00:00It's been nearly 12 weeks on the block.

00:04We have cried.

00:07We have celebrated.

00:10We have felt every emotion.

00:13I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

00:16That's what the block's about.

00:17And it all comes down to this week.

00:18Final week of the block.

00:19Front yard and front facade week.

00:22It's the week to win.

00:24Tonight.

00:24Cheers.

00:25Let's get to work.

00:26House 2's front facade is growing nowhere fast.

00:30House 2's done nothing all day.

00:32That's our landscape.

00:33One rock.

00:34Nothing's happening.

00:35Why is nothing happening?

00:36What is the plan?

00:38I'm getting worried now.

00:39The only thing growing at House 5 is the landscaper's bill.

00:43We don't have the money.

00:45Robbie and Matt, they're going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat here.

00:47I need to pay my guys.

00:49And a front facade faux pas shocks the block.

00:53That's awful.

00:54Is it real?

00:54Looks good.

00:55But what were you really thinking?

00:57It's f***ing terrible.

00:58That has just knocked them out of the competition.

01:03Ah!

01:04Ow!

01:05Ow!

01:07Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, at night.

01:11Day and night.

01:13And I'm going to be lonely and see the breeze behind the night.

01:16Ah, ah, at night.

01:25Monday morning, it's foggy as hell.

01:32It's two degrees.

01:34Did you say Monday morning?

01:35Tuesday morning.

01:37Foggy as hell.

01:39Very big.

01:40Got a bit of block brain.

01:43You said block brain?

01:44Had a bit of block brain.

01:45You did.

01:46I feel like you've had a lot of that.

01:48Wow.

01:48Even week one.

01:49Whoa.

01:50To confirm, it's Tuesday morning on the final week of the block.

01:58Our teams have just six days till they reveal their front facade, the final element to completing their homes.

02:05This week is not only about delivering a show-stopping front yard, each team has also been presented with a list of issues inside their homes that have to be rectified.

02:18We need to get 237 defects done by Sunday.

02:21Yep.

02:22As well as a front yard.

02:27When did you become a comedian, Dad?

02:28You're so funny.

02:31The couple with the most defects aren't even on site this morning.

02:35As they were treated to their first getaway of the season.

02:42Party, run!

02:43To celebrate Alicia turning f***ing years old.

02:48Yeah, last night we stayed in here at the Royal in Zalesford.

02:52The publican put us up when he heard it was Alicia's birthday.

02:55So, just let her have a bit of a sleep in and come back to pick her up.

02:59Let's go!

03:00Yeah.

03:00That's what I said, need the key.

03:05We tried to get for the water.

03:07Yeah, so we got chumps the other way.

03:08It was great.

03:10Bed was so comfy.

03:11Did you have the heated blanket on?

03:13I was by no way heated up.

03:15I was.

03:16Woke up on fire.

03:17My first shower in, in 83 days.

03:20It's hard to shower.

03:22First proper shower.

03:23Yes.

03:23Yeah.

03:24Not in the, first non-caravan shower.

03:26Yes, thank you.

03:27I washed my hair and everything.

03:28Oh, so good.

03:30That was 100% the reset that we needed.

03:33We're back, back on site today.

03:35We're going to have some fun.

03:36We're going to laugh and we're going to win this week.

03:39What a week for House 4 to potentially bag their first room win of the season.

03:45What's up for grabs this week?

03:47Well, I'll tell you what's up for grabs.

03:49If we're going to do this again, let's get the handsome fella back.

03:53We have two MGs.

03:55One MGU.

03:57MGU that will sit in the driveway and get sold with the house auction day.

04:00One MGs coming home with us and $50,000 off your reserve of money.

04:06That's the biggest win.

04:07You've got to be going hard this week to win this

04:09because that can be the difference between winning the block.

04:12Okay.

04:13Okay.

04:13Here we go.

04:14All right, let's move on from taking the piss out of a national treasure

04:17and check in with House 2.

04:21Or as the girls want their home to be known as,

04:24Flow Estate.

04:28So tell me about the term Flow Estate.

04:31Yeah, so Flow Estate is a play on the words Flow Estate.

04:35We've got lots of curves and rounded skylights and features.

04:40We want the inside and the outside to have that flow.

04:43We want you to, like, enter the home and feel enveloped

04:46that you're on a journey and that things are moving calmly.

04:51But staying calm...

04:52Can you just stop getting up me?

04:53Because I'm going to lose it in a minute.

04:55..has been in short supply for the girls this week.

04:57So much so that their builder, Shan,

04:59stepped in with a solution to bring back some Flow Estate.

05:03You go get the paint.

05:04You go organise the list, please.

05:06Hannah stays outside.

05:08Can stays inside.

05:09And no bickering this week.

05:11And the hope is this new sense of House 2, Harmony and Flow,

05:16will extend into their front facade design.

05:18This week, we're continuing our theme with Christian Jenkins,

05:22who's doing a Japanese-inspired landscape.

05:25We've been to some Airbnbs with Japanese gardens,

05:28and we just feel like they're very zen.

05:31A big focus on curves, a big focus on tranquility.

05:35We always want to do a point of difference,

05:37but feeling particularly inspired by Japan.

05:41Hey, stop there.

05:42Just because it's Japanese-themed,

05:46we're not using a questionably tasteless headline like this.

05:50Or music like this.

05:54Or this sound effect.

05:57We're better than that.

05:58And so are the girls,

06:00who surely won't go down the cliche route.

06:03I get random spurts of creativity,

06:06and I just thought,

06:07wouldn't it be cool if we had

06:11a big Tory gate above the driveway as a statement?

06:18Do you think it's cultural appropriation?

06:21What?

06:22Tory gates.

06:23Who's Tory gates?

06:25Judges' feedback last week was

06:27the Tory gates were a little bit hidden.

06:32So Han decided to stick a really big one

06:34somewhere really obvious.

06:36As well as their Tory gate,

06:38their front yard features

06:40a relaxing zen garden,

06:42a decorative rock sculpture house,

06:45and timber armour.

06:49Front facade is a first impression of a home.

06:53What sets the tone for the rest of the house?

06:55What better than a three metre

06:57Japanese-inspired Tory gate

06:59over our driveway?

07:01It's bigger than three metres.

07:02Last week we came out on the bottom,

07:07but this week we're coming back

07:09with a fury and a vengeance,

07:11and we're going to pull it off.

07:12I hear you know I hear you know

07:14I hear trouble coming

07:17I hear trouble coming

07:19I hear trouble coming

07:21Over at House Five,

07:24there's a question mark

07:26over whether they'll even finish this week

07:28as the budget battles between them

07:30and their landscaper continue.

07:34We had told him from day one

07:36our budget for the landscaping in total

07:40was $70,000.

07:42To do the job of front yard and backyard.

07:44This is it.

07:46The budget the boys allocated

07:48was to cover the likes of a flowing garden,

07:51a beautiful water feature,

07:53and meandering Tuscan sand paths.

07:55But yesterday their landscaper, Paul,

07:59informed them of an additional unforeseen cost

08:01on top of their $70,000 budget.

08:04We're pretty shocked

08:06because he's probably 50% over the money we've allocated.

08:10We've got $34,000.

08:12Outstanding.

08:13Sorry, what?

08:14There's $20,000 that's gone

08:16from excessive engineering.

08:22MASH extra labour and custom poured footings.

08:25I didn't know about any of this.

08:27How is this not communicated?

08:30The communication hasn't been phenomenal.

08:34So I don't want there to be any expectation on us

08:37to pay more.

08:39That's not how it's going to work.

08:41Yeah.

08:41Front gravel path rebuild

08:43and extra drainage

08:44to legal point of discharge, $11,000.

08:47It's $11,000.

08:48Yeah.

08:48That was where we made him pull it all up

08:50to do the aggie drain.

08:51Is your landscaper here?

08:52He is.

08:53I reckon he's out the back.

08:54Yeah, he's gone ahead

08:55and done all these works.

08:57Yeah.

08:58Without doing any sort of inspections or anything.

09:01Do you remember receiving that email?

09:03Sub-grade inspections must be completed

09:05by a representative from nine and six.

09:09We need to see what's below this

09:10just to make sure we've got a good solid base.

09:12This is all going to be ripped up.

09:13He never took the time to read it all,

09:19open up the attached documents

09:21and fully understand what he had to do.

09:25I think that $11,000 one's on him

09:27for him not reading plans

09:29and taking the time to understand what was required.

09:31In total, there was about $29,000 worth

09:36of unforeseen costs on his end.

09:39I reckon you could at least halve that

09:40from what I'm hearing.

09:42Yeah, but there's no money to pay for half of it.

09:44No money to pay for a dollar of it.

09:46I mean, zero.

09:46The only way we're going to finish this landscaping

09:52is if he finishes it and it's the 70K,

09:54which we've already paid.

09:57And if he doesn't,

09:58then we give him what we can and he walks.

10:00You kind of need to...

10:01You want to...

10:02You know, you have to finish your landscape.

10:03Yeah, I know, but it's more the fact of

10:05he's wanting money, we can't get it.

10:08I don't feel like he should still be working.

10:13Robbie and Matt,

10:13they're going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat here

10:15because they need Paul to stay

10:17and finish his front yard.

10:18They're going to have to somehow negotiate

10:20something here with him.

10:22It's a variation bill that they didn't know about.

10:24Some of the variations I don't agree with,

10:26so there is room to negotiate.

10:29They need a front yard to sell the home.

10:30If you don't have a front yard or if it's left like this,

10:34they're not going to win the block.

10:35They might not even sell.

10:39Ah!

10:41Ow!

10:41It's front yard and facade week on the block.

10:49Over the past 82 days,

10:51the blockheads have turned empty spaces

10:53into show-stopping rooms.

10:55Holy...

10:56..and one team are hoping to repeat the trick

10:59for the final time this week.

11:01Game on, Moss.

11:03Wow.

11:04Last week's winners, Emma and Ben,

11:06are finally back from their MG getaway

11:08to get stuck back in the block life.

11:10All right, that's off.

11:12That's on.

11:13Let's get to work.

11:14And speaking of stuck...

11:16Definitely in reverse.

11:17Yeah.

11:21Hold on for a second.

11:24Guess what I just saw.

11:25What?

11:264D doors.

11:28House 3.

11:29Garage door.

11:30We've got a bit of a reveal for our garage door.

11:33It's a risk.

11:34But...

11:34So let me...

11:35There's a lot on the line this week.

11:36We thought we'd go big.

11:37So the plan is to have

11:40this beautiful Indigenous artwork

11:41going on the garage door

11:43from Troy Firebrace to the Jar Jar people,

11:45but we don't want to display that

11:47so early on in the week

11:49so other people can, you know, alter their plans.

11:51So the plan is to cover it up

11:53with something...

11:55A bit light-hearted.

11:56Their secret weapon,

11:58a one-of-a-kind Indigenous artwork

12:00on their garage door,

12:01will be covered until Sunday

12:03with a unique Graphico creation.

12:05Damien from Graphico,

12:07there's nothing he can't do.

12:08He has created

12:10a beige dot

12:11abstract photo

12:13of myself and Britt

12:14holding two drills,

12:17standing back-to-back.

12:20And it's awful.

12:21But it's believable

12:24if you think we're flogs.

12:28So you've got your faces

12:29on your garage door?

12:30Yeah.

12:30To be clear.

12:31But subtly,

12:33not like in your face space.

12:34It's at a space,

12:35so it goes to the theme of the house.

12:36Troy!

12:37Troy!

12:38Would you put your face

12:39on your garage?

12:40Yeah, Troy's well aware

12:41of what we're doing.

12:42I'd buy it.

12:43I wish there's just Taz

12:44just there in his budget.

12:45Taz goes like this.

12:51Dan doesn't know.

12:52Is Dan falling for it?

12:54Dan is completely falling for it.

12:56I think it's...

12:56I don't know.

12:58He pulled us aside.

13:00Numerous times.

13:01Told us,

13:02do not do it.

13:03Off camera,

13:04called Troy,

13:05our landscaper,

13:05and said,

13:06Troy!

13:07I'm worried for him.

13:09He can't do it.

13:10Troy says,

13:12nah,

13:12we've got to sell

13:13Taz and Brit.

13:15This is their story.

13:16Dan hung up the phone.

13:19And, like,

13:20it's selling it to Dan,

13:21but as soon as it goes up tomorrow,

13:23we have to sell it

13:24to everyone else on the block.

13:24Everyone else on the block.

13:25F***!

13:29With 24 hours

13:31till that big reveal,

13:32the biggest one,

13:33the blockhead's front yard,

13:34is only six days away.

13:36Will you be here all week?

13:37Do you reckon you'll get out?

13:38I've got no idea.

13:39Time disappears very quickly

13:40around here.

13:40And the prize of $50,000

13:42off your reserve

13:43is the kind of coin

13:45some houses

13:46could do with now.

13:48It'd be great

13:49to have, like,

13:50$50,000 budget

13:51for front yard week

13:52and really rip into it.

13:56That's our landscape,

13:58one rock.

14:00It's minimalism.

14:02Yep,

14:03with this week's

14:04suggested budget

14:04for the front yard

14:05set at $20,000,

14:08plus defects

14:09to sort out,

14:10houses are feeling

14:11to pinch.

14:12So let's check in

14:13with a team

14:13who are masters

14:14at counting the coin.

14:18Here they are.

14:19Hi, mate.

14:20This is great to see.

14:22So all carpentry's

14:23only done in here?

14:24Yeah, it's all done.

14:25Now we've got a gap

14:26in paint?

14:27Yeah.

14:27So you'll be out of here

14:28in a couple of days?

14:29Hopefully out of here

14:30maybe tomorrow,

14:31what's today?

14:31Tuesday, yeah,

14:32maybe.

14:32Wednesday or Thursday,

14:33depending on what happens

14:34outside.

14:34We've got the last

14:35of everything this week.

14:36We'd hate to walk

14:37out of here

14:37without a win.

14:42We seem to keep

14:43getting pipped

14:44because we just

14:45don't have that

14:45little 1% thing

14:46to tick us over.

14:47So this week

14:49we're putting a big

14:50$260,000 caravan

14:52in the front.

14:54Yes, the quarter

14:54million dollar caravan

14:55they won back

14:56in week six

14:56will be their

14:57front yard showpiece.

14:58Along with a small

15:02seating area

15:03outside the guest

15:04bedroom.

15:06Generous lawn space

15:07and the only team

15:09to have a second

15:09driveway.

15:12Quintessential

15:12Aussie front yard.

15:15With a caravan

15:15in the front.

15:16We've left nothing

15:17in the bank,

15:18nothing in the tank.

15:20This is the last

15:20chance.

15:22We paid all your bills,

15:23sonny.

15:23We paid all our bills,

15:24mate.

15:24We paid every single

15:25bill we got.

15:25Every cent accounted

15:26for.

15:28How it should be.

15:28Our landscaper

15:32says that we owe

15:34him $30,000

15:35of unforeseen

15:36costs.

15:37We have to

15:38address the issue

15:38today and come

15:40up with a solution.

15:41Yeah, talk about

15:42where we are

15:43moving forward

15:43to get it all

15:44forward.

15:45We've never

15:46experienced someone

15:47just putting it

15:48on an extra

15:48nearly 50%

15:49on top of a

15:50bill.

15:52So Dan said

15:53there is room

15:54to, you know,

15:55negotiate it.

15:57We don't have

15:57the money

15:58to give him.

16:00We agreed on

16:01$70,000

16:01to do the job

16:03of front yard

16:03and backyard.

16:05So the boys

16:06have literally

16:06come to the table

16:07with their

16:08landscaper,

16:09Paul,

16:09and his wife

16:10and business

16:10partner,

16:11Carmen,

16:11to attempt

16:12to find

16:12a resolution.

16:13So we need

16:15to work out

16:16either is Paul

16:16going to finish

16:17the job

16:17or is he

16:18going to leave

16:18the job

16:19and Matt

16:19and I

16:19will finish

16:19it with

16:20our terrible

16:21landscaping

16:21skills.

16:22I guess,

16:23long story

16:23short,

16:23we are stoked

16:24with the

16:24backyard.

16:25It could not

16:25be better

16:26if we tried

16:27and we are

16:27so happy

16:28with you guys

16:28being our

16:29landscapers

16:29versus what

16:31do we do

16:31moving forward

16:31because at the end

16:32of the day,

16:32Matt and I,

16:33we don't have

16:34the money.

16:37That's full stop.

16:39We've got maybe

16:39five grand.

16:42At the absolute

16:43max,

16:44that's going to be

16:44cutting back

16:45from finishing

16:46the house.

16:47Yeah,

16:48so we can't

16:48finish everything

16:49inside.

16:51Like,

16:52so the money

16:52is still

16:53outstanding

16:53for my business.

16:54I,

16:55I'm only a small

16:56business,

16:56so do I have

16:57to take that

16:58front and go

16:59at a loss?

16:59I'm not sure

17:00the answer

17:00that answer is.

17:01I don't think

17:02that's fair.

17:06But also,

17:07it's probably

17:08not fair.

17:09there wasn't

17:10any communication

17:12to say,

17:13hey guys,

17:13we're five grand

17:14over budget.

17:15Hey guys,

17:15we're ten grand

17:16over budget.

17:17Hey guys,

17:17we're 15 grand.

17:18It was.

17:21It was

17:22communicated clearly.

17:23You guys are

17:23so flat out.

17:24I've got texts

17:25here.

17:25I've got proof here.

17:28It's even been

17:29on camera.

17:29Robbie said

17:30we've got an

17:30extra 20 grand

17:31from Combank,

17:32was it?

17:33It was there.

17:34So the money

17:35was there.

17:36I was going

17:36off the money

17:37I thought

17:37you had.

17:39I need

17:40to pay

17:40my guys.

17:55It's probably

17:56not fair.

17:57There wasn't

17:58any communication

18:00to say,

18:01hey guys,

18:01we're five grand

18:02over budget.

18:02Hey guys,

18:04over budget.

18:04Hey guys,

18:05we're 15 grand.

18:06It was.

18:09It was

18:10communicated clearly.

18:11Look,

18:11it's crazy,

18:12crazy.

18:13You're so busy

18:14and you probably

18:14just looked at

18:15the text message

18:17or the email

18:17really quickly.

18:18These are all

18:19the different

18:19invoices.

18:20And then I'll

18:21put here,

18:22hi Matt,

18:22balance owing

18:23from 22nd of May

18:24to 52k.

18:26There's,

18:26yeah,

18:27it's constant.

18:27There's emails

18:28and all that sort of stuff.

18:29Robbie said

18:29we've got an extra

18:2920 grand

18:30from Combank,

18:31was it?

18:32It was said

18:33I was going off

18:34the money

18:35I thought you had.

18:36Matt and I said

18:36look,

18:36we probably can get

18:37you $20,000

18:38and I said

18:38I will confirm

18:39with you

18:39once we know

18:40exactly how much

18:41we've got.

18:42It might have been

18:42a little bit

18:43of miscommunication.

18:45Being in this

18:46situation,

18:47number one,

18:48we feel like

18:48we're letting Paul

18:49down

18:49when it's not

18:52either of our

18:53intent

18:54or what we're

18:55about.

18:57Yeah,

18:57I just don't know

18:58what the next move

18:59is for us.

18:59Number two,

19:02we feel like

19:03you know,

19:04we don't have

19:05the money

19:05to give him

19:07for what he's

19:09wanting and

19:10expecting.

19:11We obviously,

19:12we put our hand

19:13up straight away

19:13and if you guys,

19:14you know,

19:14we can't afford you

19:15then we have to

19:16finish the job

19:16by ourselves

19:17which we don't want.

19:18Well,

19:18I said I'd do

19:19the front.

19:20I'm happy

19:21to follow through.

19:23Paul,

19:23you know,

19:24we give him credit

19:26because he wants

19:27to finish the job.

19:28He wants to finish

19:29a beautiful front yard

19:30for house five

19:31on the block.

19:32I guess we just

19:33have to go away

19:34and work out

19:34where we can cut

19:35costs.

19:35You know,

19:35sending plants

19:36back,

19:37cancelling labourers.

19:38You can use

19:38Matt and I

19:39at your disposal

19:39for whatever

19:41you need us to do.

19:42A hundred percent.

19:42We are going to do

19:44absolutely everything

19:45we can

19:46to get as much

19:47money as we can

19:48to give

19:49to Paul.

19:50We're going to try

19:51our best to make

19:52whatever we can

19:53happen.

19:54Yeah.

19:56In my head,

19:56I'm like,

19:57okay,

19:57if we win a challenge,

19:57bang,

19:58ten grand straight to you.

19:58And this week is,

19:59you know,

20:00double car

20:01and 50k off

20:02your reserve.

20:03Maybe give us a car.

20:04The main solution

20:07was that we finish.

20:08That's the only goal

20:09this week,

20:09that we finish

20:10our front yard.

20:11So Matt and I

20:12are just rolling

20:12up our sleeves

20:13and be Paul's labourers

20:14for a couple of days.

20:15So you're out helping.

20:16How are we going

20:17with defects inside?

20:20Couldn't give a

20:20****.

20:22Couldn't give a

20:23****.

20:30The difference

20:31in protection

20:31as you look up

20:32and back?

20:33Oh, nothing.

20:33What's going on?

20:35House two's done

20:36nothing all day,

20:37really,

20:38just throwing rock

20:38out the back.

20:41Nice size rocks.

20:43Yeah,

20:43beautiful.

20:46Landscaping

20:46may be slow going,

20:48but the girls

20:48are getting things

20:49done as they're

20:50sticking to

20:50Shan's separation

20:51order.

20:53Inside can

20:53is on defect

20:54duty.

20:59An outside hand

21:00is on a shopping

21:01mission.

21:01So we're

21:07sort of doing

21:07like a Japanese

21:08Zen garden.

21:09And so far,

21:10Shan's plan

21:11has seen a sharp

21:12decline in bickering.

21:13We're chasing

21:14a water feature.

21:19Bye, honey.

21:21Did you get my

21:21text messages?

21:22It's Toscan

21:24path Northcote

21:25potteries.

21:26We could put one

21:27out on the

21:28barbecue area

21:29or alfresco.

21:31That's what I'm

21:31thinking.

21:32It's not,

21:33the backyard's

21:34not going to be

21:34judged,

21:35so.

21:36I know,

21:36but I'm trying to

21:37sort out a deal,

21:38all right?

21:38So just go with it

21:40and say which one

21:40you like,

21:41please.

21:42It's feeling a bit

21:43tense and awkward

21:44again,

21:45so let's move on.

21:46Oh, look,

21:47there's Alicia.

21:48Hello.

21:48What can we do

21:49for you today?

21:49I need lots of

21:50paint, please.

21:54I think I ended

21:55up with 77 litres

21:58of paint.

22:00I love painting.

22:01I find it

22:02therapeutic.

22:04I f***ing hate

22:06painting.

22:09Now,

22:09how's your front

22:10yard progressing?

22:10I've got the ramp

22:11going in,

22:12tiles,

22:13all our trees

22:14out the front.

22:14We're reversing

22:15our caravan in

22:16as that's being

22:17sold with the

22:17house.

22:18We've lined up

22:19a little sneaky

22:20car to stay

22:22in our driveway.

22:23I'd commandeered

22:23the MG.

22:25The ute that's

22:26up for grabs.

22:27I wanted to show

22:27the amenity

22:28of our place.

22:29Two driveways.

22:30Yep,

22:30two driveways.

22:31So you can

22:32buy that house,

22:33you will have

22:34the caravan

22:34and hopefully

22:35an MG ute.

22:37We're putting

22:37it out to the

22:38universe.

22:40Caravan,

22:40car,

22:41house.

22:43Win the block.

22:45Toodaloo.

22:46And so day

22:4782 concludes

22:49on the block.

22:50No, sorry,

22:52no commercials yet.

22:53As I've literally

22:54just been told,

22:55there's a surprise

22:56for me in my

22:57sawmill.

22:58And I genuinely

23:00have no idea

23:01what it is.

23:02Ricky!

23:05Hello, Gil.

23:06You look good,

23:07Scotty.

23:08Looking very nice.

23:09So the end of

23:09Tuesday,

23:11we take Scotty

23:12into his sawmill.

23:13It's quite bizarre

23:14summoning Scotty

23:15to his own sawmill

23:16when normally he's

23:16the one doing it

23:17for us and reading

23:17us for filth.

23:18I have been summoned

23:19and that's the first

23:21time that's ever

23:22happened to me before.

23:23Who do you people

23:24pick you up?

23:26What's going on?

23:27Welcome.

23:28Hello.

23:29Hello.

23:30He was a bit

23:31taken aback at first,

23:32I think.

23:32He didn't know

23:33what was going on.

23:33Didn't know

23:34what was going on.

23:34I think he thought

23:35it was an absolute

23:35stitch up.

23:36What are we doing?

23:37Am I going to get

23:38some feedback?

23:41Pop, pop down,

23:41Scotty.

23:42This is our show

23:42at the moment, mate.

23:43Sorry, my apologies.

23:45I've been asked

23:46to be the spokesperson,

23:48which is a big honour.

23:49Right.

23:51Here we go.

23:51Are you nervous?

23:54No, not at all, mate.

23:55You should be.

23:56You should be.

23:59Scotty.

23:59Yes.

24:00What a pleasure

24:01to be standing up

24:02here in your place.

24:03Who would have

24:04thought in 11 and a half

24:05weeks that we've been

24:06here, we would not

24:07have only built a

24:08whole house, but we

24:10get the opportunity

24:10to take your place

24:11in front of the camera.

24:13Don't worry, mate.

24:14I won't get too

24:15comfortable.

24:17You don't look

24:18comfortable at all.

24:18For all of us

24:21that stand here

24:22in front of you

24:22and no doubt

24:23the previous blockheads,

24:24you've been so supportive

24:25and it's not often

24:26that you get any thanks.

24:29All that we seem

24:29to do is whinge

24:30about our scores,

24:32ask for more money,

24:34bicker between

24:34ourselves and generally

24:36be a thorn in your side.

24:38So today we get

24:39to say thanks.

24:41We've all come down

24:42here at one stage

24:42and found you

24:43tinkering away

24:44on the saws

24:44and the woodmiser.

24:45Seeing you

24:46on that woodmiser

24:46the first day

24:47was like watching

24:48a child going

24:49down the slide

24:49for the first time.

24:52It was.

24:53Big smile on your face

24:54looking like you're

24:55not going to let

24:56anyone else near it.

24:59We've managed

25:00to commandeer

25:01a portable

25:03woodmiser

25:07LX-50

25:08of your very own.

25:09He was chuffed.

25:18I thought he was

25:19going to cry.

25:20Is that mine?

25:21That's yours mate.

25:22Yours Scotty.

25:22That's yours.

25:23So on behalf

25:24of the 2025 Blockheads

25:25we'd like to thank you

25:26for a great season

25:27and we can't wait

25:29to see what wonderful

25:30creations you build

25:31with this.

25:32You're leading Scotty.

25:32Thanks for that.

25:33Thank you Scotty.

25:33Well this is the

25:38nicest thing that's

25:39ever happened to me

25:40in my life.

25:41It's absolutely

25:41incredible.

25:42He nearly got

25:43emotional yeah.

25:44He did have a tear

25:45in his eye.

25:46He was like

25:46That is so unreal.

25:50I've never been

25:51given a gift before.

25:52And you know what?

25:53Scotty's not really

25:54much of a hugger.

25:56This is unprecedented

25:56for me.

25:57I thank you so much

25:59and I feel

26:00which I've never

26:01done before

26:02a group hug.

26:03Yes.

26:08We love you Scotty.

26:10Probably the number

26:11one thing we get

26:11asked out in the streets

26:12is how's Scotty Cam?

26:14How's Scotty Cam?

26:15What's he like

26:15in real life?

26:16He's fantastic.

26:17Yeah he's fantastic.

26:18He's like a dud

26:18and he's one of

26:19the best humans

26:20I've ever met.

26:20Yeah.

26:21And we're so

26:21very fortunate

26:22and lucky to be here.

26:23Yeah we are.

26:24Now you guys

26:25are paying for

26:25the transport.

26:28Scotty on camera

26:29and off camera

26:30is the same bloke

26:31that you see.

26:31He's a good man.

26:32But he's also

26:33got a soft heart.

26:34I've been doing

26:34this for a long time.

26:35I've been at

26:36Channel 9 for 26 years

26:41That's really

26:41so it's wonderful.

26:45Okay you can go

26:46to the edge now

26:47before I cry.

26:48Oh.

26:48It feels just like

27:11a little blur

27:12of three months.

27:13This has been

27:14our whole life

27:15day in day out.

27:16We have cried.

27:17We have celebrated.

27:19We have felt

27:20every emotion.

27:22Exhilarating.

27:23Depleted.

27:24Depressing.

27:25Happy.

27:25Sad.

27:26You know even

27:26when you are

27:27kicked off site

27:28your mind does not

27:29stop.

30:30plus multiple sections

30:31with timber decking

30:32yeah we've probably got three decks to build

30:36so we've still got our work cut out for us

30:38but our landscape is coming in tomorrow

30:40to smash out the rest of the front yard

30:42I'm feeling good with where we're at

30:43we still have a big week ahead of us

30:45but I think it's achievable

30:47we think we've probably got the biggest area to landscape

30:50we'll see what everybody else delivers

30:54but I think we've got a strong front yard

30:56yeah

30:57house won't officially have the biggest area to landscape

31:01with their neighbour one of the smallest

31:03although given its size

31:06outside her is progressing slowly

31:09on the front

31:12where that garden bed is

31:15what sort of plants are we putting in there?

31:17I'd like to put some bamboo in some pots

31:20yeah

31:21I was looking around

31:22and I was just like

31:24what's happening?

31:25nothing's happening

31:26why is nothing happening?

31:29we'll be right

31:30what sort of pots?

31:51he's a creative

31:52but he moves at his own pace

31:54um

32:02these two boulders aren't they?

32:03yeah

32:08we can see structures

32:09and plants going in

32:11and we're like

32:12rolling dirt around

32:14what is the plan?

32:18everyone showed their cards early

32:20we're not showing ours

32:22we're keeping our garden a secret

32:25I know there's a plan

32:27I know that he'll get it done

32:28I know that he's like

32:29the hardest worker ever

32:31but for me it's uncomfortable

32:32when things aren't happening

32:34especially after last week

32:36I think we're like

32:37yeah

38:12I would not be

38:24oh look

38:25Han is very strong minded

38:29and when she's caught in a negative spiral

38:32it's hard to pull her out

38:33okay so look at everyone else's

38:36I'm focused on the front yard

40:39a mere four days before our blockheads

41:09I'm a geologist

41:10it's on my land by the way

41:12nah

41:14fool's gold

41:15fool's gold

41:16alright

41:17that's why Dan found it

41:19thank you for coming out

41:31yeah

41:31just trying to plan the front yard

41:33the lighting is a huge aspect

41:35so

41:35it's really important that we get this right

41:37yeah absolutely

41:38what are we thinking?

41:39so there's going to be lots of trees

41:40so I was thinking of using the spike lights

41:42I mean we've got a lot of options for outdoor lighting

41:44it's a lot of people's first impressions to the house

41:47so we have to make sure that it really stands out

41:49absolutely

41:49feeling okay

41:51the boys from Love It Landscaping

41:52a bit of progress outside

41:54I think we're going to have a beautiful front yard

41:57and I think the garage door

41:59that is great

42:02the real one

42:03is going to be really incredible

42:07it's a statement piece

42:08the water features statement piece

42:10the $30,000 outdoor cinema is a statement piece

42:13like we've thrown everything at this front yard

42:14because $50,000 off the reserve is amazing

42:16and imagine walking away with an MG

42:18and parking one in the driveway

42:20it's the weight to win

42:22yeah

42:23a lot at stake

42:23what's it been?

42:30ah not a lot

42:32just putting a landscape together

42:34who would you say

42:36is the hardest worker

42:38out of Em and Ben?
