It’s 27 hours until the Blockheads reveal their first guest bedroom. This also means the end to Tent City, where our contestants have been camping for the past two weeks and it couldn’t come soon enough.
Most of the contestants are in a good shape but there are still the usual issues with style choices and design.
Paige has been struggling all week with her fiance Jesse to nail down exactly what their style is, but at least this week they will finish their room.
Kylie and Brad are also having trouble, do they listen to the feedback from the judges and pair their black contemporary style back, or stick to their guns?
The Saturday night before the big room reveal all the Blockheads go to the local pub for dinner and drinks, a well deserved break from The Block.
Ricky and Haydn and Kylie and Brad return early to continue to work, while Jesse and Paige, Courtney and Grant and Kristian and Mimi party the night away.
The next morning as tool’s down approaches, there are some sore heads but everyone delivers a finished room.
Scott visits all of the houses before he calls tools down, and he thinks everyone is a winner.
Our judges arrive and judging commences.
House No.1 Jesse and Paige spent $9,377
A remarkable improvement for Jesse and Paige who the judges think have finally found their style – Modern Colonial.
The judges thought they got it just right. High end, but not too over the top.
Score 27/30
House No.2 Courtney and Grant spent $8,317
The kid’s room Courntey and Grant delivered was full of fun and sophistication according to the judges. Marty loved it, and made and early call – if they keep the styling up and level of detail up they are going to be hard to beat.
Score 27.5/30
House No.3 Ricky and Haydn spent $8,062
The boys were let down by some bad workmanship by their trades, especially the roof and the plastering. The biggest issues the judges had was the layout and the positioning of the bunk beds. They want the boys to bring more of an emotional connection to their rooms.
Score 22/30
House No.4 Kylie and Brad spent $11,611
The judges were perplexed, Shaynna thought the room was art deco and not right for a beach out. Marty actually thought they did a much better job compared to the bathroom last week. There were real mixed opinions. Kylie doesn’t know what to do now. Does she listen to the judges or follow her gut when it comes to her style?
Score 22/30
House No.5 Kristian and Mimi spent $12,016
Another fantastic week for the Adelaide married couple. The asymmetric room works and it was callus and elegant. Marty thinks the room will photograph really well.
Score 28/30
So on to judging, and for a second week in a row Kristian and Mimi win by half a point over Courtney and Grant
