EPISODE 25: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7
Rumpus Reveal
Sonny and Alicia have woken up smiling. After a huge week of ups and downs, they end on a high winning the $260,000 Titanium caravan.
Emma and Ben on the other hand are devastated at coming second again. They have some support in Robby and Mat, who think they should have won the challenge.
It’s a public holiday on The Block which means it’s even more stressful for our contestants, who are 24 hours away from delivering their rumpus room space.
There are all sorts of issues for Han and Can as they complete their rumpus room, with wrong sizing of ordered furniture causing them all sorts of pain.
Britt and Alicia team up together and go to Bunnings on a shopping trip, glad they have formed a strong friendship.
Robby and Mat don’t finish their rumpus room and a furious after a floor board supply issue meant there weren’t enough floorboards to finish their room. But was it their fault and bad project management?
Scott arrives and calls “tools down” and another week is finished on The Block.
Our judges Shaynna, Marty and Darren arrive and judging commences.
EMMA AND BEN HOUSE ONE - SPENT $8,700
Lots of love for Emma and Ben’s rumpus room. Marty thought the look and feel was incredible and felt very Daylesford. Shaynna would have liked it to be more kid friendly. The judges thought Em and Ben are back and have once again set the mark for the rest of the competition.
HAN AND CAN HOUSE TWO - SPENT $11,570
The best feedback so far for the girls. The judges loved the layout of the cinema room. The furniture choices including the couch were just right. Marty thinks this room is so marketable. Lots to love about it across the board.
BRITT AND TAZ HOUSE THREE - SPENT $10,872
The judges couldn’t be more clear. They think Britt and Taz got it wrong completely making the rumpus space a wellness room. It means now they only have one living space for a luxury home. They have advised the married couple from Western Australia to completely rethink what they are doing. But will Britt and Taz listen? They plan to consult their real estate agent.
SONNY AND ALICIA HOUSE FOUR - SPENT $10,846
Lots of love this week for Sonny and Alicia’s room, especially the burgundy colour drenching. Colour drenching is what Darren had been waiting for all season on The Block. Shaynna thinks the room is quintessentially Daylesford.
ROBBY AND MAT HOUSE FIVE - SPENT $9,986
The judges thought it was a poor effort. It could be anywhere in Melbourne, not very Daylesford. Shaynna is annoyed at all the indoor plants. They think the boys dropped the ball. Not their best week.
Han and Can take out the win, plus a 10. A $20,000 week for the girls. Emma and Ben are also smiling. Despite coming second they still have a good week, taking home $10,000 after having the best budget for the week.
