00:00Tonight on The Block.
00:03We have to win because I love this room.
00:05The guest bedroom build ramps up.
00:08Away you go.
00:09How you doing mate?
00:10Easy as.
00:11Out for the boys.
00:12Oh, they've done it again.
00:15Last week's main en suite continues to cause headaches.
00:18Mate, seriously bro.
00:21And our Blockheads take to the seas to win one of the biggest challenge prizes in Block
00:29history.
00:30It is my bar crusher, isn't it?
00:35No it's not.
00:39It is my bar crusher.
00:41Have a look at Ricky.
00:42I feel a bit crazy mate, I don't think I've been this nervous in my life.
00:53Morning Ricky.
01:00Morning.
01:03Morning.
01:06Morning everybody.
01:11We've got a few things going on this morning.
01:23We'll have the crane running again up the back of three there.
01:27If you're in or around the crane, please make sure you've got appropriate PPE on.
01:31Obviously today's the last day of Power Tools before a very long weekend.
01:34We're going to work with you as much as we can today, but tomorrow there are no trades
01:39on site.
01:40So have a good crack today and have a good day.
01:43Enjoy.
01:50Good morning, how are you?
01:51Good, how are you?
01:52I walked into my cafe this morning to get my hot milk.
01:56Who orders hot milk?
01:58I do.
01:59I'm sorry, but you're the only person out of the 250 inducted people on this site that
02:05drink hot milk.
02:07I walked into my cafe to order my hot milk.
02:10Did you just say I walked into my cafe and ordered my standard order?
02:14Don't tell everyone you drink hot milk.
02:19I walked into my cafe and I ordered my hot milk.
02:21Christian, spaghetti and milk.
02:24Oh, and a hot milk for Mimi, she's such a child.
02:27Kitchen.
02:28And in my peripherals I just see this spinning lady.
02:31Oh, what is that?
02:33I've got no idea.
02:37Sorry.
02:38I see a lady, but it was actually a mannequin.
02:45Oh, it's Gucci.
02:46Oh, yeah?
02:47Yeah.
02:48All right, I'll take it.
02:49I have an eye.
02:51I can spot a really nice design from a mile away and so did you, right?
02:58It's ugly.
03:01I actually don't mind it's grown on me knowing that it's Gucci.
03:03I'm like, I kind of like it.
03:06Do you reckon it screams White Lotus?
03:08How does White Lotus theme song go?
03:15The body's very out of proportion.
03:17The legs just...
03:19It's not about the mannequin, it's about the dress.
03:21Look, it's not my style.
03:23I don't want that for myself, but I want it for my house.
03:27Maybe someone gets to win that.
03:30Thank you, guys.
03:31Bye, Christian.
03:32Have a lovely day.
03:33I'll see you very shortly.
03:35How do you always get in first?
03:37He literally runs in.
03:38Did you not see him?
03:43Early this morning in house three,
03:45the plasters are getting started in the guest bedroom
03:48while Ricky tucks into breakfast before a big day.
03:51Morning.
03:52What's for breakfast this morning, mate?
03:55A mixture of peanut butter, granola and milk.
04:00And I'm trying to eat it with a fork.
04:02It's good to start your day doing something slightly difficult
04:05because it trains your brain to prepare yourself for the day ahead
04:08and that's why I chose the fork.
04:10You've just got to roll the punches sometimes
04:12and there wasn't a spoon available,
04:14so a fork of muesli it was.
04:17Starting your day with doing something easy
04:19is not going to help your day.
04:21Start with a challenge.
04:23Have a cold shower, eat muesli with a fork.
04:26Or try and finish two rooms in one week.
04:30That's right, as well as this week's guest bedroom,
04:33Ricky and Hayden are also attempting to complete the main en suite
04:37they failed to finish last week.
04:39There's no reason why we can't finish two rooms this week.
04:42Two rooms, one week.
04:43I think it's a good idea that we smash it out.
04:45I think the judges will appreciate that we haven't laid down
04:48and forgotten about it.
04:49I think most importantly is we finally get this room waterproof signed off
04:53so we can move on and start fitting out the en suite.
04:56Spot on.
04:58But the waterproofer must finish his work
05:00around the water stop in the shower
05:02and have it approved before work in the en suite can continue.
05:07The water stop in a shower is the metal strip around the perimeter
05:11that stops water seeping out.
05:13And it's crucial it's installed properly
05:15and waterproofed before tiling a bathroom.
05:18Not too much, yeah, we just want to make sure it dries quick.
05:21We failed our first inspection
05:22because he forgot to put in the door water stop,
05:25so he forgot to waterproof that in.
05:27So we weren't able to get that waterproofing ticked off yesterday
05:30which meant rolled into today.
05:33Do you need anything bro?
05:34Do you want me to grab you the tanking?
05:35Do you need bandage for that?
05:37I'm sick of going past that room and having it not done so
05:40after today we'll be on par.
05:49Water's pigeon, be careful.
05:51Jesse!
05:52We're going to have to move.
05:53Yeah, well stop!
05:54That doesn't mean you can't run them over, you idiot.
05:56They will move.
05:57Well they're not moving, are they?
05:58See, they've moved, they've moved, they're gone.
06:09Hey Greg, how you going?
06:10Good morning, how are you?
06:11Good, how are you?
06:12Excellent.
06:13That's good.
06:14We are doing a DIY project for our bedroom this week, our kids' bedroom.
06:19So we're going to build our own desk.
06:21Let's head down to our famous colour wall.
06:23Perfect.
06:24This year, each team gets $5,000 in cash from Mitre 10
06:28to spend on a DIY project.
06:30And if they do it right the first time, they'll get another $5,000 cash.
06:35Hey Fred, how's it looking?
06:37Looking like we're getting there.
06:39Last week, Kylie and Brad were the first team to do a DIY project
06:42in their main ensuite.
06:44Do I use power tools?
06:45No.
06:46Oh!
06:48And this week, Jesse and Paige are having a crack.
06:51So we just need all the materials for that to help us get started really.
06:54Get everything we need to get the job done right the first time.
06:56That's it.
06:57Yes.
06:58We do have a big space in our bedroom,
06:59and we were going to put a really beautiful desk in there.
07:02Obviously lots of different sizes in the MDF.
07:04Very versatile product.
07:05A couple of quick tips on this stuff.
07:07Easy to cut using a fine blade.
07:09It'll cut nice and easily.
07:11As you can see, it's got a great finish,
07:12so when we get to painting it, you're going to want to prime and paint.
07:18And we're going a pretty cherry blush pink,
07:20which is very different for us, but we're going for it,
07:23so we're going to have a bit of fun with this room.
07:25If you can't do it in a kid's room, where can you do it?
07:29Voila!
07:30That looks like cherry blush to me.
07:32Looks beautiful.
07:33Thanks so much for today, Craig.
07:34Thanks, Craig.
07:35Thank you, all the best.
07:36Can't wait to see the finished product.
07:37We'll send you some pictures.
07:38Cheers, Craig.
07:39Cheers.
07:40Thanks, guys.
07:41Yeah, I'm actually excited to get started.
07:42Yeah.
07:43I'm really excited.
07:44It's going to be a great team effort.
07:47I haven't been for a walk for ages.
07:49I know.
07:50You should try and start getting up earlier and do it.
07:54You're the last one up every day.
07:56It's so funny.
08:00You don't think I'm doing enough.
08:02You can tell me.
08:09Oh, here's my stuff.
08:10Here's Craig now.
08:11Hey, Craig.
08:12Hi.
08:13How you going?
08:15You can just sleep all day if you need to.
08:18Certainly can.
08:20I think we work well together as a team.
08:22We know our strengths.
08:23Yeah.
08:24We know how to communicate with each other.
08:27What do you need me to do for this project?
08:29Nothing at the moment.
08:30I have to have a part in this too.
08:32Yeah, I know that.
08:33So don't steamroll ahead without me.
08:34Yeah, these intricate cuts, I will do.
08:36Yeah, no worries.
08:37All right.
08:38Love you.
08:39Love you too.
08:45Over in house four,
08:47everything is on track in this week's bedroom.
08:50So the plaster is back today
08:52to set the bulkhead above the cabinetry
08:55so we can get that drying before we sand it.
08:57We're in a pretty good spot.
08:59We're not going to need power tools really after today.
09:02I want to be painting tomorrow, definitely.
09:04I think that's achievable.
09:06The build may be progressing,
09:08but for Carly and Brad, the bedroom style is struggling.
09:12Morning, gang.
09:13Morning, Dan.
09:15You're, like, really excited.
09:17I'm worried.
09:18Are you okay?
09:19I'm all right.
09:20Are you guys all okay?
09:22Your energy's at 1,000 and I'm at, like, 10.
09:25This week we're doing a kid's bedroom,
09:28which I'm not excited about at all.
09:31The room is looking great at the moment.
09:33Everything I'm putting in, I'm kind of just throwing it in there.
09:36Second guessing.
09:37Yeah.
09:38I wanted to do sort of like an older teen slash adult room.
09:42And then after Marty and Alice came through,
09:44they suggested it needed to have multiple beds
09:47or more than just putting in a double.
09:49If you can, consider having bunks
09:51or having the ability to sleep with two king singles.
09:55Just back yourself.
09:56I'm not backing myself, though, cos I'm doing a kid's room.
09:59I've got the bed, and I'm actually happy with the bed.
10:02It'll shine really nicely.
10:03We're doing some wood panelling, like a Wayne Scotting.
10:07We're going to do that on one wall.
10:09Neutral rug.
10:10I'm trying to add, like, a little kid's teepee
10:12so there's, like, a little play area for them.
10:14But then everything else I'm trying to decide,
10:17I'm sort of just throwing stuff in there just for the sake of it.
10:20Yeah, I don't think the judges are going to like what I'm placing.
10:23But if they can look past that
10:24and they can see visually everything else,
10:26I'm really hoping that that stands out to them.
10:29Look, no, I'm just down in the dumps because I'm...
10:34..not sure.
10:35Not sure about... Styling?
10:37Yeah.
10:38Just...
10:39Mmm.
10:40..hoping for the best.
10:41It'll be OK, love.
10:42Yeah, I can't help you there.
10:44Sorry.
10:48Although foreman Dan's unable to help Kylie with styling,
10:51Dan does help me manage all the electricians
10:54that I'm supplying to the block this year.
10:58Dan's returned to House 4 with Tim, our head electrician,
11:01to let Brad know he can join the team of Sparkies.
11:04Brad, how are you, mate?
11:05Good, Dan, you?
11:06So, you were a very organised man before the show,
11:09went into Energy Safe Victoria to apply for a licence?
11:12Yeah, well, it's better to have it and not need it
11:14than need it and not have it.
11:16As you might know, Brad is a double threat.
11:19He's a Sparkie and a plumber from Queensland.
11:22But that doesn't mean he can do electrical work in Victoria.
11:25That's all about to change.
11:27Well, the good news has come through, hasn't it, Timmy?
11:29It's come through.
11:30They've granted you a temp licence in Victoria.
11:32Perfect.
11:33I've added you as a worker to me.
11:35So you're good to go.
11:37Perfect.
11:38As of today, I've had my interstate licence approved by Summit
11:43so I can actually move some stuff around if I want to.
11:46It's not any kind of boost financially, but...
11:50But it is.
11:51But I can...
11:52Because I'll now hire Brad out to the other houses
11:54when they need a seaky little bit of electrical done
11:57when the boys have left site.
11:59Well done, mate. Congrats.
12:01Well, I think you're going to be part of the team.
12:03I know. Part of the team.
12:04There you go.
12:05Yeah, so I'm pimping Brad out.
12:12Lockbox is up for grabs.
12:15What have you got to offer?
12:19I'll get me some gold teeth.
12:21Yeah, I'll pimp you out.
12:26Back in House 3, this week's guest bedroom seems to be on track.
12:31Mark, Ricky and Hayden have also been focused
12:34on last week's main ensuite,
12:36the room that caused the most headaches for the boys so far.
12:39We've hit worst-case scenario.
12:41What's that?
12:43It's not even sticking to the poly, so we have to rip it all up.
12:46What a nightmare.
12:47You're not going to finish this week. You're out of the running.
12:50But today they're hoping to get the waterproofing ticked off
12:53and finally get approval to begin tiling.
12:56We failed our first inspection
12:58because the water stopper wasn't waterproofed in.
13:01Hayden!
13:02Hello, mate.
13:03How are you, man?
13:04Just get up.
13:05And then we had an inspection by Hayden from 9 and 6 and Dan,
13:09cos we're getting washed like hawks now
13:11to make sure our waterproofing doesn't get stuffed up again.
13:15Still looks wet.
13:19Hang on.
13:20But, mate, this...
13:21Oh, they've done it again.
13:24Yeah, we found out quite quickly
13:26that it was another waterproofing disaster.
13:28I mean, it's just... it's just so thick.
13:31And it hasn't stuck.
13:32Not to the angle either.
13:33For f***'s sake.
13:35No bandage.
13:36No. Pull it out.
13:37Done again.
13:38They've done it again, mate.
13:39Yeah, yeah.
13:40Like, just, they don't get it.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Time to get a new crew in, man.
13:43Yeah.
13:46We don't all eat music with a fork, mate.
13:49I had my heart set on just finishing this...
13:52on Sweat this week.
13:54And the minute that 8-0 was like,
13:57mate, that water stock in the shower is just...
14:00that's got to go.
14:01I knew we were stuffed.
14:03Like...
14:04Yeah, it was devastating.
14:06Cos I knew at that moment
14:07that there was no Thailand happening this week.
14:10Seriously.
14:11This isn't f***ing enjoyable.
14:14At all.
14:16It may be guest bedroom week,
14:18but in House 3, Ricky and Hayden
14:20have failed yet another inspection
14:22in the room they were supposed to finish last week,
14:25the main en-suite.
14:27Poor them.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Done again.
14:30Just, they don't get it.
14:31Yeah.
14:32Mate.
14:33Seriously, bro.
14:34Yeah, devastating.
14:35The waterproofing again.
14:36Despite the short wake,
14:37I actually really enjoyed it.
14:38Yeah.
14:39Yeah.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Yeah.
14:43The waterproofing again.
14:44Despite the short wake,
14:45I actually really thought
14:46we were going to be able to smash out
14:48the two rooms.
14:49And to be honest,
14:50if it wasn't for a couple of mistakes by the waterproofers,
14:53we probably would have got that done.
14:55But it's cost of money and our time and our energy.
14:59Brutal.
15:00Yeah, it's brutal.
15:02And after all the mistakes made,
15:04the waterproofers been given his marching orders.
15:07So we've just sent the waterproofers
15:08home in House 3's bathroom.
15:10The water stock that they've installed is incorrect.
15:12This is their second or third attempt of waterproofing this room.
15:16So now we're just going to get the Ardex rep, who's also the Dunlop rep, to come out and
15:20show them how it's done.
15:21And that'll be next week, unfortunately.
15:22Still lack of eye for detail, mate, you know, it's taking your time and doing things properly,
15:27I think.
15:28Yeah.
15:29Yeah.
15:30You know, so I think, like, they're good tilers.
15:31But if you've got to redo waterproofing and keep ripping it out, I don't know how good
15:36that actually is.
15:37It's obviously not going to happen this week now.
15:40The aim is to not throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we will push on and we'll
15:46aim to get it complete next week.
15:49You're a dad, mate.
15:50I don't think you should talk about throwing babies.
15:52Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, it's the same.
15:56Okay.
15:57I'm just saying.
15:58Sorry.
15:59I'm just saying.
16:00Don't throw babies.
16:01With the long weekend fast approaching, it's time for Shelly and I to drop in and announce
16:11the big prizes on offer this week.
16:14Hello.
16:15Hello.
16:16How are you?
16:17Made yourself at home down there on the floor.
16:21Scotty and Shelly came around and all I could see was these bling earrings on Shelly's ears.
16:29And they were Gucci earrings.
16:31If you noticed my beautiful earrings, I'm sure you noticed my gorgeous frock.
16:34Yes.
16:35Is that yours?
16:36Well, I had my kinsman consult.
16:38And this year, our beautiful friends are donating the earrings and the Gucci dress as a prize,
16:45$10,000 worth of fashion, I might add, plus a Hayfley upgrade for your main wardrobes.
16:53So this is to hang in your wardrobe.
16:57And everyone else is just as surprised when Shelly and I let them know about this week's
17:01prize.
17:02Oh, we have diamonds.
17:05We do.
17:07My friends at kinsman and I did some online shopping and we have bought this magnificent
17:12Gucci outfit, Gucci earrings, $10,000 worth of fashion.
17:17You also get a Hayfley wardrobe upgrade.
17:21So this will go in your main walk-in.
17:24Right.
17:25Okay.
17:26That's for the winner of this week.
17:27That's for the winner of this week.
17:28Oh.
17:29We have to win.
17:30That's why this week is very important.
17:31And I'm glad it's a kid's room because I love this room.
17:34And I know you fell off the wagon last week.
17:36Yes.
17:37Majorly.
17:38Last week, we did really badly.
17:41You've got the ability to really turn it up a notch for one of the most valuable rooms
17:48in a campaign.
17:50And you've missed the mark.
17:53And I feel like we have a lot to redeem.
17:57And a shame for you guys.
17:58Yeah.
17:59But two wins.
18:00That's okay.
18:01It's a long road.
18:02It's all right.
18:03You're coming back with vengeance this week, obviously.
18:04Yes.
18:05Yes?
18:06I had a bit of self-doubt though, especially after that.
18:08But I feel like now that everything's here, I'm like, I think we have a chance.
18:16Christian and Mimi are creating a kid's bedroom.
18:18They'll have twin beds with trundles bursting with toys and a rainbow decal behind a feature
18:25cloud-shaped bedhead.
18:26Can you imagine when or if you decide to have a family, you might take a holiday on Phillip
18:30Island and rent out this house and your kids will stay in this room?
18:34Oh, yeah.
18:35I have separation anxiety already just knowing that I have to leave this house.
18:38Because you're so attached to it, the emotional connection you have to every room, the planning
18:43and all the work.
18:45I feel like our blood, sweat and tears are in every single room.
18:48And I will have withdrawals after we leave.
18:51It'll be bad.
18:52I will, I don't know, find a place to stay and hide like a troll.
18:56So we're going for a win this week.
18:59Yes.
19:00Yes.
19:01Fingers crossed.
19:02Back on the wagon.
19:03Back on the wagon.
19:04That's it.
19:05Don't drop the ball over the line.
19:06No.
19:07Good luck.
19:08$30,000 at stake.
19:09I think the prize for this week is ginormous.
19:11I think master bedrooms win the block.
19:15I do believe that.
19:17So if you've got those upgrades and you've got a Gucci dress and Gucci earrings, it's
19:21going to really amp up that space.
19:25So we want to win it.
19:28Coming up, painting begins early this week.
19:31Courtney, you might want to come in and see this.
19:34I was thud dropping while I was sanding.
19:37Before a massive challenge.
19:38I think you boys need a good fishing day out after last week in Arden.
19:42Oh, yeah.
19:43With a huge prize.
19:45Have a look at Ricky.
19:46I've never wanted something more in my life.
19:49That page is a fish out of water.
19:51We're just ruining the fish's day.
20:09Which contestants do you think are creating a winning room this week?
20:13To cast your vote, all you have to do is head to the block website now.
20:17And while you're there, don't forget to check out all of our amazing room galleries.
20:30It's a busy afternoon on Phillip Island.
20:33With our teams working hard in their guest bedrooms the day before a long weekend.
20:41There's DIY desk building in house one.
20:44You in that corner?
20:45Yeah.
20:46Five minute shopping in town.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Yep.
20:50Perfect.
20:51Feature art deliveries on site.
20:52Wow.
20:53Look at this.
20:54There you go.
20:55Been waiting for this one.
20:56That's fantastic.
20:57That looks amazing.
20:58And a spray gun demo at house four.
21:00Increase your pressure as you feel you need to.
21:03And then just away you go.
21:04Yeah.
21:05Good, mate.
21:06Easy as.
21:07I was keen for this the whole time.
21:08Hello.
21:09Firstly, congratulations.
21:11It must feel like a century ago, but now that you've got one, just keep them coming, I say.
21:22Hopefully.
21:23I hope so, yeah.
21:24That's the goal.
21:25So what are you calling this room?
21:26This is going to be a little girl's room.
21:28So this is going to be a kid's room.
21:31Yes.
21:32Jessie and Paige's girls' bedroom will have twin beds, decorative wall panelling, their
21:37pink desk, and the only walk-in robe in any room this week.
21:41And the wallpaper is very neutral.
21:43The only thing that we are going out on a little bit of a limb is painting this pink.
21:49Are you both working on this?
21:50Yes.
21:51Yeah, this is our Mitre 10 DIY project.
21:52Oh, is it?
21:53It's fantastic.
21:54Yeah, we actually want to put two more shelves there.
21:56Yeah.
21:57We just ran out of time today.
21:58And the fact that you've done this yourselves, it's a DIY project, you've done it, guess
22:02what?
22:03I've got something for you.
22:04What?
22:05What's that?
22:06It's a very special hat for you.
22:08Aww.
22:09Aww.
22:10From Mitre 10.
22:11Because they like it when you do the job right the first time.
22:14There's your hat.
22:15Take it.
22:16Thank you very much.
22:17Aww.
22:18I'll take that.
22:19$5,000.
22:21$5,000.
22:22You have the hat, I'll have the cash.
22:23Thank you very much.
22:24Thank you, Mitre 10.
22:25So I get the hat.
22:26I get the cash.
22:27She got the $5,000 cash from Mitre 10, so how good's that?
22:30Thank you, Mitre 10.
22:31I'm pretty stoked for the hat.
22:32Yeah.
22:33It's got my name on it.
22:34It's going to make him happy.
22:35The sun goes down, the stars come out, and all that counts is here and now.
22:45The day ended, and all trade's gone for a long weekend.
22:50Our teams have a free run tonight to paint in their guest bedrooms.
22:53Do you think we can win again?
22:55Yep.
22:56Tonight we need to sand and paint.
22:59And we've got all of tomorrow.
23:01Yeah, we've got all of tomorrow.
23:02Why paint in the dark when you can paint during the day and have a better quality product?
23:06It's true.
23:07Yeah, unfortunately the fire strip's just finished.
23:10It's still wet, so there'll be no painting tonight, which is a bit of a suck.
23:17Painting is going to be the next two and a half days, really, and that shows how big
23:23it is, really.
23:24The sun goes down, the stars come out.
23:28We want to get it done tonight, only because Saturday we've got flooring, we've got curtains.
23:32Like, we don't want to paint around any of that stuff.
23:38Courtney, you might want to come in and see this.
23:40I was slut-dropping while I was sanding.
23:42Oh my god, don't do that, it's creepy.
23:44That's creepy.
23:57It's a public holiday on the block, with nothing but painting in front of our blockheads today.
24:03So I'm taking the chance to get off site, do what I do on a day off on Phillip Island.
24:16Go fishing.
24:32Well, mate, I'm very excited about being on this waterway for the first time, and I'm
24:37excited to have you, Lee, one of the world's greatest fishermen.
24:40Yeah, not like it.
24:41And Scott, mate, from Bar Crusher.
24:43We're on an island, we thought we'd do something different, and Bar Crusher, good enough to
24:47come on board and give us this magnificent six metre boat.
24:51Brand spanker, this is the first time it's actually been in the water.
24:54Let's dirty it up.
24:55Let's get it dirty.
25:00That's a whiting.
25:01Whiting, alright.
25:02Oh, look at that, Scott.
25:04Oh.
25:05I'll trade you.
25:07That's a big one.
25:09He's decent.
25:12Got him.
25:13He's slippy.
25:16This is way more fun than painting bedrooms, so I've asked Shelly to gather the troops
25:20and join in.
25:22I think you boys need a good fishing day out after the last week and a half.
25:25Oh, yeah.
25:27Yeah, we're wearing our best active wear today.
25:31Big flops, tight pants, ready for anything.
25:42That looks nice, Scotty.
25:47Don't mind the call time, mate.
25:48It's fine.
25:50What would you do if that was our boat?
25:52I'd love that boat.
25:54Okay, let's go, boys.
25:55Beautiful.
25:56Oh, he's got a catch bag with him.
25:57Oh, what's he got here?
25:58Right.
26:00That was an entrance.
26:03I have been fishing today with my mates, Lee Rayner, expert fisherman.
26:09Hey, mate.
26:10How's it going, Lee?
26:11And Scott from Bar Crusher.
26:13G'day, Scotty.
26:14G'day, g'day.
26:16Let me show you this.
26:18This is fair dinkum.
26:20This is the results of our day.
26:23Jeez.
26:24They are fat.
26:25What's the biggest one in there?
26:27I think the biggest one there, Lee, what do you reckon?
26:30460, 470.
26:31Wow.
26:32We had a fantastic day.
26:33Now, when you come to Phillip Island, you have got to go fishing,
26:37because that's what everybody does.
26:39So I thought that I'd give you a day off the block
26:42and get you on the water and go for a fish.
26:46Very nice.
26:48All right, well, we are all going to head out with New Haven Fishing Charters.
26:51Kate and Tom will be our guides.
26:53They're going to take us to the best spots.
26:56And then we're going to come back here to the Angler's Cub
26:58and do a combined weigh-in.
27:01Ooh, wow, wow.
27:03Does that sound good?
27:04It sounds fantastic.
27:05Have we forgotten something, though, Shel?
27:07Oh, the prize.
27:08The prize.
27:09What is the prize?
27:11I wonder what the prize is.
27:14A bar crusher.
27:15It's a doozy, Shel.
27:16It's one of the biggest prizes ever, if not the biggest prize.
27:20What have you got?
27:21Oh, stop it.
27:22It's a corker.
27:23It's a bar crusher.
27:24Stop it.
27:26It is my bar crusher over there.
27:30No, it's not.
27:33No way!
27:38It is my bar crusher.
27:40Have a look at Ricky.
27:41Where are you going?
27:43No, it's not.
27:45The prize at stake here is $100,000 of just pure fishing arsenal.
27:55Now, the bar crusher.
27:58Magnificent vessel.
28:02It's an all-rounder.
28:03Are you serious?
28:05The 615C, built in Australia, right here in Melbourne.
28:11Valued at over $100,000.
28:14Is he being serious?
28:15Are you serious?
28:16That could be our bar crusher.
28:17Don't.
28:18In a few hours' time.
28:20It's literally, like, before we came on the show, my cousin goes,
28:23you have to go on this show and you have to win this show
28:25so we can buy a bar crusher.
28:27That, oh, I'm speechless.
28:33All right, off you go.
28:34Get on the boat.
28:35Let's go this way.
28:40I feel a bit crazy, mate.
28:41I don't think I've been this nervous in my life.
28:49Coming up.
28:50We're fishing.
28:51The challenge tests our team's skills.
28:55Calm down, calm down, calm down.
28:56And their stomachs.
28:57It's horrible.
28:58Fishing's kind of gross.
29:00But when the heat gets turned up, there's a few fish out of water.
29:04Me and H, at home, we cook barbecues and that's it.
29:08I was actually very proud of Mimi because she is not...
29:11I have no knife skills.
29:12What do we do with the tentacles?
29:15Where does she work?
29:16At a restaurant.
29:17And tummies churn some more.
29:21I was cutting it up.
29:23I may have been dry reaching.
29:35In today's challenge, our teams are out to catch the two biggest fish
29:39to win a bar crusher boat worth over $100,000.
29:44We're fishing.
29:45I don't even know what a bar crusher is, but I want it.
29:47Yeah, I want it.
29:48I feel a bit crazy, mate.
29:49I don't think I've been this nervous in my life.
29:51Most of the time, the people with no idea
29:53somehow manage to get the best fish.
29:55I don't know how it works.
29:57Jessie and Paige, who have never fished,
29:59they're probably our biggest conks.
30:01I've seen people who have never fished in their lives
30:04catch some of the bigger fish
30:05while I'm standing there like an idiot,
30:07catching nothing and I'm teaching them how to put bait on a hook.
30:10So firstly, I'll just run you through what we're using for bait.
30:12We're targeting King George whiting.
30:14So if you do want to use a yabby, grab one.
30:17Careful of the claw.
30:18They will nip and it does kind of hurt.
30:20And you're just going to thread it through.
30:22I have never, ever had a desire to fish.
30:27I've actively had the opposite of a desire to fish.
30:33I thread it through to roughly about the head.
30:36That's horrible.
30:38That's horrible.
30:40Fishing's kind of gross.
30:44OK, you got your red hot tips?
30:46Yep.
30:47So, rods in, let's get fishing.
30:49Bait me up, baby.
30:51How many people do you reckon have fished for a bar crusher?
30:54I don't know, not many.
30:55Not many, eh?
30:56Our teams are out to reel in a big haul,
30:59but will only be able to submit their two biggest fish for the weigh-in.
31:04No, I don't want a fish to bite my thing.
31:07Oh, I got one.
31:08Do you?
31:09Up over your head.
31:10It's a regular.
31:12Jessie got the first one.
31:14As soon as he got a fish, I was like, we're good.
31:17All right, we're in.
31:18We've got 27 centimetres.
31:20Nice work.
31:21He's just in.
31:22Hey!
31:23Hey!
31:24There we go.
31:25Yes.
31:26Another beautiful whiting.
31:27Oh, he knows what he's doing.
31:29We are fishing people.
31:30So I love fishing.
31:32Like me and my cousin Adam are in a boat.
31:34Mimi!
31:35Stop!
31:36Mimi, come down, come down, come down, come down.
31:38Ah!
31:39Come down.
31:40I've caught two toadfish.
31:41Get it over, get it over.
31:42We've got a pocket pinkie.
31:44Pocket pinkie.
31:45Does it count?
31:46It does count.
31:47It's an eligible species, but too small.
31:48Too small.
31:49Too small.
31:50You get in there.
31:51He's going back.
31:52I should have put everything that went on that rod in the thing
31:55and weighed it.
31:56Nice.
31:57Let's get him in the boat.
31:58Ah!
31:59Oh!
32:00Yeah, Heidi.
32:01Yeah, the boys.
32:02Come on.
32:03Good work, dude.
32:04Surprisingly, fish were biting on our rods.
32:07Rick's on.
32:09Ricky's on.
32:10Ricky.
32:11Yes.
32:12So we were reeling them in.
32:14We're actually smashing it.
32:15Sounds promising, Grant.
32:17Come on, Grant.
32:18Get them.
32:19Yes, yes, yes.
32:21Oh, these are the yucky ones.
32:23These are the yucky fish.
32:24That's OK.
32:25They're fat.
32:26Get the fat ones.
32:29Holding the rod, doing nothing.
32:32Literally nothing.
32:33Good times, eh?
32:35I have never fished in my life.
32:37I'm just wallowing in embarrassment.
32:40And then Shelly come and gave me some encouraging advice.
32:43Have you still got bait on the end?
32:45I don't care.
32:46Well, you're not going to get a bite if you don't have any bait.
32:48She said, at least if you're just holding a fishing rod,
32:51you could potentially get the winning fish.
32:54So I was like, OK, Shelly.
32:55And then she kept standing beside me, and I hooked a fish.
32:58That's beautiful, Wally.
32:59Yes, Carly.
33:00Yes, Carly.
33:01That's a big one.
33:02Carly.
33:03Carly.
33:04Oh, God.
33:05Come on, Carly.
33:06It's not over.
33:08It's not over.
33:10So I was like, stay standing next to me.
33:12I might keep.
33:13She's good luck.
33:14So she could keep standing next to me.
33:16OK, so if we change bait, we put our thing.
33:19Ah.
33:20Ah.
33:21It was full on.
33:22It was full on.
33:23And then when Hayden caught a fish and it fell on the floor
33:26and started flopping at my feet.
33:28Oh.
33:29Watch out, Paige.
33:30Ah.
33:31No, no, no.
33:32Please, please, please, please.
33:33I don't want it.
33:34Please.
33:35I couldn't deal with the flopping.
33:36I didn't want to, like, we're just ruining this fish's day.
33:41And that is it.
33:42Fishing tool's down.
33:43Thank you all very much.
33:45Tom, let's head home.
33:46Time for the weigh-in.
33:47Well done, everyone.
33:48Well done.
33:49Happy fishing.
33:52MUSIC
33:57Yeah, it was the best I've been fishing.
33:59Yeah.
34:00Most tense fishing trip of all time, for sure.
34:05Welcome back, gang.
34:06How did you go?
34:07Was it a good day?
34:08Yeah.
34:09Awesome day.
34:10Out on the water, how was it, Cheryl?
34:11Can I tell you, I don't think I've seen more stressed people
34:14during the challenge.
34:16It was intense.
34:18Very intense.
34:20It was fun.
34:21I had a good time.
34:22I heard there was a few questions asked.
34:24Yeah, there was, about, obviously, the Bar Crusher 615C
34:29and whether you get to take it home.
34:33Of course you get to take it home, to the block.
34:37It's that simple.
34:40I was actually relieved.
34:41Yeah, a whole lot of pressure and stress.
34:43Because it meant that I wasn't going to lose the Bar Crusher
34:45if we didn't catch the biggest fish that day.
34:48But you're selling your home with a Bar Crusher in the driveway.
34:51It's a holiday home.
34:52That puts you above your neighbours, surely.
34:55OK.
34:56All right.
34:57Let me introduce you to Chris and Alex,
34:59our officials for the weigh-in.
35:02The Bar Crusher.
35:03615C.
35:04We'll go to the team that have the two biggest fish by weight.
35:08Chris, can I ask, this is the way you do all weigh-in?
35:11So we're doing this the proper way.
35:12The proper way, all official.
35:14Oh, it's tiny.
35:15It's a little baby.
35:19Definitely our tiny fish is not getting us the win.
35:22That's one.
35:24That's a nice pilchard, that one.
35:25It was good.
35:29OK, house one is done.
35:31House number two.
35:32Here we have a yucca.
35:38She's the girl.
35:45Here we go.
35:46So here we have another different type of fish.
35:49A leatherjacket.
35:55That's not alive, mate.
35:59All right.
36:00Down to house number four.
36:04Another two nice King George whiting.
36:06Both caught by Kylie.
36:08Kylie.
36:09Kylie's definitely put herself and Brad in a good place
36:13to win that Bar Crusher.
36:14No worries.
36:15They're probably our biggest competition.
36:17Kylie, that's huge.
36:18And here we have two different species.
36:22And a King George whiting.
36:26All right, just relax now.
36:27We've got to add it up.
36:28The babies.
36:29The little babies.
36:32That's two.
36:35Oh!
36:36Look out.
36:37That was three.
36:41Oh!
36:42Oh!
36:45Brad and Kylie are going to be the challenge queen and king.
36:47No, it's already yes and no.
36:58So the heaviest fish goes to house three.
37:06We won.
37:07We won.
37:08We caught the biggest fish.
37:09Significantly.
37:10We had the biggest fish.
37:11At least 100 grams.
37:12Yeah.
37:13It was slightly concerning, though,
37:14because it was a bit easy.
37:17Just hold your applause.
37:20You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?
37:22Oh.
37:23The numbers went on the blackboard way too quick
37:26and way too easily.
37:27It did almost feel like too easy of a win.
37:29And then, sure enough, Scottie dropped the bomb.
37:42So the heaviest fish goes to house three.
37:47The numbers went on the blackboard way too quick
37:50and way too easily.
37:51It did almost feel like too easy of a win.
37:54And then, sure enough, Scottie dropped the bomb.
37:56You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?
37:58Oh.
37:59Well, it's a bar crusher worth over $100,000.
38:03So, Shell and I thought we would decide the winner
38:07a little bit differently, Shell.
38:09Well, how about a good old-fashioned cook-up?
38:12Oh!
38:13What do you think?
38:14You guys are going to clean and cook your catch
38:18and serve it up.
38:19This is going to be a blind tasting.
38:21We are going to have no idea who cooked what meal.
38:25We will come up with a meal that we liked the best
38:28and that team will take home the bar crusher.
38:33Oh, but hang on.
38:34We couldn't possibly do a fishing challenge without this.
38:36Oh, yeah, boys.
38:38No.
38:39You did win this, too.
38:40Aw!
38:50There you go, Jen.
38:51Thanks, Shell.
38:53Tommy Trout.
38:54Oh, fantastic.
38:59Um...
39:05Boys, you're all out of drinks.
39:06Boys, you'll also take home a thousand bucks in cash
39:11Hopefully the bar crusher as well. Everybody's got a chance now. Let's go
39:21First challenge we win and we win nothing nothing
39:27Thousand bucks
39:37Oh utensils to cook with that I've never seen before what are you gonna do with all this Corny?
39:48Carly I've already got one. Thank you. I'll show you go on
39:53We love to cook together and we love to be in the kitchen and have a fun time together making food
39:58So we're like it's gonna be fun. We can just turn this into a bit of
40:03Comfort of home. It was nice and it's like one of my favorite dishes
40:07we're doing a
40:08Fish and puppy. Oh, I'm gonna like do a little Mediterranean twist on it some capers chili garlic olives
40:17How many more olives do you think you want? I'm quite a bit. I
40:22Don't even have a garlic crusher
40:24garlic crusher or bar crusher
40:28I have neither
40:29We decided we were going to do
40:32fish in a butter lemon and garlic sauce with mashed potato and
40:37Simple but very flavorsome. It would say it'd be something that any time I go to a restaurant. I would pick exactly that
40:43Should we get it?
40:46Did you have some I've already got bang, but I've got potatoes in the oven because they take the longest we
40:52Decided to do a baked King George riding with lemon garlic salt pepper
40:58Parsley and a side salad. What if someone takes up potato?
41:07For the fish we're gonna go inspired by a recent Greek holiday and do Mediterranean
41:13modern Mediterranean modern Mediterranean, so we're gonna do like a
41:17barbecue grilled
41:19fish
41:21Maltese capsicum salsa on the side so good and some hand-cut potato fries
41:26if someone else is doing a Maltese capsicum dip and
41:29Doing there a Maltese capsicum dip
41:32I
41:33Basically mean H at home. We cook
41:37Barbecues and that's it. Everything else is out of Tupperware containers
41:41So we'd be kidding ourselves if we did anything but fish and chips
41:46I think the fish and chips will provide us with enough
41:50Ways that we can completely destroy this meal as it is. So anything outside that would be just stupid
41:58I can't believe it another fish knife
42:02This one no, they're tongues I
42:06Actually got quite into it
42:09Means you actually doing a really good job with the thing. I should be a fish scaler
42:13I was actually very proud of Mimi because she is not I have no knife skills
42:17Yeah, she's not comfortable with any knives in her hand. She's not comfortable in a kitchen
42:23What do we do with the tentacles?
42:26Tentacles no, there's no tentacles on a fish. You know what? I mean the scales
42:31No, the top part and the mohawk part says like prepping says like cutting says like cooking doesn't like cleaning. Is it inking?
42:39No, there's no ink in a fish Mimi. Where does she work at a restaurant?
42:46Hi, do you want a red wine?
42:51Mimi you're over it. We're cooking. We're painting tonight. No, no drinking your bed
43:01It's quite nice
43:03Did you think that straight out of the bottle on camera?
43:06This is gonna butcher it. I
43:08was taking this fish that still had eyes and a head and
43:14Organs inside and I was cutting it up. So I
43:19May have been dry reaching
43:25Come on stop it. Don't tell me to come on doing it
43:29It was a lot for me
43:37Stop saying come on you do it then you doing amazing. Just stop saying that to me. Okay, just stop it
43:43Just saying how you're all good. Just saying what just saying you're doing really well. I don't care
43:49And we all said no tweezers. So I was pulling the bones out with my teeth with raw fish
43:54Were you yep?
43:58Yeah
44:02Why were you doing that I do the bones out can't fade bones in a fish
44:16Chips will take you know, I 50 minutes 55 minutes. Yeah
44:21The excess water there. You got 45 minutes to cook those chips this scent. Yeah
44:28These potatoes are looking like mashed potatoes inside this spot
44:34What are you gonna cook in there absolutely no idea I
44:39Think we ditched the salad and ended up going I thought stuff it, you know what?
44:43Broccolini with fish and chips goes really well. Oh, that's not good the broccolini
44:49The fish is over there in the foil. Hey, you're not gonna overcook it baking in its own delicious goodness. Yeah, watch it
44:59Okay moment of truth
45:06We were the only cooking table who had a swarm of wasps they were ruining the vibe
45:18What a low so I'm on the floor on the grass being like what is any ready to um
45:28And you're just like to a fish
45:44Blind tasting is they don't watch who's cooking watch. They're not blindfolded. Oh
45:50It's the chips that really make it six star
45:54Definitely cooked. No, no one's gonna die is he
46:00Maybe they've got waitresses for this
46:03Wow, I don't know what I'm trying to fix but he was like mission impossible
46:08It's overcooked. I can taste scales
46:11but apart from that
46:13It would almost be that to my dog's back
46:15Dreams are absolutely crushed. I've never seen him so flat. I was just beyond because he was a bit of a
46:22I was just beyond because it felt like
46:24Went pretty well for us in the fishing part of the challenge, but the cook just didn't like it just didn't happen for us
46:42To see more of the block head online for loads of exclusive extras
46:46And why don't get social with fellow blocker holics by giving at the blocker follow and going behind the scenes with our teams
46:58Now blockhead support
47:01And cook
47:03Three individual fish dinners to win a bar crusher for their home the hundred thousand dollars of just pure fishing arsenal
47:11Now at HQ it's time to judge the winner in a blind tasting to help me judges Shelley and
47:18expert fisherman Lee Raina
47:20Lee welcome to master. I mean the block
47:24It's a pleasure to be here. Oh, oh
47:28Thank you. Yeah. Thank you
47:32So we decided to prepare fish and papillote
47:35Which is fish wrapped up in a parchment pouch some papers chili garlic olives
47:41I think we have done enough for the win. It's a beautiful dish. I mean, I like it you like it
47:46fish in a bag
47:49Little lemon wedge on the edge
47:56It's really lovely for me the kalamata
47:59Olives and the lemon combined makes it for a little bit bitter. Mm-hmm. That's true
48:05I'd say the olives are pretty strong
48:08Yeah, I have not struck a bone yet. So I'm impressed with that
48:11That's one fish dinner down time for the next dish
48:15We decided that us lads. What would we do at home? We're gonna cook simple fish and chips
48:22That's where our skills start and end. I
48:25Think these are the modern-day fish and chips
48:36The fish is a lot more tasty
48:38There's a focus on the fish. Yeah, which really is what it's all about, right?
48:43The broccolini is delicious too. And yet it had the least plate appeal. I have to say. Yeah, but it was a good wholesome
48:52It was it was just a good pace of fish
48:55Yeah
48:57We decided we were going to do fish in a butter lemon and garlic sauce hundred percent. We've done enough to win a chair
49:03It was delicious
49:08It's got enough flavor, I'm not sure it does look good, but it's a little bit
49:14Tasteless, isn't it? It is. It's a bit bland. But this is what I would order if I was going out and having fish. Oh
49:20Well time for the next one
49:23we
49:24Decided to do a baked King George whiting with lemon garlic salt over parsley. It's very garlicky
49:33I can't taste the whiting here. All I can tell you is there mint on this or parsley? Parsley?
49:39Garlic, I can taste the parsley and the garlic. Bones
49:42Yeah, I've already had a bite. Have you? I've had two. Yeah, I don't think I can go on
49:48I can't continue
49:49Okay, what can number five do?
49:52Fish and a capsicum sauce. And who doesn't love chips on the side of fish, right?
49:57I've got to say it came out exactly the way we pictured it. It's got so much on it
50:04Mmm, good chips
50:06The fish on its own actually got a really good taste. I love the capsicum. Yeah, that's really delicious
50:12Think the balance of flavors was better in this one
50:16Unfortunately Scotty, it's only little
50:19But there's a bone. You got a bone?
50:23If that was my girls they would yell at me
50:26I would yell at you. I've got some thinking to do kids. There's a boat. You're giving away a boat. Yeah. Yeah
50:31Yeah
50:33Tell you what, this is a ball crusher. I mean a bar crusher
50:42Standing around
50:44Waiting to hear the results. I just wanted to hear the bad news. Yeah
