Kylie hasn’t woken up in a better mood after she threatened to leave when she thought Ronnie and Georgia were to replace her friends Jesse and Paige on The Block.
She makes it clear she isn’t going to welcome the new contestants, Sydney sisters Maddy and Charlotte, with welcome arms. The sisters, who are 24 and 22, arrive on The Block from Sydney after 24 hours notice.
They are actually very experienced renovators, which they will keep secret from the other contestants. The opportunity was too good to miss and they upended their busy lives where they flip houses professionally for the opportunity to be on The Block.
They get straight to work and are thrown in the deep end after arriving on The Block, building a master bedroom and walk-in-robe.
News spreads around The Block that they have arrived and one by one they are greeted by the other contestants, however Kylie barely makes an effort. Kylie calls her mum and she complains about Maddy and Charlotte and thinks that they will get special treatment.
A challenge is called and our Blockheads – all except Grant – head to the Clay & Co gallery for this week’s challenge. Scotty isn’t happy that Grant – whose nickname is now Grumpy – decided to stay back at The Block to work and not participate in the challenge. Courtney is in tears as Scotty tells them off.
The contestants have to build a paper mache lamp to store in their main bedrooms, and surprisingly, Ricky and Haydn take it out.
