00:00Previously, the team that wins the block this year is obviously going to build a magnificent home, but they're going to have the best garden.

00:06Scotty really pushed the point when we first arrived about landscaping and how important it is here at Dalesford.

00:12Landscaping will probably win you the block this year.

00:14Half an acre of landscaping is a six-month job. You've got under three.

00:18This property is massive. This landscaping goes through the roof.

00:22We're allowed to sort of landscape early this time.

00:24I needed to lock in a landscape park ASAP.

00:27How you doing?

00:28Good, thank you.

00:29You could arguably fit three previous block backyards into one of these places.

00:33Big space. Big space means a lot of things that need to be done, which means a lot of money.

00:37Hustle is going to be our motto for this season. Hustle, hustle, hustle.

00:40We were talking about landscaping plans from day dot. Gardens are so important to us.

00:45I've got all this crazy paving coming in for here. That's going to be our point of difference.

00:50They keep just saying any money you win is going to go into your landscape.

00:54Tonight, Backyard Week officially begins.

00:58Best week of the block.

00:59Yeah.

01:00We can't wait.

01:00Full on week.

01:01It is going to be epic.

01:03Provided we can pull it off.

01:05Being outside, it's a whole new playing field.

01:07Just the scale of this week is ginormous.

01:10There's so many trees.

01:11I just don't know how we're going to pull it off.

01:13It's nearly unrealistic to think that you could landscape this whole backyard in a week.

01:18Keep calm and drink tea.

01:20We had poured a little bit of the concrete. Other than that, we've done no landscaping.

01:24Yeah, we have a lot to do.

01:25Let's make this luck ridiculous.

01:27We have this huge seven and a half ton fireplace and then an 18 by eight pickleball court.

01:32No other house has got that.

01:33And as we've reached the end of the competition, it seems all is fair in love and landscaping.

01:39Our point of difference to the landscape is these rocks and now they're in your landscape.

01:44Well, it's on our land.

01:45Finders keepers.

01:46Yeah.

01:47Loseers weepers.

01:47It's week 11 and it is the biggest week of them all.

02:01It's landscaping week.

02:02Garden says so much to a house.

02:05Like, it sells a house.

02:07We love landscaping.

02:08And driving through Dalesford, you see all these amazing back and front yards.

02:11You see the work that people put into them.

02:19So to sell this house, yes, your interior needs to be great, but your outdoors just needs to be next level.

02:32Yep, in just seven days, our blockheads need to turn these piles of dirt into backyards worthy of their Dalesford surroundings.

02:39But needless to say, it's going to be a very busy week.

02:44So we've got the entire backyard, the pool cabana, everything around the pool, all the landscaping, the earth moving, the excavation.

02:55There's a lot.

02:57Busy stuff.

02:58Concrete pours in one, two, three and five today.

03:00We've already got two pumps here.

03:02There's going to be a lot happening.

03:04Last week's going to look like kids playing in a sand pit compared to the next two weeks.

03:08All right.

03:10That's it for today.

03:11Be nice to each other.

03:12Have a coffee.

03:16Did you enjoy last night, Shayla?

03:18Yeah.

03:19What was shown?

03:20The first episode.

03:21So funny.

03:23Sunday night after judging, we watched the first episode.

03:26Welcome to our 21st season of The Block.

03:34It's weird seeing yourself on TV.

03:35Yeah.

03:36I loved it.

03:37Yeah, we thought it was cool.

03:37I loved watching that.

03:38They captured our back story so well.

03:40Desiree always has to take us to the shops.

03:43She loved all because she sings her songs in the back of the car.

03:49We're just like best mates.

03:50Close to getting the age where we're looking to start families and all that.

03:57Surprise.

03:59It was awesome.

04:01Nice surprise.

04:01Really nice.

04:02Yeah.

04:02Because I will not cop that.

04:04I did nothing towards you and nor have I done anything towards you this entire time.

04:09Not one thing.

04:11We walked out of that yarn.

04:12Sweet.

04:13That's us.

04:13We loved it.

04:14Yeah.

04:14We are who we are.

04:15We all saw ourselves on TV and it was like wow.

04:28We had a good laugh but we were enjoying ourselves and we have ever since.

04:32Who was not happy with how they was portrayed?

04:37Not portrayed but was anyone not happy?

04:40You're trying to get a million things done really quickly.

04:43So now I've lost to us here.

04:45It was like I just got torn off by my parents.

04:51How's your hand?

04:52You alright?

04:53Hiding in that hoodie.

04:56You alright?

04:58No.

04:59I think she's embarrassed about it.

05:04Everything.

05:04It was like f***.

05:12Just watching myself be like disgusted with house two.

05:16To me it came across like I was ungrateful.

05:20This is a problem to me.

05:22This retaining wall.

05:24It's so ugly.

05:27I hate it.

05:30I just look like a spoiled brat.

05:33That's how it felt watching it and that's why I was like.

05:37That's why I was like oh gross.

05:39Like I feel gross about myself.

05:40I feel gross about the situation.

05:44This is the world that we live in.

05:49I feel myself in the time.

05:52This is the world that we live in.

05:57Watching the first episode was a little cringe.

06:00The first couple weeks for us like we didn't know what we were in for.

06:04We were like I don't know like birds who had just left them nest and were struggling to fly.

06:11The next two weeks just want to have a bit of fun.

06:13We used to have so much fun together.

06:15We used to get along so well.

06:16We never argued before we came on the block.

06:19We used to be friends.

06:20Now we're enemies.

06:21Can you believe it?

06:22We're enemies.

06:24It's okay.

06:25We'll see what happens after the block.

06:26Monday morning we...

06:33We're feeling good.

06:34Oh we feel fantastic.

06:35We're feeling 40 grand richer.

06:36With a perfect score.

06:3930 out of 30.

06:41We did it.

06:41We got a perfect score.

06:43We won the week and we got a 10 from every judge.

06:50Congratulations boys.

06:52Last night the boys revealed their highly anticipated wine cellar.

06:57That's been 10 weeks in the making.

06:58And the judges absolutely loved it.

07:02Oh look at this.

07:10This is the perfect wine cellar.

07:12This is a home run.

07:15They now don't have the same houses.

07:18Yeah.

07:18And put themselves in a totally new bracket because of what they've added.

07:23While all the teams delivered their alfresco area and sheds last night,

07:29this morning at the Domain Open for Inspections,

07:32everyone's focus is on the boys' wine cellar.

07:35Oh my gosh.

07:38Wow.

07:39I love it.

07:41Wow.

07:42So cool.

07:43The boys just smashed it out of the park.

07:45Three 10s.

07:46Incredible.

07:48That's f***ing tick.

07:49Wow.

07:50Language.

07:53I tried so hard to fault it,

07:56but it honestly was freaking epic.

07:59Wow.

07:59Look at the floor.

08:00How amazing did that look?

08:04Far out.

08:06Very cool.

08:07They nailed it.

08:0910 out of 10 out of 10 out of 10 out of 10.

08:12Oh my God.

08:12I feel sorry for anybody else who's doing a cellar

08:15because this is just like,

08:17you can't compete.

08:19You guys have a cellar coming up?

08:21We do.

08:21We do have a cellar coming up.

08:22I feel like we've got like big boots to fill.

08:25Yeah.

08:26I need to take a photo so we can copy the whole thing.

08:32Wow, wow, we are.

08:33Wow, this is cool.

08:35Look at the amount of wine.

08:37You would find me down here all day.

08:39Imagine how much,

08:40how litty, titty, mcnitty we would get down here, hand.

08:43Very well deserved.

08:44And if I had my time again,

08:47I would come here with Robbie.

08:56Thanks, babe.

08:57The other space everyone is keen to check out this morning

09:01is in house three.

09:04They came third last night with a score of 27 points.

09:08We wanted to be up there with the boys.

09:09We wanted to really test them.

09:11So that's why we threw so much at it.

09:13We created a speakeasy in the shed.

09:16Is this a shed?

09:18This does not feel like a shed.

09:21Is this compliant?

09:22I don't know if this is going to get signed off.

09:27This is such a gamble.

09:33Oh.

09:35Ooh.

09:36Nice.

09:37Not compliant.

09:39Wow.

09:40This is a bar.

09:43You're not allowed to produce a room

09:46that you're going to spend longer than 40 minutes in.

09:50Like, if you're not supposed to encourage people

09:51to spend time in here,

09:52this is about as encouraging as it gets.

09:58I'm going out there and I'm getting drunk.

10:01That'll only take 20 minutes.

10:03Yeah, true.

10:06Oh, my goodness.

10:09Wow.

10:10The shed was...

10:13Illegal.

10:15Not allowed.

10:16That's what the shed was.

10:17The shed was the most gorgeous tasting room,

10:20which I loved.

10:21Don't get me wrong.

10:23But not allowed.

10:28That was my plan,

10:29and I got declined on multiple occasions.

10:32So I was pissed off.

10:37For me, it was like,

10:38how do you have what?

10:40It's okay.

10:42I know it's okay,

10:43but I'm allowed to be, like,

10:45pissed off about it being unfair.

10:46I ask all those questions, right?

10:50And we get told no.

10:51So, like, I'm like,

10:52how is it okay for one

10:53and not the other?

10:56I don't know.

10:56Don't worry about it.

10:57I'm worried about it.

10:58It is what it is.

10:59Who cares, Hannah?

11:00I care, Candice.

11:01We move on.

11:02Two weeks to go.

11:03Just embrace it.

11:04It's fine.

11:05So, Candice,

11:06you were becoming frustrated as well,

11:07and you seemed to get a bit upset.

11:09It's just Hans' attitude.

11:10She was so negative.

11:14Like, literally,

11:15if anything you used to learn

11:16off watching the episode last night,

11:18is you and I need to have more fun.

11:19It would take it way too seriously.

11:22It's a TV show, Hannah.

11:23It's not life or death.

11:24I definitely want to enjoy

11:28the last couple of weeks.

11:29It's just, um...

11:31It's hard.

11:34Body's sore.

11:36Mind's gassed.

11:38Yeah, fatigue's setting in.

11:40I don't know.

11:40It's just like watching that s*** last night.

11:42It's just...

11:44I look like such a f***ing head.

11:47No, you don't, babe.

11:48No, you don't.

11:49You look like someone

11:50who's passionate about what they do.

11:51Yeah, it was a very hard,

11:53emotional morning

11:55for me.

12:00It's okay.

12:00I've had lots.

12:01Yeah.

12:03We all got you.

12:04We got you, guys.

12:05We got you.

12:06Thanks.

12:06I've had this day.

12:08While Han composes herself,

12:10the teams head to the green room

12:11to see the domain listings go live.

12:15Good to see the pictures

12:16on the domain board.

12:18Stunning.

12:19Oh, beautiful.

12:20Stunning.

12:21The pics on the domain board

12:22looked incredible.

12:23You deserve all the tens.

12:25Thank you very much.

12:28It was interesting

12:29to watch last night's

12:30first episode

12:31and I forgot how fast

12:33it all started to happen

12:35from week one.

12:36Talk to me.

12:37I want to...

12:37Talk to me.

12:38Dig a cellar.

12:40You want to dig a cellar?

12:41I want to put a cellar in.

12:43And then for last night

12:44for it to be...

12:44Yeah, it was special.

12:47After watching the episode

12:49last Sunday,

12:49we're going in

12:50and we're going to have

12:50some fun for the next two weeks.

12:52Yeah.

12:53We are going out

12:54with a bang

12:55and we're going to enjoy

12:55every last second.

12:57I just think it's important

12:58for Han and Ken

12:59that they know

13:01that we're all here for them.

13:02Home stretch though, guys.

13:03Home stretch.

13:04Two weeks to go

13:04and then we're going home.

13:05We'll be alright.

13:06We're surrounded

13:07by like the most

13:07incredible neighbours

13:09here on the block.

13:11We will carry you through.

13:12We will hug you.

13:13We will love on you guys.

13:16Han and I are on this

13:17ride together

13:17and we both get frustrated

13:19together and we feel together

13:20and we get disappointed together

13:21but I love you to bits.

13:23I love you to bits too.

13:24And you're doing amazing.

13:26You've done amazing.

13:31Thanks.

13:34It's too beautiful.

13:36It's the first day

13:50of Backyard and Pool Week,

13:52the busiest week on the block

13:53and the stakes are high

13:55as every team wants to claim

13:57they have the best backyard

13:58come auction.

14:01Landscaping week

14:01is probably one of the most

14:03important weeks

14:04and if you win

14:05landscaping week

14:06you've got a really good crack

14:07at taking home the competition.

14:10Our blockheads

14:11have been working hard

14:12with their landscapers

14:13over the past few weeks

14:14to get their plans

14:15for their backyards approved

14:16so they can hit the ground

14:18running this morning.

14:20They're going to need

14:21to make the most

14:22of every minute

14:23because come Sunday

14:24they'll deliver

14:25some of the biggest

14:26backyards we've ever seen

14:28with each one measuring

14:29more than a thousand

14:30square metres.

14:31From day one

14:33we said kitchen

14:34and backyard landscaping

14:36is our number one priority.

14:38Best week of the block.

14:39Yeah.

14:40We can't wait.

14:40Full on week.

14:42Budget is 50k

14:43which is not...

14:45Not enough.

14:46At all.

14:47What does 50k

14:48get you in the landscaping world?

14:49Three trees.

14:52Pretty much.

14:53This is why Scotty

14:54from day one

14:55said start your landscape now

14:56and you need more money.

14:58Yep.

14:59From the beginning

15:00of the competition

15:01I encourage teams

15:02to save as much money

15:04as they could

15:04for landscaping.

15:06This week

15:07they'll need to complete

15:07their entire backyard

15:09pool area

15:10and pool cabana

15:11and they'll also need

15:12to make sure

15:13they have enough money

15:14left in their budgets

15:15to finish next week's front yard.

15:19Because it was always

15:20going to be a hard task

15:22last week

15:23Combank

15:23stepped in

15:24and offered some help.

15:25Combank

15:26are giving

15:27each team

15:28a budget boost

15:30of $50,000.

15:33Oh, stop!

15:35Oh my god!

15:37Who has the most

15:38amount of money

15:39at this point?

15:39Who's doing okay

15:40with the budget?

15:41I think

15:41House 3,

15:43Britt and Taz.

15:43House 3's probably

15:44got the most money

15:45I would think.

15:46They've won a lot.

15:46They won 50k in a week.

15:48But then

15:48Sonny and Lucia

15:49don't really tend

15:50to spend much money.

15:51Ben and Emma.

15:52You know,

15:52they won the 50k

15:53for the domain.

15:54$50,000

15:55in cash

15:56thanks to domain.

15:58Well,

15:59I've done the math

16:00and I can tell you

16:01exactly how much

16:02each team is spending

16:03on their backyards.

16:05Em and Ben

16:06have allocated

16:06the most

16:07at $130,000

16:09which also

16:10needs to pay

16:11for the wine

16:11cellar

16:12they want to

16:13present this week.

16:15Britt and Taz

16:15plan to spend

16:16$100,000.

16:18Sonny and Alicia

16:19at $90,000.

16:21Robbie and Matt

16:22are spending

16:23$70,000

16:24but they've also

16:25won a $50,000

16:26fireplace

16:27and a $50,000

16:29pickleball court

16:30to include

16:31in their backyard.

16:33So that leaves

16:34Han and Can

16:34who have the least

16:35amount to spend

16:36just $50,000

16:38which according

16:40to Taz

16:40should get them

16:41three trees.

16:43It's hard this week.

16:45Dive straight

16:46to House 2.

16:48Because the

16:48backyards this

16:49year are so big

16:50I also suggest

16:51that the blockheads

16:52start their

16:52landscaping early

16:54to give them

16:54the best chance

16:55of finishing on time.

16:58House 3 and House 5

16:59are the only ones

17:00who took me up

17:01on this advice.

17:02They've both had

17:03landscapers here

17:04for weeks already

17:05giving them a clear

17:06advantage heading

17:07into this week.

17:09So we started

17:09landscaping three

17:10weeks ago.

17:11All the levels

17:11have been done

17:12all the concrete

17:13that we needed

17:13to be poured

17:14is poured.

17:16It's going really

17:16well.

17:16We're in a really

17:17really good spot.

17:18Quite happy

17:19where we're at.

17:20Britton Taz's

17:21landscaper Troy

17:22is no stranger

17:23to the block

17:24having been on

17:25board for the

17:26past three seasons.

17:28He's known

17:29for his modern

17:29contemporary style

17:30and has produced

17:32some beautiful

17:32backyards

17:33including Tom

17:35and Sarah

17:35Jane's winning

17:36landscape

17:36back in Gismet.

17:39It's good

17:39to have Troy

17:40on board

17:41because he's

17:41so meticulous

17:42with everything

17:42he needs to get

17:43done.

17:43So not only

17:44does he do

17:45the landscaping

17:46side of the

17:46render side

17:47of the thing

17:47and everything

17:47like that

17:48but he'll also

17:48get on the

17:49tools.

17:49He's a very

17:50good project

17:51manager.

17:52I reckon

17:52we're in a

17:53good shape

17:54best spot.

17:55And once you

17:55put all these

17:56trees in

17:57the creek

17:57through here

17:57mate

17:58it's next

17:58level.

17:59So how we're

18:00trying to set

18:00ourselves apart

18:01is being very

18:02on brief

18:03with Daylesford.

18:04So people

18:05here love

18:06landscapes.

18:07It's all about

18:07natural beauty,

18:08sustainability,

18:09wellness.

18:10So our house

18:11is a wellness

18:11house so

18:12incorporating that

18:13into the

18:13landscapes as

18:14well.

18:15Our plan is to

18:16walk out from

18:16your back doors

18:17through your

18:17fresco.

18:18You've got your

18:18seating area

18:19around a

18:20beautiful stone

18:21cladded fireplace.

18:22You've got a

18:22nice little runway

18:23of grass.

18:24You turn left

18:25and you go to

18:26the wellness area

18:27which is your

18:27sauna, your

18:28ice bar, spa

18:29and then from

18:30there you've got

18:31a pool cabana.

18:32And we have

18:32beautiful timber

18:33arbors from

18:34trees that have

18:35fallen down in

18:36the area.

18:36A natural creek

18:37runoff.

18:38We have a

18:39greenhouse,

18:39chicken coop,

18:40veggie gardens.

18:42It is going to

18:42be epic.

18:43The plans are

18:44there.

18:45Let's hope we

18:46pull it off.

18:47House 3's epic

18:48plans also include

18:49an epic amount

18:50of plants with

18:51more than 2,000

18:52trees and shrubs

18:53going into their

18:54backyard.

18:55So this morning

18:56Troy is meeting

18:57with Julie from

18:58Pope to talk

18:59about irrigation.

19:00As you can see

19:01the plants are

19:02going in this

19:02morning.

19:03Yeah, it all

19:03looks fantastic.

19:04So we are

19:05supplying a lot

19:06of the irrigation

19:07kits here for the

19:08block.

19:08Amazing.

19:08We are doing

19:09the Pope PC

19:10drip line which

19:11is perfect for

19:12all this heavy

19:12planting through

19:13here.

19:14Yep.

19:14So it's just

19:15really easy to

19:16use.

19:17You just need to

19:17roll it out.

19:18It's got little

19:18emitters every

19:1930 centimetres

19:20along which

19:21will just emit

19:22an even flow of

19:23water.

19:23All the houses

19:24this year will

19:25also have a

19:26rainbow controller

19:27system.

19:28That can be

19:28accessed via an

19:29app.

19:30So the owners

19:30will be able to

19:31control the flow

19:32of water with a

19:33touch of a button.

19:34So you can

19:34control your

19:35irrigation if you're

19:36on the couch,

19:37if you're on

19:38holidays, even

19:38overseas.

19:39And you're

19:39looking at like

19:4030% water

19:41savings by using

19:42a system like

19:43this.

19:49Aiden turns up.

19:52Can we go over

19:53your shed?

19:55Yeah, of course.

19:58I love Aiden.

20:00I think he's a

20:00great dude.

20:01I just don't like

20:02him when he comes

20:02to my house.

20:06The brief for the

20:06sheds that were

20:07delivered last

20:08night was that

20:09they couldn't be a

20:09habitable room,

20:11meaning you wouldn't

20:11spend more than an

20:12hour at a time in

20:13them.

20:15But what Britton

20:16Taz delivered has

20:17raised some concerns.

20:19This morning we've

20:20been having a look

20:20around with our

20:21bidding surveyor at

20:22all the sheds, and

20:25he's not terribly

20:25happy in here.

20:26And not every

20:27this one?

20:27No.

20:28Why?

20:29It's the fact that

20:30it's not really what

20:31we were talking about

20:32what it was going to

20:33be, really.

20:34That's what's in the

20:34plan.

20:35We spoke about the

20:37plastering, we spoke

20:38about cabinets,

20:39insulation,

20:40water racks.

20:41And we also spoke

20:43about how the whole

20:45thing's presented in

20:46the end.

20:47And a block of

20:48storage on a plan

20:50compared to a nice

20:52stone bench, and

20:53there's a bit of a

20:55difference between

20:56having a wine cellar

20:58with a bench you can

20:59have a glass of wine

21:00at, and having a

21:01flat-out bar.

21:02You thought it was a

21:03bar area.

21:03Why would you think

21:04that?

21:04Describe this place to

21:05me, please.

21:05This place is like

21:07as shed as shed

21:08can be.

21:08It's got skylights,

21:10it's got...

21:11It's got floor,

21:12a hard-foot floor.

21:13It's got floor-to-ceiling

21:14wine.

21:14It's got curtains.

21:15So it's a bar.

21:17Well, it's not a bar.

21:18It's sort of a cellar,

21:20but not a cellar.

21:20If we had have seen a

21:22drawing with this big

21:23kitchen bench in here,

21:24I would have said,

21:25you've got no way.

21:27The basic bit is for us

21:29to finish these builds

21:30and get an occupancy

21:31permit, for you to be

21:33able to sell it at

21:34auction.

21:35We currently don't have

21:37our surveyors' approval

21:38for this room as it is,

21:41so we've got to change

21:42it.

21:42What the hell?

21:46Like, we've sacrificed

21:47three months, you know,

21:49of our lives to be here

21:50at the end of the day

21:51to try and sell the house

21:52to set our young family

21:53up, and then for him to

21:55say, well, you can't

21:55sell your house, you're

21:56like, well, that's why

21:58we're here.

22:01So a wine cellar's not

22:02habitable space, right?

22:03Correct.

22:04So, like, same with the

22:04boys, as an example.

22:06But they've got a wine

22:07cellar with a bench there,

22:09yeah?

22:10Yeah.

22:10They've got a large

22:11amount of wine being

22:11stored.

22:13We're sitting in an area

22:14with a nice, big, open

22:15kitchen bench with

22:17skylights.

22:17That's not kitchen.

22:18That's not, that's just,

22:19they've got the exact

22:19same stone as us.

22:20Exact same thing.

22:21It's just, we're getting

22:22double standards here.

22:23Yeah, it's just not fair.

22:24I don't think you're

22:24getting double standards here.

22:25Yeah, I reckon?

22:26I don't think you are at

22:26all.

22:27Most of that room is

22:28dominated by it being a

22:30wine cellar.

22:31Very little of this room

22:32is about it being a

22:34wine cellar.

22:35It's, it's not a wine

22:36cellar.

22:37So if I add more wine,

22:38essentially, is what

22:39you're saying, I can get

22:40some more custom work made

22:41up in there to put more

22:42wine.

22:43So what is it?

22:43So you're telling us a

22:44problem.

22:45Yeah.

22:45Okay, we're obviously not

22:46builders.

22:46You're the one who's

22:47going to tick off on this.

22:47So what's the solution?

22:49I'm not here to try and

22:51tell you what to do or how

22:52to do it, right?

22:53We're just trying to get

22:53it.

22:53That's your job, right?

22:54You need to tell us we

22:55can't sell it out.

22:56But for me, for me, it's

22:58more of a bar than it is a

22:59wine cellar, yeah?

23:00If you make it more of a

23:02wine cellar and not a

23:04bar, then the building

23:06surveyor will go, okay,

23:07cool, that's a wine cellar.

23:10Why don't you sketch

23:11something up and we'll get

23:12the surveyor to approve

23:13it, but put more detail in

23:15it?

23:16Sorry to be the bearer of

23:17bad news.

23:18Oh, something cut.

23:20It just dampens what is

23:22meant to be one of our

23:23most exciting weeks in

23:25landscaping week.

23:26Like, we have been

23:27looking forward to this

23:28since we started.

23:28It's just so frustrating

23:32because...

23:33Because you try to do

23:34the right thing, right?

23:35And get everything ticked

23:36off and it was.

23:37And then for them now to

23:38say, oh, actually...

23:39Actually, we won't sell

23:40you out.

23:40Like, it's just so

23:41rubbish.

23:42It doesn't make any sense

23:44and we're just getting

23:44to give it.

23:47I can't wait to go

23:48home.

23:49Couldn't agree more.

23:50It's f***ing.

23:53Ah!

23:55Ow!

23:55To get even more of

23:58the block, head to

23:59Domain and see the

24:00latest block listings.

24:01See room reveals, floor

24:03plans and behind-the-scenes

24:04content.

24:05Only on Domain.

24:20It's a mid-morning

24:21backyard week and it's

24:22quite interesting to see

24:23the teams that had their

24:24landscapers here weeks

24:25ago, they're coasting.

24:27So house three and house

24:28five, they're in a good

24:29spot.

24:29But houses one, two and

24:31house four, they're way

24:33behind.

24:37Walking into this week,

24:39we're feeling confident.

24:40Obviously, we have all this

24:41land, but we're so lucky

24:42because we have this huge

24:44seven-and-half tonne

24:45fireplace and then an 18 by

24:47eight pickleball court.

24:49No other house has got

24:50that.

24:51Robby and Matt's

24:52landscaper, Paul, is

24:53located in Dalesford.

24:55He's been on the block once

24:57before.

24:58In 2018, he delivered a

25:00winning terrace for Norm and

25:01Jess at the Gatwick.

25:03Paul?

25:04Paul wants perfection and

25:06he's got a really good team

25:08of local guys and they work

25:10really well together.

25:12These guys are incredible.

25:12As soon as they walk out,

25:15because that's the shot,

25:16isn't it?

25:16Yeah.

25:16Let's make this, like,

25:17ridiculous.

25:19So the vision for this week,

25:20we have a seated lounge area

25:23with the incredible Trends

25:26fireplace.

25:27Behind that, we have two

25:28pools.

25:29We have a pool cabana.

25:32Behind that, we have a dream

25:34court, pickleball court.

25:35The backyard is an entertainer

25:38and family dream.

25:40Like, the kids will be running

25:41around on the grass, play

25:44pickleball, jump in the pool.

25:46It's amazing.

25:51As part of Backyards this

25:52week, each team will also

25:54present a pool cabana that's

25:56already been printed by

25:57Contour 3D.

26:00Each cabana includes a powder

26:01room with space for a toilet

26:03and sink and can be styled

26:05however teams choose.

26:06Oh, yeah, we're going to do a

26:07cabana this week.

26:08What should we do?

26:09In Adelaide, a cabana is a

26:11meat stick.

26:14And for those who know Matt...

26:16No.

26:17Our issue is this room here,

26:18we've got to get that

26:19sorted, so that's going to be

26:20Matt and I, or my biggest

26:21focus this week.

26:22Matt will probably be in the

26:22garden with you.

26:23Yeah.

26:24I just grabbed the pool cabana

26:26and was like, I'll take

26:27charge of this.

26:28It's a very awkward room,

26:30so we're just trying to work

26:31out how we can get at least

26:34a three-person sauna in here.

26:35I think it'll be the icing on

26:37the cake for the whole house.

26:38If he can secure the sauna,

26:40Robbie's plan is to include

26:42it on the left-hand side of

26:43the cabana with a bench seat

26:45in the middle and separate

26:46powder room on the right.

26:49I just spoke to the

26:50electricians and they said,

26:52yeah, we can get some power

26:53to a sauna.

26:54The only other person I have

26:55to get approval from is Matt

26:56because he won't pull the

27:00trigger on anything risky.

27:01So Matt's the head of finance,

27:06the keeper of funds, and I

27:09have to run everything past

27:09Matt because I have an idea,

27:13spending habit, which was taken

27:15off me after a couple of weeks.

27:17And Matt's been in charge of

27:18budget ever since.

27:20Oh, hello.

27:21I just want to speak to you

27:23about the cabana.

27:27Yeah.

27:28I've spoken to the sauna people.

27:31Best price they can do is $3,000.

27:34Yeah.

27:34I think hold off on saying yes

27:37just now until we work out

27:39how much we can actually afford.

27:43We had to rein it in this week

27:45because after we paid all of

27:47our invoices for the wine cellar,

27:50we don't have as much to put

27:51into the backyard.

27:54Well, what's the other option

27:55if we don't do a sauna?

27:56A furniture or cabinetry

27:58or something like that.

28:02It's wellness.

28:02Yeah, it's wellness.

28:03You need a sauna.

28:04You've also got to pay for the sauna.

28:07That's the thing.

28:08That's your problem.

28:08See, that's...

28:09I think we do it

28:12because if we keep delaying it,

28:13we're just going to run out of ideas

28:14and it's just going to be

28:15a lounge area.

28:17All right, cool.

28:17Well, let's do it.

28:19Cool.

28:22A lot of our saying

28:24is like,

28:25oh, that's future Robbie

28:26and Matt's problem.

28:27No, that's how you operate, mate.

28:29He didn't want to do the cellar.

28:30Now it's always like,

28:31oh, that's the best idea

28:31in the world.

28:35Head in the clouds,

28:36feet on the ground.

28:39Just like the cellar idea.

28:41See what the result is this week.

28:42Let's see.

28:43This is the landscape team, boys.

28:48This is Adrian.

28:49Tyler.

28:50Hiya.

28:50How you doing, right?

28:52Yeah, sweet.

28:53Our landscape has arrived Sunday

28:54from Queensland

28:55and started Monday.

28:56We had poured a little bit

28:58of the concrete for it.

28:58Concrete, yeah.

28:59Other than that,

29:00we'd done no landscaping.

29:01Yeah.

29:01So, yeah, we have a lot to do.

29:05House 4's landscaper, Dylan,

29:06has some previous experience

29:08on the block.

29:09He's the brother

29:10of ex-contestant Josh

29:11and was on site

29:13helping him and Elise

29:14back in Elstonwick.

29:16Dylan from Jadebilt.

29:17He has organised

29:19all our trees,

29:19all the soil.

29:20Dylan knows his stuff.

29:21Yeah.

29:22As well as their landscaper,

29:23Dylan,

29:24Sonny and Alicia

29:25also work with

29:26landscape designer

29:27Paul Pritchard

29:28to come up with a plan

29:29for their backyard.

29:31We step off

29:32the back of our alfresco.

29:34We have a hard paved path

29:36all the way down

29:37to the pool.

29:37On the right-hand side,

29:38we have an open-air harbour.

29:40Straight ahead,

29:40you'll have the pool.

29:41Down over to the right

29:42on our lower section,

29:43we have a veggie garden.

29:45Then off to the left,

29:46have a bocce court,

29:47the pool house,

29:48fire pit,

29:48and then big grass area

29:49at the back.

29:51So what element of that

29:52is going to set your backyard

29:53apart from the rest?

29:54I think the openness of ours.

29:57I don't like the idea

29:58of filling the entire space

30:00just because you have it

30:01doesn't mean that

30:02there has to be

30:03something going on

30:04in every nook and cranny.

30:06We'll start swinging around.

30:07Yep.

30:07There it goes.

30:11We know the task at hand.

30:12This week's going to be busy.

30:14The aim today is to do

30:15as many pavers down

30:15as we can possibly.

30:17We're slow to start,

30:18but hopefully quick to finish.

30:20being outside,

30:29it's a whole new playing field

30:30and just the scale

30:32of this week's room reveal

30:33is ginormous.

30:35The plan is,

30:37we've got to do this whole backyard.

30:39This week,

30:40we've got a pretty incredible design

30:42that's been created

30:43by our landscaper, Colin.

30:44Colin draws on his artistic background

30:48to create his landscape designs

30:50and he's never been on the block before.

30:53There's so many trees, Colin.

30:57And this is the little drum.

30:58We're replanting Daleford.

31:00As you are standing on the alfresco,

31:04you will look down

31:05and there'll be some little steps on the right

31:08with some bigger landing steps on the left there.

31:10In the middle of the landing steps,

31:11we're going to have a massive planter

31:13with a beautiful tree in the middle of it.

31:15So then when you step off the steps,

31:17you'll go straight onto pavers.

31:19The pavers will follow down

31:21onto the pool area

31:23where you'll find the pool cabana,

31:25fire pit to the right of that

31:27with veggie gardens around there.

31:29This backyard's point of difference

31:31will probably be the tree selection.

31:33Yeah.

31:34Plant selection's like 90% natives.

31:36We're going to have a lot of trees as well.

31:38Yeah.

31:38Our landscaper prides himself

31:40on selecting trees that suit the area.

31:43You really do want to be looking out

31:44over your garden

31:45that seamlessly blends into the hills behind.

31:49Yeah.

31:50And the other thing,

31:51with our house being so elevated,

31:53I definitely think that

31:55that's a real advantage for us.

31:57It's our main point of difference.

31:58Yeah.

31:58And it's our main point of difference

31:59to show this week in particular.

32:01Yeah.

32:03Em and Ben are hoping to make

32:04the most of this point of difference

32:06by building a wine cellar

32:07underneath the right wing of their house.

32:11But with the way the space is looking at the moment,

32:13they've got a lot of work ahead of them

32:15in order to pull it off by Sunday.

32:17The cellar is currently a concrete slab.

32:22Yeah, it's just the footings.

32:25Nothing that we can even give dimensions for

32:27to start doing some, you know,

32:29cabinetry takeoffs or designs.

32:32Yeah.

32:32Furniture or anything.

32:33Yeah.

32:35Yeah, we won't be able to deliver the cellar

32:36to the level of the boys.

32:37Yes, we will.

32:38I want to finish the cellar

32:40to the same standards as the boys.

32:42As in joinery and things like that.

32:43Yeah.

32:44The boys delivered such an incredible cellar

32:46and at the moment I'm looking around at our cellar

32:48and it looks like a mess.

32:51But they started building their cellar week one.

32:54They did.

32:56So I've just got to get on the phone

32:58and try and find some more carpenters, I reckon.

33:00You need labour.

33:01Find some more help, yeah.

33:02You got the cash, you just need labour.

33:03Yeah.

33:04It just seems a little bit unachievable at the moment.

33:07I just don't know how we're going to pull it off.

33:09It's the first day of Backyard and Pool Week

33:21and the block site is buzzing

33:23with more than 100 tradies

33:25working across all five houses.

33:32And over in House 2,

33:33after an emotional morning for Han,

33:35Can is bringing the positivity.

33:39I'm feeling excited to have some fun with my number one.

33:48And, yeah, it's landscape week.

33:50Huge week ahead of us.

33:52Massive two weeks.

33:53We're going to polish off this.

33:54We're going to come home strong.

33:55We're going to make the most idyllic,

33:57beautiful Japanese Zen garden.

33:59I can see some rocks.

34:00I can see some dirt.

34:01And I'm liking what I'm seeing.

34:02So, before we even came to the block,

34:06we decided we were going to do

34:07a Japanese-inspired garden with Christian Jenkins,

34:10who's an absolute legend

34:11at doing Japanese Zen gardens.

34:14That's the vibe we're going for.

34:16Christian has been on the block twice before.

34:19He was Omar and Oz's landscaper back in Gisborne.

34:22And he designed Mitch and Mark's winning front yard in Hampton.

34:25But, despite his experience,

34:29he's a little worried about the task ahead.

34:32Landscape this whole backyard in one week.

34:34Now, I'm just really nervous.

34:40I feel it's nearly unrealistic

34:43to think that you could landscape this whole backyard in a week.

34:47Anyway, keep calm and drink tea.

34:54Keep calm and drink tea.

34:57House 2's Japanese-inspired backyard

35:00includes sandstone paving

35:02to connect their custom-built fireplace,

35:04pool area and pool cabana.

35:06They'll have grass around the perimeter

35:08and several large rocks scattered throughout.

35:12And to finish the space,

35:14they're going to build custom wooden arbors

35:16inspired by traditional Japanese torii gates.

35:20So, torii gates are used in Japan

35:23as an entry to a sacred place

35:26or a spiritual place.

35:27They're used to separate zones as well.

35:31So, we intend to use them in our garden

35:34to separate out different zones and entryways.

35:39Of course, the girls are so low on budget,

35:41they're planning to make the torii gates themselves

35:44from timber available in my sawmill.

35:48They've also had to pull back on some other plans.

35:50They're no longer able to have a water feature

35:52and they'll be the only team without a sauna.

35:55Not having budget, it's hard.

35:57We all know I'm a perfectionist,

35:59so it's been really hard for me

36:01except that we can't have the champagne on the beer budget.

36:05I think, yeah, we're quite disappointed

36:09with the fact that we haven't been able to give Christian

36:12a bit more money to be more creative.

36:15Anyway, it is what it is.

36:17Sometimes miracles happen on a tight budget.

36:19More money, more problems.

36:21As we reach the end of the competition,

36:26Han and Kan aren't the only ones with money problems.

36:29Most of our teams are running very low on block pucks

36:32and with a backyard pool area

36:34and pool cabana to style this week,

36:36last night I had a surprise for everyone.

36:39Freedom Furniture have decided to give all of you

36:43$10,000 to spend in store for your backyard.

36:46I absolutely love freedom,

36:52so when Scotty announced last night

36:54that we were getting an extra $10,000,

36:55I was wasting no time.

36:57Do you want this?

37:02I had seen some pool furniture

37:04that I would absolutely love.

37:09Do you need it?

37:10I think I would need two of them.

37:12Two.

37:12Perfect.

37:13I got two sun lounges.

37:16I got a large umbrella,

37:17a couple of side tables.

37:19I got some lanterns.

37:21Basically everything that was left in freedom

37:23that I hadn't bought in previous weeks.

37:26Are you gonna, are you gonna,

37:28are you gonna buy it?

37:33Yeah, you've done well.

37:34Thank you so much.

37:36Didn't take me long to spend my money at all.

37:38I've still got some, actually.

37:40Keeping it in the, uh,

37:41keeping it in my back pocket just in case.

37:44And how's lunch going for you?

37:46I'm, I'm absolutely starving,

37:47so it's great.

37:50Love Jats.

37:50Who doesn't love Jats?

37:59Back at the block,

38:00Alicia's tradies are also breaking for lunch.

38:03I'm on smoke-o!

38:05So leave me alone!

38:06I'm on smoke-o!

38:07With so many hungry tradies on site today,

38:11Bunnings are keeping them fueled with a barbecue fundraiser

38:14for a local primary school.

38:17I'm so hungry.

38:18I'm on smoke-o!

38:30Oh, it's a treat!

38:31How sick is that?

38:35Wow!

38:36In house one with their first tree now planted,

38:39Emma and Ben are meeting with Freedom stylist Serena

38:41to discuss furniture options for this week's spaces.

38:44Yes, like that.

38:45I popped together a couple of mood boards

38:50that we can kind of use as inspirations.

38:52I had a consult with Freedom and I went crazy.

38:55I picked some, uh, some sun lounges,

38:58a beautiful bar,

38:59I picked some chairs to go in the backyard

39:01and I set a few styling options as well.

39:05Two, do you reckon two sun lounges?

39:07Two sun lounges.

39:08But after my meeting with Serena,

39:11I could see that the concrete

39:12was all getting set up ready to be poured

39:14and it was...

39:15It just looked like a lot of concrete.

39:17So I mentioned it to Ben really quickly.

39:19It's all just going to be paving,

39:21that whole thing.

39:22What are we going to put on it?

39:26A bit late now.

39:29House one's current landscaping plans

39:31include a large area of pavers

39:33that will flow down from the deck to the pool.

39:35The boys had just spent all morning

39:39forming all this area up.

39:41The truck was, like, on its way,

39:42ready to pour all the concrete,

39:43but it was killing me.

39:44I was like, there's too much concrete here.

39:46Yeah.

39:46It looks like a skate park.

39:48I know we're pressed for time.

39:49Can we potentially just put a little patch

39:51of not concrete in there?

39:55So Em suggested putting just, like,

39:57a big circle in the middle of it

39:58to soften it with a bit of grass,

40:01a bit of greenery.

40:01If we're going to do it,

40:02we need to do it now.

40:04It just needs a big circle there.

40:05Just somewhere there.

40:07Everybody jumped on it

40:08and marked it out,

40:09cut it all out.

40:10I'm really sorry.

40:11I know you're cutting it for time.

40:16I think it'll look better.

40:18Yeah.

40:18Thank you, everyone.

40:19Love, everyone.

40:20Love, everyone.

40:20It's Monday afternoon of Backyard and Pool Week

40:40and concrete has been poured,

40:42paving is going down

40:43and fridges are being stopped.

40:47And over at House 4,

40:49Alicia is escaping the chaos.

40:52What are you doing in there, Alicia?

40:53You've been shopping online, are we?

40:55Yes, I'm block shopping.

40:57I need a couch

40:58and some furniture for outdoor.

41:00Sunny and Alicia are yet to win a room.

41:03However, last night,

41:04they did score a perfect 10 from Darren.

41:08Love Darren.

41:10Which means they get a 10 grand cash injection

41:12to their budget.

41:15We've never seen the big bickies before.

41:17This is new to us

41:18and to be personally delivered our big bickies,

41:20that was pretty cool.

41:20Look at those bickies.

41:23Big bickies.

41:24That's cash.

41:25Wow.

41:27Thank you, Arnett.

41:29Let's start for a moment

41:30about the lack of a win.

41:31Is it hurting

41:32or is it just something you're rolling with?

41:34We want to win.

41:35Yeah.

41:36We would love a win,

41:37but at this point in the game,

41:40we just...

41:40If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

41:41There's no point setting your heart on it.

41:42Nope.

41:43Yeah.

41:44This week is your week.

41:45You're trying my hardest.

41:46Come on.

41:47Trying my hardest.

41:47All right, see you.

41:48See you, mate.

41:49Thanks, Scotty.

41:50Has anyone gone through the block

41:53and not won a win?

41:55Yep.

42:00Season 21.

42:02Sunny and Alicia.

42:05We're losers.

42:06We're big, fat losers.

42:10It's landscape week.

42:11We've got lots to do.

42:13So, my best mate from Adelaide, Jordan.

42:18Second best mate.

42:20He's an excavator.

42:22He owns premium excavations in Adelaide,

42:24and we have a lot of soil to move.

42:27So, we called him up and brought in the big dog.

42:29Oh!

42:30Get in.

42:31G'day, mate.

42:33How you going?

42:34Oh!

42:34I can't breathe.

42:37Oh!

42:37He's a laugh.

42:39He's another version to us.

42:40We're pretty much like a tripod.

42:44We're going to do some work.

42:45Do some digging.

42:46You are, though.

42:46Yeah, absolutely.

42:47That's what I'm here for.

42:48It was just that sense of home and relief and, um, you know, another face, a familiar face

42:54that we could use.

42:55And he is a machine on the machine.

42:58Yeah.

42:58You need to move some dirt.

42:59Very good.

43:00Dirt.

43:00Dirt daddy.

43:01Well, I've got to get him into induction at one o'clock, but then once he's done, he's

43:04all yours.

43:05Unreal.

43:05Loving it, man.

43:06Yeah.

43:10Of course, it's the beginning of Backyard Week.

43:12The facades of the houses are now starting to take shape.

43:23This series of the block, we've got three houses where we've included James Hardy cladding.

43:28You know, the sort of suite of products allowed us to create individual looks.

43:34What I've got in the background behind me, we've got the matrix board in the darker colour,

43:40and then we've got the linear weather board.

43:43House five is Boredom Batten.

43:45Now, it's the fourth time we've done Boredom Batten.

43:49There are so many benefits and reasons why we've done it.

43:52You know, it's about the longevity of the house.

43:55It plays into our sustainability and resilience theme for this year.

43:59Stefan John won the series of the block with a similar look.

44:04Fireproof, wetterproof, termiteproof, and it's going to last a million years.

44:10House four, we've used the stereo cladding.

44:13Like, it really sets off the whole sort of box modern style, which is what this house is.

44:19Yes, can't wait to see this done.

44:20We're so excited that we ended up with this house compared to others because I think it stands out on the block.

44:25So, talk to me about the rocks.

44:37Oh, the old rock saga.

44:39So, house two, the landscaper, asked us to store their rocks for them, and we said, no worries.

44:51They just need to be gone by the end of today.

44:55That was last Thursday.

44:57That was last Thursday.

44:58It's now...

44:59Monday.

45:00And now the fences are up.

45:07Last week, the fences by modular walls started going up, which means teams no longer have easy access between each other's backyards.

45:16You know how I got those rocks delivered next door?

45:19Yeah.

45:20And I still had a few to get around here?

45:23Yeah, you still had, like, four or five.

45:24You used them in the garden.

45:26I've just seen them then.

45:27They're just...they're boxed up on the other side right in the concrete.

45:30I just think that's unbelievably devilish.

45:33When the rocks were there laying next to each other, you couldn't really tell which was which.

45:38When the digger operator moved ours, I think he's picked up a couple of Christians and put them in our garden.

45:46Actually, I reckon it's really cheeky.

45:48And I think there was two big ones of mine that went in there, two flat ones.

45:50No, no, there's not.

45:51No, no.

45:51I haven't got none of your rocks.

45:53I've got natural field granite.

45:54Yours are blue...

45:56They're mine at Hillview.

45:57Yeah.

45:57I've got no Hillview.

45:59I would never contaminate my rocks.

46:00I'd only heard that Christian was quite the sole...namaste guy.

46:09He wasn't very namaste about his rocks.

46:13There's some in the landscape that you've used.

46:15I think there's four in the landscape.

46:17It's just so f***ing cheeky.

46:18That's okay.

46:19Regardless, they're not getting shifted now because you can't get them out because you

46:22can't take an escalator over all the Rio.

46:26Our point of difference to the landscape is these rocks.

46:29Okay.

46:29And now they're in your landscape.

46:31I was like, bro, they all look the same to me.

46:34A rock's a rock.

46:35Well, the thing is, we were lovely enough to be able to store your rocks for you guys.

46:40Yeah.

46:40And for longer than the day, the deal was we would have the rocks there till the end

46:44of that day.

46:45Yeah, that's right.

46:45And they're actually still there.

46:47Yeah.

46:47So I think if anything, we've been doing you guys a favour.

46:51Does that entitle you to use the rocks?

46:53Or someone just had to grab you?

46:54It's on our land.

46:54That's okay.

46:55We just agree to disagree and we get on with it.

46:57It wasn't like, we're stealing these rocks.

47:00No.

47:00It was just like, oh, rocks are there.

47:01They were next to the rocks of ours that looked exactly the same.

47:05As I was saying, our point of difference are those rocks.

47:07Yeah.

47:08And those rocks are now in your garden.

47:12Yeah.

47:12Finders keepers.

47:13Yeah.

47:14Losers weepers.

47:15Tough titties.

47:16Ha ha ha.

47:19Ah!

47:20Ah!

47:24Monday's MG getaway, we went to the lake house at Dalesford.

47:37Oh!

47:38Wow!

47:40This is amazing.

47:44Luxury!

47:45Luxury!

47:48Wow.

47:49This is stunning.

47:50Look at this view.

47:54That place is absolutely insane.

47:56Cheers, mate.

47:58Cheers.

47:59Cheers to the celebration.

48:01Celebrating the cellar.

48:03And three tens.

48:04And three tens, obviously, yes.

48:05Off to dinner, so we were lucky enough to sit in the library area with Scotty.

48:11Just because you've got three tens, we've got beluga caviar donuts.

48:15Oh, nothing starts tonight like a beluga caviar donut.

48:19Oh, you don't get that every day.

48:20Oh!

48:21That's because you've got a 30 out of 30.

48:23And then a special guest arrived.

48:27Ha ha ha!

48:28Hey, guys.

48:29How are you?

48:30In comes Dave Franklin.

48:32Yeah!

48:36Award-winning landscaper Dave Franklin first appeared on the block in 2012.

48:42Over the years, he's worked with several teams to produce some amazing landscaping.

48:46And his designs have taken out the win five times.

48:49Come on!

48:50Meet the new boss!

48:52In recent years, he's come on board as a judge.

48:55And on Sunday, he'll be scoring the team's backyards.

49:00I hear you had a big win last night, so I've got a surprise for you guys.

49:03We had a great week.

49:03Oh!

49:04Oh.

49:04Do you want to do the honours?

49:05And there it is.

49:06$10,000 thanks to MG.

49:09Wow!

49:09We can talk about what you've got to do with this $10,000 on your garden.

49:13Show me the plans.

49:15We're pretty lucky.

49:15We're sitting down with Scotty and Dave Franklin going over our landscaping plans for this week.

49:20So that's a huge advantage.

49:22I do love the fireplace.

49:23I think it's, you know, something that's out of this world.

49:26It's how to make that work with the pool, the pickleball court and everything like that.

49:30He gave us lots of advice on plants and layout as well as we need to put in some mature trees.

49:38I would be trying to get something that looks like it's been here for 10 years.

49:42Okay.

49:42You know, something that tells a story.

49:43Plus block your neighbours out.

49:45Okay, so don't be scared of buying something at four or five metres tall.

49:48When you have someone like Dave with his years of expertise and knowledge giving us a bit of a clearer direction, that really helped.

49:56Oh, you asked me to drop this off.

49:57I did ask you to do that.

49:59It's a first for the lake house.

50:00A toolbox with big biggies on it.

50:02Because the boys scored three 10s last night with a perfect score, 30 out of 30, they also get a massive cash injection to their budget thanks to honours.

50:14Three lots of 10.

50:1730 grand.

50:19And there's another 10.

50:20Hey, there it is.

50:22Let me just see if there's no secret gnomes or anything in here.

50:24No, there's no gnomes, mate.

50:26Cheers, mate.

50:26Congratulations, boys.

50:27Cheers to you.

50:29Well done, guys.

50:29Thanks, mate.

50:30Welcome, Dave.

50:31Good on you, bro.

50:31Thank you, Dave.

50:32Cheers, mate.

50:32We're ordering Macca's for Chump's Dinner.

50:43Oh, Maccy D's.

50:45I'm thinking, like, 10 Big Macs, 10 large fries.

50:50How many Chump's Dinners have you guys attended?

50:52How many weeks have we been here?

50:53We are yet to miss a Chump's Dinner.

50:55I think we are basically the king and queen of Chump's.

50:58Chump and Chumpette.

51:00Dinner is...

51:01Thanks, guys.

51:02Thanks, guys.

51:02Thanks, sir.

51:03Maccy D's.

51:04Yeah, it's a big day on Mondays.

51:06You know, you've got your walk-arounds and then, you know, some head builder might come

51:10and yell at you.

51:11It's not a wine cellar.

51:12If you make it more of a wine cellar and not a bar, then the building surveyor will go,

51:18okay, cool, that's a wine cellar.

51:20Did everyone get approval today from surveyor?

51:22Because the surveyor was coming around today, remember?

51:24Like, to make sure the sheds were above board.

51:27The question was asked about if everyone was compliant, and we just sort of stayed silent.

51:30As the weeks grow on, your battery is more drained, you are more fatigued.

51:37For us, right, if people are constantly coming at us, it does feel personal, so we're just

51:42sort of pulling back a little bit to protect our own space and try and enjoy these last

51:46few weeks.

51:46And it seems Britt and Taz aren't the only ones who are choosing to be tight-lipped with

51:53their neighbours tonight.

51:54There was some chatter around secret gnomes.

51:58Yes.

51:59There's definitely a secret gnomes.

52:01You reckon?

52:02How long have you had the gnomes?

52:04We've had the gnomes since Domaine, so Domaine was like week eight.

52:08So we want a secret gnomes.

52:11So there's a bonus point.

52:15We don't have it.

52:16The boys could have it, though.

52:18The boys could have it.

52:19I want the gnome.

52:21We're doing a very good job at playing along and pretending that we don't know even what

52:26a secret gnome is.

52:28A secret gnome's different.

52:29You have to say, hey, Scotty.

52:31We want to play our secret gnome, and everyone's like, what?

52:34Oh, really?

52:34Yep.

52:35So we're definitely going to use the gnome on Sunday?

52:37Because we can't use the gnome next week.

52:39The gnome is deleted after this week, so we have to play it.

52:44Everyone feeling good for tomorrow?

52:45I'm excited for more obstacles to overcome tomorrow, and yeah, like, let's see what goes

52:52wrong.

52:53Yeah, I just can't wait for that.

52:54Who's ripping up their concrete tomorrow?

52:56Yeah.

52:59Tomorrow night, the question is answered.

53:02It's about 10mm over 100mm.

53:03This may have to be ripped up.

53:05Oh, it looks like we're going to have to lose all this paving.

53:07Pulling up the slab of concrete was the last thing that we wanted to do.

53:10Oh, my God.

53:12Are you serious?

53:14Devastating.

53:18Iceberg!

53:18Dead ahead!

53:20Also, the backyards continue to take shape.

53:24It's the biggest wood on the block, my arbor.

53:27Now, that's an arbor.

53:28That's huge.

53:29Art Han and Ken struggle to get on the same page.

53:35Candice has just snubbed the Kibana.

53:37I'm not doing what everyone else is doing.

53:39And where does that get us?

53:40The bottom of the leaderboard.

53:42The Kibana is a Kibana.

53:43And that is all it shall be.

53:45Oh, my God, Candice, you're driving me absolutely bonkers.

53:46Please stop.
