00:00Previously, Jessie and Paige bid farewell to the block.
00:05We're not going to keep going.
00:07I just haven't been myself.
00:09It's been such an experience.
00:11It's the right decision.
00:17Then we thought we'd have some fun.
00:19Guys, thank you so much for coming back for the whole show.
00:24No worries Scott.
00:25I'm spiralling finding out that they're the new contestants.
00:28I'm not happy.
00:29You're not happy about what?
00:30You guys.
00:31But it was all a joke.
00:33They're only here for a day.
00:35Roddy and Georgia helped the new contestants who were about to arrive.
00:39Bedside table is really lovely.
00:40Tonight in a block first, new contestants join the competition five weeks late.
00:46The youngest team ever in the history of the block.
00:49Hi.
00:50Hi.
00:51You see the new contestants?
00:52But it's not all happy families.
00:54Am I going to be nice to them?
00:55No.
00:56I want Paige and Jessie back.
00:59I want them back.
01:15In case you missed it, Kylie isn't happy with me.
01:19Kylie, are you there?
01:20Scott.
01:21You're going to get on a plane and leave us, are you?
01:23Yeah, I'm going to leave you.
01:25Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
01:28Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth, are here for one day only.
01:33So I'm running around trying to get new contestants that are not ex-contestants to take their place.
01:41Do you get it?
01:42Yeah, I get that.
01:43Are you alright?
01:44Yeah.
01:45Are you happy with me now?
01:47Sure.
01:48Alright.
01:49I'll see you later.
01:50I'll see you back here.
01:51Sure.
01:52Alright.
01:53Bye.
01:54She's not happy with me.
02:02So, Ronnie and Georgia being the new contestants was supposedly a prank from Scotty and Ronnie to wind everyone up.
02:11He's like, well, it's a joke that didn't go down real well.
02:15I was like, mm-hmm.
02:16New contestants, when they come, are not going to be well received by me.
02:20F***ing Jesus.
02:21Don't come down to house form.
02:24They will not be welcome.
02:45Yeah, look, waking up knowing that Jessie and Paige weren't there wasn't the nicest of mornings, unfortunately.
02:51Are Ronnie and Georgia back today?
02:53They will be.
02:55Still got to organise it all.
02:57Do you want them to be back?
02:59No, I don't.
03:00I was very rude to them yesterday.
03:02Because they were playing a prank.
03:04It wasn't even April Fool's.
03:06My friends had just left, and then they did that.
03:09Like, that's not okay.
03:15That's fair.
03:18That's fair.
03:20Right.
03:21Like, I just lost friends that had to, you know, they went back to Perth.
03:25And then all of a sudden, you know, it's like these all-stars are stepping in and taking over.
03:31And I was just like, I'm already doing poorly.
03:34Like, I can imagine having that sort of competition.
03:38Today is not going to be fun.
03:41The book is hard. The book.
03:43The book is hard for sure.
03:44Yeah.
03:45This is going to be one of the most tough situations we've been in.
03:49Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be like this.
03:52It's very hard.
03:54There's definitely been times when I'm like, mate, this could break a man.
03:58The block is super difficult.
04:00No, it's very, very hard emotionally and physically.
04:03And it's still really fresh that Jesse and Paige just left.
04:08Well then, let's see if we can turn those frowns upside down.
04:11As a brand new team for house one is finally on their way.
04:19And being the middle of week five, it's the latest team ever to arrive on the block.
04:24You know when Scotty is on site and you see Frankie running around that something big is about to happen.
04:31And then Scotty delivers two hard yakka bags.
04:37New contestants are coming.
04:39Everyone's like, oh, what is happening here?
04:48Oh my goodness. OK, straight. OK, we're on the road. We're on the road.
04:53Meet Charlotte, 22, and her sister Maddie, 24, from Sydney.
05:00We're sisters. I'm 22.
05:03I'm 24 and we're from Sydney.
05:08Our personalities are very different.
05:10She wears the pants of the relationships, definitely.
05:12Anything that Madeline says just goes.
05:14She's more savage and sassy.
05:17But I'm kind of like what you see is what you get kind of thing.
05:20Are you saying what you see is not what you get?
05:22I'll be more savage, you'll be nicer.
05:24We literally grew up watching the block.
05:26Like we loved it and we got so invested.
05:31I feel like it definitely did inspire us.
05:33Oh, 100%.
05:35We live in Sydney, but we work in Newcastle.
05:37She's studying in uni and I'm like working, doing like finance and accounting.
05:44We both studied business degrees, but we just decided that sitting at a desk was not what we wanted to do.
05:50And so in 2020, we just were like, why not give this whole house flipping thing a go?
05:56And so we bought our first property with zero idea what we were doing, like zero.
06:02We ripped it to shreds pretty much.
06:04Go straight in head first.
06:08And the rest is history.
06:14Guys, we just sold it.
06:16Did you do well?
06:17Very well.
06:18So yeah, that helped us a lot to help with our failure of a project over there, which is Wendy.
06:24We bought on mining tunnels and put a lot of money into concreting.
06:28Fill the mining tunnels with grout, which cost us $200,000.
06:33Don't even want to know.
06:34So there's all that profit.
06:35So we don't even talk about Wendy because she's just a lost cause.
06:37But yeah, she's quite a disaster.
06:40How did you save to do this?
06:42Well, we basically were those crazy kids that were like five and people would be like, what are you saving for?
06:48And we'd be like, a house.
06:49Like our dad's in finance.
06:51So ever since we were little, he would be like, save for something.
06:55We would be putting our birthday money away.
06:57We worked at Macca's.
06:58We run a babysitting business.
07:00And I'm not joking.
07:01Like we were earning hundreds of dollars a week from babysitting.
07:04Literally, babysitting was our biggest income source.
07:06Like we had a whole business, a whole Facebook page.
07:08Other people like working under us.
07:09It was a whole empire we made.
07:13When people say, oh, it's daddy's money.
07:15Oh, your parents helped you out.
07:17I work my damn butt off and I still work my damn butt off.
07:20Honestly, what, six days to do a room?
07:23Easy.
07:24Easy.
07:25Walking a path.
07:26Doing it without eyes closed.
07:28Oh, gosh.
07:29I missed it.
07:33It's a bit silly, isn't it?
07:35Oh, sorry, people.
07:36Oh, dear.
07:37It's OK.
07:38It's OK.
07:39Kyrie, we're new here.
07:46Guys, we're about to meet Scottie Kamm.
07:48She's like a celebrity.
07:49It's going to be weird.
07:50It's going to be crazy.
07:51It's going to be crazy.
07:55What are we doing?
07:57Fresh blood.
08:00Oh, my goodness.
08:01Crazy.
08:02This is wild.
08:09Whoa.
08:10They're like, oh, my God.
08:12Hello, ladies.
08:13Hello.
08:14Hello.
08:15Scottie Kamm.
08:16The Scottie Kamm.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Is standing there to meet us.
08:20The Scottie Kamm that we've seen on Since We Were A Child,
08:22back on the TV.
08:23How are you, ladies?
08:24Hi.
08:25So nice to meet you.
08:26Nice to meet you.
08:27This is crazy.
08:28You're Charlotte?
08:29Yes.
08:30And you're Maggie?
08:31Yes.
08:32Are you nervous?
08:33Yes.
08:34Yeah, we're all the feelings.
08:35Well, don't be nervous.
08:36It's just the block.
08:37Yeah, just the block.
08:38So you applied for this season of The Block?
08:39Yeah, and they didn't like us.
08:41We were sloppy seconds.
08:45Then they came groveling back.
08:48Thank you, girls, for coming on 24 hours' notice.
08:51I rang you yesterday.
08:52I know.
08:53You're packed.
08:54Well, yeah.
08:55Is this all you've got?
08:56Definitely.
08:57Yeah, obviously.
08:58We had no more time to do anything else.
08:59I was actually putting a hot cross bun into the toaster,
09:01and Charlotte screams, and that's when you told us,
09:04hey, a team's had to leave.
09:07Can you get on a flight tomorrow?
09:10Now, can you girls vote?
09:12How old are you?
09:1322.
09:14And 24.
09:15I knew that anyway, but for the folks at home,
09:18the youngest team ever in the history of The Block.
09:24I feel like I should be, like, mum and dad should be coming
09:27and, like, signing the papers or something.
09:29Our guardians.
09:30I'll be your surrogate dad for the next eight weeks.
09:32We'll need that.
09:33Okay?
09:34Come on, let's grab your gear.
09:35I'll help you.
09:36I still feel very young.
09:37Like, are you sure that you're trusting me to do this?
09:40Like, oh.
09:42But wait, you're the one that convinced us
09:44that you could do it.
09:45Yeah, I know.
09:46But, like, obviously in an interview,
09:47you're going to put your best foot forward, right?
09:49Now we're here.
09:50Psyche.
09:51No, no, no.
09:52Now, we are in week five.
09:54Oh, my gosh.
09:55We're halfway through week five.
09:56Oh, my gosh.
09:57You've arrived on a Wednesday.
09:58Yep.
09:59This week we're doing master bedroom, which is a big room,
10:01and walk-in row.
10:03Oh, my gosh.
10:05That's crazy.
10:06Wait till you see it.
10:07There's no floor down yet.
10:08Oh, my gosh.
10:09Oh, dear.
10:10Do you want to meet your builders?
10:12We do.
10:13Let's go.
10:14Jack.
10:15Goodie.
10:16Meet your new team.
10:18Hello.
10:19How are we going?
10:20Good, how are you?
10:21This is Maddie.
10:22I'm Charlotte.
10:23Charlotte, nice to meet you.
10:24Maddie, nice to meet you guys.
10:27We've got renovating, like, down pat.
10:29Like, we could do it with our eyes closed.
10:31Like, I take the planning, I take the budgeting,
10:34whereas the practical side of, like,
10:36if someone was going to help our carpenter build a deck,
10:38you pick her before you get me.
10:41Woo!
10:47I think people will underestimate us, and I like that.
10:49I like that challenge.
10:51I like proving people wrong.
10:52Like, we thrive off that.
10:54We have tradies who have, like, come and they're like,
10:56oh, like, how old are you?
10:58It's like, oh, where's your partner, where's your husband?
11:00I'm like, no, it's me.
11:01I'm the one paying the bills.
11:02You can talk to me.
11:03Yeah.
11:04Yeah.
11:05This, by Sunday morning, has to be a master bedroom,
11:08fully painted, decorated, furnished,
11:11and this and a walk-in rope.
11:13That's insane.
11:14Where's the walk-in rope?
11:15Right here.
11:16Where we're standing.
11:17Oh, my gosh.
11:20Sydneysiders Maddie and Charlotte
11:22inherited plans for their main bedroom from Ronnie and Georgia,
11:25which included striped Trafico wallpaper,
11:28curvy bedhead and earthy tones.
11:31The girls will also have to work with Jessie and Paige's
11:34original wardrobe design,
11:36neutral colours and open glass shelves.
11:39Get some high-vis on.
11:40Yep.
11:41And get bloody into it.
11:42Yep.
11:43We're already behind.
11:44Put that in my back pocket.
11:46All right, get your boots on, girls.
11:48Let's go.
11:49Hey, welcome.
11:51Woo!
11:52Do you know what happened to Jessie and Paige?
11:56Vaguely, they've just given up a dream.
12:00You know, like, I can imagine that that would be painful.
12:04And you would have to get to a pretty serious point
12:06to, like, to make that decision,
12:09and so I think I do have so much compassion for them
12:11and, yeah, a bit of sadness, really.
12:14Like, as much as it's such a beautiful opportunity for us,
12:17I would have loved you to have that opportunity too.
12:20We want to honour, you know, the hard work,
12:22the four weeks of time, effort, emotions.
12:26You started this.
12:27Like, this is your house too, you know?
12:29Yeah.
12:30It's almost like we can share it.
12:33Yeah.
12:45The contestants have to reveal a crucial room in the house this week,
12:49main bedroom and walk-in row.
12:51And house two have big plans for theirs.
12:54Courtney and Grant are packing their space with luxe features,
12:57including herringbone flooring, a port-o-timber feature wall,
13:01a fireplace surrounded by wallpaper,
13:03and a super king velvet bed frame.
13:06Then down their arched hallway is the walk-in row,
13:09with a custom stone make-up station and neutral tone cupboards,
13:13which Kingsmen have just arrived to install.
13:17Kingsmen came in and thought they wanted to install on Wednesday morning.
13:20OK, are you guys ready?
13:28Don't even have any walls.
13:30You don't even have green-tongue flooring down.
13:32Where are you going to put it in the insulation?
13:34Look, we'll prioritise this for you guys.
13:36Yep.
13:37And then we'll do everything outside of here,
13:39cos we won't be in your way and you guys won't be in our way,
13:41so it'll be nice and smooth.
13:43All right.
13:44So...
13:45We've got so much to do before those wardrobes go in.
13:48Next door in house three,
13:49Ricky and Aidan also have a massive day ahead.
13:55Never-ending room for insulation, this joint.
13:57I know.
13:58It's like 170 square metres of insulation.
14:02It's week five,
14:03and the boys are yet to get off the bottom of the scoreboard
14:06and are hoping to wow the judges with their 36-square-metre main bedroom.
14:11And they're embracing the holiday resort vibe
14:13with tropical wallpaper,
14:15a layered port-o-timber bedhead,
14:17floor-to-ceiling curtains,
14:18and a fancy lit-up ceiling detail resembling a halo.
14:23We're doing a bit of a special feature in the ceiling,
14:26so it's sort of like a coffer ceiling,
14:27but just a different shape, just over the king-size bed.
14:30Just going for that real grand sort of look
14:32when you walk into the master bed.
14:35Going to look fantastic.
14:38There's a new team in house one,
14:39and with that comes a new team colour.
14:44And with Maddie and Charlotte having only just arrived on site,
14:47the sisters are trying to get their head around this week's room.
14:52So excited.
14:53Oh, my gosh!
14:54Ronni and Georgia came the day before
14:57and they did some prep work for us, which was such a blessing.
15:00I really think we just need to call Georgia and ask her what she's done.
15:03Also a surreal moment.
15:04Like, I'm talking to Georgia, I have her number.
15:07Hello!
15:09Oh, look at you.
15:10Oh, my gosh, thank you for all your help so far.
15:13Like, we've just been going through it all.
15:14She's so beautiful and so lovely and giving me all this advice.
15:18I don't know how they're playing the block this year,
15:20but don't forget about styling your wardrobe.
15:22Yeah, 100%.
15:23The bedside tables have been ordered,
15:25and they're from Globe West, and they're, like, super gorgeous.
15:28Yeah, that looks so nice.
15:30Hello, sorry.
15:31Flat ceiling?
15:32No, let's not do flat ceiling.
15:34Just go with what you...
15:35We're not going to achieve that.
15:36Oh, you're not going to?
15:37No.
15:38Can we do something more than just a flat ceiling?
15:40Like, a little bit more, like, interesting?
15:43What was that?
15:44It's a lot.
15:45A lot of people are coming in and out.
15:46They're like, hi, this is my name.
15:47I'm like, who are you?
15:48Are you just our electrician or are you everyone's?
15:50Everyone's.
15:51So we don't have a lot of time.
15:53We need all of five seconds.
15:55And it's overwhelming.
15:56So we need to know when the ceiling's getting knobbed or walled.
15:59Do you know if their robes are open or closed?
16:02Like, it's, like, people coming in, asking questions.
16:04Do you want any lights when you skylight?
16:06Do you know if you're doing curtains?
16:07Do you know how long your room is that way?
16:09Oh, dear.
16:10What's he talking about?
16:11I don't know.
16:12Oh, crap.
16:13There is a lot going on,
16:14and it's, like, we have no time to even think.
16:17And what was your name again?
16:18Hey, girls.
16:19I'm Pam from Plungy.
16:21I'm here to talk about your pool.
16:22I'll talk to you.
16:23You should leave that with me.
16:25Plungy Pools wanted to ask what orientation I wanted my pool.
16:28Do I even have a pool?
16:29I didn't even know I had a pool.
16:30And where is my pool?
16:31Key decision points for you is which way do you want the stairs facing, right?
16:36He was like, do you want your stairs this way or this way?
16:38And I was like, well, I don't even know what my backyard looks like,
16:41let alone where's my back door or anything in between.
16:44What colour do you need it to be?
16:49Yeah, it was chaos.
16:51Yeah, chaos.
16:54Now that the girls have settled into the way of life on the block,
16:57around sight, word has spread about their arrival.
17:00And like I've always said, the block is one big family.
17:04So let's hope the original blockheads are ready to give them a warm welcome.
17:08Have you noticed any other contestants around?
17:10No, I haven't.
17:12I can't wait to meet them.
17:13I hope they like us.
17:15Is that one there?
17:16No.
17:17Well, I don't know.
17:19All right, I'm going to go introduce myself.
17:21Do I look OK?
17:23Awesome.
17:27Day one, when we all entered together, it was like, OK, we're all in this together.
17:31We can share the same, you know, feelings and experience.
17:34Whereas this is like, I have no idea who's going to walk through.
17:39Knock, knock.
17:48I'm scared.
17:55I can't.
17:56I can't.
17:57I can't.
17:59Christian!
18:02So I was very reluctant to meeting them.
18:04Not reluctant, I wanted to meet them, but my internally said no.
18:10I can't.
18:11I'm too scared.
18:12What?
18:13To meet them?
18:14Yeah.
18:15Christian?
18:16Yes?
18:17Can you please come with me to meet the new girls?
18:19Now?
18:20Yeah.
18:21Then Christian went inside with me.
18:25Go on.
18:27Hey, hello.
18:29But then I ran out again.
18:33I can't do it.
18:34I can't.
18:39How are you going?
18:40Hi, I'm Maddie.
18:41I'm Christian.
18:42I'm sorry?
18:43Christian.
18:44Christian.
18:45I actually feel like I'm panicking.
18:48We're from House 5.
18:49Come out.
18:50I don't know where my wife went.
18:51And then when I met them, it was fine.
18:53Hi!
18:54Hi!
18:55How are you?
18:56Good.
18:57Oh my gosh.
18:58Sorry, that was so insane.
19:00Yeah, it was insane.
19:01Charlotte, hi, nice to meet you.
19:02What was your name?
19:03Sorry?
19:04Mimi.
19:05Mimi.
19:06Hi.
19:07What's your name?
19:08Maddie.
19:09Hi, Maddie.
19:10Charlotte and Maddie.
19:11You guys excited?
19:12Yeah, we're super excited, but I think right now I'm like, oh my goodness.
19:14I would just prefer to be humble and then, like, surprise people.
19:18We can just tell them what else we do.
19:20We work in finance.
19:21Yeah.
19:22We do.
19:23We just also have another huge hobby on the side.
19:28We both have business degrees, and so we've just done, like, a whole different range.
19:31More with broken accounting, all that kind of random stuff.
19:33Okay.
19:34But yeah, if you need any tips or hints.
19:37We need all the tips and hints.
19:39Anything you think that we will not know, tell us.
19:42Don't worry.
19:43We're a big family here, which is really nice.
19:45So nice.
19:46I was nervous, like, coming in.
19:47I'm sure you guys were too.
19:48We were too.
19:49We were like, oh my gosh, what are we walking into?
19:50People are going to hate us.
19:51No.
19:52Not like that.
19:53We all love each other.
19:54I don't think this is like other shows that they come in and, like, everyone will turn
19:57on them because they're the new people.
19:59I think, like, our group here.
20:01We're very welcoming.
20:02You're very welcoming.
20:03We're welcoming with open arms.
20:08You see the new contestants?
20:11Have you seen them?
20:14They're here.
20:17It's two girls.
20:18I haven't seen them.
20:19I've seen them walk past.
20:21I thought you'd be enthused.
20:23Yeah.
20:25Will I be nice to them?
20:26No.
20:28Clearly Brad's going to be super welcoming because I'm not.
20:32So he's going to make up for how, well, what I worked out I am yesterday.
20:37I'm a Grinch.
20:39Where did Grinch come from?
20:40Who called you a Grinch?
20:41I don't know.
20:42I'm the block Grinch.
20:43I just am.
20:44And I have green hair, so it's kind of fitting.
20:47Hello.
20:48I'm Courtney.
20:49Oh, nice to meet you.
20:50Nice to meet you, too.
20:51Welcome.
20:52I'm your neighbour.
20:53Yeah, I was like, I'm assuming you're a contestant.
20:55I try and be.
20:56We've met so many people today and we're like, who are you?
20:59It was nice to meet the girls.
21:00They seem really keen.
21:01They've got lots of energy.
21:03Young, very young.
21:05You met Kylie and Brad?
21:06Hi.
21:07Have you met Kylie and Brad?
21:08No, we haven't met anyone.
21:09No, these are the girls.
21:11Hello.
21:12Sorry, are we distracting?
21:13Yeah.
21:15Are you doing a TikTok?
21:16Yeah, we're doing a TikTok.
21:17At your house, say how much we hate you.
21:19That's what they wanted us to say.
21:22I'm Charlotte, by the way.
21:23I'm Maddie.
21:24I'm Bradley.
21:25Nice to meet you guys.
21:27Number one, if you haven't put two and two together.
21:29Two and two.
21:32I'm giving a tour.
21:33Nice.
21:34A grand tour.
21:35Get this TikTok done and we'll be at our house.
21:37See you.
21:38Bye.
21:44I think she was thrilled to see us.
21:45Yeah.
21:47I'm sure she's lovely, but yeah, she didn't...
21:49Maybe she was just surprised.
21:50And she was distracted making a TikTok, so I don't know.
21:54Important things.
21:55I don't think she was thrilled to see us.
21:58Was it nice to meet them?
21:59No.
22:00Am I going to be nice to them?
22:01No.
22:02That's not Jessie and Paige.
22:04I just called Jessie and Paige.
22:06Jess and Paige.
22:08Can you just play nice?
22:09No.
22:11Just give them a day, at least.
22:12I'm not a nice person.
22:19Happy anniversary.
22:20To celebrate 20 fabulous seasons of The Block,
22:23head online to catch up with your favourite Block all-stars.
22:26And check out The Block shop for great deals
22:29on this season's winning design ideas.
22:32It's all at The Block website.
22:44This morning we had some fresh new faces join The Block,
22:47but there's one contestant who's not happy about it.
22:56Hello.
22:57Hello.
22:58How are you?
22:59I'm all right, how are you?
23:01You don't sound fine.
23:03The new contestants are here.
23:07And who are they?
23:08Two girls and they've changed their house colour
23:10and given them all these new clothing
23:13and I'm not happy about it.
23:17So who are they?
23:19Some young girls.
23:21Where are they from?
23:22Newbies or what?
23:23Yeah, newbies.
23:24No idea where they're from.
23:25I spoke to them for two seconds and just ignored them.
23:29Oh, OK.
23:30So what's Brad doing?
23:32Staying away from me because I can just hear him walking around.
23:37Brad's annoyed me.
23:40Like he always does.
23:42So now I'm not talking to him.
23:46How has Brad annoyed you?
23:49What's it about?
23:51This is about house one.
23:52Being pink.
23:54And Kylie refusing to show any kind of contestant in house one
24:00any kind of warmth, sympathy or understanding
24:04in any way, shape or form.
24:08When she's actually a nice person
24:11and actually cares about people,
24:12I don't quite understand why she's making these people's life harder.
24:19How did I make their life harder?
24:20By saying hi.
24:21How did I make their life harder?
24:22By saying hi.
24:24No, you...
24:25I just said hi.
24:26What's a colour pink got...
24:28Why does it matter?
24:29Why do they get a different colour?
24:31They're a different team.
24:32I want to change our colour to black.
24:34I don't want to be green.
24:35I actually don't like green.
24:36I know that's surprising to everyone.
24:39I don't think they picked their colour, but...
24:41You won't bet.
24:42And they've got new hard yakka stuff.
24:44Where's our hard yakka stuff?
24:46They get special treatment already.
24:47I'm not down for it.
24:49They did come into it.
24:50I don't care.
24:52I want Paige and Jessie back.
24:56Meanwhile in House 5,
24:59Mimi's concentrating on their main bedroom.
25:04Well, sort of.
25:07I feel like I might implode.
25:09All the ideas and the design and everything.
25:12Is that weird?
25:14She and Christian are the only ones working upstairs this week
25:17and have one of the biggest bedrooms on the block.
25:20But it's their walk-in robe they plan to impress the judges with.
25:23It will include a tan leather bench seat,
25:26full-length cabinets, glass shelving
25:28and some extra special features with the amazing upgrade.
25:32So today I'm going to Haithli
25:36to collect and claim my prize.
25:39$10,000 worth.
25:40Our prize.
25:41Sorry.
25:42To collect our prize.
25:44The winner taking home a $10,000 wardrobe upgrade from Haithli.
25:48It's Christian and Mimi.
26:02Love.
26:03Stunning leather detail on these beautiful timber hangers
26:07from Solichi.
26:13We have our beautiful top-lift wardrobe.
26:17Oh my gosh.
26:18So, if you're a little bit on the short side
26:21and you need accessibility to this top shell.
26:25When the judges see our wardrobe and they open up the doors,
26:28they're going to be like, winner, again.
26:31Thank you so much.
26:32Thanks, I can't wait.
26:35See you, babe.
26:47Three, four.
26:53Hi, welcome to Art Lovers.
26:55I'm Taya.
26:56I'm Kylie.
26:57Nice to meet you, Taya.
26:58Nice to meet you too.
26:59There's some such cool colours.
27:00Yeah.
27:01This is a really good shot for me.
27:03I'm such a colour person.
27:05But only in art and hair.
27:07It's all visual.
27:08And I know what I want, I just have to see it.
27:11Because then people go, well, what's the inspire?
27:13I was like, I don't have inspire.
27:14I just know what I want when I see it.
27:17MUSIC
27:34This is it.
27:35I need to base my room around this.
27:37Now that Kylie has some inspiration,
27:39she's come up with a plan for her main bedroom.
27:43She plans to bring the art into the room,
27:45burgundy chairs, pink linen,
27:47a show soogie bun feature wall,
27:49and a gold ceiling.
27:51Today's a better day.
27:53Imagine the down when I have to drive home now.
28:07We've just got our frame inspected
28:09and it's ticked off,
28:10so we've got a full night of insulation.
28:15On top of the full day of insulation that I've just had.
28:18So why don't you have a break?
28:19I'll start.
28:20Done.
28:23So our plans tonight are,
28:24sort out some dinner and insulate the ceiling.
28:29They're brides plans.
28:30I go to bed.
28:32You don't want dinner?
28:33No.
28:34We have no food.
28:35Oh, I'm going to go get it.
28:36The boys have eaten it all
28:37because they have a line easy fridge.
28:41So I'm also mad at them.
28:43And house one.
28:44And you.
28:49Yeah, it was a big day today.
28:50We're hoping to be able to get most of our plastering done.
28:53Probably didn't get as far as what we wanted to,
28:56but we've got a few sheets on,
28:57so another big day tomorrow.
29:02We're not exactly where we wanted to be.
29:05We didn't have sign off for our frame.
29:07Yeah.
29:08Which then pushes us behind a little bit for plastering.
29:11Yeah.
29:12What a day.
29:13Made it to the end of the first day.
29:15Well now we have it.
29:16We've got a long night to go and I'm already tired.
29:19Is it what you expected?
29:21We're going to be itchy.
29:24We knew that it would be a lot.
29:25Be full on.
29:26I'm still terrified.
29:27I still don't feel equipped to do it.
29:30Have you guys met the newbies over in house one?
29:33No.
29:34Because they're new contestants.
29:39Coming up, a challenge brings tears.
29:41Where's Grumpy?
29:42He's working.
29:43Who's running this show?
29:45Grumpy or me?
29:49And our new team are blindsided by their neighbours.
29:52We were sharing the plasterers,
29:54but we had one guy left,
29:56because the other three are at Christian's house.
29:58We said we'd love if Brendan could work with us.
30:01It's main bedroom week on the block,
30:03and it's the biggest rooms our blockheads have had to attempt so far.
30:07We are so behind.
30:09We are very behind.
30:11Because we are still sharing plasterers.
30:13Hopefully they can balance houses one and five together.
30:17Ah yes, that delicate balance.
30:19You see, at the start of the block,
30:21we're going to be sharing the plasterers.
30:23We're going to be sharing the plasterers.
30:25We're going to be sharing the plasterers.
30:27We're going to be sharing the plasterers.
30:29At the start of the block,
30:30previous House One contestants, Jesse and Paige,
30:33and House Fives, Christian and Mimi,
30:35were sharing plasterers.
30:37But with Jesse and Paige leaving the block,
30:39and Maddie and Charlotte arriving,
30:41Christian may have forgotten the definition of the word share.
30:49Morning, brother.
30:50Hey, mate.
30:51Hey, I'm just touching base about House One.
30:53As far as I'm concerned,
30:55I would say, mate, we'll do us as a priority.
30:58Yep.
30:59All right, mate.
31:00Thanks for that.
31:01Done.
31:02OK, bye, mate.
31:03Bye.
31:11Hopefully today we have the plastering team
31:15coming to do all the plastering in here
31:17so that kinsmen can get in and put the wardrobes in.
31:20So that's what we're pushing for.
31:21Otherwise, we could be a bit screwed.
31:24But we'll see.
31:28Today's huge.
31:29Probably the biggest day on the block so far, I reckon.
31:31Felt like there's so much going on this week with a short week.
31:34Still have to fix off our frames, get a framing inspection.
31:38It's going to be a race to the finish.
31:40I feel like it's doable, though.
31:42I'm glad somebody has unrealistic faith in this team.
31:49Is grumpy sticking?
31:51Why, Bart?
31:52I'm grumpy for the first 20 minutes when I wake up,
31:54and I think everybody can attest to that.
31:56Producers, cameramen, just let me get my coffee in.
31:59Let me go and take care of business in the morning
32:02where I need to take care of it, and I'm fine.
32:05You're not grumpy all of your day.
32:08But if something goes wrong, then...
32:11Grant!
32:12Yo!
32:13We've got a challenge.
32:14Oh, f***.
32:15I can't.
32:16I can't.
32:17I'm not f***ing doing it.
32:20There it is.
32:21Challenge.
32:22We're heading out.
32:24For f***'s sake!
32:25What?
32:26We've got a challenge.
32:27I told you!
32:28Yes, I...
32:29Mimi!
32:30We've got work here.
32:32You need to prop your sleeves, get your hand dirty,
32:34and have some fun.
32:35Good.
32:36Change the mood and bring a pop of colour to your day.
32:38Join Shelly and I for a crafty session at Clay and Co. Studio.
32:47Did that text brighten your day, or did it bring you down?
32:50It brought us down.
32:51When you're already a day late, and then a challenge thrown at you.
32:55Well, imagine being five weeks and three days late.
32:59We haven't even had a full day on site yet,
33:02and we're already leaving to go for a challenge.
33:04So that's really not great.
33:06We're going to come back, and the whole place is going to be plastered, right?
33:09Yep.
33:10Yeah.
33:11Please?
33:12Yeah, no, we'll give it a good crack.
33:14Things go our way, for sure.
33:15Yeah, yeah.
33:16Make them go your way.
33:18Courtney and I made the decision for her to go to the challenge,
33:21for me to stay here.
33:22We've got multiple trays.
33:23We've got eight people here today,
33:25so there just needs to be somebody on site.
33:27Yeah, a lot of moving parts.
33:31We probably obviously won't win the challenge,
33:33considering it's just me.
33:35But there's just so much.
33:36I'd rather finish a room.
33:38See you, Grant.
33:39See you.
33:48Hi.
33:53Hello.
33:54Good morning.
33:55Good morning.
33:56Welcome.
33:57Hello.
33:58Well, hi.
33:59Good morning.
34:00Hi.
34:01I'm Shelley.
34:02We'll chat later.
34:03Hello, everyone.
34:04Welcome to Clay and Co.
34:05This is a fabulous co-working space for artists here on Phillip Island,
34:10and it's currently featuring our very own block shop.
34:13And guys, meet Kaz.
34:14She runs and owns this studio here.
34:16And we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you guys
34:20to make something magnificent to go in your main bedrooms,
34:24you beauty.
34:28So, Kaz, what have you got planned for us?
34:30Today, guys, we're going to be making paper mache lampshades.
34:34Oh.
34:35I can hear the excitement.
34:37So paper mache lamps and shades,
34:39which we have a selection of over here.
34:41So we've made some masters here.
34:43You're going to be mixing up paper mache,
34:45making a bit of a mess.
34:46You're going to be putting some texture on it,
34:48and later on we're going to paint them.
34:50It's going to be a fun day.
34:53Your magnificent lamps and shades will be judged by Kaz,
34:57and there is a fabulous $5,000 cash up for grabs.
35:02Before we go on, where's Grumpy?
35:06He's working.
35:07What?
35:08Yeah, we're not going to finish our room this week,
35:10so he's part of the build team.
35:13Are you serious?
35:14He's not turning up to our challenge?
35:16He's not here, no.
35:17Who's running this show?
35:19Grumpy or me?
35:21You are.
35:22Well, now I'm Grumpy.
35:23Yeah.
35:25Michelle, I want to up the ante now that Grumpy's not here.
35:27I want to make it more important.
35:30I love this.
35:33Will you toss that in?
35:34Well, good for you, though.
35:35That's 20 grand's worth.
35:36Good.
35:37Even better.
35:38Even better.
35:39Is it 20 grand?
35:40Yes, it is.
35:42Fantastic.
35:43Called Wet Season by Kangelala.
35:46That piece of art was on our short list.
35:48We wanted that.
35:49Which would go so perfectly in my dining room,
35:51so I want it.
35:53Great.
35:54$5,000 cash and the $20,000 painting is up for grabs today.
35:58You've got no chance because you're on your own now.
36:07Let's go.
36:08Let's go.
36:12You going to get one?
36:13Yeah.
36:24I'm tired.
36:26I'm f***ing tired.
36:38I'm sorry.
36:49He's tired.
36:50I'm f***ing tired.
36:52What would you prefer?
36:53Would you prefer him here or prefer him to finish the room?
36:56I prefer him to finish the room.
36:57You were back working, went to the challenge.
36:59Scotty wasn't impressed.
37:01He was not impressed.
37:02He said, now, he's grumpy,
37:04and that, he said,
37:05it'd be a very slim chance of me even winning.
37:07I was emotionally tired, so I had a little cry.
37:10If you were by yourself, you'd be great.
37:12Grant wouldn't bring anything to the table,
37:14but I would love him here in spirit.
37:16He'd be there for support. Thanks.
37:18We'll find the grumpiest-looking thing in here
37:19and we'll put it next to you.
37:21♪ I love you like I do, like I do... ♪
37:24Today, we're at Clay & Co,
37:26and the contestants have two hours to decorate lamps
37:29with paper mache for texture and then paint them
37:32for a chance to win $5,000 and a $20,000 painting.
37:37Let's not forget, they have to be displayed in their main bedroom.
37:41Give it some personality.
37:43Look at the art studio.
37:44You're surrounded by so much inspiration on the walls.
37:49First, they have to choose a shade and a base...
37:52Oh! Ah!
37:53Yay!
37:54Woo-hoo!
37:56..and get their aprons on.
37:58How did you do?
38:00BEEPING
38:03I'm Shelly. It's so nice to have you here.
38:05It's so nice to meet you. I'm Maddie, by the way.
38:07Maddie, Charlotte, from...?
38:09Sydney. Sydney, great.
38:11This is like some sort of riddle in itself, mate.
38:14BEEPING
38:17How's this thing like?
38:19We met the boys, cos we hadn't seen them yet.
38:21Quite entertaining.
38:22They were struggling with their aprons, so I helped them out.
38:25How did you get your apron on?
38:27Oh, no, you need some help there.
38:29Oh, no. How did you work that out?
38:30You need to take that all the way off.
38:32Oh, no. Start again. Oh, gee.
38:35There you go. That's better.
38:36OK. That still feels the same, but I'm glad it's all right.
38:38Cheers. Thank you.
38:40Do you reckon it's our rival now,
38:41because it's, like, two same-sex couples, the sisters?
38:45Like, we're almost brothers.
38:46Yeah, it could be.
38:47They could be, like, a direct rival or enemy.
38:51OK.
38:54BEEPING
38:58How are you going?
38:59Hello, Scotty.
39:00I went a bit hard on you, didn't I? I'm sorry.
39:02It's OK. I was cranky.
39:03I wasn't... I wasn't crying at you.
39:05I was just... I'm just emotional and tired.
39:07I feel a bit sad about me saying you had no chance.
39:10Oh, Scotty, you don't have to feel bad.
39:12I was just cranky, right, because Grumpy didn't turn up to my challenge.
39:15I know. And that upsets me a lot.
39:17I know. I said to him he should be here.
39:20We should play a prank on him later.
39:22No, no, no. He's going to live to regret this.
39:26I definitely think I can do this, but more time frame.
39:30Like, I'm a bit more of a slower worker,
39:32and Grant is... He does things really fast.
39:34So just having extra hands there to make the lamp and then paint
39:37would have been really beneficial.
39:40I ran and picked a beautiful curvy base,
39:42and then I've got a shade which has, like, a sculpted edge.
39:45WHIMSICAL MUSIC
39:47♪ Every time we get stronger
39:52♪ I want you to stay longer
39:54We're going to do, like, a beige-y here,
39:56and then brown kind of filtered through.
39:58We can do that after. We need to figure out texture now.
40:00OK, go, go, go. That's what I said. Texture.
40:02Why don't you listen to me?
40:03I want to win this badly,
40:06because the painting really suits our house.
40:07It suits our theme.
40:09For our lamp, we'll kind of do, like, a gradient,
40:11like, light to dark brown and some, like, metallic flecks in it.
40:16Beige and then brown and then beige.
40:19So it kind of goes like the picture.
40:22Today is my day.
40:25I love this sort of thing.
40:27I always want to win,
40:29but that painting would go awfully well in my dining room.
40:33My inspiration is an art piece that I picked out yesterday.
40:37WHIMSICAL MUSIC
40:42Very textural, quite dark, quite moody.
40:46It's going to be a textural masterpiece, is what it's going to be.
40:49That's the look I'm going for.
40:52This is, like, a shambles.
40:54We think we may have put a little bit too much on.
40:56It's a bit much. We don't really know how much...
40:58It looks a bit funny, but we'll get there.
41:01I heard people being like,
41:03yeah, I'm going to do browns and mustards
41:04because that's what my room is, and I'm like,
41:06hmm, I don't know what I'm going to do
41:08because I haven't gone to the shops yet.
41:10Do you actually have any direction, guys?
41:12No. Yeah, we kind of do.
41:14We think we're going to do stripes
41:15because our room, our wallpaper...
41:17We have wallpaper that has stripes in it,
41:19so maybe we could tie that in.
41:22That's what we're vibing. But we're not sure yet.
41:25How thick are we going, mate? We're not going to have enough.
41:29It's going pretty thin. Oh, yeah?
41:30Yeah. I'm going thick.
41:32I'm thick down there.
41:34Two dudes, one lamp. Sounds like a story of love.
41:37I've seen this movie before.
41:40Yeah, we have.
41:42We decided to go with a lamp design
41:46covered with a papier-mâché substance
41:49and painted finish.
41:53We don't do arts and crafts.
41:55We're stuffed. We know we're cooked on this one.
41:58We're going to give everyone a good laugh.
42:00Really unique there, guys.
42:02I think you're going to nail it.
42:13Mimi, you're a bloody comedian, you are.
42:17You kind of got to see a little glimpse
42:19of, like, Mimi and Christian's relationship,
42:21where they're bickering at each other.
42:23Because remember, like, the bedroom smell, you grant?
42:26Why are you taking the piss? I'm not taking the piss.
42:28I'm saying yes, yes, yes.
42:30What the f***?
42:32Oh, you're so annoying.
42:45Hey, what's it going to be?
42:47All right. I'm going to take orange.
42:49All right, I'm going to get some white paint, too.
42:51Black.
42:52Come on, did anyone think anything else?
42:54I'm hoping to get, like, caramel
42:56or potentially, like, a chocolate brown.
42:58Yeah, I'd be going for a little bit of this,
43:00a little bit of the red over there.
43:02Yep.
43:03I just like these pinks.
43:05The pinks are cool.
43:07We crowded our lamp base off the artwork behind us.
43:12A few pops of pinks, peaches and beige
43:14and a little bit of blue.
43:16Oh, that's, yeah.
43:17This is a beautiful colour.
43:18You like that?
43:19Very on point with kind of what's going on behind you as well.
43:22Beautiful colour.
43:23We try and listen as best we can.
43:31I started painting it.
43:32It was this curvy little base without the shade.
43:34And I was painting it brown.
43:35I was like, hold up.
43:40How you going over there, Cort?
43:42I know what you think it looks like.
43:45Have I picked the wrong colour?
43:47Um...
43:49It looks like it doesn't.
43:50Look, you have your vision.
43:52You go with your vision.
43:58Honestly, you'd do better.
44:00Maybe if you were there.
44:01Usually, something wavy, long and cylindrical...
44:04I was just so focused.
44:06...and the colour brown is associated with...
44:12What do you think, Cheryl?
44:13I think it is.
44:14Fifteen minutes.
44:17Woo!
44:25Got to be on show for judges.
44:28I'm talking to you two as well.
44:32I like it.
44:33I do too.
44:34It's got to go on show.
44:37Thanks, Scotty.
44:38Wow.
44:39I actually quite like what we've made.
44:42Coral.
44:43It's the barrier reef at night.
44:48I'm almost there.
44:50If we could pull this off, it'd be like Bradbury winning that gold.
44:54Only due to everyone else's failure.
44:56OK, gang.
44:57Five minutes to go.
44:59So you're just going to have to go for a colour.
45:01What colour do I do? What colour do I do?
45:05You guys are loving this, aren't you?
45:09Actually, it looks like something that we just dug up out in the backyard.
45:12Good. Happy with that?
45:13Yeah.
45:14Just keep going over the lines until they look really good.
45:17So much paint on there that it's collapsing.
45:19So right now, the lamp is like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
45:23It's collapsing.
45:29BUZZER
45:30Stop, everybody! Please!
45:34Please, stop!
45:37Stop adding to it!
45:38Just...
45:40Just put the brushes down.
45:44Time's up. Thank you.
45:52Our teams have just completed a paper mache lamp challenge
45:56for a chance to win 25 grand worth of prizes.
45:59Time's up. Thank you.
46:01Time for judging.
46:02Oh, jeez. Good catch.
46:05You guys have nailed it!
46:09Wow.
46:11Wow.
46:13They were all very, very average.
46:16Like, ours didn't resemble much of a lamp.
46:18No.
46:19Everyone's lamp was hideous.
46:21Courtney's.
46:26It's now time for Kaz to critique the team's lamps.
46:29They told me to...
46:30You girls, Maddie and Charlotte, stripe lamp up first.
46:34Look, I think they did a great job.
46:36And for a first challenge as well,
46:38I would have liked to have maybe seen a little bit more colour
46:41in the lamp shade.
46:44Next up and flying solo, Courtney's scalloped edge lamp.
46:48Looks like... I feel like I'm on an angle.
46:51I'm on a lane.
46:52I think that what's going on here is really lovely.
46:55Yeah.
46:56But it's let down, obviously, by the base.
47:00Rikki and Hayden have named their lamp Pink Flower.
47:04I really like this piece.
47:06If you were to put this in front of me
47:08and tell me two fellas had done this,
47:10I wouldn't believe you.
47:11Overall, guys, great job.
47:13Up next, Kylie and Brad's moody coral reef-inspired lamp.
47:17I love that shape choice that they made.
47:19I think that the drum goes really well with the curvature of the base.
47:22Mm-hm.
47:23What I feel may have fallen back a little bit
47:26is with the colour choice.
47:27Black is quite a heavy colour to be using.
47:30And last up, Christian and Mimi with their gradient-painted lamp.
47:34They executed the colour really well.
47:36I like the little bits, the little pops of gold
47:39that they added in at the end.
47:42Kaz, you have got a big job to do.
47:44It's $25,000 worth.
47:46Yep.
47:47Big prize.
47:48Let's do it.
47:51Can I say how good they look now?
47:54All lit up, all nice and clean and getting a little bit drier.
47:58Congratulations.
47:59I think it is a fantastic effort.
48:01I was having a giggle before
48:02because I know I wouldn't have been able to make
48:05even anything close to that in the time frame we had.
48:08There can be only one winner,
48:10and those winners today are...
48:13Ricky and Hayden.
48:14Oh!
48:15MUSIC
48:20Oh, boys!
48:22LAUGHTER
48:26So, $5,000 in cash from the block shop
48:30and this incredible artwork here,
48:33$20,000 from the block shop and Artist Lane,
48:37a gorgeous painting called Wet Season by Kangelala.
48:41Boys won again.
48:42Boys got it done.
48:44And no-one is more shocked than me.
48:47LAUGHTER
48:51After being off-site all day at the challenge,
48:54contestants are arriving back happy
48:56and can't wait to see the build team's progress.
48:59Yeah, that looks sick in there.
49:00Wow.
49:06Nailed it.
49:08Hey.
49:09Yeah, that looks really... That was amazing.
49:12We're in a better position than we were this morning.
49:14Much better.
49:15Scotty was not happy.
49:16Oh, really?
49:17Yeah.
49:18I think it's more of a disadvantage.
49:19We didn't participate in the challenge properly.
49:21We're the ones that are missing out on something.
49:24Oh!
49:25Yes!
49:27Look at this!
49:30Oh, this is good.
49:32So after Christian told the plasterers they share with House One
49:36to prioritise his bedroom,
49:38it seems all has gone well for them.
49:41Unreal.
49:56OK, so what's the go at the moment?
49:58I have no idea.
50:01So are you House Five or are you here?
50:03I was both.
50:04Wait, I'm so confused.
50:05Yeah, so am I.
50:06My understanding was that we were sharing the plasterers,
50:09but we had one guy left
50:11because the other three were at Christian's house.
50:18So the plasterers originally belonged to House One.
50:21They were House... No, no, no, no, no.
50:23They were Jessie and Pages, the contestants.
50:25They don't belong to the house.
50:27They belong to the house.
50:28They belong to the contestants.
50:30OK, so they were Jessie and Pages.
50:32Jessie and Pages are no longer here.
50:34So for this week, obviously, we'll just keep sharing.
50:37We're a bit behind, you guys are a little bit behind.
50:43We're a lot behind.
50:44Yeah, yeah, I know.
50:45We don't even have sheets on.
50:46It's a tough, tough situation.
50:48Let's just get both rooms done this week
50:51and we can talk about it next week.
50:53Perfect. Thanks for that.
50:54No, no, no, thank you.
50:58So you're taking the plasterers back at the end of this week?
51:01Yes, but then they're going to have a full week
51:04to find a plasterer, not one day.
51:06Right.
51:07Yeah, OK, thank you.
51:11Coming in on the first day and then having your trades taken
51:15was not ideal,
51:17especially when it's something like plastering
51:20and it's like, I can't actually do that.
51:24Tomorrow night, the sisters fight battles on all fronts.
51:28Just don't cam me on TV or I'll just pull the pin and walk off.
51:32It's very hard to run a work site
51:34and to have authority when you feel out of your depth.
51:37Grand cops are served from yours truly.
51:40That is not allowed to happen ever again.
51:43It's unfair to the other teams.
51:45So that is almost paramount to cheating.
51:48And plaster panic sets in.
51:50Do you think of maybe coming over for a little bit to give us a hand?
51:54Please?
51:55They are our plasterers, get them back.
51:57You're going to leave me high and dry.
