00:00Previously, Christian and Mimi, after a big win, a huge loss.
00:08It's a very brave decision that you've made.
00:11Love you all.
00:13And a red herring.
00:15I'd like you to meet your new contestants.
00:17Hey!
00:19Georgia came up and introduced herself
00:21and announced that her and Ronnie were taking over House 1.
00:24You're leaving? Yep. Why?
00:26If they come on, I'm leaving. I'm done.
00:29Our prank has backfired. Oh, no!
00:32They're only here for a date.
00:34All the best. Good luck. See you later.
00:36You're going to need it.
00:37And then, all-stars Ronnie and Georgia
00:39were replaced by the real new contestants,
00:42sisters Maddie and Charlotte.
00:44And they have a secret weapon.
00:46They're property flippers.
00:48I know that this is not your first rodeo.
00:50No. No.
00:51We don't want anyone else to know.
00:53Straight away, they encountered the unique challenges of the block.
00:56What's the goal with last ring?
00:58Is because Jessie and Paige are now gone,
01:00we said we'd love if Brendan could work with us.
01:03So, like, one of the things, obviously, on the block
01:05is you sort of have to find all your trades.
01:07Tonight, the sisters fight battles on all fronts.
01:10OK. You can do anything. Yeah.
01:12Just talk to me and I'll tell you if we can achieve it or if we can't.
01:15Yeah, I appreciate that. I don't care what you want to do.
01:17Grand cops are served from yours truly.
01:20It's unfair to the other teams,
01:22so that is almost paramount to cheating.
01:25And plaster panic sets in.
01:27They are at plasterers. Get them back.
01:29You're going to leave me high and dry.
01:41Friday, we've got a lot of stuff happening,
01:44so we're going to have a really busy day.
01:47Yep, the teams have a massive amount of work ahead of them.
01:53Their main bedroom and walk-in robes all have soaring ceilings
01:56and an average footprint of 30 square metres.
02:00Which still need to be sheeted, painted, furnished and styled.
02:04All before Sunday's reveal in less than 50 hours' time.
02:08Guys, have a great day. Enjoy. Thank you very much.
02:13And because Monday was a public holiday,
02:15it's a shorter week for the biggest room that requires the most trades.
02:20What a time to throw the new kids on the block into the deep end.
02:24It's a little bit crazy because we had a challenge yesterday
02:27and then the first day we only came through like halfway through the day.
02:30So we need to sheet the rest of the room and down the hallway
02:34and then do all the externals on the angles
02:37and then set hopefully maybe two coats of set today.
02:42And then I have to go shopping for the first time.
02:45And it's Friday. Is it Friday? Yeah.
02:48So I need to get all the linen, all the cushions,
02:51or everything really.
02:53We do have investment properties we bought when we were younger
02:57and we have renovated them.
02:59But I've never styled a room
03:01and I've never designed a multi-million dollar property in a week.
03:05Welcome to the block, ladies.
03:10Of all the houses so far,
03:12Kylie and Brad's main bedroom and walk-in robe is the most advanced.
03:16Yeah, we're going not too bad.
03:18We've got to finish the base and then top the plaster.
03:22We're going to finish our cladding.
03:24The door's going in.
03:26Are you going to make it to the finish line?
03:28Are you going to get there? We're going to get there.
03:30But we're going to definitely be sleep-deprived by the time we get there.
03:34It's going to be a push.
03:37In house three, the plasterers are also hard at work.
03:41We're definitely not where we hoped to be,
03:43but I think we're still on track to get our plastering finished,
03:47hopefully get it dried so we're painting early tomorrow.
03:50But plastering is not so straightforward for houses one and five.
03:55When Jesse and Paige left, we were sharing the same plasterer
03:59and I thought it would be fair to keep sharing them for one more week.
04:04The understanding was that Brendan, he was going to come in with a team.
04:08He's got about four or five people that are inducted and work with him
04:11and then we're going to do both houses.
04:14But today, Brendan's crew is just himself and one other plasterer,
04:18which is not enough to do the plastering in house five, let alone house one,
04:23leaving the sisters in a precarious position.
04:28Have we sorted out the plastering scenario?
04:30No.
04:31I think we're going to have two boys.
04:33So I haven't seen them yet. Have you seen them?
04:35No.
04:36Please come. I really hope so.
04:38Otherwise, if they don't get that done today, then...
04:40No chance, yeah.
04:41The whole situation was a bit of a schmuzzle.
04:43My understanding was that we were sharing the plasterers,
04:46but I think their alliance went more with house five over us.
04:52And Charlotte's right.
04:53While she hangs chiprock alone,
04:55Brendan's team of one is very busy in house five.
04:59We had one guy doing the top coat
05:00and he said he was going to struggle to finish.
05:02Do you think only one's going to get done tonight?
05:04None of them are going to get done. He's right.
05:05Really?
05:06Now Christian's regretting the agreement
05:08to share the plastering team.
05:10I was trying to be too nice,
05:12and I should have just said to you,
05:13look, if you can't do theirs, just let me know
05:15and I'll make the hard decision to let them know
05:17that we're not going to finish your house.
05:22I have to find a plasterer ASAP
05:24because our carpenters have told us
05:26if we don't find someone to come this afternoon,
05:28then we will not finish, and that's not going to happen.
05:34Hello?
05:35Hi, my name's Maddie.
05:37I'm a contestant of The Block this year,
05:39and I was wondering if you happen to be available
05:42or interested in doing some plastering work for us?
05:48Right, not really.
05:50No worries.
05:54I've called, like, every plasterer unknown to man
05:57at this point, and everyone,
05:58as soon as they hear Phillip Island, is like, see ya.
06:02So, yeah.
06:04In house two, Courtney and Grant are hoping
06:06their ambitious room will score them their second ever win.
06:10As you enter, we've got a big curved ceiling
06:14through the hallway,
06:15which is a lot of intricate detail
06:18as it flows down into the walls as well.
06:20The hallway leads past the walk-in robe to the bedroom,
06:23where there's a Velux skylight, a gigantic bed,
06:27a herringbone floor and an inset fireplace.
06:32We may have bitten off a bit more than we can chew
06:35in terms of detail.
06:36It's a big job.
06:37Yeah, it's a big job.
06:38But we have got a bigger team this week with our plasterers,
06:41so we are hoping to put a bit of extra money into labour
06:45to then get the job done.
06:47With six plasterers, it's the biggest team on The Block,
06:50and they'll need every last one of them
06:52if they're going to have any hope of finishing.
06:56Did the girls have a chat to you this morning?
06:58Oh, they chatted to us last night,
07:00so whether they want to help afterwards,
07:02is that what you're referring to?
07:04Yeah.
07:05Prefer not to share teams?
07:07Yeah.
07:08We won't have time.
07:09I've got a good plastering team.
07:10I want to keep it that way.
07:11Maybe go tell them that,
07:12because I think they're hoping.
07:13Yeah, I'll go have a chat to them.
07:14Yeah.
07:19Hello.
07:20Hello, how are you going?
07:21Good.
07:22Are you up on the plasterers?
07:23Yeah, I'm up on the plasterers.
07:24No good.
07:25No good?
07:26No good.
07:27They're going to be in ours pretty much all day.
07:28OK.
07:29They're actually going to plaster
07:30one side of the ceiling first,
07:31and then they're going to move across
07:32while the flooring guys do what they need to do
07:34and work on the other side.
07:35It's going to be a bit of chaos.
07:36Bummer.
07:37Bummer.
07:38Thanks so much for asking.
07:39No worries.
07:40Appreciate it.
07:41No worries.
07:42Thanks.
07:44I was going around stressing.
07:49Knock, knock.
07:50Whoa.
07:53Are they here?
07:54Kylie and Brad?
07:55They both out?
07:57Are you a plasterer?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Do you want to maybe come to our house after?
08:01How much more work do you have to do?
08:04I'm going to help you up in here for light.
08:09Do you have any recommendation for plasterers?
08:11Not really, hey.
08:13With no plasterers,
08:14the sisters have resorted to builder Zach
08:16and his chippies hanging the chiprock.
08:19Not ideal, but perhaps it's the perfect time
08:22to check in on our blockheads.
08:24Oh, sure.
08:25You beat me to work.
08:26I did.
08:27Can you believe it?
08:28There you go.
08:29And I even got you a brekkie.
08:30Cup of tea.
08:31All sorted.
08:32Thank you very much.
08:33Hey, how much do you know about the girls in House 1?
08:35Obviously, they've come in on a whim.
08:37I know plenty about them.
08:38Right.
08:39And you're going to be very interested
08:40to hear their background.
08:41Yeah, I'm very, very intrigued.
08:43Because anyone who can just drop their life like that
08:46and land here?
08:4722 and 24, and they have a very big secret weapon.
08:51Got to find out what that is.
08:52Yes.
08:56Awesome.
08:57And then we also have 16K there.
08:59Check this out.
09:00Hey, ladies.
09:01Oh, hi.
09:02How are you doing?
09:03Nice to see you.
09:04Shelly, so nice.
09:05And we've, like, grown up, like, watching her
09:07on, like, all the different shows.
09:09And so, like, it feels, like, so surreal.
09:11I want to know what mid-20-somethings could
09:15just drop their lives, jump on a plane,
09:18and land here and start renovating within a day.
09:20Wait for it, Shell.
09:21Here it comes.
09:22Well, we actually work for ourselves.
09:24We flip properties.
09:25Oh, no.
09:26Oh, OK.
09:27Well, thank you very much.
09:29How many properties have you done so far?
09:31We've renovated four.
09:32Three are still going at the moment.
09:34So how old are you?
09:3524.
09:36And 22.
09:37Oh, my God.
09:38This is great.
09:39We actually are managing stuff at home as well.
09:42Like this?
09:43Like in your own block?
09:44Not to the extreme of this, because we
09:46don't have that much money yet.
09:47This is crazy.
09:48It's a different market.
09:49Like, we're appealing to people that can only
09:51spend $800,000 or a million, not millions
09:53and millions.
09:54All right.
09:55But how did you even get into that?
09:56You would have been just children.
09:58Yeah.
09:59I was 19, wasn't I?
10:01Yeah, 19.
10:02I was 21.
10:03And we've been saving for a house deposit
10:04since we were, like, literal kids.
10:06Our dad's a mortgage broker.
10:07And he said, this is your bank.
10:09Start putting your money in here and see it grow.
10:11And so, yeah, we finished high school with house deposit.
10:13Finished high school with roughly how much coin?
10:16Do we want to say?
10:17Do we want to say?
10:20It would be close to, like, what?
10:23$100,000.
10:24$70,000 to $100,000.
10:25Oh, my god.
10:26I'm going to cry.
10:27This is ridiculous.
10:28Cheryl.
10:29This is so empowering.
10:31Even if you never went into this,
10:33your parents have done such an incredible job
10:35setting you up for whatever you want to do
10:37to your inspiration.
10:38That's amazing.
10:39Amazing, isn't it?
10:40That is amazing.
10:41You realize that no one has ever done what you're doing.
10:44You've come in a month in.
10:46Someone's already built some of the house.
10:48You've hit the ground running.
10:49You're midweek.
10:50If anyone can do this, it's you two.
10:53Well, I hope so.
10:54Time will tell.
10:55OK, so what do you think of all of this, then?
10:57You've got your spreadsheet up here.
10:58And I'm also guessing that this may not be the house
11:02that you'll want to go to auction with.
11:03So there might be some middlemen dudes along the way
11:06if we have to budget for those as well.
11:08I mean, Jessie and Paige did a beautiful job.
11:10I haven't seen this room.
11:11It's gorgeous.
11:12It's such a beautiful home.
11:13I know they were saying it's modern colonial.
11:14But I'm like, it's just not us.
11:16Us.
11:17I would describe our style as, like, coastal luxe.
11:19That room's going to be an actual shambles.
11:21Some of it was ordered by Georgia.
11:22Then I've come in and been like,
11:23oh, I don't really know if I like that.
11:25But it's kind of too late because it's already ordered
11:27and the wallpaper's already coming.
11:28I ring up.
11:29I'm like, can I change it?
11:30And they're like, no.
11:31And I'm like, dang it.
11:32And then I actually not use it.
11:33Can you just put it?
11:34Should we go down and have a look?
11:35Yeah.
11:36Should we go down and have a look?
11:37Yeah.
11:38All right.
11:39We need your advice.
11:40In their main bedroom, Georgia's design
11:41is a modern colonial theme established by Jesse and Paige.
11:45Rust-coloured chairs and striped wallpaper feature.
11:48This is the wallpaper, which I don't really love.
11:51I love this.
11:53See, Ronnie and George have chosen.
11:55I don't like any of it.
11:56No, no, no.
11:57This is not screaming coastal luxe.
11:59Just remember, Ronnie and George,
12:01the last time they did the block, they came last.
12:03You're going to get us into trouble.
12:04No.
12:05I like what you're doing.
12:06Georgia has created this beautiful room, right?
12:07OK.
12:08I don't, like, it's not my style.
12:10But I'm like, am I going to, like, flop even more
12:12if I try and, like, so last minute, change something?
12:14Are we, like, risking not even finishing it?
12:16Yeah, but stripes for me is just not cool in it.
12:18Don't do it.
12:19What I would have liked to have done
12:21is some sort of, like, v-groove panelling on the back wall.
12:24Which are just sheets.
12:25No, we can't because we have to noggin.
12:26I don't think we're allowed to because of the metal.
12:28I don't know.
12:29We have to check that.
12:30I'm scared to talk to the carpenter.
12:31He's going to bite my head off.
12:32How do you run your carpenter's backhoe?
12:33We have a relationship, like, over three years.
12:36We, like, run the show and, like, he's, yeah, not intimidating.
12:40He's here working for you.
12:41You employ him.
12:42You pay him for his hours.
12:43He does what you want him to do.
12:44You're in charge.
12:45So, you've got two choices.
12:46Yes.
12:47Rip it apart, do your own thing,
12:48stick to what Georgia did and not like it anymore.
12:50What would you do?
12:51I think, at this point,
12:52we probably can't rip out the whole room of plaster,
12:55but at least do a feature wall so I can get rid of the wallpaper.
13:00So, Georgia's wallpaper is out, replaced by hardy-groove panelling.
13:04Leave the colour scheme becoming a more coastal beige and sage.
13:08I'm meant to be going shopping today to get everything
13:11and I'm like, I don't even know what I'm looking for
13:13because I'm, like, everything's so off in the air.
13:15How about we go shopping?
13:16Yes.
13:17Yes?
13:18Yes.
13:19I could cry.
13:20We have experience renovating on a smaller scale.
13:23We haven't had, like, a lot of experience in design.
13:26So not confident when it comes to styling.
13:29If you don't start doing your style now...
13:32It's never going to happen.
13:33It's never going to happen.
13:35But they kind of gave us the confidence
13:36to just stick with the guns of what we want to do.
13:38Yeah.
13:39And start from scratch.
13:41Boom, boom.
13:42I'll talk to Zach on the way out the door.
13:43Yeah, OK, you can talk.
13:44He got this.
13:45Let's go, Shell.
13:46It's chaotic.
13:47This is awesome.
13:49I'm going to flip this on its head.
13:50We might not finish, but we're going to push to the end.
13:54Coming up, Shell,
13:55I don't know if you've met the new host of the block, Grumpy.
13:57I get grumpy with Grumpy.
13:59That is not allowed to happen ever again.
14:02Oh, my God!
14:04And he cops a special kind of punishment.
14:07An hour-and-a-half drive there, an hour-and-a-half drive back.
14:10Really made the wrong decision.
14:11While plaster pressure ramps up...
14:14Where's Sam?
14:15You are the heroes of the day!
14:17While we're letting other teams borrow, our plaster is caught.
14:20Can we just get the whole team back in there?
14:22I feel like it's going to be enough.
14:31Thanks to a mammoth effort from both Charlotte and their build team,
14:39the new kids in House 1 finally have gyprock on the walls.
14:43Now they need plasters to do the base coat and top coat today.
14:47So the girls can sand the walls, paint,
14:50and finish their room in the next 46 hours.
14:53On top of that,
14:54they have decided to completely change the design of their room,
14:58starting with Georgia's wallpaper choice.
15:02First of all, I need to work out noggins, if that's even possible,
15:05because if we rip off gyprock...
15:06And then James Hardy, we need to talk contact
15:08to see if they can actually come today.
15:10OK, I'm going to ring this number.
15:12Please, please, please work.
15:15As much as Georgia and Ronnie's design was so beautiful,
15:18it just wasn't me.
15:19Please answer.
15:21You have reached the message bank.
15:24I feel confident that I can do a better job at executing my style
15:29than executing someone else's, but it's Friday.
15:33They have a lot of questions.
15:35The person who can answer one of them is Aiden,
15:38site manager for 9 and 6.
15:40We've had a bit of a last-minute panic change
15:44and realised that the room that Ronnie and Georgia
15:46planned, while it's beautiful...
15:47Oh, here comes our builder.
15:50It's beautiful, it's modern, colonial,
15:53and we're trying to move away from that.
15:55I want to put a James Hardy product over gyprock,
16:00but I don't know if we can do that.
16:01Hardy groove or something.
16:02Hardy groove, yep.
16:03There's no reason we probably can't glue it to the plaster
16:06and we'll come up with a fixing detail.
16:08We'll have to put some screws through into the studs.
16:12Yeah, I think it's doable.
16:13How quickly can you get it?
16:15I think you should ring Mitre 10 and talk to Barry...
16:18Is he still here?
16:19I think he's got some product at Mitre 10.
16:22OK, let's go talk to Barry.
16:23So I'd go talk to Barry.
16:25Do you happen to have some of the James Hardy V-groove in stock?
16:31Yes, we do.
16:32Could you have that delivered to us ASAP?
16:35Awesome, I can do that.
16:36Amazing, you're the best.
16:38Thanks, Barry, appreciate it.
16:39All right, guys, take care.
16:40Thanks.
16:41Wow.
16:43OK, so gyprock's staying.
16:46Righty-o, time to continue on this week's walkarounds.
16:50Ah.
16:51Hello.
16:52Shell, I don't know if you've met the new host of the block, Grumpy.
16:56He's making all the decisions now.
16:57He is indeed.
16:58Am I?
16:59Is that the word on the street, is it?
17:01You showed us yesterday when you just decided
17:03you weren't going to come to a challenge.
17:05Where's Grumpy?
17:06He's working.
17:07What?
17:08He's part of the build team.
17:11Who's running this show, Grumpy or me?
17:14Me.
17:19That is not allowed to happen ever again.
17:21That is not allowed.
17:22It's your obligation to come to the challenge.
17:24Number one, because I said so.
17:28And number two, it's unfair to the other teams.
17:32You're here, working on your bedroom, winning 10,000 bucks,
17:36while they've left their bedroom back at the challenge.
17:39So that is almost paramount to cheating.
17:42I disagree in the fact that we would not have plaster up on the walls
17:46if I didn't stick around.
17:47But everyone else is in the same boat, Grant.
17:49Yes.
17:50They had to leave site.
17:51You were meant to leave site, so it's an even playing field.
17:55They're all struggling to get plaster on the walls as well.
17:58Yours are set.
17:59Next door's not set.
18:00And if you win this week, how filthy are your mates going to be?
18:03Well, not mates going to be.
18:05You had an extra day.
18:07How about you just have a little time out with me for a couple of hours
18:11shopping?
18:13We can move on.
18:14We can move on.
18:15All right.
18:16I'll come and get you later.
18:17We got in trouble.
18:18So Shelly was going to take him out this afternoon as a bit of punishment.
18:21It won't happen again.
18:22No, definitely not.
18:23But do you have any regrets?
18:25I plead the fifth.
18:28Grant and Courtney are adding plenty of luxurious inclusions this week
18:32to create their modern Mediterranean bedroom and walk-in row.
18:36Look at this.
18:37That bed is beautiful.
18:39Where's that from?
18:40So that's from the block shop.
18:41Look at that velvet, green velvet, like ruching.
18:44Ruching around the edge.
18:45The mattress is inset.
18:47And then you've got the-
18:48Oh, this velvet cushion.
18:49Sit around the outside.
18:51It's the best fit for, like, king and queen.
18:53Oh, I love it.
18:54Wow.
18:55Now, the budget is $16,000 for this room.
18:57The plaster bill alone is going to be absolutely enormous.
19:01We're going to be over-owned, so.
19:03You're going to be a molar.
19:04But we saved the last two weeks.
19:06I saw your plasters out there.
19:07Get the curves ready.
19:09You've got so much painting to do, haven't you?
19:10Yeah.
19:11Yeah.
19:12We still don't know if we're going to finish.
19:14There's no doubt there'll be one of our biggest pushes to the finish line.
19:16Well, choppity-chop-chop, hey?
19:18Yeah.
19:19Yeah, let's go, Shel.
19:20No, don't do it.
19:21Hey, um-
19:23Be prepared.
19:24Shel will pick you up sometime.
19:25Because I'm very strict.
19:26Very stern.
19:28Also going all out this week, in the hope of a win,
19:31a Ricky and Hayden in-house tree.
19:34And here we are.
19:35God, these are big spaces.
19:37Absolutely love the scalloped doors in the walk-in wardrobe.
19:41What are you doing?
19:43That's great.
19:44We've stepped it up, mate.
19:45This is cool, too.
19:46I like this.
19:47And what's that going to be?
19:48A feature?
19:49It's a mirror.
19:50It's a mirror?
19:51It's a giant mirror.
19:52It is not a mirror.
19:54And what are you going to put up there?
19:55Stars or something like that?
19:56Or what are you doing?
19:57Stars are here, mate.
19:59This mystery feature is a coffin ceiling with LED lights.
20:03For a holiday resort feel, there's a port-a-timber bedhead
20:06and a palm-tree grafico print.
20:08So we wanted to do something a bit grand, obviously,
20:10being the main bed.
20:11So we didn't just want to have a big flat ceiling.
20:15A lot has gone down this week.
20:16Yeah, it's been massive.
20:17Crazy.
20:18First, obviously, Jesse and Paige leaving.
20:20Then Ronnie and George are showing up.
20:22So then Ronnie and George are left.
20:24Yep.
20:25And Maddie and Charlotte turned up.
20:26And did you spend any time with them?
20:28We didn't meet them until the challenge day.
20:29We didn't even know anyone was here.
20:31We're now the last.
20:32Who's here?
20:33We don't check our mail.
20:34So we're just doing our thing here in House 3,
20:36and apparently those girls moved in 24 hours later.
20:39We found out about it.
20:40There's two new girls living in House 1.
20:41Welcome.
20:42No idea.
20:43No worries.
20:44Righto, come on, let's go, Cheryl.
20:45See you, boys.
20:46All right, thanks, guys.
20:47See you later.
20:48We are in a different world down at the bottom end of the block.
20:52Right now we're just focusing on ourselves.
20:54We don't check the mail.
20:55We know nothing.
20:56Well, not checking your emails can be a big problem on the block.
21:00So when we had our consult with Flooring Extra,
21:04we wanted the floorboards to go through from the hallway into the master
21:08and then have carpet through the walk-in robe.
21:10But we did get a confirmation email
21:12just saying what the understanding was of the flooring through the house,
21:17and I just missed it.
21:19Yeah, do you want me to resend you that email
21:21where I'd send a summary of what you've hit?
21:24No, it's all good.
21:25All right.
21:26Thanks, Ricky.
21:27No worries.
21:28Have a good day.
21:30Yo.
21:31Did you know that there's carpet going in the master in the main bedroom?
21:35We thought we had boards the whole way through.
21:37It's definitely mentioned in the email.
21:39It says carpets have been stored in master and walk-in,
21:42bedroom one, two, and upstairs bed.
21:44I don't like that.
21:45Nah, it's pretty f***ed up.
21:47Too late to change it?
21:48I don't know.
21:51He's calling us straight from Flooring Expert Commercial.
21:54I can't take the call right now.
21:55If you leave a name, number and brief message,
21:57I'll return the call shortly.
21:59Like Maddie and Charlotte in house one,
22:02Ricky and Hayden are now changing a major aspect of their room
22:06with less than 45 hours till room reveal.
22:12Earlier today, Maddie revealed some communication problems
22:15with their builder, Zach.
22:17I'm scared to talk to the carpenter.
22:19He's going to bite my head off.
22:20How do you run your carpenter's backhoe?
22:22We have a relationship.
22:23He's, yeah, not intimidating.
22:25We'll talk to Zach on the way out the door.
22:27Yeah.
22:28Hey, Zach.
22:29Listen, the girls are slightly intimidated by you guys.
22:32They're a bit nervous about asking you to do a change or anything like that.
22:38So just work with them, OK?
22:40Why are they nervous?
22:41They won't change it. It's fine.
22:42Tell me what you want and I'll do it.
22:43Yeah, great, great, great, great.
22:45I don't know what the problem is.
22:46No, there's no problem.
22:47But clearly there is a problem.
22:49In future, instead of sh**ing me on camera with Scotty and Shelley,
22:53if you've got a problem or something,
22:55or if, you know, just come to me straight and talk to me,
22:58I'm not, you don't have to be intimidated.
23:01I can work with you.
23:03Yeah, we just didn't want to, like,
23:04we obviously know that it screws you over and, oh,
23:06like the carpenters are not going to be thrilled about that.
23:08Look, I don't give a sh** what you want to do.
23:10You can do anything, right?
23:11Yeah.
23:12Just talk to me and I'll tell you if we can achieve it or if we can't.
23:14Yeah, I appreciate that.
23:15I don't care what you want to do.
23:16Just don't sh** me on TV or else I'll just call the pin and walk off.
23:19We said you were good builders and stuff.
23:21No, your work is, like, we cannot fault that.
23:24The difference is, between us and everyone else here,
23:26is we sh** live here and we work here.
23:28No, we...
23:29If we get sh** on TV here, my work's gone.
23:32It's very hard to run a work site
23:34and to have authority when you feel out of your depth.
23:38Obviously being new and overwhelmed
23:39and confused about the whole situation,
23:41and you're trying not to piss people off because you need them.
23:47WHISTLE BLOWS
23:50Which contestants do you think are creating a winning room this week?
23:54To cast your vote, all you have to do is head to the Block website now.
23:58And while you're there,
23:59don't forget to check out all of our amazing room galleries.
24:12Whoa, hello.
24:14Hello.
24:15Oh, hello.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Love that.
24:18Oh, you do?
24:19Yes.
24:20I'm glad to hear it.
24:21Carly and Brad's Japanese charred timber feature wall is a showstopper.
24:25But not the only one.
24:26There's gilded wallpaper on the ceiling,
24:28which continues through into the open-shelled walk-in rug.
24:34Now, do you approve of the new contestants?
24:36Yes, we've met the new contestants.
24:37What about if they win? Are you going to stay or leave?
24:40No, I'll stay.
24:41Oh!
24:42I just was a bit threatened by Roddy and Georgia,
24:44like, we're taking over.
24:45And I was like, hold on.
24:47What's going on?
24:48I'm not happy.
24:49Well, you're not happy about what?
24:50It's a competition.
24:51Did they say that?
24:52Yeah.
24:53Did they say that?
24:54Yes.
24:55Oh, my goodness.
24:56I was a bit like, oh.
24:57I think she was still a bit emotional after the whole thing.
24:59Yeah.
25:00It was a big, big couple of days.
25:02It was a really hard week, there's no doubt on everybody,
25:05because Jessie and Paige were loved.
25:07And you're a really tight-knit bunch.
25:09Yeah.
25:10It's the Block.
25:11You've got to take those things and move forward.
25:13Not move forward to the airport.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Like you threatened to.
25:18Go cranky at me on the phone.
25:19Just trying to talk you in.
25:21Can I say, I just walked past last week's room,
25:23which is gorgeous.
25:24Yes.
25:26Where was the penguin?
25:28The winner of week four on the Block is, by half a point,
25:33Christian and Mimi.
25:35Last week, Carly and Brad would have won
25:38if only they'd played their one-point penguin.
25:42Yeah, look, I didn't want to use the penguin.
25:44Not yet.
25:45We'll save it.
25:46A win's a win's a win.
25:47Ten grand, ten grand, ten grand.
25:49No, I know, but it was like we were equal third at the time,
25:52and I didn't personally think we would have made it
25:55even using the penguin.
25:56Because you know if you play it, it gets the penguins back in play.
25:59Yeah.
26:00So then you just bring it back.
26:01I don't want to give it to someone else yet.
26:03Well, it won't be happening again.
26:04If there's another shot at it,
26:05it's going whether she likes it or not.
26:07There you go.
26:08And you know what's going to happen?
26:09If half of Brad will play it, it will lose still by half a point.
26:14I want a true win.
26:15I just want a win like Mimi and Christian
26:17where I don't have to use my penguin yet.
26:20We'll be playing the penguin if we get close enough.
26:29As this week's main bedrooms are slowly taking shape,
26:32deliveries are coming thick and fast.
26:36My bed's here!
26:37From Japan to your state.
26:39Thanks, Step and John.
26:42Oh, yeah, lovely.
26:43That's not ours.
26:45It's the world's biggest bed.
26:47Wouldn't want to drop it.
26:50This is... None of this is ours.
26:52Well, this one is,
26:54because Maddie and Charlotte's last-minute order
26:56of Hardy Groove from Mitre 10
26:58will become a feature wall in their redesigned coastal luxe room.
27:03Wow, Barry, you are a legend.
27:05And a lifesaver.
27:06Got it? Yeah.
27:10It's heavy, hey?
27:16In house five, Christian and Mimi will be very happy
27:19with their very special delivery,
27:21the Hayflue wardrobe upgrade.
27:23Part of their prize package for last week's second bedroom win,
27:27along with a vintage Gucci dress and earrings,
27:30which will no doubt take pride of place in their walk-in robe
27:34that opens onto the main bedroom.
27:38Well, excuse me.
27:40Who had this sitting on their doorstep?
27:43This is, of course, last week's win.
27:46What's in the box?
27:47I've got a few little goodies.
27:49It's very groovy stuff.
27:51This is my favourite thing.
27:52It is!
27:53Leather coat hangers, I love them.
27:55$300.
27:56$300 for a coat hanger?
27:59And how many have you got, do you know?
28:00A few.
28:01Well, you actually only need one.
28:02Yeah, for the Gucci.
28:03For the fabulous Gucci outfit, don't you?
28:05I don't have anything to hang on a thing worth $300.
28:08You've got your $50 shirt on your $300 coat hanger.
28:12Yeah.
28:13These wardrobes, the kinsmen, look outstanding.
28:17And I love this space.
28:19It's attached and it's open and it's big.
28:21Yeah, to open up the space, I find it very luxurious.
28:26The bedroom will feature a port-a-timber wall,
28:28wave-inspired bedhead and a palette of yellow, ochre and cream.
28:33I've got a new name for Mimi, Million Dollar Mimi.
28:36Because she's spending like a millionaire.
28:39Your budget's alright because you're winning plenty of money, right?
28:42But wow, can you spend.
28:44Is she like this at home?
28:45Yes.
28:47There's a new box every single day getting delivered.
28:50But I'm actually doing really well on the block.
28:51Really well?
28:52I'm decisive and I know exactly what I want.
28:53I'm not buying it just for the sake of it.
28:55And I've been on budget.
28:56I'm taking one of the new girls shopping later
29:00just to show them where to go and what's around.
29:03Would you like to come?
29:04Yeah.
29:05Okay, cool.
29:06Sounds good.
29:07Fair enough.
29:08I'm taking everyone out.
29:09Hey, have a great time.
29:10And the transport that you're going in.
29:13Do I get to take your car?
29:15No.
29:16It's better than that.
29:17Is it?
29:18Is it a helicopter?
29:19No.
29:20It's better than that.
29:21Love.
29:22I'll see you later.
29:23Sounds good.
29:25See you, guys.
29:28Today, one member from each team
29:30has volunteered to go shopping with Shelley.
29:32However, Grumpy has no such say in the matter.
29:35I'm making him go due to his lack of attendance
29:38at yesterday's challenge.
29:39I was thinking, okay, maybe we're all just going to go
29:41in a little mini van and we'll just hang out.
29:43But no.
29:46The block doesn't do things in half.
29:48Oh!
29:49Oh!
29:55Shelley and Jack from Freedom rolled out.
29:58Welcome aboard.
29:59The Lux Coach, otherwise known as Shelley's Party Bus.
30:02Yes!
30:03Back in the city!
30:04It's literally a bar on wheels.
30:10Yeah.
30:11Cheers!
30:17Well, I guess it's always five o'clock somewhere.
30:21So how does an hour of freedom with freedom sound?
30:25Sounds good.
30:26Sounds good?
30:27Shop like demons.
30:28But then I am going to chuck in a little mini challenge
30:31with 5,000 cash.
30:32Oh, my God.
30:33Is it worth the ride now?
30:36I thought we were just going on a local trip.
30:38I thought we were just going on a local trip.
30:40No, it was to Frankston.
30:42Freedom.
30:43An hour and a half away.
30:44What's the challenge?
30:45You'll find out when you get there, guys.
30:47I thought we were there and back in an hour.
30:49An hour and a half drive there, an hour and a half drive back.
30:53Probably two hours in store.
30:55We're not going to be back till 8 o'clock.
30:57Really made the wrong decision.
31:03Everyone's like, oh, yeah, we're going to do a challenge.
31:05I'm like, this is fun,
31:06but I actually have to shop tonight.
31:08Look, it's empty.
31:10This might be the last time I get to shop this week.
31:13And halt.
31:16Now, as I mentioned on the bus,
31:18you will have an hour of freedom with freedom
31:21to shop for whatever you need for your homes whilst we're here.
31:25But first, let's win some money, hey?
31:27Yes.
31:28Yes?
31:29All right, there's $5,000 on the line.
31:31What are we going to do, Jack?
31:32I think we might sell some beds.
31:35Why not? That's a great idea.
31:38I don't even think you've made a bed in your life.
31:48One half of our couples are at freedom
31:50to compete in a bed-styling challenge.
31:53Not really Grumpy's area of expertise.
31:57Are you ready, set, go for $5,000?
31:59$5,000!
32:03Ooh, ooh, ah, hold on.
32:05No, no, no.
32:06What size are we doing, queen or king?
32:09Queen?
32:10We were made to style a bed in the space of 10 minutes.
32:13Get out of my way.
32:14Is it queen? Did you say queen? Yeah?
32:16Five minutes to find all your linen
32:18and you have five minutes to style the bed itself.
32:21I don't know what I'm getting here.
32:23And then set.
32:24It was a mad rush and I got the wrong one.
32:26I got a queen instead of a king
32:28and I'm throwing stuff everywhere.
32:30You're doing that colour. I'm not going to do that colour.
32:33Kylie's putting on a fitted sheet.
32:35Nice work, Kylie. Moving fast.
32:37I have children. This is it.
32:39You make the beds like this every day, don't you?
32:41Yeah.
32:44You all good?
32:45Hey, olive for the two feature pillows, yeah?
32:48If you're going to have olive as a coverlet
32:50and you've got terracotta underneath.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Olive euro cushion.
32:54Olive euro, yeah?
32:56What's a European pillow? Is it the one at the front?
32:59I don't know.
33:00God, honey.
33:01And what about feature cushions?
33:03What are you doing calling?
33:05I'm getting help.
33:06No, you can't be getting help. Give me your phone.
33:08OK, apparently I can't talk to you. Bye.
33:10Hang up.
33:11All right, bye.
33:12I didn't know I couldn't get help.
33:14Again, the rules aren't clear like yesterday.
33:16The rules are pretty straightforward, I would have thought.
33:18No cheating.
33:19Guys, am I cheating? I don't feel like I am.
33:23Three minutes to go.
33:26No, we need more time.
33:28$5,000.
33:30Teams, I give you permission to take off any of the cushions
33:33on any bedspread, anything you see.
33:38Oh, here he goes, he's taking the fitted sheet, that's it.
33:46No!
33:47Oh, I had it the wrong way.
33:49I'm getting stuck.
33:51We can steal from any bed, can't we?
33:53That's it.
33:54Oh, no, don't use it!
33:56Oh, wait, wait, wait.
33:57Sorry, I genuinely thought that was me.
33:59Grant, here's some pillows.
34:00Grant, here you go. Here's some pillows.
34:0330 seconds.
34:0710 seconds.
34:09I'm puffing.
34:10Three, two, one.
34:14Yeah!
34:15Boom!
34:16Team's down.
34:17Team's down.
34:19Team's down.
34:20Oh, God, I need aircon.
34:22Kylie, she is so good.
34:25I looked at her bed because she was right next to me.
34:27I'm like, how do you do this?
34:30Great efforts also from Maddie, Hayden and Mimi,
34:33but Grumpy's not so thrilled with his creation.
34:37Everything was just flopping on it.
34:39Oh, that's sad.
34:41It was a sad-looking bed.
34:44Well, that was fun.
34:45That was.
34:46That was fun.
34:47Thank you for playing the game.
34:49The winner of the bedroom styling challenge is...
34:56Kylie.
35:00Congratulations, Kylie.
35:02Five grand worth the party bus ride.
35:04Wow.
35:05100%.
35:06I think it was the speed that got me the win.
35:09I have to do it quick at home because you've got to make it
35:11before the kids want to destroy it.
35:12Thank you again for playing.
35:13You now have an hour of freedom.
35:15Yeah.
35:16With freedom.
35:17Yay.
35:18Drop your little hearts out.
35:25Definitely need a rug.
35:26I want it to be soft.
35:28I needed to buy linen, cushions, all the styling bits involved.
35:32I had the biggest pile of stuff there.
35:34The poor girls were like, oh, my goodness.
35:36But, yeah, it's been fun.
35:40Hey, we've got an hour to shop at Freedom.
35:42Is there anything you want?
35:43You want an hour to shop in Freedom?
35:45Yeah.
35:46Come back.
35:47We're not allowed to come back.
35:48We're not allowed to come back.
35:49It's not my choice.
35:50This part, definitely a punishment.
35:51Without a doubt.
35:52This is not me.
35:55Back at the block, Maddie and Charlotte's walls are only
35:58partially base coated.
36:00That's because the plastering team they're sharing
36:02are at Christian's place.
36:04And so I somewhat understand the plasterer's situation
36:07because he's trying to please two parties.
36:09But in reality, he actually has a far better relationship
36:13with House 5 because he knows them.
36:15Christian also needs to get his room done
36:17and he has probably more leverage.
36:19Is it going to fit?
36:21Up on the vertical.
36:22With Christian's room pretty much done,
36:24he's got the plasterers helping with his 40 winks delivery.
36:32Over at House 2, there's plasterers galore
36:35and they're just sitting around.
36:37We've got herringbone flooring going in our main,
36:40which is just super tedious, very time consuming.
36:42They basically had to start with the herringbone floor
36:45to go right down the centre and then basically
36:47work their way out.
36:48No trade to come in then.
36:49We had six plasterers just basically on standby.
36:52Now look, I was just next door.
36:54Yeah?
36:55And there's about six plasterers that are sitting down
36:58with nothing to do for an hour, hour and a half.
37:00Them?
37:01I said maybe I should go and talk to them again.
37:02I reckon.
37:03Plead your case.
37:04OK.
37:07We're going to get them.
37:08You boys look so bored.
37:10Would you like something to do?
37:12Would you think of maybe coming over for a little bit
37:15to give us a hand?
37:16Please?
37:17We're so behind already and we're just fanging
37:19to get back in there to keep going so we can get it finished.
37:22Are you just waiting for it to dry?
37:23No, we're waiting.
37:24The floorers have kicked us out.
37:26But even if it's like half an hour,
37:28any minute will be so helpful to us.
37:30I'd rather be moving than sitting here.
37:32So I was like, perfect.
37:33Even if you come for 15 minutes, half an hour,
37:36we were just desperate.
37:37You are the heroes of the day.
37:40Welcome to our humble abode.
37:43Have we got all six of you?
37:45Well, we've got nothing else to do for an hour.
37:47Oh, boys, the legends are here.
37:50They're coming to save the day.
37:52We so appreciate you boys.
37:54Yeah.
37:56Oh, is that Jai?
37:58Where's Sam?
37:59I went into the room for like two seconds.
38:01They all went to one.
38:02But they still had stuff to do here.
38:04They still had stuff to do here.
38:05Like one of the girls, they just basically
38:07grabbed the plasterers because they were sitting around.
38:09Why are we letting other teams borrow our plasterers, Cor?
38:11Can we just get the whole team back in there?
38:13Hold on, I can find them.
38:14Hold on.
38:15Sam.
38:16Hey, Sam.
38:18I've got Grant on the phone.
38:19Yeah.
38:20There, mate.
38:21Hey, Sam.
38:22Hey, mate.
38:23Look, I'm just, how much longer do the flooring guys
38:25say they're going to be?
38:26Yeah, well, now we've walked over to the next door
38:28because we've been sitting there.
38:29Like, we've given him an hour and a half.
38:31Ah.
38:32So we've kind of been poached to come.
38:35What, in house one?
38:36In house one.
38:37Mate, we need to get a f***ing crew plastered.
38:39That's s***.
38:40We need to get in there.
38:41We've got a lot to do.
38:42He's like, they are our plasterers.
38:43Like, get them back.
38:45Do you want to just call me back?
38:46I'll call you back.
38:47I'll call you back.
38:48All right.
38:49Sorry, but I'd rather finish our house first than theirs.
38:51Like.
38:52Yeah, no s***.
38:53Now the whole plastering crew is deserting
38:55Maddie and Charlotte's house.
38:57Looks like my plasterer is leaving.
38:59He's only been here for three seconds.
39:02I'm not really sure what happened.
39:04Did they leave?
39:06All the boys?
39:07I don't know what's going on.
39:08I missed that whole thing.
39:09Oh, so did I.
39:10Absolute disaster.
39:11I need plasterers.
39:25Plasterers are in high demand on the block today.
39:28Courtney had to retrieve her plastering team
39:30from neighbouring House 1.
39:33The whole team went to Charlotte's.
39:36And I was like, look, there was still stuff for us to do.
39:39So I went in there and I went with the guys.
39:41What else is there left to...
39:42A lot.
39:43We need to get in there.
39:44Like.
39:45Not how it works.
39:47Get your own plasterers.
39:48It's, you know, it's still a competition at the end of the day.
39:54Meanwhile, Gran is still trapped in freedom
39:57penance for missing yesterday's challenge.
40:00Can you just let me know what happens?
40:04How much do you want to get back to the block?
40:06Like, I wish I could click my fingers and be there right now.
40:11House 2's plasterers may be back,
40:13but they're still delayed by the flooring team.
40:18In terms of timeline, it really pushes behind.
40:21The one thing they can do is install the EasyJam
40:24or concealed door jam in the hallway.
40:26So if we can do our EasyJam now,
40:28and then could we get into the wardrobe or not?
40:31How's Grant handling it all?
40:33Grant's always stressed.
40:34It'll be fine. We'll work it out.
40:38So what's happening in our house at the moment?
40:40Plasterers are all working?
40:41And the flooring guys are still going?
40:43Flooring guys are still going.
40:44They might have to come back tomorrow.
40:46We worked out they're going to do half the room
40:48and plasterers the other half, and then they'll swap.
40:51When I finish, we'll finish.
40:54We're going to finish. We have to finish.
40:57It's 20 to 7.
40:58Half the floor is down and the plasterers can get back into the room.
41:02Arthur's site shuts down at 8.
41:05I'm putting you on speaker. Sam, Grant's on the phone.
41:07Besides sanding, are we still pushing in tomorrow?
41:10Yeah, we get kicked out at 8. We're not going to finish.
41:14We can't work after 8, so we can only get done what we can.
41:18Plasterers need to finish tonight.
41:20I can't have plasterers in here tomorrow.
41:22So he's had to negotiate when we can work, ask for an extension.
41:25It's the only way we're going to finish this room.
41:28And the only one who can grant extra time is site manager Aiden.
41:34Is Aiden here?
41:35Not yet, he's still on his break.
41:37I'll come.
41:39Oh, here we go. Hey, Aiden.
41:41Hello.
41:42Are you in a good mood?
41:44You're always in a good mood.
41:45So we're probably not going to finish our room.
41:47Well, our plasterers are still going.
41:50Is there a possibility of having an extension?
41:52Don't know. I'll have a walk around in a minute and then I'll think about it.
41:58Love your work.
41:59No worries.
42:00All right, bye.
42:01What's happening?
42:02I don't know.
42:03I'm still waiting for Aiden to come back.
42:05But I feel like it's going to be a no.
42:13In house five, with the top coat drying, the plastering is complete.
42:18There's only an hour remaining until tools down,
42:21and shed plasterers Josh and Brendan are finally back in house one,
42:25working on the base coat.
42:27But they're far from finished.
42:29When the base coat is done, they'll then need to apply the top coat.
42:33They were going to finish the job at house one,
42:35but then come to find out he was not very keen to come back Saturday
42:39to do his top coat.
42:40So it just needs a top coat?
42:41Just about, yeah.
42:42How long does a top coat take to set?
42:44It won't be done.
42:45We won't get it done.
42:46No, I'm done.
42:47I'm absolutely knackered, mate.
42:49And then what, back tomorrow morning?
42:51I won't be.
42:52Will you be back?
42:53Got a couple other jobs to get done that I've had to push back just to be here.
42:58And I was trying to, like, get it out of him and be like,
43:01is there any chance you can, because we really need the top coat done,
43:04otherwise we're not going to present.
43:06So will you be back tomorrow then?
43:08Don't know yet.
43:09When do you think you'll find out?
43:12When I probably stop and look at my phone and make a phone call.
43:16Is there any way of pushing that job back?
43:18No, because I've already pushed it back twice to be here.
43:21It's like the last leg of the race, you know.
43:23You can't push it back one more day.
43:25No, not really.
43:28I can't really ruin my livelihood, sorry.
43:31You're going to leave me high and dry.
43:33I'm waiting for a phone call.
43:34Well, I can't come back tomorrow because it's my missus' birthday
43:36and she will kill me.
43:38Yeah.
43:39Is there any chance?
43:40Hopefully it'll only take, like, two hours kind of thing, like, quickly done.
43:43And then he was like, I'll make some phone calls, come back.
43:46Okay, well, keep me updated.
43:50He went and packed up his stuff and didn't say bye.
43:53And then I saw him out at Christian's house having beers,
43:55and then so I went over there, but then he was on the phone.
43:58So I was like, oh, great, he's having his phone call that he needs to make
44:01to work out if he can come back tomorrow.
44:03But your neighbour also chose to have a beer with the plasterer
44:05who could have been finishing some work for you.
44:07He could have, but he chose not to.
44:10Yeah.
44:11And then so I went back inside, and then five minutes later,
44:14I came back out, and then security told me he left.
44:17So he didn't even say bye.
44:23Coming up.
44:24First week's tough.
44:25There's just so many different, like, moving parts.
44:28You all right?
44:29This is overwhelming.
44:30I'm fine.
44:31I'm actually fine.
44:32Charlotte is left hanging.
44:34I was just checking for tomorrow if you're still good to come
44:37to do the top coat.
44:49It's Friday night of main bedroom and walk-in road week on the block,
44:53and in house two, the plasterers haven't finished.
44:56They still need to apply the top coat to get the job done.
45:00And so site manager Aidan has arrived to address Courtney's request
45:04for an extension to working hours.
45:06Hello.
45:08How did you go?
45:09Well, I've had a bit of a thinking all around.
45:11Yeah.
45:12And I think we should say we'll do another hour.
45:14Okay.
45:15Yeah?
45:16That's amazing.
45:18So nine.
45:19Let's go nine.
45:21How do we feel about nine, guys?
45:23Yeah?
45:25Is that enough?
45:27We'll take what we can get.
45:29Someone who doesn't need a one-hour extension is Christian in house five.
45:34Yeah, everyone's good.
45:35I just got the final coat of the plaster drying now,
45:38the top coat drying now.
45:40So, yeah, hopefully tomorrow morning we'll wake up and it will all be dry
45:46and we can start sanding and painting.
45:54I was going around to all the other houses,
45:56to see if they were done so we could use their plasterers.
45:59Hey, Sam.
46:00Hey.
46:01Do you want to do me another favor tomorrow?
46:06Whoa, that looks so good up there.
46:08That looks so good.
46:09This is all Sam.
46:10I don't know if we're going to go up there.
46:11Why not?
46:12I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow.
46:13Anyone else in your team?
46:14It's just top coat.
46:15Huh?
46:16Top coating.
46:17Um, I don't know.
46:18You'd have to ask.
46:20Well, we've got that much to do in here.
46:22Charlotte was pretty upset.
46:24They couldn't find a plasterer.
46:26First week's tough.
46:27There's just so many different, like, moving parts.
46:30You all right?
46:31It was overwhelming.
46:32I'm fine.
46:33I'm absolutely fine.
46:37With the trip back from shopping a little less glamorous than the ride there,
46:41it is a cramped return journey for half of our contestants in the Freedom Van.
46:48Art Carly is happy to celebrate her bed-styling win.
46:52Baby!
46:54Winner, winner.
46:55Winner, winner!
46:57$5,000.
46:59Where are the other people's beds?
47:00I don't know.
47:01I didn't take a photo of theirs.
47:02It's not important.
47:03Just the winner.
47:04Just the winner?
47:05Yeah.
47:07No one did three layers, did they?
47:09No.
47:10No, you won that.
47:11And three, technically four, pillow layers.
47:15No, you killed it.
47:17In house three, Ricky and Hayden's plastering is done.
47:20They are preparing for a night of spray painting
47:24and bracing for a big day tomorrow,
47:26thanks to a last-minute change to their flooring.
47:29Hats off to Flooring Extra.
47:31Even though I called them at 2.20 today,
47:33they managed to make a call,
47:35and tomorrow we get our floorboards installed.
47:37So it's a six-hour process on the last day before handover,
47:43so, yeah, tomorrow's going to be wild.
47:48But the finish line is nowhere in sight for Maddie and Charlotte.
47:51With only their base coat done,
47:53they still have a top coat to do before their plastering is complete.
47:58At, like, 10pm, I rang the plasterer and was like,
48:01so, what's the go? Are you coming back tomorrow?
48:03Hello?
48:04Hey, it's Charlotte Harry from the block, house one.
48:09How are you going?
48:10Good. I was just wondering,
48:11I was just trying to catch you guys before you left today,
48:13and when I came out, I couldn't catch... I didn't see you there.
48:17That's right.
48:18I was just checking for tomorrow
48:20if you're still good to come to do the top coat.
48:23No, unfortunately not.
48:26No chance at all?
48:27Yeah, I've called all my contacts and everything,
48:29and unfortunately I can't do it.
48:30I've already been in contact with Zak to let him know.
48:33OK, cos Zak hasn't let us know yet.
48:36Oh, hasn't he?
48:37I've probably told him, like, an hour ago.
48:40OK.
48:41I've called heaps of people and everything,
48:43and unfortunately I can't.
48:44There's no chance of trying to...
48:46Is there anything that we can do to bribe you?
48:49Cos we just need to...
48:50Like, we won't be able to finish the room.
48:52Sorry I couldn't be there, but, yeah,
48:54unfortunately I've got...
48:55Do you know any other... anyone else?
48:58Nah.
49:05OK.
49:07Yeah.
49:08OK.
49:09OK, thanks for that.
49:13That's fabulous.
49:15Sunday night...
49:16It's going all over my walls.
49:19You look horrified.
49:21I'm not a judge, so it doesn't matter.
49:23It's the biggest week so far on the block.
49:25Race is to conclusion.
49:27If we can get this done,
49:28the boys are a red-hot chance for a win.
49:30Maddie and Charlotte's plaster disaster gets worse.
49:33The girls want to know if you're keen to help them out later.
49:35Not really.
49:36Did they calm down?
49:37No.
49:38Did they pay them extra?
49:39No.
49:40Oh.
49:42We're literally screwed.
49:45And our blockheads go to any lengths to push to the finish.
49:48Please put some clothes back on.
49:50I'm going to have to put it on the floor.
49:52I don't care, just do something.
49:53I'm doing everything at the moment.
49:55Wow.
49:57OK.
49:58Then judging time brings some astonishment.
50:00Talk about personality.
50:02This is the most marketable room so far on the block.
50:05This takes my breath away.
50:08And some big shocks.
50:10Look at the pillows.
50:11They're just shoved there.
50:12I wish that I could give them a good score.
50:15Before I go back here, Brad and Kylie,
50:17you've got a penguin bonus point.
50:19What do you want to do?
