Fun
Transcript
00:00We're three weeks into the build on the idyllic hotspot of Phillip Island.
00:06But it's been no picnic for our rookie teams.
00:10Why do you have to carry on like this?
00:12You are being such a narcissist right now.
00:14Enough's enough.
00:15Seven grand's the number.
00:16If you don't want it, just let me know now so we can move forward.
00:18Yeah?
00:19And get married.
00:20That's all.
00:21Oh, I'm seriously concerned.
00:22If we don't start moving, I'll just send a waterproof IMD.
00:23Start moving?
00:24I've been moving all day, mate.
00:26Not sure I've got the right guy for the job at the moment.
00:27Wow, I love this so much.
00:28Last night, main en-suites were delivered.
00:29This here is ticking all the boxes for a buyer.
00:30Well, all except for one.
00:31What the fudge is this?
00:32You're kidding me.
00:33It's not even waterproofing, let alone a tile.
00:34How are you feeling, boys?
00:35It's been a tough week, I know.
00:36Yeah, mate.
00:37I'm a bit tired.
00:38I'm a bit tired.
00:39I'm a bit tired.
00:40I'm a bit tired.
00:41I'm a bit tired.
00:42I'm a bit tired.
00:43I'm a bit tired.
00:44I'm a bit tired.
00:45I'm a bit tired.
00:46I'm a bit tired.
00:47I'm a bit tired.
00:48I'm a bit tired.
00:49I'm a bit tired.
00:56Feeling pretty flat today.
00:57After two weeks in second place, Courtney and Grant finally took home the win.
01:02We won.
01:03It's relief, not excitement at this point.
01:05And they weren't the only ones celebrating.
01:09What?
01:10We got a ten!
01:11The first ten as well.
01:12I think that is just such good juju.
01:15Very difficult to get a ten from Darren.
01:17Last time he gave someone a ten, they went on to win the block.
01:21Wow.
01:22Tonight…
01:23We're doing a kids' room!
01:24I'm so excited, so, so, so excited.
01:26Work begins in the second bedroom.
01:28Orders for my attendant are done, CSR's done,
01:30true cause done.
01:31Alice and Marty drop by.
01:33Hello.
01:34To throw Kylie completely off course.
01:37If you don't do bunks, I think that would be a miss.
01:40I wasn't aiming it at families.
01:42Like, yeah, but no, like not a kid's kid's room.
01:45And Courtney and Grant celebrate their win
01:48alongside block royalty, Elisa and Lysandra.
01:51Oh, my God, we did it, we won!
01:53Oh, my God, we did it, we won!
01:55Hi.
01:56Hello.
01:57Hi.
01:58Oh, my God.
01:59Wow.
02:00I was in shock.
02:01Welcome.
02:02Wow.
02:03And I don't think Grant knew who they were.
02:04I'm going to pull my hand up and admittedly say,
02:07I didn't know who they were.
02:09Yeah, so Monday morning, it's always an exciting time
02:28because we get to jump on the Domain In The Know hub.
02:32Stop touching, stop.
02:33Mate.
02:34It's one person twice at a time, bro.
02:36And find out what room we're doing.
02:38It's bedroom week.
02:39Yes.
02:40This week, teams will start work
02:42on the second guest bedrooms in their house,
02:44and they're encouraged to provide a multifunctional space.
02:48Could the room be used as a guest room,
02:50maybe a study for someone?
02:51Could you put the grandparents there?
02:53An au pair.
02:55What's that?
02:57A pair is usually someone that looks after your kids.
03:00Just FYI.
03:01Ah, like a dog sitter.
03:03Correct.
03:04Nice.
03:05Definitely a new word for me.
03:07I haven't ever heard that word before.
03:10How were you feeling after the judging last night?
03:14It wasn't quite the roasting we were expecting last night.
03:17To not deliver an ensuite,
03:19yeah, we really felt like we'd let ourselves down,
03:21so we thought that we were going to get a bigger roasting.
03:24After a week plagued with build issues,
03:27Saturday, House 3 were forced to rip up their waterproofing
03:31and plaster after it was damaged.
03:34I'm deflated.
03:35I'm not going to be able to compete to win ensuite week,
03:37which is if I wanted to win a bathroom and ensuite
03:40on the block for my whole life.
03:42But the judges were pretty understanding.
03:44Wow.
03:46It feels like somebody walked off.
03:48That's what I feel.
03:49And it feels like somebody walked off at a point
03:51where they couldn't continue at all,
03:54and if that's the case, I feel really sorry for the boys.
03:57Oh, I feel sick for them.
03:59Yeah, it was disappointing.
04:00Like, I felt like we deserved a roasting.
04:02I really wanted someone just to rip in,
04:04just be like, you're a disgrace, mate.
04:06You've let your team and your country down.
04:08Pull your heads in.
04:09But it was just like,
04:10oh, something obviously happened to the boys.
04:12This shows me that at least the boys came and swept it.
04:16They noticed the room was swept clean.
04:18And that's 2024 for you, you know?
04:20You get participation awards,
04:21and even when you stuff everything up,
04:23it's like, oh, at least they cleaned.
04:25No, roast me, dammit.
04:27What am I going to do for a roasting around here?
04:30What sort of score did you get for that effort?
04:32I think we got 4 out of a possible 30.
04:35I think that's the lowest score I've ever received
04:38in anything that I've ever got.
04:40I think I even scored higher in Chinese
04:43when I was doing Chinese in Year 9,
04:46and I sucked at Chinese.
04:48Give us your best Chinese now.
04:50La shu hao.
04:51And that translates to...
04:53Hello, teacher.
04:54And that's where it starts and ends.
04:58How was last night?
05:00Last night, we went to the pub, had some dinner.
05:04Were you talking about the judging?
05:06Yeah.
05:07Oh, sorry.
05:08Feedback was not great.
05:10It was quite harsh,
05:11but we took it in the parts that I agreed with.
05:18Oh, this is a massive drop of the ball.
05:21Yeah.
05:22For the winners of the previous weeks.
05:24Christian and Mimi came in fourth place last night
05:27on just 21.5 points.
05:29Which is quite the fall from grace
05:31for the team that took out the first two room wins.
05:34Maybe got a little bit arrogant.
05:36Maybe got a little bit too cocky.
05:38Maybe complacency.
05:39That's it.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Was it upsetting?
05:42It was upsetting at the time.
05:44Um...
05:45I don't believe I'm arrogant.
05:47I don't think I'm cocky.
05:50Um...
05:51Maybe subconsciously we were complacent.
05:54But this week, we're just going to come back,
05:57you know, harder.
05:58That's all.
05:59I'm not going to dwell on it.
06:01Onwards and upwards.
06:02Water for ducks crack.
06:08I think it's back.
06:10Well, let's see what the rest of the teams think
06:13about House 5's main en suite
06:15at this morning's Open for Inspections.
06:25Our room, our selections,
06:27I stand by.
06:28It's more so the planning of the space.
06:32I've never seen such a useless shower.
06:37Planned poorly.
06:38It's laid out poorly.
06:40I don't like their styling.
06:42We have a penguin and we have a penguin.
06:44It's naff.
06:45It's cliche.
06:46Like, no.
06:50Hmm.
06:51Sounds like mating season down at the penguin parade.
06:54It does.
06:55This is a big shower.
06:57Why is it there?
06:59I think they could have halved it.
07:01I think there's a bit of wasted space here.
07:03They could have done bath and double shower
07:05when you walk in from the back,
07:07and they still would have had a massive shower.
07:09I don't mind it.
07:10Mate, they're fantastic.
07:11That's a perfect height.
07:12That is a perfect height.
07:13Mate, when you sit here, you're just like,
07:15jeez.
07:17I'll be the penguins.
07:18They're kind of cute.
07:19Like, they don't need to be there.
07:22Oh, the penguins.
07:23Yeah, not for me.
07:24Not for me.
07:25Not for me.
07:26Mimi?
07:27And they like this tile.
07:28Yeah, I don't.
07:30I don't see how this isn't harsh and cold.
07:34I'm just not a fan.
07:36Is this how people feel when they walk into a house?
07:39Probably.
07:40Well, let's find out.
07:42House 4 came in third last night
07:44with their highest score of the competition so far.
07:47But the judges are still divided on Carly and Brad's aesthetic.
07:52It's so hard to step away from what you like.
07:55And I know we're not creating a house for ourselves.
08:02But why do I need to be coastal?
08:08Like, I don't think I need to be.
08:15This has just gone so far from what is needed
08:19in a beach house.
08:20It's not funny.
08:21I get that.
08:22But Phillip Island isn't just about the beach.
08:25And I think it's a massive step in the right direction.
08:31Ooh, I like it.
08:33Ooh, this is nice.
08:35This is beautiful.
08:36It feels like I'm in, like, a really trendy hotel.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Um, how is this not up there?
08:43I know.
08:44It's pretty luxe.
08:45Pretty sick, you know?
08:46Yeah.
08:47I think that would take a bit too hard.
08:49Again.
08:50So what's this show?
08:51I don't know.
08:52Oh, my goodness.
08:55How'd they find this?
08:57They went to Japan.
08:59Oh.
09:00This is actually quite a cool look though.
09:02Yeah, it's from Mater 10.
09:03I think it really suits their house.
09:05Oh, they went with the black toilet paper again.
09:07I only found out three years into our relationship
09:10that he's a scruncher.
09:11Who's a scruncher?
09:12Would you have gone out with him
09:13if you knew that in the first place?
09:14Probably not.
09:16Now I'm locked in to a scruncher.
09:18Coming in second place last night was House One.
09:23Jessie and Paige scored 27.5 points
09:26and the first ten of the season from Darren Palmer.
09:30What?
09:31I can't stop the feeling
09:32Nothing I can see but you
09:34When you dance, dance, dance to it
09:36I mean, receiving a ten on the block
09:38is a bit of a bucket list accomplishment.
09:40I know.
09:41I'm just reliving it all over again
09:43and I'm getting butterflies.
09:44Yeah.
09:45This is sophisticated, fresh.
09:48It's elegant.
09:49This here is ticking all the boxes for a buyer.
09:53In terms of layout and planning,
09:55this is absolutely successful.
09:59Woo!
10:00Oh, love the stone.
10:02Yeah, it's really nice.
10:04Beautiful.
10:05Damn!
10:07Wow.
10:08This is beautiful.
10:09It's really lux.
10:11Well, I guess that's why they got a ten.
10:13Definitely worth a ten.
10:15Yeah, very nice.
10:16It is very nice.
10:17Where are all the switches?
10:20Light switch outside, it must be on the outside.
10:25Yeah, all on the outside.
10:26Putting light switches on the outside of the room,
10:28that's an absolute disgrace.
10:29It should be an instant fail, as far as I'm concerned.
10:31The amount of time I've wasted
10:32looking for light switches in people's houses,
10:34if that doesn't bring the reserve down
10:36and their houses come auction day,
10:37I don't know what will.
10:40Um, yeah, look.
10:42It's the same layout as ours.
10:47Fake plan.
10:48Not a ten.
10:49Would you give it a ten?
10:50No.
10:52After coming second in the past two weeks
10:54by just half a point,
10:55last night Courtney and Grant
10:57finally took out the top spot.
10:59It's Courtney and Grant!
11:04With a massive score of 28 points.
11:06We're feeling good.
11:07We finally won.
11:08Finally.
11:09And we won by half a point.
11:12This is insane.
11:15Oh, I want to touch everything.
11:17It's sexy.
11:19And it's because of the texture.
11:21It's because of the matte finish.
11:23This is something that you'll find in a six-star hotel
11:26anywhere in the world.
11:27Oh, ****.
11:30Oh, my God.
11:31Oh, wow.
11:33What a win.
11:34Well deserved.
11:36Wow.
11:37That Venetian plaster is stunning.
11:39That's a sick finish, isn't it?
11:41That's solid.
11:42Yeah.
11:44I think they deserve to win this week,
11:46from what I've seen.
11:47Yeah, I think because there's just character.
11:49Yeah, even that.
11:50Personality.
11:52I quite like it,
11:53but, like, there's too much on their vanity.
11:55Like, that's too much styling.
11:56It's just way too much going on.
11:58Apparently not.
12:00Artwork in an ensuite.
12:02Yeah.
12:03Wow.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Wouldn't the steam and stuff wreck it?
12:06Mould.
12:07Yeah, yeah.
12:09I don't know.
12:14I think it's just so, so luxurious.
12:17I think this deserves a 10.
12:19I profit.
12:20I should be very proud.
12:21I don't really want to leave this room.
12:22And this?
12:24I think I would have preferred something on a rail.
12:27Yeah.
12:28Yeah, what would you do with this?
12:31Jeez, this looks like a good time, doesn't it?
12:34Hey!
12:37There's a square of water as well.
12:40Very interesting place for equipment, that.
12:49The judges weren't the only ones
12:51that our teams had to impress last week.
12:53On Saturday, resident block plumbers Tom and Marty,
12:56along with the boys from Reece,
12:58did their own walk-arounds
13:00to determine who they think should win a massive prize
13:03for their next bathroom.
13:08And this morning, they've come to a decision.
13:10Hey, mate.
13:11Tommy.
13:12Hey, Courtney.
13:13How are you doing?
13:14Good, how are you?
13:15Good.
13:16How are you going?
13:17Yeah, good, how are you?
13:18Marty.
13:19Come off the back of your win?
13:20Yeah.
13:21Well, Reece have asked us to hand out an award
13:23for the best bathroom on the block.
13:24Oh.
13:25Now, it's a $10,000 bathroom upgrade for your next bathroom.
13:27Jeez.
13:28For us?
13:29For you guys, yeah.
13:30Seriously?
13:31Yes.
13:32Well done, Courtney.
13:34Enjoy that.
13:35Oh, this is amazing.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Yay!
13:38Double win.
13:39Double win.
13:40$10,000 from Reece.
13:41That is exciting.
13:42Very happy.
13:44This is amazing.
13:45That's awesome.
13:46$10,000 means we can do a really, really nice main en suite
13:48again upstairs.
13:49Upstairs, yeah.
13:50And now I know I'm just going to keep photocopying this
13:52every week.
13:53And I'll just keep getting $10,000 from Reece.
13:55Guys, we want another $10,000.
13:56You don't know it, but it's happened.
13:57It's happened.
13:58Coming up.
13:59Do I fit in it?
14:00Yeah.
14:01Teams begin planning this week's bedroom.
14:03We can still do a feature wall behind the bed.
14:06But not everyone is on the same page.
14:09Bunks or two singles?
14:10I hate either.
14:12I would love to do a built-in here.
14:14And that's what I was saying last night.
14:16No one f***ing listens to me.
14:18No one's listening to you.
14:19Yeah, I'm sure you are.
14:20Cut your attitude out.
14:21It just felt like Jesse wasn't really hearing me.
14:29You too can get exclusive access to this week's rooms
14:33by heading to domains in the Know Hub.
14:35It's the go-to website where every Monday
14:38contestants can find my tips,
14:40plus all they need to know for another big week of renovations.
14:48It's day one of guest bedroom week,
14:50but before they get stuck into this week's room,
14:53I've got a special delivery for house one.
14:59Ooh.
15:05So I obviously received the first ten of the season last night.
15:09Scotty did leave us a little message.
15:11He will be arriving today with a little reward for us.
15:15Hello.
15:16Hey, Scotty.
15:17Hello.
15:18Hi.
15:19What's this?
15:20Big Bicky.
15:21There's some Tim Tams in there.
15:23Open her up.
15:24We've got Tim Tams.
15:25We've got scotch fingers.
15:26We've got Vovos.
15:27Jesse had never had a Vovo.
15:29First time.
15:30And...
15:31And...
15:33Money!
15:34Woo!
15:35Money!
15:36Queen cash.
15:37This is fresh.
15:38$10,000.
15:39$10,000.
15:40Yes.
15:41You get ten grand for ten.
15:42$10,000.
15:43$10,000.
15:44Pretty cool reward from Scotty.
15:45It's $10,000 into the kitty.
15:47We're looking pretty good on budget, but that really helps us.
15:50Congratulations.
15:51$10,000.
15:52Thank you, Scotty.
15:53Thank you so much.
15:54Always a pleasure.
15:55$10,000.
15:56$10,000.
15:57$10,000.
16:08Oh, I've left my trailer...
16:10I've left my trailer for a second and you're taking all my Bickys.
16:14Oh, I suppose I'll write trading treats on there.
16:17Off you go.
16:21We've got a public holiday this week,
16:23so, yeah, we have got to get a room mostly delivered
16:26by Thursday afternoon.
16:27Yep.
16:28Hey.
16:29Hey.
16:30Jeez, what are you doing?
16:31That's the guest room.
16:32That's our schedule.
16:33These are the items we need to buy.
16:34I didn't know there was, like, little post-it notes on there.
16:35The orders.
16:36Orders for Mitre 10 are done.
16:37CSR's done.
16:38Truecore's done.
16:39This week we have a guest room.
16:40We want a multifunctional space,
16:42so think your grandparents can stay,
16:44like a nanny could stay,
16:45it could be friends or family.
16:47All team second guest bedrooms
16:49are located next to the first guest bedrooms
16:51they delivered in week two.
16:53Courtney and Grant's room will include a queen bed,
16:56which will be recessed into a curved feature wall.
16:59Opposite, they'll have wardrobes,
17:01the built-in study wall,
17:03and the room will be styled in their signature tones.
17:06We're going to try and add, like, nice, like, calming colours,
17:09keeping it real luxe,
17:10and then obviously tying in that Mediterranean vibe.
17:13Mediterranean.
17:14Does it matter what I want in this room, or...?
17:16You are... You love this style.
17:17You are Mediterranean. What do you mean?
17:19You're a modern Mediterranean man.
17:20Am I your inspiration?
17:22Sometimes. Sometimes not.
17:25In house three, after firing their builders last week...
17:29Thanks to everyone.
17:30..Ricky and Hayden have enlisted the help of a former contestant
17:33and builder, Duncan.
17:35Absolutely pumped.
17:36Duncan's his own building company
17:38has brought his team down from Sydney to join the block.
17:42They're like SAS, you know, they're special operatives,
17:45and they're here to seek and deliver winning rooms.
17:49To know that we've got an ex-contestant and an all-star,
17:53the celebrity Duncan on our side, is going to be huge for our team.
17:57Obviously, every Monday is a fresh start,
17:59but to be starting with Duncan, we're pretty jacked.
18:02Look at him.
18:04Your builder's on deck.
18:05Do you know where another one of those bolts are?
18:08Another one of those bolts are? Yes, I do.
18:11Getting bolts.
18:12After failing to complete last week's main en suite,
18:15Ricky and Hayden are hoping to come back strong
18:18with this week's guest bedroom.
18:21It'll feature a wall of built-in wardrobes,
18:24a queen bed with bedside tables,
18:26and a curb feature wall, custom LED lighting and Grafico wallpaper.
18:31We decided to do a guest bed that could be universal,
18:35so anywhere from an older teenager to an adult.
18:38And then on top of that, you've got last week's bathroom.
18:40Are you going to try and get that done too? Yeah.
18:42No reason why we can't finish two rooms this week.
18:44I think it's a good idea that we smash it out.
18:46I think the judges will appreciate, you know,
18:48that we haven't laid down and forgotten about it.
18:52So we're doing a bedroom this week,
18:55and we're making it a little girls' room.
18:58Yeah, we thought we would have fun this week.
19:00We wanted to show a bit more personality,
19:02and the place to do that is a kids' room.
19:05Jessie and Paige's guest bedroom
19:07will include a small walk-in wardrobe
19:09and because of the unusual shape of their room,
19:12they're at odds as to what to do with this space here.
19:16The room will include two single beds
19:18and be styled with colourful artwork and Grafico wallpaper.
19:22But it's the alcove across from the beds
19:25where Paige wants to add extra storage.
19:32I would love to do a built-in here.
19:34I would love to do something like that, but...
19:36OK.
19:39Built-in what? Sorry.
19:41Like, cupboards. Why the f*** would I put a robe there?
19:44Sorry, I didn't mean robes. Cupboards.
19:46Like, just a built-in space. I don't know.
19:48That's something you've got to talk to Kingsman about,
19:50if they can get that here. Exactly.
19:52And that's what I was saying last night.
19:54No-one f***ing listens to me. I was listening to you.
19:56Yeah, I'm sure you were. Cut your attitude out.
19:58I can't cut my attitude out
19:59when you haven't been listening to me for three weeks.
20:01What the f*** is going on here?
20:03Hi, mate. Hello.
20:05I think the pressures of the block,
20:07you know, can definitely put a strain on,
20:09you know, those close relationships, like, for a couple.
20:12Coming on here with your partner... Yeah.
20:14..I don't think I could do it.
20:16I think the advantage that me and H have
20:18is that our relationship
20:20is not the same as a couple's relationship.
20:23So, yeah, I do have concerns
20:25if it's going to be a little bit too much for some others.
20:29Stop telling me to cut the attitude when you're talking like that.
20:32Let's just listen to Zach. Don't try and talk to us.
20:34Nah, it's all good.
20:36What?
20:37It's like, we've got to stop now.
20:39You need to stop. I am stopping.
20:43It just felt like Jesse wasn't really hearing me.
20:47So I was, like, I just got, like, very overwhelmed in that moment.
20:58I was just really having a little breakdown
21:03with where our communication was at.
21:05So I went back to our bedroom, and I was quite emotional.
21:10I'm trying to be, like, so nice and so resilient,
21:14and then I have a bit of an attitude,
21:17and it's just like he's just not understanding why.
21:23It's just like he just wants to talk to me at his leisure.
21:26Like, he just doesn't care when I try and, like, broach topics with him,
21:30like, what he was trying to talk to me about up there.
21:33I've been trying to talk to him about for days.
21:35He just acts like in front of people and in front of the camera.
21:39It's like I'm the problem.
21:45It's just so frustrating.
21:49Um, Jesse is my only person here,
21:52and I just felt like he wasn't or hasn't been.
22:03Hello.
22:11Hello.
22:18Feel...
22:20Feel good?
22:22Yeah, I'm good.
22:23You cold?
22:24Frozen.
22:26Not the way you want to start your Monday?
22:28A little rocky morning?
22:30I might be half.
22:31Hmm.
22:32So, um, just be better with how I work with this one at times.
22:38Just communicate like a normal person, and we'll be fine.
22:41Yeah.
22:49The Block is ultimately a real estate game,
22:52and it all comes down to auction day.
22:54Good morning, everyone.
22:55Good morning.
22:56So I brought the teams together
22:57to meet a couple of top flight experts to help them stay focused.
23:01Resident property expert from Domain, Alice Stoltz.
23:04Welcome.
23:05Hello.
23:06Alice is an important part of the Block family.
23:09Each season, she's on hand to guide our contestants
23:12through all things real estate.
23:14And our Block judge, Marty Fox.
23:19Savvy real estate agent and CEO of White Fox Real Estate,
23:23Judge Marty Fox has developed a reputation for not holding back.
23:28This is probably one of the best things in here
23:30is the black toilet paper.
23:32Rude.
23:33It's a good room. It's not a great room.
23:36This is a massive drop of the ball
23:38for such an important room for the sale of the house.
23:42Alice, what can you tell us about this area?
23:45Well, guys, the good news is that there are three times more people
23:49looking for holiday homes than last year,
23:52and most of them have kids.
23:54So what this means is they need space.
23:56Marty, what's your take on this?
23:57Well, first of all, it's great to finally meet you all face-to-face.
24:01Who has actually locked in a real estate agent and their auctioneer?
24:05Two.
24:06I would be doing this from week one.
24:08The real estate agent and the auctioneer
24:10can make or break an auction, can't they?
24:11Absolutely.
24:12OK, head back to your houses.
24:14These guys will come and visit you,
24:15and you can ask them everything you want to know.
24:17Perfect.
24:18Thank you, guys.
24:20See you.
24:21Get moving.
24:22Bye.
24:24Can we just opt out?
24:28I don't want to talk to them.
24:34So Marty and Alice came by.
24:36It's such a pleasure to meet them in person.
24:38Hello.
24:39How are we?
24:40Marty.
24:41Nice to meet you.
24:42I'm Jessie, I'm Alice.
24:43Nice to meet you, Alice.
24:44So how's it all been?
24:45It's been a whirlwind.
24:46Yeah?
24:47Yeah.
24:48But we're loving it.
24:49We're just, like, we're having the best time.
24:51And getting along well?
24:52Yes.
24:53Maybe not a bit this morning, but generally we do.
24:56What have the judges said thus far
24:58on what you've been delivering?
24:59So the judges, I mean, I feel like we have been
25:02getting really positive feedback.
25:07And there's been really good constructive elements
25:09and elements that will keep us on a good track.
25:12For me, it's a massive win for these guys.
25:14I'm so happy for them.
25:15This is sexy, and this is classy.
25:17This is more sophisticated, fresh.
25:20It's elegant.
25:21Oh, I'm so proud of them.
25:23Your style is very marketable.
25:25Your agents will really love this style of aesthetic.
25:28Yep.
25:29And on that topic of agents, how come you've left it so long?
25:33So it's not like we haven't been having conversations
25:36or getting names and putting things in the bank.
25:39We have never had to hire a real estate agent
25:42or an auctioneer before.
25:43The block's so crazy, and you get so caught up in that week
25:46and what you're doing that you need a reminder like that.
25:49It's like, OK, you need to start thinking of the future.
25:53Five million.
25:54Five million!
25:56Five million!
25:58Auction's pretty important, right?
26:00It's a pretty important part of the process.
26:02Maybe the most important part.
26:05I'll be on that straight away.
26:06Yes.
26:07I just believe you need your amazing advisory board,
26:09and that is listening to judges, doing your own research,
26:12and speaking to that agent.
26:14They know who that buyer's going to be.
26:16You need to make sure that you're thinking about auction day today.
26:20Yeah.
26:21Well done, guys.
26:22Thank you, guys.
26:23It was a really good moment where we were just kicked into gear
26:25and we remembered that finding a real estate agent is priority.
26:30Understanding your buyer is an important part of the real estate game.
26:34Kylie and Brad have a clear vision in mind for their house.
26:38There you go. No painting this week. Whoo!
26:40The market that we're sort of trying to hit
26:43is either a slightly older family that has older children
26:46or more families that can all come into one home.
26:49Kylie and Brad are the only team
26:51who aren't turning at least one of their guest bedrooms
26:54into a kids' room.
26:55This week, I feel like we're just going to do
26:58like an older teen slash another guest room.
27:03Their plan is to include a double bed
27:05with bedhead and hanging pendant lights,
27:07a port-a-timber feature along the wall,
27:09and built-in wardrobes in their signature colour black.
27:13We get a visit from Alice and Marty.
27:15I've heard a little bit about it.
27:17I don't want to do any talking.
27:19We're already going against the grain.
27:21I'm just going to get hammered by them.
27:23Judge Marty has certainly had some strong opinions
27:26about Kylie and Brad's style so far.
27:28The only thing that I like about this room is the skylight
27:31because when I'm looking up, I don't have to see anything else.
27:35If they continue this theme throughout the other rooms,
27:38this is going to be possibly the biggest disaster
27:42we've seen in 20 seasons.
27:45Hello. Hello.
27:47Hi, Marty, Brad. Nice to meet you.
27:49Hi, Brad, I'm Alice. Nice to meet you as well.
27:51I'm already on a back foot knowing that I'm talking to someone
27:54that's given me some pretty critical feedback about my style
27:58and I slightly feel attacked before it even starts.
28:04How's it all been for the last three weeks?
28:07Yeah, it's been a bit rough, really.
28:09Yeah, it's been a bit rough.
28:12Yeah, it's been a bit rough, really.
28:14We did a lot of things right this week,
28:16but I guess we just need a bit of an explanation
28:18on what we're missing. Absolutely.
28:20Well, look, I was really positive this week.
28:22In week one, the bathroom was, in my opinion, very polarising
28:26and I felt that this week it had turned a corner.
28:30I think it was a great turn in the right direction
28:33and I'm always looking through the lens of auction day.
28:37Who do you imagine might buy your house?
28:40What would you say?
28:41We're not aiming it at a family with kids.
28:43You're not? OK.
28:44We're not doing it for younger children.
28:47I guess I'd just bear in mind that these buyers, 25 to 54,
28:51over half of them have kids.
28:53Yeah, I guess we were also...
28:54If we were going to aim anywhere towards kids,
28:56it would be slightly older kids.
28:58I'm not suggesting you have to have a nursery,
29:00but I do just think you need to think of a family of some description.
29:03With this week's room, you're doing another bedroom, correct?
29:06Yeah.
29:07Consider that one having bunks
29:09or having the ability to sleep with two king singles.
29:13I wasn't aiming it at families.
29:15Like, yeah, but no, like, not a kids' kids' room.
29:18It just goes away from...
29:21..what I wanted to do.
29:23If you don't do bunks,
29:25you could really segment your market and tighten it right down
29:28because a lot of the people that buy this, they will put it on Airbnb.
29:31Think of yourself when you're searching.
29:33Most people are thinking, minimum, how many does this sleep?
29:36Like, you've got four kids, is that right?
29:38Like, think about your own kids
29:39and what would make them happy and how they live, though.
29:41Like, use that intel that you've got.
29:43But make sure that this room, this week, can sleep multiple people.
29:47I think that would be a miss.
29:50I've been going to a really fun bunk room there, guys.
29:53Was it nice to meet Alice? Like, was it helpful at all?
29:56Yeah, it's always nice to meet new people.
30:01But...
30:02Thanks, guys. Bye-bye.
30:04We didn't plan on doing a kids' kids' bedroom,
30:08so it just throws it all back up in the air.
30:12They said it has to be multiple beds.
30:14Bunks or two singles?
30:16No two singles. What is wrong with you?
30:18I hate either.
30:22Still to come,
30:23house twos celebrate their winning style.
30:28$10,000 from fours.
30:29Looks like you're paying for dinner.
30:32And VIP guests Elisa and Lysandra share their winning tips.
30:36That is number one.
30:38If it's a functional space, people will buy it.
30:40If they can't envisage themselves in that space,
30:42they're not gonna buy it.
31:01MUSIC
31:17We're doing a kids' room!
31:18I'm so excited, so, so, so excited cos I'm a big kid
31:21and I can't wait... Put a pencil mark.
31:23..to style it and put fun things in it that I like,
31:27that also children like.
31:30A kids' room should feel...
31:32Fun.
31:33Fun.
31:34Warm.
31:35Playful.
31:36Welcoming.
31:37Cosy.
31:38Alive.
31:39House five's kids' bedroom will include
31:41a wall of built-in wardrobes,
31:43two single beds with trundles
31:45and they're adding some fun
31:47with a cloud-shaped bedhead and rainbow wallpaper.
31:51And while the bedroom is located downstairs
31:53between two other bedrooms,
31:55they're currently doing their planning upstairs,
31:58adding a layout of the room on the floor
32:00with painter's tape.
32:02Do I fit in it? Yeah.
32:04So we're upstairs.
32:05We are planning to scale our bedroom
32:09that we're doing this week
32:10just with a bit of masking tape on the floor.
32:12Cos upstairs there's lots of space,
32:13so we're just like, let's tape it out
32:14and we see to size where everything's gonna go
32:17and how it's gonna fit.
32:18You can put a little rug here and some toys.
32:21And then Marty and Alice came up.
32:23Oh, hello! Hello, Mimi.
32:25It's good to see you planning.
32:26These guys have won the first two weeks.
32:28I'm so impressed by this. I know.
32:30And I'm so impressed by this.
32:32How beautiful is it? How amazing.
32:34What a difference.
32:35You're in the palm trees.
32:36I know. You're so lucky.
32:38You are in the light. Yeah.
32:40While the other houses will all have
32:42a mezzanine level above the garage,
32:45House 5 are the only double-storey house
32:47on the block this year
32:49and they've got the views to prove it.
32:51This is real estate gold.
32:54And I think being the point of difference
32:56amongst the other houses,
32:57as long as you do a great job,
32:59it's gonna be great.
33:01Now, have you locked in an agent, an auctioneer?
33:04No, we don't have anything.
33:06No agent, no auctioneer.
33:08No one.
33:09And it's stressing me out.
33:10And you're a planner.
33:11I know.
33:12What are you doing?
33:13I'm planning all the other rooms
33:14except for the most important thing.
33:16I think I've been in denial,
33:18like, about the whole agent and auctioneer situation.
33:22I don't like making adult decisions, ever.
33:26If we can offer some advice.
33:27Yes, please.
33:28Yes.
33:29Real estate is a marketing game.
33:31Look at how they shoot properties.
33:32Look at their social media.
33:34Look at the way in which they present themselves
33:36because they are an extension of you
33:38in a campaign.
33:39Yeah.
33:40You need to make sure that it's somebody
33:41that you get along with,
33:42that understands the property,
33:43that understands the market,
33:45and that can build the marketing campaign
33:47that does this home justice.
33:49Yeah, so I would be hopping on that phone, Mimi,
33:51and I mean today.
33:52I cannot stress this enough, guys.
33:54You've got to get this done, like, this week.
33:56Yeah.
33:57I feel overwhelmed.
33:58I feel like I could pass out right now.
34:04I'm scared.
34:11After speaking to Marty and Alice,
34:13they've suggested to scrap our bedroom, my dear,
34:16and go with multiple sleeping beds,
34:19so bunk beds, multiple singles,
34:21targeting younger children, I guess.
34:23And heavy suggested at younger children,
34:25which is not at all where I was going to take this house.
34:29Bunks or two singles?
34:31No two singles.
34:32What is wrong with you?
34:34I hate either.
34:38So, yeah, after that, I had a bit of a go at Kylie.
34:43I felt the same sort of way as I'm sure she does,
34:46is you get conflicted and then you're stressed out
34:48and you're like, what are we doing?
34:50How are you feeling? Do you feel flat?
34:52I don't know, just in a bit of a mood at the moment.
34:56Oh, I'm not happy.
34:58With me?
34:59Yeah.
35:03I was like, ooh, see you later.
35:05Me, out of all things, how dare he?
35:09I can give it to Brad and he handles it,
35:12but the minute he gives it back, I'm like, nah, I'm out.
35:15I don't handle that well.
35:17So, yeah, went off to bed, straight to bed.
35:26Oh, why?
35:29Why are you mad at me just because I said you had the...
35:34What are we going to do in this room?
35:39I was a bit stressed out about how long I could afford to have a...
35:45Not talking.
35:46In a mood, how long I'd be in a mood for.
35:50The real estate dude just said we need to do, like, multiple beds.
35:54She doesn't want to borrow it. She'll just sleep in the room.
35:57She won't talk to anyone. She'll pretend to be asleep.
36:00So...
36:03I went and stressed out in the car for a bit.
36:09You all right?
36:11Yeah.
36:13Nah, it's just frustrating.
36:16She was set on what she wanted to do and...
36:20now I don't know what we're doing.
36:23She wants to be left alone.
36:29So you're just closing the door on today?
36:31Yeah, just closing the door to see you later,
36:33see the world tomorrow through different eyes.
36:44Baby, I like it.
36:46We all know the block is about the auction,
36:48so today Alice Stoltz from Domain, real estate agent and judge Marty Fox
36:53have been meeting with our teams to give them advice
36:56and they've just arrived in house three.
36:58Welcome.
36:59Welcome in.
37:00Hi.
37:01Nice to meet you, Marty.
37:02Hi, Ricky, Alice.
37:03To meet Marty and Alice face-to-face was good.
37:05Obviously, both are real estate gurus,
37:07so we were excited to have a chat with them.
37:09What sort of buy are you aiming for?
37:11Who do you reckon is going to buy a place like this?
37:13It's definitely going to be someone who's...
37:15Looking for a second or third home.
37:17Yeah, definitely.
37:18We're looking at creating that modern-day sort of oasis,
37:21getting away from maybe their city home
37:23and coming to the nice quiet island and still living in luxe.
37:26The other thing we've been considering is how do we bring our emotion into it?
37:29I reckon part of emotion is also tapping into the nostalgia of beach houses.
37:33You've hit that on the head.
37:35If you can tap into the nostalgia of the buyer, then you'll win.
37:38Go back to your own childhood and think, what was it that you did?
37:41Was it totem tennis or ping-pong tables
37:44or pushbikes hanging around the house?
37:46Things that make people think,
37:47how will I live differently down here than what I do in the rat race in Melbourne?
37:51Now, tell me about you've appointed a real estate agency.
37:54Yep, we have.
37:55Who have you got?
37:56We're going Ray White.
38:01Fantastic.
38:02So auctioneer may be a Tom Panos?
38:05Possibly.
38:06Potentially.
38:07He's on a bit of a winning streak at the moment.
38:09He needs to return.
38:10Yeah, so whether he wants to represent us or not could be the next question.
38:13I don't.
38:14I'm going to ask for an opening bid or offer.
38:16Sydney-based auctioneer Tom Panos is no stranger to the block,
38:20having won the last two auctions.
38:22Omar and Oz in Gisborne
38:24and Steph and Jian in Hampton East.
38:27Both of those teams were also represented by Ray White Real Estate.
38:31Both walked away with well over a million dollars each.
38:35Obviously, we've seen Tom Panos do his thing before
38:38and he's the best of the best.
38:40I'm going to call it at four million.
38:43And both of us being real big team men,
38:45we know that it's about having the right people on your team.
38:49So, yeah, we're hoping to have him there come game day as well.
38:52Are you going to tell your fellow neighbours about that?
38:54Well, we're like, you know, it's like a need-to-know basis.
38:58We don't like shouting things from the top of the treetops.
39:02All right, thanks, guys.
39:03Keep up the work.
39:04Great to meet you.
39:05Congratulations.
39:06Looking forward to getting some bigger numbers next week, mate.
39:08Oh, mate, deliver better rooms.
39:11We know we've got to step our game up if we're going to win a room,
39:14so we've got a couple of big rooms coming up
39:16and if we can win a couple of those major ones,
39:19yeah, it's game on.
39:23Hello.
39:24Hello.
39:25Hi, Alice.
39:26Hi, Alice, I'm Courtney.
39:27Hi, Courtney.
39:28Marty.
39:29Marty's a good-looking man.
39:31He's stylish, isn't he?
39:32He's so stylish.
39:33The brown suit.
39:34You should get a suit like that.
39:38You're setting yourself up for success.
39:40Yeah.
39:41Have you actually done the planning for your agent and auctioneer?
39:44We have, yes.
39:45You have.
39:46So we've locked in our agent.
39:47And who is that?
39:48That's Ray White.
39:51So that would be two people using Ray White.
39:54That's two people using Ray White.
39:55Yes, we know.
39:56Okay, how is this going to work?
39:58So they have a different Ray White agent.
40:00They're going to have a different auctioneer as well.
40:01And who, what auctioneer have you got?
40:03An opening bidder offer to get us up and going here today.
40:06We're 99% sure, according to his words, it's Tom Pannock.
40:09Tom Pannock?
40:10Oh, wow.
40:11We met with Tom.
40:12Sydney couple.
40:13We loved Tom.
40:14Yeah, we thought we'd have to.
40:15We met with Tom before we left Sydney.
40:17You go with the person that's got the results.
40:19And we don't know if he'll be our auctioneer just yet.
40:21But I think if we get him, I think, yeah, they'd be pretty jealous.
40:25Well, I guess we'll have to watch this space.
40:28Speaking of tug of wars,
40:29the breakdown of communication between Jessie and Paige
40:32seems to be continuing as they heed Alice and Marty's advice
40:36and head off to get a real estate agent.
40:40Like, I just feel like I'm just at your disposal.
40:43Like, you only listen to me when you want to.
40:47It's definitely not the case for me.
40:48When you try and, like, throw it back in my face
40:50in front of people and in front of a camera
40:53when I have an attitude,
40:55because no-one's there to pick up on why I have an attitude.
40:58Mm-hm.
40:59I don't think having arguments is bad sometimes.
41:04But on the block, our fights have been a little bit more intense
41:07because we are very emotionally heightened.
41:11We're very sleep deprived.
41:12We're under a lot of pressure internally and externally.
41:17I've been really patient for three weeks.
41:19But if you want to disrespect me again in front of people
41:22and in front of a camera,
41:23I'm going to f***ing walk off.
41:24OK.
41:25Do you understand me?
41:26Yeah.
41:27I've been really f***ing patient.
41:28It shows what renovation does to your relationship
41:31and it's a really, um...
41:34It's intense.
41:36Don't make me look like a crazy person.
41:40Just to make yourself look better.
41:42OK.
41:43Because it's very transparent what you're doing.
41:49As the pair arrive in town,
41:51they make a beeline for their first choice of agent.
41:56So our objective for today, we just wanted to go in,
41:59see who was there.
42:02Oh, dear.
42:07After you.
42:17As day one of guest bedroom week comes to a close,
42:20last night's winners, Courtney and Grant,
42:22are getting ready to leave site...
42:24See you, peasants!
42:25..on their Ford getaway.
42:30The winners of each week are treated to a night away with me.
42:33And today we're heading to Victoria's stunning Mornington Peninsula.
42:36Should we stop past McDonald's?
42:38Yeah, no, we definitely stop past McDonald's.
42:40Just in case it's all fancy food tonight.
42:43Whoa.
42:44No, don't go too fast, though, please.
42:46Why?
42:47Because it's 60 along here.
42:48I don't want to drive it. I'll get stolen.
43:04I've loaned out the Ford Mustang Mark E for the trip
43:07and asked the pair to meet me at the Continental Hotel in Sorrento.
43:15Nice hotel.
43:16It's so nice.
43:18Yeah, perfect.
43:19We got to reception and, like,
43:21there was two girls kind of fiddling around in the cupboard,
43:24like, backs turned away.
43:25Service time was terrible.
43:26We were waiting there for ages.
43:27I was like, gosh, why are they...?
43:29Hello, we're here.
43:30Hi.
43:31Oh, hello.
43:32Hi.
43:33And then Alyssa and Lysandra turned around and I was like,
43:36wow, I was in shock.
43:38Oh, my God.
43:39Welcome.
43:40Wow.
43:41And I don't think Grant knew they were here.
43:43I'm going to pull my hand up and immediately say,
43:45I didn't know who they were.
43:47Let me help you out, Grant.
43:49Former block contestants and fiery twins Alyssa and Lysandra
43:53were known for being outspoken.
43:55Kyle and Cara produced probably the worst room of the block
43:59and they get a six and a half, and it's not fair.
44:02Going.
44:04They won the block back in 2013
44:06and came back the following year to compete as all-stars.
44:10Altogether, they've taken home a combined total
44:13of over $1 million from the competition.
44:16And tonight, they're our VIP guests.
44:19Oh!
44:20Oh!
44:21That's the man we're looking for.
44:23Don't tell me you two have bought a hotel.
44:26Well, how excited are you guys for the Winners and Grinners dinner?
44:30We feel like we won the right week.
44:32This joint is flash as a rat with a gold tooth, this place.
44:36I'm telling you right now, it is...
44:38And you're in the penthouse.
44:41It was... It was amazing.
44:43It was such a beautiful hotel. It was very corny.
44:46Oh, my God! Jeez!
44:48Wow, this is beautiful. Incredible.
44:51Look at the view. Wow.
44:53That is so pretty.
44:54What would you rather, this or camping?
44:56While last week's winners are living it up,
44:58back in the block, losing team Ricky and Hayden are busy working.
45:03Hey, guys.
45:04So I've come over to see your chump jackets.
45:07What's that?
45:08Oh, Mark and I were the proud winner of a chump jacket a few times.
45:12You guys look spectacular.
45:14I feel like I should have a trumpet or something.
45:16What's a chump?
45:17Chump is the team that finishes last in any given week.
45:24Whoever sucks the most.
45:25Now, that chump team wasn't rolled out for the first two weeks.
45:29What a surprise that it came out once we came last.
45:32So what was the go with these jackets?
45:34They were nice, smart-looking jackets.
45:36Yeah, they were yellow and they had tails.
45:38Yeah, right.
45:39Yeah, I'll tell you what.
45:40I reckon if we did throw on a bit of a barbecue cook-up,
45:43it might be, you know, reasonable proof to show everyone
45:46that we aren't the chumps that we acted like this week, maybe.
45:54Ricky kindly put his hand up to go down to Aldi
45:58and collect some food for the barbie.
46:01Steak, chicken, snags, done.
46:05Yeah, I just need some bread.
46:06There's no better way to climb yourself out of chumpville.
46:10Reloaded.
46:11Than to cook a champ barbecue.
46:13Mate, we've got two full chooks on.
46:15Nice.
46:16Yeah, and I've got some steaks with some steak sandwich.
46:19We like to over-cater.
46:20I love it.
46:21That's what the chumps do.
46:23Suck at bathrooms, but we cook a good barbie.
46:26What would the definition of a chump be?
46:28A chump is like, you know, isn't chump what you throw
46:31into the ocean for sharks or something?
46:33Like chump?
46:34I thought chump was like, you know, when you all go to a fair
46:37and there's the clown who doesn't want to be a clown
46:40but is forced to be.
46:42What fair are you going to?
46:43Like the old medieval days.
46:45I thought chump was rump.
46:47They might not know what it means,
46:49but all our teams are keen for a feed.
46:52Guys, are we hungry?
46:53We are starving.
46:54Awesome.
46:55Well, all except one.
46:58I did not make the chump's barbecue, no.
47:01Nor did I.
47:04And in honour of the first official chump's barbecue
47:07of season 20, Duncan has cracked down an old souvenir
47:10for the boys.
47:12I took great pride in standing side-by-side Duncan
47:14wearing the jackets.
47:16There he goes.
47:19They must have had smaller contestants back then.
47:22I think they did, yeah.
47:24I must say, I love Ricky and Hayden's barbecue.
47:27They can be a chump any time they want.
47:33Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Scott Pickett.
47:36Hello.
47:37Wow.
47:38How are you?
47:39Your celebrity chef.
47:40And have a look at the food that's already coming out.
47:42There's so much more to come,
47:43and you've all got to go and get cooking, have you?
47:45I've got to get the next course ready.
47:47Right, you've got some snacks,
47:48and then I've got a surprise for you.
47:50The steak was...
47:54Oh, God, the steak, honestly.
47:56I ate it, and it was one of the best meals I've had.
47:58It was delicious.
48:00This is absolutely outstanding.
48:03I can't wait to go back there.
48:15All right, Scotty, we've got your next course here.
48:18Yes, thank you.
48:19Yeah, bon appetit.
48:21Oh!
48:23$10,000 from Ford.
48:25It looks like you're paying for dinner.
48:28As well as taking home the $10,000 cash,
48:30Courtney and Grant also get the advantage
48:33of scoring some invaluable advice from Elisa and Lysandra.
48:36I think, first and foremost,
48:38the one thing Elisa and I always did really well
48:41was getting the layout right.
48:42That is number one.
48:44If it's a functional space, people will buy it.
48:46If they can't envisage themselves in that space,
48:48they're not going to buy it.
48:50I believe the next piece of advice,
48:53every single time you deliver a room,
48:56think outside the square.
48:58Think about how can you push it to the next level.
49:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:02So there's, like, extra things that would be, like, OK.
49:06Wow factor.
49:07The wow factor.
49:08That was really good advice.
49:09Yeah, meeting with the girls was probably, like,
49:11the biggest blessing.
49:12Congratulations.
49:13Cheers.
49:14Cheers, guys.
49:15Thanks for having us.
49:16Good luck for the rest of the competition.
49:17Winners are grinners.
49:19Your beauty.
49:20Another free meal for me, too.
49:24Tomorrow night...
49:25We're doing, like, a change of the colour.
49:27No!
49:28Guest bedroom week continues.
49:30You're going to show me a curve?
49:32So we're doing a bulkhead curve that comes out off the wall.
49:34We think we will do enough to get a win this week, hopefully.
49:37Sleeping beauty awakes.
49:39What are we doing with the room?
49:41You're not very enthused about it, that's for sure.
49:43I'm not enthused.
49:44I was never planning kids.
49:47Also, Jessie and Paige face shopping struggles.
49:50I don't think we're going to have a completed room.
49:53I'm after the Amy bedside table.
49:54I can't go home without it.
49:56No, we'll be fine.
49:57So the three main things that you build a room around,
50:00we can't get.
50:01When there's two of us, if I need to shoot out...
50:04That's OK, you can shoot out.
50:06But what are you going to buy?
50:08And Grant puts his builders in the firing line.
50:10You know what? Don't come back on Thursday.
50:12I don't need you.
50:14I'm not having you on site.
50:16You're a snake.
50:17We don't have a backup plan.
50:19We don't have a builder.
50:20I'll figure that part out.
50:22I just feel really bad.
50:24I didn't want it to come to that point.
50:25Maybe you don't.
