It’s one of the biggest days on The Block, the day before kitchen week judging and our contestants are all scrambling to finish.
This year there are five very different kitchens, all of them amazing.
Foreman Dan and Grant have appeared to have made up and are all friendly again, after earlier having words as Dan accused him of over ordering gyprock. Grant points out everyone has done it, and Foreman Dan walks around the site and does an audit and finds this is true.
Kristian and Mimi get a boost when his parents arrive from Adelaide with their pet dog.
Scott calls “tool’s down,” and our contestants all breathe a sigh of relief as everyone delivers amazing kitchens for the judges.
House No.1 Maddy and Charlotte spent $15,253
WOW was the overall feeling from The Block judges Shaynna, Darren and Marty. They also paid tribute to Jesse and Paige for choosing the Kinsman kitchen in the first place. The judges loved the sense of luxury and the traditional nature of the kitchen. The stone was incredible.
Score 29/30
House No.2 Courtney and Grant spent $13,402
The judges were divided over this kitchen. Marty wasn’t a fan at all, while Darren and Shaynna thought it was almost perfect. Marty didn’t think the kitchen hit its’ mark, while Shaynna thought he was crazy to think that.
Score 27/30
House No.3 Ricky and Haydn spent $16,869
A finished room from the boys but not amazing feedback. Shaynna was brutal, saying the styline was too simplistic and Ricky and Haydn needed to get better and source Instagram and Pinterest for ideas. All three judges had issues with the layout. Shaynna hated the white painting on the Porta timber. The boys are devastated.
Score 23/30
House No.4 Kylie and Brad spent $12,030
Finally Kylie and Brad have hit the mark with the judges. The dark and moody style of this kitchen, with all its hidden gadgets and cupboards, was their best room yet. Kylie wanted the judges to love this room as it is exactly her style, so she was very happy to hear the feedback.
Score 28.5/30 +1 =29.5/30
House No.5 Kristian and Mimi spent $20,814
Krisitan and Mimi’s green Shrek-like Smeg oven was polarising for our judges, once again more clashes between Marty and Shaynna. Marty also wasn’t a fan of the trip stack bench top. Mixed feedback for Kristian and Mimi.
Score 26.5/30
Some huge scores, and finally Kylie and Brad play their penguin and beat Maddy and Charlotte by half a point. Controversially, they only played it so the sisters didn’t win.
