00:00:06Winning this week's prize.

00:00:08Not one, but two MGs

00:00:10and 50 grand off their auction reserve price

00:00:13thanks to Bunnings.

00:00:14How good is that?

00:00:16I think it's just a missed opportunity.

00:00:18That's stunning.

00:00:19Think about the elephant in the room.

00:00:21It's all come down to this.

00:00:23I mean, it could win or lose this competition.

00:00:28Previously.

00:00:28No.

00:00:29No, more previously than that.

00:01:16Welcome to the block.

00:01:17We're going island-like.

00:01:19Including this block.

00:01:20The perfect setting for season 21 of the block.

00:01:25Let's go.

00:01:26Matt, at some point you threaten

00:01:38that you're going to tell everybody

00:01:40what you think of them.

00:01:42Yeah.

00:01:43Let it rip.

00:01:45Em and Ben.

00:01:48Bore rich!

00:01:50Get some personality and something fun to say.

00:01:52I love Em and Ben.

00:01:56They are the sweetest, kindest people.

00:01:59House 2.

00:02:01Oh my God.

00:02:02Where do I start?

00:02:04Can is emotionless.

00:02:09Han doesn't even know that she's on a TV show yet.

00:02:12We're at week 13.

00:02:14Get off.

00:02:15Get off.

00:02:16I'm struggling to get up.

00:02:17Are you right?

00:02:19Do you know what?

00:02:20I've really enjoyed getting to know them

00:02:22and meeting them

00:02:23and

00:02:23Can is probably one of the funniest people

00:02:26we've ever met.

00:02:28Is there any possibility of

00:02:29a little beverage, you know?

00:02:34Literally anything that's going to lubricate my throat.

00:02:37Um, Brit and Taz.

00:02:39Two cameras, master interview.

00:02:41The last one.

00:02:42Brit and Taz.

00:02:43Brit and Taz.

00:02:44Bop.

00:02:47Sweet.

00:02:48As.

00:02:49Pie.

00:02:50Brit's calculated.

00:02:52Love her.

00:02:53But she's playing a game.

00:02:55Taz is just here for the ride.

00:02:57Who have we got?

00:02:57Sonny and Lee.

00:02:58Final master interview.

00:03:02This is us.

00:03:04Oh, scream.

00:03:06Scream.

00:03:07Yell.

00:03:08Scream.

00:03:09They're my favourite people I've ever met.

00:03:11I love them.

00:03:12She is call a spade a spade.

00:03:15But don't cross her

00:03:16because she'll throat punch you.

00:03:19Absolutely.

00:03:20And then we've got this one.

00:03:22Steals your breakfast.

00:03:23Eats your breakfast.

00:03:24Makes you come on a show that you don't know

00:03:26and then you fall in love with it

00:03:27and changes your life.

00:03:28Made me fall in love with it.

00:03:29He got me on a TV show

00:03:30after a decade of asking me.

00:03:32And do you know what?

00:03:32I've loved the entire experience.

00:03:39We're just over 27 hours

00:03:41until tools down

00:03:42on Front Yard and Facade Week.

00:03:44It's dawning on our teams

00:03:46that it's the countdown of last.

00:03:49Last pre-start meeting.

00:03:51Last room reveal.

00:03:54Last tools down.

00:03:55And last judging.

00:03:57One more day to make

00:04:00or break a block dream.

00:04:06Sonny.

00:04:07What's happening?

00:04:0724 hours to go on the block.

00:04:09Do you believe it?

00:04:10Not really.

00:04:12No.

00:04:12It's pretty, uh...

00:04:13It's pretty surreal

00:04:15when you first rock up here.

00:04:16And it's pretty surreal

00:04:17when you know you don't own it.

00:04:18This is the last chance.

00:04:21We'd hate to walk out of here

00:04:22without a win.

00:04:23And if that happens,

00:04:24well, we'll have to deal with that.

00:04:26You know, that's part of the game.

00:04:29Morning, everyone.

00:04:31Morning, Dreamer.

00:04:32Day 86.

00:04:34This is our last pre-start.

00:04:37No more...

00:04:38Well, we will wake up early tomorrow.

00:04:40But no more listening to G-Mac

00:04:42at 7am.

00:04:44It's definitely challenging.

00:04:45Doing this show...

00:04:45It's really hard.

00:04:46...is one of the hardest things

00:04:47that we've done in our lives.

00:04:49Last full day.

00:04:5024 hours of filming.

00:04:53We're pretty much calling this

00:04:54the last day on the block.

00:04:56Yeah.

00:04:57I think it's fair to say that.

00:04:58Last day on the block.

00:05:00And we're feeling okay today.

00:05:02I think it's probably

00:05:02the things that fit better suite,

00:05:04isn't it?

00:05:04Like, you're sad to be leaving

00:05:05but you're so happy

00:05:06because you're exhausted.

00:05:07You miss home.

00:05:08You want to go home.

00:05:09But, you know,

00:05:09it's sad to be saying goodbye

00:05:10to this journey.

00:05:12For me,

00:05:13it's been lovely to have met you guys

00:05:14and worked with you

00:05:15and all the rest.

00:05:16Yeah, there's a lot

00:05:18going through our heads

00:05:19right now.

00:05:20We've still got our eyes

00:05:21on the prize.

00:05:21We've still got a lot of work

00:05:22to do but also

00:05:23it's the last Saturday ever.

00:05:25I think the emotions

00:05:26will hit us tomorrow

00:05:27once it's all over

00:05:29because we know

00:05:30how much we've got to do today

00:05:31and today's just another day

00:05:32on the block.

00:05:32It's a 17-hour work day today

00:05:34and, well,

00:05:37just a reminder

00:05:38that come Monday

00:05:39you're all dead to me.

00:05:41We love you too.

00:05:45I'm feeling very sad, actually.

00:05:48I don't want to leave.

00:05:51Don't want to think about it.

00:05:53Yeah.

00:05:55I'm going to miss it.

00:05:56I've enjoyed it

00:05:57the hardest thing I've ever done

00:05:58in my life

00:05:59but, yeah.

00:06:01Oh.

00:06:03Today is going to be

00:06:04the biggest day ever

00:06:05for us on the block.

00:06:06We are going to be working

00:06:07down to the line.

00:06:09Hannah and I know

00:06:09what position we're in.

00:06:11We've seen the other houses.

00:06:12And a can

00:06:14are way behind

00:06:15on their Japanese-inspired garden

00:06:17that will feature

00:06:18a massive torii gate,

00:06:20great pebbles,

00:06:21tropical plants

00:06:22and palm trees

00:06:23plus a relaxed outdoor setting

00:06:25at the side of the house.

00:06:28But right now

00:06:29that feels a long way away.

00:06:32Yeah,

00:06:32we'd better get some water flowing

00:06:34and get our floaties on

00:06:35because, um,

00:06:37we're about to drown.

00:06:38House two might be in

00:06:39over their heads

00:06:40but it's what's over everyone

00:06:42heads.

00:06:42That's getting all the attention.

00:06:44What the

00:06:44is going on here?

00:06:50Oh, my God.

00:06:51Oh, my God.

00:06:54That's

00:06:54not very subtle.

00:06:56That's mental.

00:06:57Um,

00:06:58I'm glad it's not in my house

00:07:00but...

00:07:01Yeah,

00:07:02I feel like someone

00:07:03in their team needs to just

00:07:04take the reins of the legs.

00:07:05Slow it down.

00:07:06Yeah, like,

00:07:06just woo up.

00:07:07I've worked it out.

00:07:08It's the entrance

00:07:09to Jurassic Park.

00:07:12Where's the concrete path go?

00:07:17To get there,

00:07:18you've got to walk

00:07:194K that way

00:07:20to a new turn

00:07:21jump back.

00:07:22You know what?

00:07:31It's the last day

00:07:32on the block.

00:07:32It's sunny.

00:07:33I'm feeling good.

00:07:34I reckon everyone here

00:07:34could do with some food.

00:07:36So I'm just going to order

00:07:3710 McMuffins,

00:07:3910 hash browns.

00:07:41And it's going to get

00:07:42delivered right to the front door.

00:07:43Even better.

00:07:44What are you doing?

00:07:45What?

00:07:46I can smell you.

00:07:48Yeah?

00:07:48What?

00:07:50Mmm.

00:07:51Oh, that smells like

00:07:52breakfast.

00:07:54Do you want some?

00:07:55I'm never going to.

00:07:56You're doing a little

00:07:57McDelivery.

00:07:57Oh, McLove you.

00:07:59Yeah, I'll come up.

00:07:59I'll come out to your house.

00:08:00In house 4,

00:08:01Sonny and Alicia

00:08:02seem to be very chill

00:08:03despite what's

00:08:04on the line this week.

00:08:06These last 24 hours

00:08:07are the most important.

00:08:09I think out of everything

00:08:10we've done winning the caravan

00:08:11and now this,

00:08:12these are probably

00:08:12the two most important

00:08:14scores that you can get

00:08:15for the block.

00:08:17Sonny and Alicia

00:08:17are the only couple

00:08:18that have not won a room

00:08:20this season.

00:08:21Our sole focus

00:08:22is winning this week.

00:08:24We cannot go home

00:08:25not winning

00:08:25a room.

00:08:28And they're throwing

00:08:29everything at it

00:08:30including three

00:08:31secret weapons.

00:08:32A second driveway,

00:08:34three mature trees

00:08:35and a massive

00:08:36custom kangaroo

00:08:37sculpture

00:08:38that looks like

00:08:39this.

00:08:43Hang on.

00:08:44How about something

00:08:45with a bit more

00:08:46gravitas?

00:08:47Much better.

00:08:50Wow.

00:08:51He's huge.

00:08:53That's so good.

00:08:55I think he's

00:08:552.3 metres

00:08:56and

00:08:57how sick that.

00:08:58Yeah.

00:09:00He's a beast.

00:09:02That's it.

00:09:03That's so cool.

00:09:05What a weapon.

00:09:07So good, mate.

00:09:08All yours.

00:09:09We've named him MG.

00:09:13Why'd we call him MG?

00:09:15Because MG's on offer

00:09:16this week,

00:09:17so MG the kangaroo,

00:09:19here we come.

00:09:20Not only does this

00:09:24but they also win

00:09:25an MG for the house

00:09:26and an MG to take home.

00:09:28And having already won

00:09:30a $260,000 caravan

00:09:32to include with their

00:09:33house sale,

00:09:34they might like to

00:09:35take something home

00:09:36with them.

00:09:37I'd love to be able

00:09:38to ring my mum

00:09:39and tell her that

00:09:39she's got a new car

00:09:40coming her way.

00:09:42Aren't Sonny and Alicia

00:09:43aren't done yet?

00:09:44I've got three

00:09:45big trees coming.

00:09:47I was getting two,

00:09:48but he decided

00:09:49to do me a deal

00:09:49on three.

00:09:51It was way back

00:09:51in week nine

00:09:52that Sonny and Alicia

00:09:53won the trading games.

00:09:55So Sonny,

00:09:56stand,

00:09:58Leash,

00:09:59arise.

00:09:59With a $10,000

00:10:01of mature trees.

00:10:02And I do mean

00:10:03mature.

00:10:04Oh, that's a big tree.

00:10:06My Chinese elms

00:10:08come up the driveway.

00:10:11They're pretty impressive.

00:10:12Holy

00:10:13dually.

00:10:14A little bit.

00:10:15Yep.

00:10:17And then close to the

00:10:18bottom.

00:10:20Everything and more

00:10:21than I hoped.

00:10:22Looks so good.

00:10:23He looks like

00:10:24that he should have

00:10:25been on our grass

00:10:26the entire time.

00:10:27And those trees,

00:10:28when you stand down

00:10:29at house five

00:10:30and look back,

00:10:31you don't see past

00:10:31our trees.

00:10:32It just looks amazing.

00:10:34Hopefully it stops you

00:10:35from seeing the arbor.

00:10:39In house one,

00:10:45Emma and Ben

00:10:45are creating

00:10:46a clean front facade

00:10:47with timber landing steps

00:10:49framed by

00:10:50two mature

00:10:51bottle trees,

00:10:52a fern garden

00:10:53and rolling grass hills.

00:10:56At least

00:10:57that's the plan.

00:10:58Um,

00:10:59looking around,

00:10:59still got a lot to do.

00:11:01Yeah, we do.

00:11:02We've got our

00:11:02tippies coming in.

00:11:03You've got finished

00:11:04up all the decking,

00:11:05the side of the decking?

00:11:06Yep.

00:11:07Feeling a little stressed.

00:11:0924 hours to go

00:11:10and there's still

00:11:10a lot of decking to do.

00:11:12Got to paint

00:11:12the side of the

00:11:13baseboards there?

00:11:15No, they're steps.

00:11:17They're building

00:11:18steps as well?

00:11:19Yeah.

00:11:20Yeah.

00:11:21Wow.

00:11:21Steps coming

00:11:22down either side.

00:11:23Wow.

00:11:25Yeah.

00:11:25Don't reckon

00:11:26they'll smash it

00:11:26though.

00:11:27Wowee.

00:11:28Okay.

00:11:30I can see us

00:11:30using power tools

00:11:31all night tonight.

00:11:32Yeah.

00:11:33We'll be going

00:11:34all day.

00:11:34And night.

00:11:35Yeah.

00:11:38Yeah, we're busy.

00:11:39We're racing.

00:11:40It's a race to the end.

00:11:41In the final

00:11:4224 hours,

00:11:44the last room

00:11:45is shaping up

00:11:46as the tale

00:11:49of two finishers.

00:11:51Those in a frenzy

00:11:52and those

00:11:54that are not.

00:11:55I feel like we had

00:11:56to go in the pool first.

00:11:57No chance.

00:11:57Not a chance.

00:11:58No chance.

00:11:59It only took us 12 weeks

00:12:00but we weren't

00:12:02panic attacking

00:12:03on a Saturday.

00:12:04We thought

00:12:05we better have

00:12:06an important

00:12:06business meeting.

00:12:07Oh,

00:12:08doctor.

00:12:11Oh,

00:12:12that is so good.

00:12:12This week,

00:12:13House Rees,

00:12:14Britt and Taz

00:12:14are leaning

00:12:15into Aussie.

00:12:18Into Aussie.

00:12:21That's better.

00:12:23They're going

00:12:24with native plants

00:12:25and dry riverbed

00:12:26and a secret

00:12:27garage door decal

00:12:28that will hopefully

00:12:30tie it all together.

00:12:31And around the side

00:12:32of the house,

00:12:33an outdoor cinema.

00:12:35Anyway,

00:12:35back to that

00:12:36important business meeting.

00:12:38We do need

00:12:38to get a mailbox.

00:12:39We do need to get

00:12:40a mailbox.

00:12:40I've got a buddings.

00:12:42Meanwhile,

00:12:43Bagget House 2,

00:12:44the meandering

00:12:45concrete path

00:12:46and had the

00:12:46Curseos confused

00:12:47is now frustrating

00:12:49Foreman Dan.

00:12:50Just doesn't look right.

00:12:51Why?

00:12:53What's happened?

00:12:54He's destroyed

00:12:55this walkway.

00:12:56We're going to need

00:12:57a bit more detail

00:12:57than that.

00:12:59The hardener

00:12:59he put on it

00:13:00is a 24-hour one.

00:13:02He's washed it

00:13:02off too early.

00:13:03OK,

00:13:03that's better.

00:13:04And what does that mean?

00:13:05It looks horrible.

00:13:06That's what it means.

00:13:10So this morning,

00:13:11Dan's come in

00:13:11and realised

00:13:12that the concrete

00:13:13that was poured

00:13:14yesterday

00:13:14has been washed

00:13:15off too early

00:13:16and it hasn't

00:13:16exposed the aggregate.

00:13:17Look,

00:13:18it's just not

00:13:18no consistency

00:13:19anywhere.

00:13:21Oh dear.

00:13:23Structurally,

00:13:24it's fine.

00:13:25It's just aesthetic.

00:13:26It's not going to

00:13:27match that driveway

00:13:28and should.

00:13:31Nothing you can do now.

00:13:33This is what it is.

00:13:36The judges

00:13:36will probably notice it

00:13:37but more importantly

00:13:38the buyers.

00:13:39That's what I'm worried about.

00:13:41I'm really,

00:13:42really worried now

00:13:43for these girls.

00:13:44This front yard week

00:13:45can assist

00:13:46speedy continuation

00:13:48of last week.

00:13:50I just can't.

00:13:56Even they're laughing.

00:13:59Strangely,

00:14:00I like it.

00:14:02I shouldn't

00:14:03but I like it.

00:14:05Everyone smiles

00:14:05when they walk through it.

00:14:09I can't knock it down

00:14:10with this.

00:14:10Want me to bring

00:14:15the bigger machinery?

00:14:24I was running

00:14:25when they were

00:14:25going to spend

00:14:25their money.

00:14:26They've rattled

00:14:27the whole block

00:14:28because right now

00:14:29I can't see them

00:14:30losing.

00:14:30With just seven hours

00:14:40until lockout

00:14:41you would expect

00:14:42chaos

00:14:43but there's a surprising

00:14:44sense of calm

00:14:45across the block.

00:14:47Nice bit of conch

00:14:48for

00:14:49ever hopefully.

00:14:54This looks lovely.

00:14:56We've got a lot

00:14:58to offer this week.

00:14:59We're really proud

00:15:00of what we've done.

00:15:02Robbie and Matt

00:15:02are keeping their

00:15:03front facade classic

00:15:04and welcoming

00:15:05with clean garden beds,

00:15:06a statement path

00:15:07and a water feature

00:15:09with goldfish

00:15:09for good luck.

00:15:11We're finishing strong.

00:15:13Would we love

00:15:14to take out the win?

00:15:15Absolutely.

00:15:17There's just one

00:15:18reveal left

00:15:19and on the block

00:15:19winning rooms

00:15:20is everything.

00:15:21And that's been

00:15:22Robbie and Matt's

00:15:22speciality.

00:15:24Buy a bonus pint.

00:15:26It's Matt Robbie.

00:15:27The boys have racked

00:15:28up four room wins

00:15:29this season

00:15:30but neck and neck

00:15:31with them

00:15:31is Brett and Taz.

00:15:33Yep,

00:15:34Brett and Taz

00:15:35also have four wins.

00:15:37An equal third

00:15:37is Han and Can

00:15:39who had wins

00:15:41in week three

00:15:41and six

00:15:42along with

00:15:43Cam and Ben

00:15:44who took out

00:15:47week eight

00:15:47and week eleven.

00:15:49As for Sonny

00:15:50and Alicia

00:15:50Sonny and Alicia

00:15:54it's been a

00:15:55winless grind

00:15:56for twelve

00:15:56long weeks.

00:15:58So don't take

00:15:59out this final

00:15:59week.

00:16:00They will be

00:16:01the only team

00:16:02in block history

00:16:02not to have

00:16:03won a room.

00:16:05Have a nice

00:16:06big tree,

00:16:07beautiful.

00:16:11I was running

00:16:11when they were

00:16:11going to spend

00:16:12their money.

00:16:13House four

00:16:14all of a sudden

00:16:15got these monster

00:16:16trees and there's

00:16:17a damn kangaroo.

00:16:18No one knew

00:16:22that we were

00:16:23going to put

00:16:23these trees in.

00:16:25No one knew

00:16:25MG the kangaroo

00:16:26was coming and

00:16:27no one was

00:16:27aware that I'd

00:16:28commandeered the

00:16:29MG.

00:16:30The ute that's

00:16:31up for grabs.

00:16:31Yep.

00:16:32Wow, what a

00:16:32weapon.

00:16:33Bit going on.

00:16:35Sounds great too.

00:16:38Already

00:16:38claiming it.

00:16:39Smart.

00:16:41Sonny and Alicia

00:16:42they've rattled

00:16:43the whole block

00:16:44because right now

00:16:45I can't see them

00:16:46losing.

00:16:46four big

00:16:48features that

00:16:48just came in.

00:16:49They've got the

00:16:50secondary driveway

00:16:51that no one

00:16:52else has got

00:16:52and they've got

00:16:53the titanium

00:16:55caravan.

00:16:56Wow.

00:16:57Thank you so

00:16:58much.

00:17:05You've got to be

00:17:05going hard this

00:17:06week to win this

00:17:06because like that

00:17:09can be the

00:17:10difference between

00:17:10winning the block.

00:17:12Sonny and Alicia

00:17:13are playing a

00:17:13different game than

00:17:14everyone else this

00:17:15week.

00:17:16Including a

00:17:16calculated move

00:17:17that's more like

00:17:184D chess.

00:17:24Let's go, let's go,

00:17:25let's go, let's go,

00:17:26let's go.

00:17:26I organised for

00:17:27everybody to be

00:17:28down at Dalesford to

00:17:30watch the local

00:17:30footy match because

00:17:31this week plumber

00:17:33Chris is playing

00:17:34Dalesford so I

00:17:36thought maybe we

00:17:37should all go and

00:17:37support him.

00:17:38Shut up, Chris!

00:17:40He just spat.

00:17:42But I can't go.

00:17:43Because while

00:17:47everybody else was

00:17:48out going to

00:17:48football, we've

00:17:49had our eye on

00:17:49the prize.

00:17:52While Sonny and

00:17:53Alicia are eyeing

00:17:54the prize,

00:17:54Hannah and

00:17:55Can can barely

00:17:56look up from the

00:17:57mountain of

00:17:57problems in front

00:17:58of them.

00:17:59First problem,

00:18:02the gate.

00:18:04No, not that

00:18:05gate.

00:18:06That's the one.

00:18:08We were calling

00:18:09it the bus stop.

00:18:13It's not a bus stop.

00:18:15Carla looks like

00:18:15excuse me, it's

00:18:16Christian Jenkins

00:18:17creation, you can't

00:18:18talk about it like

00:18:19that.

00:18:19I really like it.

00:18:21I think it just

00:18:21creates the entrance

00:18:22to getting in.

00:18:23It went up yesterday

00:18:24but.

00:18:25Takes your eye off

00:18:26the Tory gate which

00:18:27is a massive hero for

00:18:28the house.

00:18:31And then it's sort of

00:18:32like blending two

00:18:32different cultures in

00:18:34a way.

00:18:36Blends two cultures?

00:18:37Well, that's what

00:18:38they were saying.

00:18:38Anyway, I believe it

00:18:40throws off the

00:18:40symmetry of the

00:18:41house.

00:18:42What cultures is

00:18:44a blending?

00:18:45It was just other

00:18:46comments other people

00:18:47made.

00:18:47I don't know.

00:18:49That's weird.

00:18:50Well, I don't know

00:18:51anything about blending

00:18:52cultures but if you

00:18:53ask me, it's manure.

00:18:56Someone's delivered a

00:18:57steaming pile of

00:18:58manure.

00:18:59So, the hut was

00:19:01taken down.

00:19:07And it wasn't me who

00:19:08named it the bus stop

00:19:09by the way.

00:19:10It was for when

00:19:10done.

00:19:12OK, next problem.

00:19:16Because Hanning

00:19:16Camp's retaining wall

00:19:17is above 900

00:19:19millimetres, it means

00:19:20they are required to

00:19:21replace this safety

00:19:22fence with a permanent

00:19:23balustrade.

00:19:25So, yeah, solution is

00:19:26nine and six have said

00:19:27because it's so late in

00:19:28the piece that they

00:19:29will take care of the

00:19:32guardrail.

00:19:35Clear gap, 47.

00:19:39How's the unions?

00:19:42All they had on site

00:19:43was the black

00:19:44fencing, which is

00:19:45hideous.

00:19:46Feels like prison.

00:19:48So, yeah, I guess we're

00:19:50just trying to figure out

00:19:51a way to make it look

00:19:52less hideous.

00:19:53And they have settled

00:19:54on covering it with

00:19:55plants.

00:19:56What do you think?

00:19:57I think it's a good

00:19:57idea.

00:19:58Just to cover as much

00:19:59of it as possible from

00:20:00the...

00:20:01Yeah.

00:20:02It's one thing

00:20:02off for another.

00:20:10They poured their

00:20:12walkway yesterday

00:20:13and then they

00:20:14gooned it off

00:20:15within about

00:20:16two or three hours.

00:20:17And that doesn't

00:20:18allow the hardener

00:20:19to set in and keep

00:20:20all the stones in

00:20:21position.

00:20:22So Dan's called in

00:20:22the concreters from

00:20:23House 5 who've come

00:20:25up with a solution.

00:20:26Acid.

00:20:28Dehydrochloric acid

00:20:28washing.

00:20:29Yeah.

00:20:29Those 6,000 PSI

00:20:31pressure washing.

00:20:32So a real hard one.

00:20:32Do you reckon we can

00:20:33get it to what that

00:20:34will look like over

00:20:35there?

00:20:35We can get it

00:20:35relatively close,

00:20:36yeah.

00:20:38Wow.

00:20:39What a difference.

00:20:40Yeah.

00:20:41Holly.

00:20:42Can you see from

00:20:43there to there?

00:20:43We can fix it.

00:20:45Can you see it?

00:20:46That looks normal now.

00:20:48Well, I think that's the

00:20:49last of Han and

00:20:50Cairns' problems.

00:20:52Oh, yeah.

00:20:53They don't have a

00:20:54front gate.

00:20:54Apparently our gate's not

00:20:58going to come.

00:21:00Why?

00:21:00Because he hasn't

00:21:01made it.

00:21:06Han, I missed the

00:21:08footy too.

00:21:09Hey?

00:21:10I missed out on the

00:21:11footy too.

00:21:13Yeah.

00:21:14We've got no gate.

00:21:17Why?

00:21:18Not ready till Monday

00:21:19apparently.

00:21:23Yeah, Arbor's cool.

00:21:25It'll take the focus

00:21:26off no gate.

00:21:27Don't worry about it.

00:21:28It's a beautiful

00:21:30gate.

00:21:32And it's not just

00:21:33Han and Cairns who

00:21:34are struggling with

00:21:34their gate.

00:21:36Emmer and Bairn have

00:21:37their own issues.

00:21:40Painting the gates.

00:21:43We thought they were

00:21:44coming black.

00:21:46But they're not.

00:21:47So?

00:21:50We're just going to

00:21:50paint them.

00:21:51Boring!

00:21:54Despite having a

00:21:55mountain of work,

00:21:56Emmer and Bairn have

00:21:57managed to get through

00:21:57most of it.

00:21:59We're in a pretty good

00:22:00spot.

00:22:01The deck is finished.

00:22:03We've gurneyed the

00:22:04driveway.

00:22:05The lighting is in and

00:22:06it's working.

00:22:07We've got a little few

00:22:08touch-up bits to do

00:22:09tomorrow morning for

00:22:10the two hours.

00:22:11But we're so happy with

00:22:12how this space has come

00:22:13together.

00:22:15Okay, last night on the

00:22:16block.

00:22:17What day is it?

00:22:18Day 80.

00:22:194, 5 or 6.

00:22:21Yeah.

00:22:22And we are almost

00:22:23finished the front yard.

00:22:24A little bit more

00:22:25painting to do.

00:22:26And yeah, it looks

00:22:29amazing.

00:22:29Feeling great.

00:22:30More wrecks!

00:22:31Fresh from staring into

00:22:40the sun, Master of Mulch

00:22:42is back to see whose

00:22:44facades are blooming and

00:22:46whose are well and truly

00:22:47rooted.

00:22:47final day, two hours until

00:23:00tools down.

00:23:02Our 1,000th episode and

00:23:05against all odds, it's less a

00:23:06race to the finish and more a

00:23:08meander to the end.

00:23:09Good morning.

00:23:13Took us 12 weeks for we

00:23:14finally finished on a

00:23:16Saturday night instead of a

00:23:17Sunday morning at 9 o'clock

00:23:18in the morning.

00:23:19Well, they drove to work

00:23:20Lazy Bar.

00:23:21We have, like, a little bit

00:23:23of work to do, but enough

00:23:24that we have time this

00:23:25morning to not have to worry

00:23:26too much about it.

00:23:27I think our neighbours are

00:23:30having to do it.

00:23:33What's left?

00:23:34Oh.

00:23:37Selena.

00:23:39A few plants.

00:23:42Um.

00:23:43Yeah.

00:23:44Trying to stay upright.

00:23:46Oh.

00:23:47We built a house.

00:23:49Oh.

00:23:51Would we love to take out

00:23:53the win?

00:23:54Absolutely.

00:23:55Have we given it

00:23:56everything?

00:23:57Yes.

00:23:58And have they been

00:23:58responsible for the first

00:24:00death on the block?

00:24:02Possibly.

00:24:02I think they're dead.

00:24:04Matt.

00:24:05Well, I think the fish

00:24:06are dead.

00:24:09It was zero to great

00:24:10last night.

00:24:12Unless they're asleep.

00:24:14Maybe there's a pug one.

00:24:16Oh, no, she's dead.

00:24:19Oh, God.

00:24:20Oh, God.

00:24:25Oh, my God.

00:24:26I'm sorry, Josephine.

00:24:28I'm sorry, Janet.

00:24:33And it's not just a fish-tality.

00:24:37Emma and Ben have arrived

00:24:38to find the freezing

00:24:39temperatures have caused

00:24:40the paint to run off

00:24:41their gates.

00:24:44Pull them off.

00:24:45Okay.

00:24:46Sure.

00:24:46Yes, please.

00:24:47They've had to take the

00:24:48gates off, which is a shame.

00:24:49Yeah.

00:24:50Because the paint just,

00:24:51it was too cold.

00:24:54Thanks, guys.

00:24:55Appreciate it.

00:24:59Over in House 3,

00:25:00Britt and Taz

00:25:01finally get to reveal

00:25:02the best-kept secret

00:25:04on the block.

00:25:05Believe it or not,

00:25:06this isn't the actual

00:25:07decal for their

00:25:084D garage door.

00:25:09We're about to reveal

00:25:12the actual garage door.

00:25:14Yeah.

00:25:15Much to everyone's

00:25:16surprise, I think.

00:25:17Because everyone else

00:25:18on the block

00:25:18believes it is.

00:25:20Wow.

00:25:27Wow.

00:25:28It's different.

00:25:28You can't really...

00:25:29That's what we call

00:25:30a hit-the-miss.

00:25:34Yeah.

00:25:35We are not putting

00:25:35our faces on our store.

00:25:38All right.

00:25:39So just grab one

00:25:40of the edges.

00:25:41All right.

00:25:42Like this.

00:25:42And start peeling.

00:25:43Are we sure

00:25:44you want to do this?

00:25:45We're sure.

00:25:46Let's quickly.

00:25:46All right.

00:25:46Let's get it done.

00:25:48Go to the top one there,

00:25:49Troy, yeah.

00:25:49We're unveiling a beautiful

00:25:51artwork by Troy Firebrace

00:25:52to Jar Jar People

00:25:53and we just were so proud

00:25:54to be able to do that.

00:25:55It'll come off

00:25:56in a bigger piece.

00:25:57Hopefully.

00:25:58Good gag.

00:25:59Really good, yeah.

00:26:05I was just worried

00:26:06for everyone on the street

00:26:07to be honest.

00:26:09The gag

00:26:10well and truly paid off.

00:26:12Did I have you know

00:26:12it's all right?

00:26:13Yeah.

00:26:13I didn't know.

00:26:14You didn't know

00:26:14it was people?

00:26:15I didn't know.

00:26:16I thought...

00:26:17To rip it off,

00:26:19it was amazing.

00:26:21Wow.

00:26:23That was our...

00:26:24That's our face.

00:26:28Oh, my God.

00:26:29Wow.

00:26:30So to bring a person

00:26:32like Troy in

00:26:33to help tell our story

00:26:35but to be from this area,

00:26:37to be from this country

00:26:38is so important to us.

00:26:40You know,

00:26:40without sounding too full of it

00:26:42but like,

00:26:43there's going to be

00:26:44a lot of young fellows

00:26:44watching at home

00:26:45seeing me do this

00:26:46and me at work

00:26:48doing what I do

00:26:49and, you know,

00:26:50someone like Troy

00:26:50and him at work

00:26:51doing what he does

00:26:52and, you know,

00:26:53I really look up to that

00:26:54and that's...

00:26:55It's the example

00:26:55I want to set for my kids

00:26:56and the example

00:26:57I want to set for my community.

00:26:58My community isn't just

00:27:00back home,

00:27:01it's all around.

00:27:02I want to regret.

00:27:09Yeah.

00:27:13Say it's real now.

00:27:13I love it.

00:27:31This is it, week 12.

00:27:32Come here.

00:27:38Toes down!

00:27:39Yeah, Beatty.

00:27:42Toes down, Tiff.

00:27:54Game over.

00:27:57I'm sorry.

00:28:01Tell them all.

00:28:03You're not as silly.

00:28:05Oh, gross.

00:28:09I don't even know

00:28:10what we're feeling.

00:28:10We've built a house

00:28:11in 12 weeks.

00:28:12We have no idea

00:28:13what we're doing still.

00:28:14My sister's building a house

00:28:15and it's been going

00:28:15for two years.

00:28:18Love ya.

00:28:21Well done.

00:28:23I don't want it to end.

00:28:24We don't want it to end.

00:28:26Yay!

00:28:28Oh, I'm getting emotional.

00:28:35It's pretty cool, isn't it?

00:28:36It's amazing.

00:28:37Just a couple of guys.

00:28:39Just a couple of guys.

00:28:40Just a couple of guys

00:28:41building a house.

00:28:44Yeah, I think it's really

00:28:45it's going to heat

00:28:46like a ton of bricks.

00:28:48Oh, good.

00:28:48You're getting me.

00:28:48Stop it.

00:29:01Well done, Amy.

00:29:01Well done, Sammy.

00:29:02Well done.

00:29:02Well done, Sammy.

00:29:03Oh.

00:29:07If you tried just a little more times,

00:29:27I would have made you a believer.

00:29:29I would have showed you what I said.

00:29:33Oh, hi.

00:29:34Oh, hi.

00:29:35Oh, hi.

00:29:36Oh, hi.

00:29:37Oh, hi.

00:29:38Oh, hi.

00:29:38Shelly.

00:29:39Hello.

00:29:39Hello, Shelly.

00:29:40Hello.

00:29:40Hello, Shelly.

00:29:41Oh, hi.

00:29:42Oh, my gosh.

00:29:43You're all so clean and beautiful.

00:29:46She's as excited as I am tonight.

00:29:47She's always excited.

00:29:48Every Sunday show, she gets very excited.

00:29:50Oh, don't blame her.

00:29:51Here you go.

00:29:51Okay.

00:29:52Hit your mark, stay there.

00:29:54It's so much fun.

00:29:55Now, before we kick off, as you can see, we have the lovely Shelly Craft in the studio.

00:29:58It's the first time she's been in the studio on a Sunday night in all the years that she's

00:30:02worked here.

00:30:03And on behalf of everybody, the crew, the contestants, everybody, I say this one thing.

00:30:07Don't f*** it up, Shelly.

00:30:10Good evening, everybody.

00:30:11Good evening.

00:30:13You've done it.

00:30:14You've finished the vlog.

00:30:15Three months of full-time renovating, and what a way to finish your houses are magnificent.

00:30:26You people are bloody magnificent.

00:30:31Now, there is a very good reason that I have invited my very good friend, Shelly Craft, into

00:30:37the studio tonight.

00:30:40Because, if you'll indulge me, I have a bit of an announcement to make.

00:30:45Tonight is a very special occasion.

00:30:49Tonight marks our 1,000th episode of the vlog.

00:30:55No way.

00:30:56What?

00:30:57What?

00:30:58I know.

00:30:59It's an incredible achievement.

00:31:00And I'd like to say, on behalf of myself, Shelly, and our entire production crew, I'd like

00:31:06to give a heartfelt thank you to you, the folks at home that watch the program.

00:31:11So, we truly understand that we wouldn't be here without you.

00:31:16We're humbled.

00:31:17We're grateful.

00:31:18And we truly say thank you for your ongoing commitment to the show.

00:31:22I guess you like watching these knuckleheads, do you?

00:31:25I think you might have something to do with the success of the show, too, Scotty.

00:31:28Yes, and our crew.

00:31:31All right.

00:31:36Let's get back to the show.

00:31:38Where was I?

00:31:39Oh, that's right.

00:31:40The final judging of the block tales for week 12, where someone is going to win not one,

00:31:47but two MGs and also take $50,000 off their reserve.

00:31:52Thanks to Bunnings, we're going out with the bandshell.

00:31:56It's a big deal, my friend.

00:31:57Hey, listen, would you like to hang around and do the feedback with me?

00:32:00That'd be a first.

00:32:01Thought you'd never ask.

00:32:02You think I'd just put this on for fun?

00:32:05Okay, House 1, M and Ben, here we go.

00:32:11If this week was a musical theatre show, what would it be?

00:32:16Grease lightning.

00:32:17That's a great one.

00:32:18And the end scene, and then you fly off in the car.

00:32:22Hey, we've got to win the car now.

00:32:24And we fly off in the car.

00:32:29Of all the weeks, this is probably going to be the most level playing field,

00:32:32because everyone's got the same front yard.

00:32:35If anything, we've got maybe the slightest of the advantages,

00:32:37because it's slightly bigger than everyone else.

00:32:39We've got that big curve.

00:32:43Phil's cracking on with the driveway, so he's spraying that off today.

00:32:47And the two bottle trees, they anchor the house.

00:32:51Colin is mounting the bird to make them frame the centre entrance.

00:32:55Yay!

00:32:58Thursday, three weeks to go.

00:33:00No.

00:33:01Thursday, three days to go.

00:33:03Al is building the deck for our front door area.

00:33:07Yeah, we've probably got three decks to build,

00:33:09so we've still got our work cut out for it.

00:33:11So I just felt under control, so I popped into Cedar and Sage.

00:33:21And I'm going to go buy a gift for our beautiful Met Cafe girls.

00:33:24Oh, yeah, that's so nice.

00:33:27Excellent.

00:33:28Thank you so much.

00:33:29We have some little gifts to say thank you

00:33:32for being amazing this whole season.

00:33:34We love you all, and thank you so much.

00:33:36To our favourite barista.

00:33:37Yay!

00:33:41Colin, our landscaper, is making up signs

00:33:43that will say the Hillsdale Street.

00:33:45It's the name of our house.

00:33:47Yeah, we'll put it on the front fence and the house entry.

00:33:49Perfect.

00:33:51That looks so good.

00:33:52We think our front yard is...

00:33:55I'm going to say perfect, that's...

00:33:56It's perfect.

00:33:57That's too obvious, but it is.

00:33:59It's perfect.

00:34:00It's perfect.

00:34:02It's perfect.

00:34:03It's perfect.

00:34:04It's perfect.

00:34:05It's perfect.

00:34:06Let's have a look.

00:34:12The judges came through your house from your winning backyard,

00:34:16and when they opened the front door,

00:34:18Darren was already smiling.

00:34:20Look at the decking.

00:34:23I was too busy with the battening.

00:34:25Oh, it's stunning.

00:34:26I just love this experience of coming out

00:34:28and seeing that driveway roll up and bend

00:34:31and with the trees in the background.

00:34:33It's so grand.

00:34:34Dave Franklin is back this week,

00:34:37and on first impressions,

00:34:39he loved your front car.

00:34:40This is also finished, I've got to say.

00:34:43It really is.

00:34:44Just letting you know,

00:34:45there was a lot in Philippine last year that wasn't finished.

00:34:49Dave said the planting is all about matching the colours

00:34:52to the cedars behind.

00:34:53If you have a look around,

00:34:54you can see all the blues,

00:34:55the silver blues that we're getting in the natives here,

00:34:58and then you look back up on the back there,

00:35:00and that's where it's all matching in.

00:35:01So that with the two bottle trees that frames the house,

00:35:04you've got a garden here that's quite thought out.

00:35:07Well, quite thought out.

00:35:08This is actually planted perfectly.

00:35:11I mean, it's pretty hard to beat.

00:35:13So did you do most of the planting, Ben,

00:35:15with your jacket on,

00:35:16with the go-go gadget,

00:35:17and all the stuff coming out?

00:35:18He did.

00:35:19It was going everywhere.

00:35:20It was going everywhere.

00:35:21It was going everywhere.

00:35:22It was pockets galore.

00:35:22How big will they get, Dave,

00:35:26these natives along that?

00:35:27They will get as tall as what the cedars are behind here.

00:35:30Wow.

00:35:30They'll get quite big as well.

00:35:32Yeah.

00:35:32And that's going to give that privacy

00:35:33because this is the corner allotment.

00:35:36So you've obviously got the pub just across the road,

00:35:38which is such a selling feature for buyers.

00:35:40But just a little bit of privacy will be amazing.

00:35:43Shona had some high praise for your landscaper, Colin Hyatt.

00:35:47Yeah.

00:35:47You see the value of a landscape designer.

00:35:51You've got this little grassy knoll

00:35:53that comes up with a sculpture

00:35:54and lighting up against it.

00:35:56The way the boulders are

00:35:57and the way they've worked with the mounds

00:35:59and how they've made everything just work.

00:36:03Everything's planted to perfection.

00:36:07Marty thinks the new owners of this house

00:36:08will feel very house-proud driving in.

00:36:12That's what buyers love.

00:36:13They roll into the house.

00:36:15It's a massive, massive part of this marketing campaign

00:36:17for all the contestants,

00:36:18getting that front facade popping on the Domain app

00:36:22is what draws that further inquiry in.

00:36:24I love that the garage door really blends in with it.

00:36:28And I'm sure we're going to see feature garage doors,

00:36:30but because the facade of this

00:36:32and the black alpine feel is so strong,

00:36:36I love the fact they've picked a very simplistic garage door

00:36:39because everything is about the planting of the greenery

00:36:42against that black.

00:36:44Darren thinks that it's all great,

00:36:45but not perfect.

00:36:47If you're willing to secure your home,

00:36:50don't you want to be able to close your gate?

00:36:53What happened to those gates?

00:36:54I saw that.

00:36:55We did.

00:36:56We got them delivered late

00:36:57and then we painted them last night

00:36:59and they just dripped all down.

00:37:02The frost, it was too cold.

00:37:03It was too cold.

00:37:04Too cold.

00:37:04Oh, they've left off two gates,

00:37:06so it can't be a ten.

00:37:08We get that.

00:37:09Yeah.

00:37:09So I'll tell you what,

00:37:09they've given it a solid nudge.

00:37:12I love it.

00:37:15Landscaping is always important,

00:37:17but in Dalesford it's particularly important.

00:37:19These are garden homes,

00:37:21a very important part of the Dalesford landscape.

00:37:24and I would wager

00:37:26whoever wins the landscaping

00:37:28may well win this show.

00:37:31That's it, Emma Ben.

00:37:32What a great three months you've had.

00:37:37Lots of second places,

00:37:39but you've come home strong.

00:37:41Yeah.

00:37:41Well done.

00:37:42It's time for you to decide

00:37:51which contestants you think

00:37:52have created this week's winning outdoor space.

00:37:55Just head to the Block website now

00:37:57to cast your vote

00:37:58and don't miss the results

00:38:00a little later in the show.

00:38:07OK, here we go.

00:38:08I'm going to hand the iPad over.

00:38:10Oh, OK.

00:38:11Rightio.

00:38:12I'm not sure what to do with my hands.

00:38:15All right.

00:38:16Do I channel my best Scott camera?

00:38:17No, no.

00:38:18I think you do in your Shelly Club.

00:38:19All right.

00:38:20House two, hand and can.

00:38:22What another big week, girls.

00:38:23We're working right down to the wire again.

00:38:29This week was...

00:38:31BIA.

00:38:32What is that?

00:38:34Business as usual.

00:38:36No, that's BAU.

00:38:41We're continuing

00:38:41doing our theme with Christian Jenkins.

00:38:44He's doing a Japanese-inspired landscape.

00:38:46And I just thought,

00:38:47wouldn't it be cool

00:38:48if we had a big Tory gate

00:38:51above the driveway?

00:38:52Are you...

00:38:53Are you literally trying to f***ing kill me?

00:38:55So, flow estate is a play on the words flow state.

00:39:00We want the inside and the outside to have that flow.

00:39:04So, I had to go to Bunning.

00:39:07They've got, like, perfect Japanese Northcote pottery.

00:39:10Zen water features, so that wind.

00:39:13And then we went down to Bromley.

00:39:16We'll take this, please.

00:39:18So, did you buy anything Japanese?

00:39:19Yeah.

00:39:20It's an elephant Buddha from Bromley.

00:39:24But you know Buddha's not Japanese, right?

00:39:30We love Christian,

00:39:32but he moves at his own pace.

00:39:34We're going to play around with raked riversand,

00:39:37one on a journey to get to the front door.

00:39:40Um, yeah.

00:39:43Um, yeah.

00:39:48Obviously, we've run out of budget,

00:39:50but focus is using all of our blockbugs and sponsors.

00:39:54And I have my beacon console on site with Anton today.

00:39:58So, outdoor lighting.

00:40:00Yes.

00:40:01I know we need entrance lights, of course.

00:40:03So, we'll need here.

00:40:05Yep.

00:40:05Here.

00:40:06Yep.

00:40:06Obviously here.

00:40:07Yep.

00:40:07And something happening along here.

00:40:09Yep.

00:40:09To light up the walkways.

00:40:11Yep.

00:40:12Yep.

00:40:15Watching the Tori Gate go up.

00:40:18Yeah, it's iconic.

00:40:20It's radical.

00:40:22And we love it.

00:40:23We've finished house two.

00:40:26We're done.

00:40:27So happy.

00:40:29I'm so exhausted.

00:40:30But we did it.

00:40:31Walking out of your home today,

00:40:46the judges noticed what a beautiful front door.

00:40:49Yeah, beautiful door handle.

00:40:50Christian Cole.

00:40:51Christian Cole just nails it.

00:40:52Did he do the door?

00:40:52Yep.

00:40:53Nails it every time.

00:40:54Another ramp.

00:40:55Great access.

00:40:56Then, Shana, noticed the name of your house.

00:40:59Flow Estate.

00:41:00What's it called?

00:41:01Flow.

00:41:01Flow Estate.

00:41:02Flow Estate.

00:41:03Doesn't flow.

00:41:04She's feeling the Japan vibes outside, but not so much inside.

00:41:11We talked about that on Friday, didn't we?

00:41:13And Darren didn't love the fencing.

00:41:15I couldn't hate that fencing more.

00:41:18I think that is very harsh and industrial.

00:41:23But Dave Franklin came to your aid saying...

00:41:25You do have what they call Virginia Creeper,

00:41:27so it's like a potato vine.

00:41:28This is probably one of the fastest growing vines, OK?

00:41:32So by the time we come back at auction time,

00:41:34all of this fence should be covered.

00:41:35And obviously this retaining wall,

00:41:36because the front garden here is set so much higher,

00:41:39so not as usable as house one.

00:41:42However, the privacy factor is a real selling feature

00:41:45for the guests of this house,

00:41:47because they essentially get their own little private courtyard,

00:41:50and that water feature is quite relaxing.

00:41:52So if they've got the doors open, warmer months,

00:41:55that'll just filter into the room, and it is quite tranquil.

00:41:57And it goes with that whole Flow Estate brand

00:42:00that they've given the house.

00:42:02This is from Northcote Pottery.

00:42:03So you're basically ready to put straight in your garden,

00:42:05turn it on, you're awake.

00:42:07You've got your water feature.

00:42:08But we all think about, you know, the elephant in the room.

00:42:11This Japanese arbour.

00:42:18I don't hate it.

00:42:19I know it's pulverising, but it kind of works with this garden.

00:42:24It could be reminiscent of, you know,

00:42:25it could be some film director or whatever.

00:42:27It could be Quentin Tarantino's house,

00:42:29because it looks like it's somewhere from Hollywood, I reckon.

00:42:31Well, not the Daleshead Hills, the Hollywood Hills.

00:42:34Marty thinks it's a big risk.

00:42:36Because that is what you see the moment you come to this home,

00:42:41and the moment you walk out the front door,

00:42:42it hits you in the face.

00:42:43When you create something, you do want to create something

00:42:46that you know has a big proportion in the marketplace.

00:42:49The amount of buyers that we will meet in the marketplace

00:42:52that specifically want a Japanese garden are pretty slim.

00:42:55Shana really admires your commitment to it,

00:42:59but she doesn't feel like it really flows with the interior of the home.

00:43:04I absolutely adore that arbour as a grand entrance,

00:43:07and I think the Japanese garden, I like the commitment to it.

00:43:10But inside, it's pop.

00:43:12It's a real pop culture sort of feel inside.

00:43:15That just doesn't feel Japanese to me, though.

00:43:17Well, the judges also took in the side area you delivered this week.

00:43:22Great way to bring some life to that side of the house.

00:43:25Sorry, am I boring you there, Frankie?

00:43:28They then took a turn through the flowing path to the front gate.

00:43:33It's lucky that it's a slow lifestyle here in Dalesford,

00:43:37because if you're walking through that front gate,

00:43:39you are meandering along this path for a good 15 minutes

00:43:44until you get to your front door.

00:43:45Um, but Deb said, I'd just be doing that.

00:43:49Oh, and my OCD would be going off its head.

00:43:52But Shana really, really liked it.

00:43:54You'll probably get kids coming in and drawing it

00:43:56like Darren is at the moment and doing that.

00:43:58Yeah, the kids will love it.

00:43:59It's one of those things that, like, you'd come out here with your cup of tea

00:44:01and you'd sort of make a pattern,

00:44:03and it's about taking it slow.

00:44:05It's about movement.

00:44:06It's taking in the aspects of the Japanese world, I feel like.

00:44:09It's about flowing.

00:44:10It's about flowing.

00:44:12Dave was your biggest fan this week.

00:44:14He thinks this is a really great garden

00:44:16and had a lot of admiration for Christian Jenkins, who worked on it.

00:44:20OK, it's not your usual landscaping,

00:44:22but whether it ticks Japanese, it ticks Japanese for me.

00:44:25Marty thinks the execution this week is next level.

00:44:29Cannot be denied.

00:44:30The craftsmanship,

00:44:32the way in which they've created this grand entry,

00:44:35they have to get really, really a good score for this.

00:44:38Shana said, a great way for you two

00:44:40to finish your rollercoaster on the block,

00:44:42and you've definitely finished on a high.

00:44:46Oh, I'm going to get some reaction out of them now.

00:44:48Their collaboration with Christian has really worked for them.

00:44:51You know, we haven't always loved their rooms,

00:44:54they haven't delivered properly,

00:44:55but I think what they've worked on with the backyard

00:44:58and the front yard with Christian has really brought them...

00:45:00They've definitely finished on a high today.

00:45:02Absolutely.

00:45:03No, well done, girls.

00:45:04All right.

00:45:05That's it.

00:45:06Hand in hand.

00:45:07Well done, guys.

00:45:16Saturday, the 15th of November is...

00:45:18McHappie Day!

00:45:20Help Ronald McDonald House Charities

00:45:22support families with seriously ill children.

00:45:25Two dollars from every Big Mac sold on McHappie Day

00:45:27will go towards RMHC.

00:45:29From all of us here at the block,

00:45:30we support this amazing charity...

00:45:33McHappie Day!

00:45:40OK, how's Shreve Britain Tass?

00:45:46This week was bittersweet.

00:45:48If this week was a drink, it'd be a lemon-lime bitters.

00:45:52That's good.

00:45:56We have a beautiful Indigenous artwork going on the garrison.

00:45:59We've come up with the idea to put a photo of us

00:46:02on top of the artwork.

00:46:04Yeah, look.

00:46:06How am I supposed to keep a straight face for that long

00:46:09that people believe in this is actually what we're doing?

00:46:12I'll be fine.

00:46:13You won't be fine.

00:46:17Garage doors are here.

00:46:18I still think that Fordean thought we were joking

00:46:21and then the door goes on.

00:46:25It's a little part of you like,

00:46:26maybe we'll keep it.

00:46:28Absolutely not.

00:46:32On Yard Week, the budget's $20,000.

00:46:34Is that enough?

00:46:35No.

00:46:35That's not enough.

00:46:36Again, I'm back on the tours.

00:46:37This has got a disaster in all over it.

00:46:39Like, tradies think they're mad smooth and stuff.

00:46:42They're not.

00:46:42They just keep guessing

00:46:43until they get it right.

00:46:43Keep guessing.

00:46:44As long as you act like you know what you're doing,

00:46:46it looks good.

00:46:50So we had discussed planting a crepe myrtle,

00:46:54which we call a hazel tree.

00:46:56We call it a hazel's tree.

00:46:57So this is our daughter that we lost.

00:47:00So we planted one for her in our hometown in Perth.

00:47:03A lot of people go through it,

00:47:04don't talk to anyone about it.

00:47:05Yeah, it's something so common.

00:47:07Like they say, one in four,

00:47:08but probably more than one in three women have miscarriages.

00:47:11Hopefully it brings us some good luck.

00:47:14We have started to dig out of the dry creek

00:47:18and then we've got mulch deliveries coming today.

00:47:20Garden supply places,

00:47:21these are their busiest days on a Friday,

00:47:23especially with the weather like this as well,

00:47:24but the bird out there, unreal.

00:47:26As you can see, the truck's backed in now

00:47:28and ready to dump off 25 cuba mulch.

00:47:32Final piece of the puzzle is JB High 5

00:47:34turning up to install the outdoor cinema.

00:47:36To sit out there around the fire,

00:47:38that just gives us a little bit extra leg up.

00:47:41That's going to be unreal.

00:47:42Yeah, man.

00:47:44This front yard is the full stop for our block journey.

00:47:46It's exactly where we wanted it to be.

00:47:48Shall we find out?

00:47:49Let's go find out.

00:47:50For starters, a glass front door

00:48:14when you've got all of that traffic out the front

00:48:16is a very, very odd choice, isn't it?

00:48:18That has to be the first one I have seen

00:48:21in 20 years of being in real estate.

00:48:24I've got a glass front door.

00:48:25Do you?

00:48:26Yep.

00:48:27Thanks, Sheldon.

00:48:29Speaking of doors...

00:48:30I'm rolling in a binzo.

00:48:33What a garage door.

00:48:34No-one has ever done that before.

00:48:36They've got a local Indigenous artist

00:48:38to specifically do that for their garage door.

00:48:41That is an incredible artwork.

00:48:43Dave was very surprised you didn't add any planting

00:48:46up against the corrugated facade.

00:48:49Because look at the front door here.

00:48:51We've got concrete right up to the house here.

00:48:53There's no greenery whatsoever around here.

00:48:56There's not a lot going on.

00:48:58Oh, come on, Dave.

00:48:59There's a lovely greenery.

00:49:01That's not great.

00:49:02It certainly draws your eye to it.

00:49:04I think it's just a missed opportunity.

00:49:06This is what you're coming home to every night.

00:49:08One window.

00:49:10You've got some colour bond.

00:49:11You've got all of this stuff here.

00:49:12So it's not fantastic.

00:49:15This, for me, looks like an industrial shed.

00:49:17This does not match the level of luxury

00:49:19that is sitting behind these walls.

00:49:21Money is expecting more privacy from the guest suite

00:49:25as this planting is also very sparse.

00:49:28Why not screen this with foliage?

00:49:30You've got essentially a large kitty litter

00:49:32covered in mulch.

00:49:35Shona adores the timber cladding on the gables

00:49:38but once again thinks you've let it down with the planting.

00:49:42You know, if you have a look at this from here,

00:49:44it's barren.

00:49:45This is then back home in the Pilgrim.

00:49:47It is.

00:49:48It's like going to a mine site.

00:49:49That's what I reckon.

00:49:50There is absolutely nothing here at all

00:49:52that I can even talk about landscape.

00:49:54OK, now for some very positive news.

00:49:56The other side of the garden feels much more satisfying.

00:50:00This here is meant to be looking like this.

00:50:03Established trees, lawn.

00:50:05So much better.

00:50:06Amazing.

00:50:07Than that side.

00:50:08It's a much more satisfying shot.

00:50:09Isn't it?

00:50:10Yeah.

00:50:10Because you've got a lot of greenery in the foreground,

00:50:13you've got the peaks of the architecture.

00:50:15Shona thinks this week's result

00:50:17is very much a budget issue.

00:50:20You've got to flip and twist

00:50:22that if they knew they had budget issues even by Wednesday,

00:50:25they could have said,

00:50:25look, let's get rid of that and just turf it

00:50:27and just use all the sponsored products.

00:50:29Darren thinks you haven't missed a beat

00:50:30throughout the past 11 weeks.

00:50:33So he was quite surprised

00:50:35that you wouldn't have planned this out better.

00:50:37How did they not know that things were outstanding

00:50:40at this point in the competition

00:50:42when they've run such a tight ship internally

00:50:44with their budgets, with their projects?

00:50:47For the front of your home?

00:50:49Like for the facade of your house?

00:50:51And for a massive, massive prize.

00:50:53Two cars, 50 grand.

00:50:55I mean, it could win or lose this competition.

00:50:59Unless did they get caught out?

00:51:00Because I know that we do have to walk through this gate

00:51:03and if they've done something

00:51:05that's a little bit more expensive through there,

00:51:08maybe that is where they've been hamstrung.

00:51:11Let's have a look.

00:51:13Ending on a high around to the back of your shed,

00:51:16they found something to really like.

00:51:19Complex, is it?

00:51:20Yeah.

00:51:21You just got to push it, Marty.

00:51:24I don't know what...

00:51:26LAUGHTER

00:51:27LAUGHTER

00:51:28Here we go.

00:51:33Look at that.

00:51:35They've built a little moonlight cinema.

00:51:38That's pretty cool.

00:51:39Yeah, it's lovely.

00:51:40As long as the wind doesn't blow in you.

00:51:41LAUGHTER

00:51:42Really good use of this space.

00:51:45It is.

00:51:45It's kind of a dead, dull, nothing kind of area.

00:51:48Marty reckons this is very smart.

00:51:51They've almost done what House 4 did

00:51:53with creating that bocce on the side of the property

00:51:55and gave it purpose

00:51:56and this here is a real selling feature

00:51:58for the agency marketing.

00:52:00The question is,

00:52:01was it worth putting the expense of the posts,

00:52:03the chairs, the styling

00:52:04to have the facade

00:52:06that lacks any greenery on the structure?

00:52:10It's probably not the right place.

00:52:13OK, so Britt and Taz,

00:52:15some tough feedback to end on

00:52:17but I have to remind you

00:52:18that you have won the most rooms this season.

00:52:20Yeah.

00:52:21You've been to the most dinners with me.

00:52:22Yeah.

00:52:23So I'm sure

00:52:25that you should be proud

00:52:26of the house that you've built

00:52:27and I know that your family at home watching

00:52:29will be extremely proud

00:52:31of the house that you've built.

00:52:32Appreciate it.

00:52:32Considering you've won that many rooms.

00:52:34Thank you so much.

00:52:35OK, that's it, mate.

00:52:35APPLAUSE

00:52:37And without a single room win.

00:53:03Thanks, Cheryl.

00:53:04Really?

00:53:06You didn't know?

00:53:07No.

00:53:07No, you haven't won anything?

00:53:07No.

00:53:08LAUGHTER

00:53:09This week...

00:53:16Was the last week on the block?

00:53:18Yeah.

00:53:20Smart ass.

00:53:23LAUGHTER

00:53:24Happy birthday, beautiful.

00:53:26Did not picture waking up

00:53:27on my f***ing birthday on the block, no.

00:53:30I would love a bloody win

00:53:31this week for my birthday.

00:53:32I don't want you to be

00:53:33the only team ever in history

00:53:35not to win a room.

00:53:36LAUGHTER

00:53:36That's not f***ing funny.

00:53:38Stop laughing.

00:53:39This is how we do it.

00:53:41We seem to keep getting pipped

00:53:43because we just don't have

00:53:44that little 1% thing

00:53:45to tick us over.

00:53:46So, this week,

00:53:48we're putting a big

00:53:49$260,000 caravan

00:53:51in the front

00:53:51and with our two driveways.

00:53:53You can't get your car out

00:53:54until you move the caravan.

00:53:55Yeah, you put your car in first

00:53:56to move the Tirana

00:53:57to move the Cogel.

00:53:58Exactly.

00:54:00Quintessential

00:54:01Aussie front yard.

00:54:05We've got the ramp going in,

00:54:06all our trees out the front.

00:54:07We've lined up

00:54:08a little sneaky car

00:54:10to stay in our driveway.

00:54:11We're reversing our caravan in.

00:54:13We're putting it out

00:54:14to the inverse.

00:54:15Caravan,

00:54:15car,

00:54:16house.

00:54:19MUSIC

00:54:19We've had a little bit

00:54:22of money left

00:54:23and so I make a phone call.

00:54:24I think I'm in the market

00:54:25for something

00:54:26for my front lawn.

00:54:27I do have something in mind.

00:54:29It is a life-size kangaroo.

00:54:33Then I make another phone call.

00:54:34I need some bigger trees.

00:54:36Got some beautiful

00:54:37200-litre Chinese elms.

00:54:39Oh, that looks sick.

00:54:41How cool is that?

00:54:41I didn't think he'd be up there.

00:54:43Well done.

00:54:44Last chance.

00:54:45We've had 12 chances.

00:54:46I'm scared

00:54:47because I don't want

00:54:48to leave a loser.

00:54:49We talk a big game

00:54:50and there's nothing worse

00:54:51than talking a big game

00:54:52and not following through.

00:54:54Well, Dave,

00:55:06if you're going to do

00:55:06a glass door,

00:55:07that's how you do it.

00:55:08You make it private.

00:55:10See?

00:55:10Already.

00:55:11Pots and plants.

00:55:12Already starting to like it.

00:55:13Yeah.

00:55:14That's what they had

00:55:14to do next door.

00:55:16Yeah.

00:55:16They just needed

00:55:17to stop the form work

00:55:18so the concrete

00:55:19didn't touch the house

00:55:19and you've got

00:55:20a garden bed.

00:55:21It's a good start.

00:55:24And those grasses,

00:55:26like we know

00:55:26how big they grow

00:55:27and that will just make

00:55:28that beautiful flow

00:55:30and texture

00:55:31and they go so high

00:55:32in interest

00:55:33but they haven't done

00:55:34it near the door

00:55:34so it's not in your way.

00:55:36Marty just loves

00:55:37how the little Hampton Bricks

00:55:39and Rusty the kangaroo

00:55:40go so well.

00:55:42Oh, goody-ness.

00:55:44Rusty the kangaroo.

00:55:47That's awesome.

00:55:48Oh, I love him so much.

00:55:50Classic textbook

00:55:51Aussie entry

00:55:52with Rusty the kangaroo.

00:55:54Oh, he's so great.

00:55:55Look at the biceps.

00:55:56They're like yours, mate.

00:55:57Give me a run

00:55:58for your money.

00:55:59Darren said

00:56:00doing a sculpture

00:56:00is a tricky decision

00:56:02for a landscape.

00:56:03It can go one of two ways.

00:56:04It can look

00:56:05kind of clunky

00:56:06or tush.

00:56:09That's brilliant.

00:56:10The facets,

00:56:11the design,

00:56:12the craftsmanship.

00:56:13Well, I do know

00:56:14this artist, okay,

00:56:15so his name is Matt Hill.

00:56:16He has done

00:56:17a lot of sculptures

00:56:18and he doesn't only

00:56:19just sell them

00:56:19in Australia.

00:56:20It's around the world,

00:56:21so this sculpture here

00:56:22could be something

00:56:23that goes up in value.

00:56:24They don't even need

00:56:25to name this place

00:56:26because everyone

00:56:27will know

00:56:27it's the one

00:56:28with the kangaroo.

00:56:29Shana was smiling

00:56:30and I know sometimes

00:56:31over the past three months

00:56:32she hasn't necessarily

00:56:33smiled in your house.

00:56:35Today,

00:56:36she was loving it all.

00:56:37I love the rawness

00:56:38of that fence.

00:56:40I love the rawness

00:56:41of the bricks.

00:56:42I love the fact

00:56:42that we've got a maple

00:56:43right by the door.

00:56:45They say home,

00:56:46they say romance,

00:56:47they say this is beauty

00:56:48that changes seasonally

00:56:50and I think this is a garden

00:56:52even though

00:56:52some people say,

00:56:54oh, it's a bit plain.

00:56:54It ain't plain.

00:56:56It's going to change

00:56:57each season.

00:56:59Darren thought

00:56:59it is such a simple

00:57:00but sophisticated palette.

00:57:02He loves the way

00:57:03it's been zoned as well.

00:57:04It's a step back further

00:57:06than house three.

00:57:08So we actually have

00:57:08more space here

00:57:09but it feels

00:57:11so much bigger

00:57:12because you've just got

00:57:13this big expanse

00:57:14of lawn on both sides.

00:57:15What I loved so much

00:57:16about last week's landscape

00:57:18was it felt like

00:57:19the perfect Aussie backyard

00:57:21at a luxe level

00:57:23and this does exactly

00:57:25the same job

00:57:25exactly as well.

00:57:27The judges think

00:57:28you have been very clever

00:57:29with your budget here.

00:57:30You've clearly spent

00:57:31the money on the right things.

00:57:34Probably less amount

00:57:35of plants in here

00:57:36than what we've seen so far.

00:57:37Basically count the trees out.

00:57:38There's probably

00:57:39about ten trees.

00:57:40That's it.

00:57:41These beautiful

00:57:42big Chinese elves,

00:57:43they're six metres.

00:57:45They've only had to

00:57:46put in three trees

00:57:47and all of a sudden

00:57:48we feel like

00:57:49we're in a mature garden.

00:57:50Come auction,

00:57:51this is all going to be

00:57:52sitting in springtime.

00:57:52They're going to look

00:57:53absolutely fantastic.

00:57:55Shana noted

00:57:55it's very clever

00:57:57to put the MGU9

00:57:58in the driveway.

00:58:00I've never seen

00:58:01one of these.

00:58:02Well, nobody's ever

00:58:03seen one of these.

00:58:03It's brand new.

00:58:05Brand new.

00:58:06Wow.

00:58:06And whoever does

00:58:07the best job this week

00:58:08gets to leave it here

00:58:09with their house

00:58:10which adds value

00:58:11to their sale.

00:58:12That you may well

00:58:13stay there.

00:58:16Shana likes

00:58:17the versatility

00:58:18you offer

00:58:19with the extra driveway.

00:58:20Clever

00:58:21is a word

00:58:21that came up

00:58:22many times

00:58:23in your yard today.

00:58:24That they've put

00:58:25separate gates here

00:58:26and utilised this space

00:58:27and they can park

00:58:28a car in there

00:58:29if they want.

00:58:30But if a buyer

00:58:30comes along

00:58:31and goes,

00:58:31well, I don't want that,

00:58:33that's easy planting.

00:58:34In terms of amenity,

00:58:35having this area

00:58:36and a separate gate

00:58:37and space for a caravan

00:58:38and showing how

00:58:39you could use it

00:58:40just adds value

00:58:41to the house.

00:58:41And as Marty pointed out,

00:58:43if somebody buys your home

00:58:45and doesn't want the caravan,

00:58:46they can very easily

00:58:47sell it off

00:58:47and cover their stamp duty.

00:58:49Like, what a feature

00:58:50that is for the marketing

00:58:51of the home.

00:58:52Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

00:58:53The only other thing

00:58:54Shana would like

00:58:55to have seen today

00:58:56is a hedge

00:58:57to screen the chairs

00:58:57outside the guest suite.

00:58:59I would have liked

00:59:00to see something

00:59:00in front of there

00:59:01just a fraction.

00:59:02Like, you know,

00:59:02they are exposed.

00:59:04So just privacy

00:59:05for that guest.

00:59:05I'll tell you what,

00:59:06I'm glad you found

00:59:06a fault.

00:59:09It's pretty hard.

00:59:10This is pretty faultless.

00:59:11Yeah.

00:59:12Marty reckons

00:59:13what you've delivered

00:59:14is an emotional connection.

00:59:17I feel like I'm standing

00:59:18in a home

00:59:19that has been stood here

00:59:21for five, six, seven,

00:59:23eight, nine years.

00:59:24It feels so established

00:59:25and the houses before that

00:59:27did feel like

00:59:28they were new.

00:59:29There's a soul here.

00:59:30There's a purpose.

00:59:31Also going to probably

00:59:32help sell this house

00:59:33and also

00:59:34it's a massive, massive price.

00:59:36Yeah.

00:59:37It looks like

00:59:38House 4 has been

00:59:38an absolute dark horse.

00:59:40Yeah.

00:59:41Do you know what?

00:59:41If you're going to come through

00:59:42at some point,

00:59:44this is a great point

00:59:45to hit your stride.

00:59:47Sonia and Lisa,

00:59:47that is it.

01:00:00Thank you very much,

01:00:02Cheryl.

01:00:02Well done.

01:00:03Great job.

01:00:04OK, House 5,

01:00:05Robbie and Matt.

01:00:05Hello.

01:00:06Hello.

01:00:06If this week

01:00:11was a musical theatre show,

01:00:13what would it be?

01:00:14Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

01:00:15Because the first part

01:00:16was pretty s***

01:00:17and the last part of it

01:00:18ended with a bang.

01:00:19And I'd say cats

01:00:20because the contestants

01:00:21are a bunch of...

01:00:22In the landscape of Paul Grant,

01:00:25he's so talented

01:00:26and his design work

01:00:28is insane.

01:00:28But on Monday morning,

01:00:30he told us,

01:00:31we've got 34 grand.

01:00:33Outstanding.

01:00:33Sorry, what?

01:00:36No, I'm ready to kill someone.

01:00:41Paul, you know,

01:00:43we give him credit

01:00:44because he wants

01:00:45to finish the job.

01:00:46We just have to go away

01:00:47and work out

01:00:47where we can cut costs.

01:00:48So Matt and I

01:00:49are just rolling up our sleeves

01:00:51and be Paul's labourers

01:00:52for a couple of days.

01:00:54Now, you get that on camera?

01:00:58Two dumb s***s on a couch

01:01:00going shopping

01:01:02for a driveway.

01:01:03How are you?

01:01:04Ricky.

01:01:04I'm Robbie.

01:01:05Hi, Ricky.

01:01:05I'm Matt.

01:01:06Here to do some

01:01:07driveway selection.

01:01:08So our house

01:01:08is the one on the end there

01:01:10that is that beautiful

01:01:11dark charcoal

01:01:13nearly black colour.

01:01:14So yeah,

01:01:14we've got a bit

01:01:14of a variety here

01:01:15but you could go

01:01:16something to contrast

01:01:17the dark cladding.

01:01:18I love this.

01:01:21Alright, let's go there.

01:01:22Done.

01:01:27Today,

01:01:28we got lots of plants.

01:01:29Am I excited?

01:01:30Yes.

01:01:31Yes, I am.

01:01:32I love gardening.

01:01:33I love being outside.

01:01:35I get pulled away

01:01:36to do an interview.

01:01:37Come back

01:01:37and I go to start

01:01:39planting a pot

01:01:40and start to move

01:01:41and dig the dirt away.

01:01:52We've got our water feature

01:01:54arriving from

01:01:54Water Features Direct

01:01:55and it's a huge

01:01:57I guess a big dish

01:01:59with a big ramp

01:02:00of water

01:02:01so it pumps through

01:02:01and it's right in line

01:02:03with the front door.

01:02:04What's the word

01:02:04we're looking for?

01:02:05Oh, feng shui.

01:02:07Feng shui.

01:02:08Feng shui.

01:02:09Pushing the money

01:02:10into the front door.

01:02:11Feng shui.

01:02:12Shui.

01:02:13Feng shui.

01:02:16Yes.

01:02:16We are done

01:02:19like a dinner.

01:02:21D-U-N.

01:02:21It's been a remarkable

01:02:2212 weeks.

01:02:24We've learnt a lot

01:02:25and built a beautiful house

01:02:26and we're very proud of it.

01:02:29We're looking forward

01:02:30to auction day

01:02:31but until then...

01:02:35Last judges feedback

01:02:37for the year, Troops.

01:02:39Going on a holiday.

01:02:42Darren walked in

01:02:43and said

01:02:43ooh la la

01:02:44that is a beautiful

01:02:45front door.

01:02:46And that handle

01:02:48is heaven.

01:02:49Christian Cole again?

01:02:51Always delivers.

01:02:53I agree with Shona.

01:02:54Christian has delivered

01:02:54every year.

01:02:55He's one of the best

01:02:56joiners,

01:02:57cabinet makers

01:02:57in the country.

01:02:59This is another

01:02:59fantastic looking house.

01:03:01Yep.

01:03:01It's a cracking facade.

01:03:02Like the James Hardy

01:03:03Bordenbatten

01:03:04is just such

01:03:05an elegant line.

01:03:06For me,

01:03:07it's like quintessential

01:03:08Dalesford

01:03:09contemporary farmhouse.

01:03:11Let's talk about

01:03:12the garden.

01:03:13Well, it's a very

01:03:14different garden,

01:03:15isn't it?

01:03:15Like, there's no

01:03:16big flat lawns,

01:03:17there's no massive

01:03:18trees.

01:03:18It's very different.

01:03:19Dave Franklin

01:03:20thinks this space

01:03:21has been executed

01:03:22perfectly

01:03:23by Paul Grant.

01:03:26I just love

01:03:27how you've got

01:03:27this mirandering

01:03:27pathway through here,

01:03:29the undulating

01:03:29mounds.

01:03:30There's a bit more

01:03:30of a warmth

01:03:31than having it

01:03:31just flat.

01:03:32and he's got the

01:03:33water feature

01:03:34in the best spot.

01:03:35Look at that.

01:03:36Look how it hangs

01:03:37out of the

01:03:37cliffside,

01:03:38basically.

01:03:39It's not sort

01:03:39of square in

01:03:40there.

01:03:40It's beautiful.

01:03:42Shana likes

01:03:42the way the

01:03:43boulders have

01:03:43been used as

01:03:44sculptures

01:03:44throughout the

01:03:46garden.

01:03:46A lot of the

01:03:46time you have

01:03:47the boulders as

01:03:48a retainer to

01:03:50sort of drive

01:03:50everything together,

01:03:51but we've got

01:03:52the boulders here

01:03:53looking like

01:03:53they've just

01:03:54fallen from the

01:03:54sky and just

01:03:56landed like

01:03:56meteorites.

01:03:57I just love

01:03:58that.

01:03:59How it sort

01:03:59of edges onto

01:04:00the grass.

01:04:01Dave also

01:04:02called it

01:04:02probably the

01:04:03most sustainable

01:04:04garden on the

01:04:05block.

01:04:06He's really

01:04:06matching this

01:04:07into the

01:04:07borrowed landscape

01:04:08is what he

01:04:09says.

01:04:09Got a lot of

01:04:10native plants in

01:04:10here.

01:04:11Everything's

01:04:11pretty much

01:04:12local.

01:04:12So this is a

01:04:13garden that

01:04:13actually is

01:04:14probably going

01:04:14to go better

01:04:14than any other

01:04:15garden.

01:04:15So very low

01:04:16maintenance.

01:04:16Very low

01:04:17maintenance here.

01:04:18Once it starts

01:04:18growing in, you

01:04:19really won't need

01:04:20any water.

01:04:21As he took it

01:04:21all in, Darren

01:04:22said it's probably

01:04:22a 10 out of 10

01:04:24front garden.

01:04:25Just not today.

01:04:26Hence I haven't

01:04:27said a word

01:04:28yet.

01:04:29Go for it.

01:04:30Because I'm

01:04:30underwhelmed and

01:04:31it's not because

01:04:33the garden is

01:04:34underwhelming.

01:04:34It's because the

01:04:35planting and the

01:04:37age that they've

01:04:38used and the

01:04:38fact that it

01:04:39isn't the full

01:04:40picture yet.

01:04:40I can see once

01:04:41it's done, once

01:04:42all of these big

01:04:44mounds go out and

01:04:45we have all the

01:04:45kangaroo paws and

01:04:46all the lovely

01:04:47Australian natives in

01:04:48here, it's going to

01:04:49be breathtaking and

01:04:50beautiful.

01:04:50But right now,

01:04:52there's not enough

01:04:53in here for it to

01:04:55be really stimulating

01:04:56as a native

01:04:56garden.

01:04:57Darren can see

01:04:58that the work

01:04:59that has been

01:04:59done is meticulous.

01:05:01You can see

01:05:01that the

01:05:02craftsmanship and

01:05:03the workmanship

01:05:03is gorgeous.

01:05:05But the fact

01:05:06is they ran out

01:05:07of money, they

01:05:08spent a lot of

01:05:09money on the

01:05:10wine teller and

01:05:11it means they

01:05:12had to use very

01:05:12juvenile plants.

01:05:13He thinks the

01:05:14size of the

01:05:14plants probably

01:05:16reflects a

01:05:17dwindling budget.

01:05:19He's sure

01:05:20right about that,

01:05:20isn't he?

01:05:21No cash here,

01:05:22Scotty.

01:05:23He understands it

01:05:24will be spectacular

01:05:25given time.

01:05:27At auction, it's

01:05:28going to be all

01:05:28that more developed

01:05:29and in spring, it's

01:05:30going to be really,

01:05:31really interesting.

01:05:32Right now, today,

01:05:34it's underwhelming.

01:05:35And what are we

01:05:36judging?

01:05:36We're judging today.

01:05:38The judges were

01:05:39taking their jobs

01:05:40very seriously today

01:05:41because they were

01:05:42all keenly aware of

01:05:45what's at stake.

01:05:46As they said, the

01:05:47winner tonight could

01:05:49possibly win the

01:05:51block.

01:05:51Whoever wins today

01:05:53will get $50,000

01:05:54off their reserve

01:05:55plus two cars.

01:05:57Well, why don't we

01:05:57all get together, go

01:05:58to the farmer's arms,

01:05:59have a couple beers,

01:06:00maybe a few

01:06:01lemonades and a feed

01:06:02and we'll do the

01:06:03scores.

01:06:03Mate, now you're

01:06:04talking.

01:06:04Great, great idea.

01:06:06That's it, Robbie

01:06:06and Matt.

01:06:07Not bad for a

01:06:07couple of hairdressers.

01:06:09We'll take it.

01:06:11Just a couple of

01:06:11guys.

01:06:19All right, scores.

01:06:26Here we go for the

01:06:27last time.

01:06:28I'll be back in a

01:06:29sec, Cheryl.

01:06:29No worries.

01:06:29I'll get out of the

01:06:30way.

01:06:34Love you, mate.

01:06:35Love you, too.

01:06:38Dave Franklin, Emma

01:06:40and Ben.

01:06:43You've got it

01:06:43guarded.

01:06:44That's quite

01:06:44thought out.

01:06:45It's actually

01:06:45planted perfectly.

01:06:46It's pretty hard

01:06:47to beat.

01:06:49I don't hate it.

01:06:53I know it's

01:06:53pulverising, but it

01:06:55kind of works for

01:06:55this garden.

01:07:00We're at the

01:07:00Taz.

01:07:00It's a nine.

01:07:03There's no greenery

01:07:04whatsoever out here.

01:07:06There's not a lot

01:07:07going on.

01:07:10It's only on a

01:07:11loose.

01:07:13These beautiful

01:07:14big Chinese

01:07:15alums, come

01:07:15auction, I mean,

01:07:16this is all going to

01:07:17be sickening

01:07:17springtime.

01:07:18They're going to

01:07:18look absolutely

01:07:19fantastic.

01:07:22Robbie and

01:07:23Matt.

01:07:24This is a garden

01:07:25that's actually

01:07:25probably going to

01:07:26go better than

01:07:26any other garden.

01:07:27Very low

01:07:27maintenance.

01:07:29Eight.

01:07:31Okay, there it

01:07:31is.

01:07:32Some high nines

01:07:33there.

01:07:33Out of the way.

01:07:35Okay.

01:07:36Going

01:07:37hammer first.

01:07:38Emma and

01:07:38Ben.

01:07:39Emma and

01:07:39Ben.

01:07:42Landscaping is

01:07:43always important,

01:07:44but in

01:07:44Dalesford it's

01:07:45particularly

01:07:45important.

01:07:46These are

01:07:47garden homes.

01:07:51Pen and

01:07:52can.

01:07:54You are

01:07:55meandering along

01:07:56this path.

01:07:57It's lucky that

01:07:58it's a slow

01:07:59lifestyle here in

01:08:00Dalesford.

01:08:03Darren with the

01:08:04big scores.

01:08:05Britt and

01:08:05Taz.

01:08:08Really good use

01:08:10of this space.

01:08:11It's kind of a

01:08:11dead, dull,

01:08:12nothing area.

01:08:16Son of a

01:08:17loose.

01:08:19That's brilliant.

01:08:20The facets,

01:08:21the design,

01:08:22the craftsmanship.

01:08:25Nine and a

01:08:25half.

01:08:27Oh my God,

01:08:27I feel sick.

01:08:29I'm about to

01:08:29piss my pants.

01:08:31Robbie and

01:08:31Matt.

01:08:33The craftsmanship

01:08:34and the workmanship

01:08:35is gorgeous.

01:08:36The fact is,

01:08:37they ran out of

01:08:38money and it

01:08:39means they had to

01:08:40use very juvenile

01:08:41plans.

01:08:42Nine.

01:08:43Do you remember

01:08:43when we used to

01:08:44give like sixes?

01:08:45Yep.

01:08:46Oh, don't worry,

01:08:46there's been a few

01:08:47of them.

01:08:49I wasn't going to

01:08:49say that.

01:08:51Marty Fox.

01:08:52Here we have been.

01:08:53I just love this

01:08:55experience of

01:08:56coming out and

01:08:56seeing that

01:08:57driveway.

01:08:57It's so grand.

01:09:02And in

01:09:02can.

01:09:04Three

01:09:04nights.

01:09:05The amount of

01:09:06buyers that

01:09:06specifically want

01:09:08a Japanese garden

01:09:09are pretty slim.

01:09:13A bit

01:09:14of Taz.

01:09:15This,

01:09:16for me,

01:09:16looks like an

01:09:17industrial ship.

01:09:18This just does not

01:09:18match the level of

01:09:19luxury that is

01:09:21sitting behind

01:09:21these walls.

01:09:23Sunny and

01:09:26a leash.

01:09:27Don't cook us,

01:09:29Marty,

01:09:29please don't.

01:09:29There's a soul

01:09:30here,

01:09:31there's a purpose.

01:09:32It looks like

01:09:32Housefall's been

01:09:33an absolute dark

01:09:34horse.

01:09:35It's big

01:09:36Becky's

01:09:37to go to town!

01:09:41Marty's

01:09:42come to the

01:09:42party,

01:09:43finally.

01:09:44We've been

01:09:44waiting all

01:09:45we'll see.

01:09:47Come on,

01:09:48Marty.

01:09:49Robbie and

01:09:49Matt.

01:09:49Well,

01:09:52it's a very

01:09:52different garden,

01:09:53isn't it?

01:09:53Like,

01:09:53there's no big

01:09:54flat lawns,

01:09:55there's no

01:09:55massive trees,

01:09:56it's very

01:09:57different.

01:09:58Eight and

01:09:58a half.

01:10:00Okay,

01:10:01I'll see you

01:10:01in a sec.

01:10:04Anyone do the

01:10:05math?

01:10:05Are you actually

01:10:06calculating as you

01:10:07go,

01:10:07or is it just

01:10:07blackout?

01:10:08We're half a point

01:10:09ahead,

01:10:09I think.

01:10:10I don't know.

01:10:11Okay,

01:10:12Shana Bligh's

01:10:13Emma and

01:10:13Ben.

01:10:15You see the

01:10:16value of a

01:10:17landscape designer.

01:10:19Everything's

01:10:19planted to

01:10:20perfection.

01:10:21Pan and

01:10:22can.

01:10:23It's about

01:10:23taking it

01:10:24slow,

01:10:25it's about

01:10:25movement,

01:10:26it's taking

01:10:26in the

01:10:27aspects of

01:10:27the Japanese

01:10:28world.

01:10:29It's about

01:10:29blowing.

01:10:31Britain

01:10:32tears.

01:10:32It's barren.

01:10:34If they

01:10:34knew they had

01:10:34budget issues,

01:10:35if they could

01:10:35have said,

01:10:36look,

01:10:36let's get rid

01:10:36of that and

01:10:36just turf it.

01:10:38It's

01:10:38foolish.

01:10:39This is a

01:10:40garden,

01:10:41even though

01:10:41some people

01:10:42say,

01:10:42oh,

01:10:43it's a bit

01:10:43plain,

01:10:43it's going

01:10:44to change

01:10:45each season.

01:10:48Robbie and

01:10:49Matt.

01:10:49We've got

01:10:50the boulders
