00:00:00Last time on Rock the Block.
00:00:02Meet me in Las Vegas.
00:00:03The competition hit a new level.
00:00:06I know how burning feels.
00:00:07In the first ever multi-gen sweep.
00:00:09The frontrunner Scott and Brooke suddenly looks a little shaky.
00:00:13Oh my God!
00:00:15Frickin' water's on.
00:00:17While Kim and Chelsea ran into problems of their own.
00:00:20I hate it with all my heart.
00:00:22Oh, well, just say it.
00:00:23And the pressure was on for the two teams still to claim their first victory.
00:00:27You want me to pull all this tile?
00:00:29It's not my fault.
00:00:30I don't want to participate in Charlie.
00:00:32The teams judged each other's spaces.
00:00:35And they did not pull any punches.
00:00:37There's no refrigerator.
00:00:39No microwave.
00:00:40This is a very specific setup.
00:00:42It's really ugly.
00:00:44One team finally joined the winner's circle.
00:00:48Tanya and Drew!
00:00:51Tanya and Drew joined Kim and Chelsea at one win apiece.
00:00:55With Scott and Brooke leading the pack with two.
00:00:59Now, they must design three essential spaces.
00:01:03This was overly ambitious.
00:01:04Is this the hill you want to die on?
00:01:06We don't win this week.
00:01:07Oh, no, if we're ever going to win.
00:01:09Can you sew faster?
00:01:10Oh, wow, really?
00:01:11And reality TV icon, Luanne DeLasseps, makes her debut as a judge on the block.
00:01:17This is a win for me.
00:01:18This is definitely going to add some value.
00:01:20I feel like it's a kid's room.
00:01:21It should be a little bit more light and playful.
00:01:40Hello, teams.
00:01:42It's time to start your fifth week on the block.
00:01:45How are you feeling?
00:01:47It's fine, buddy.
00:01:48It's so stupid.
00:01:50We're getting our fifth wind over here.
00:01:52Yeah.
00:01:52So how about a big congratulations to Tanya and Drew on our big win in the multi-gen suites.
00:01:58See you, neighbors.
00:01:59Well done.
00:02:00Woo-hoo.
00:02:00So you guys took the $1,000 and you're going to put it towards your final appraisal.
00:02:05You feel good about it?
00:02:06With the primary and the kitchen and the great room all kind of covered, I feel like our big
00:02:12money spends should be hopefully out of the way.
00:02:14So let's bank it towards the end.
00:02:16It's a good, boring strategy.
00:02:17It's really nice.
00:02:18You would know all about boring.
00:02:19Never.
00:02:20Drew and I were starting to feel like the wind was being taken out of our sails.
00:02:24We needed a little ego boost, a little confidence boost.
00:02:27Yeah, it was perfect timing.
00:02:29What about the chance that you can now have some smack talk back to Scott, our neighbors?
00:02:35Oh, those are the silver linings.
00:02:38There is no slowing down now because this week you're tackling three hardworking spaces.
00:02:45Rooms like these are absolute difference makers in how a house functions.
00:02:49The office, laundry room, and RV garage.
00:02:52That's a massive space with 18-foot ceilings.
00:02:56RVs are increasingly popular in the Southwest.
00:03:00Even if a buyer doesn't have one, they likely have toys like a boat or off-road vehicle that
00:03:06need storing.
00:03:07So part of your strategy will be keep it as a usable garage or transform it into something
00:03:13else.
00:03:15Yikes.
00:03:16Your challenge is to turn these practical zones into places that elevate the way somebody
00:03:21actually lives.
00:03:22The big garage terrifies me.
00:03:25It's too big.
00:03:26I mean, it seems like it would be great for, like, someone that's teaching volleyball lessons.
00:03:30A trapeze.
00:03:31An archery range.
00:03:33A rock climbing wall.
00:03:34I have all kinds of ideas for that room.
00:03:37Furniture and decor will be provided, of course, by our friends at Wayfair.
00:03:41Woo!
00:03:42Yes.
00:03:44Are you ready?
00:03:45Yes!
00:03:46There we are.
00:03:46Go get them!
00:03:47Woo!
00:03:48Good luck!
00:03:49Let's do it.
00:03:50Are you ready for this?
00:04:01Week five, Drew.
00:04:03Week five.
00:04:04Week five.
00:04:05I can't believe we're still standing.
00:04:07It's not going to get any easier.
00:04:08We have to bring it this week.
00:04:09But we also have to stay under budget because we are less than $100,000 left.
00:04:15So this is the office.
00:04:18Huh.
00:04:18What are you thinking?
00:04:19It's small.
00:04:20It is cozy.
00:04:22But it's a good location for an office.
00:04:24It's right off the courtyard.
00:04:26It's a closet.
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:28Technically, it's a bedroom.
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:30We don't have to make it a bedroom.
00:04:32Right.
00:04:32But it still could be listed as a bedroom.
00:04:35We can fit it so it doesn't look like, oh, it's a bedroom.
00:04:37We threw a desk in there.
00:04:38Right.
00:04:38We can make it look like a really sick office.
00:04:42So maybe we do all custom built-ins.
00:04:45Okay.
00:04:46Also, we're doing so many digital conference calls that the backdrop,
00:04:50fantastic and gorgeous.
00:04:51I agree.
00:04:52And then do this whole thing.
00:04:54Build-ins as well.
00:04:56All right.
00:05:01Okay.
00:05:01We have a laundry room.
00:05:03All right.
00:05:03The one thing that I feel like gets forgotten a lot is the most important family member of
00:05:09all pets.
00:05:12My dog is the king of the household.
00:05:14I mean, we had a 100-pound German shepherd, and one of the worst things was trying to give
00:05:18him a bath.
00:05:20I want a dog wash in here.
00:05:23If we could squeeze it.
00:05:24It's a huge space.
00:05:25Yeah.
00:05:26You've got the garage there.
00:05:27You're going to want some sort of mudroom drop zone situation.
00:05:31Exactly.
00:05:31Storage.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Bench to sit down and put your shoes on.
00:05:35Washer and dryer here.
00:05:36Right.
00:05:37Love, love.
00:05:37Right.
00:05:38Should we hit up the RV garage?
00:05:40Yes.
00:05:40Let's see the monster after you.
00:05:42Oh, well, we've got the garage right here, so that's good.
00:05:47The space is something else.
00:05:50It literally feels like a bowling alley.
00:05:52Should we do a bowling alley?
00:05:54We could do a bowling alley.
00:05:56How about a gym?
00:05:57Boring.
00:05:58You know, I'm sure gyms are being done all around on the block.
00:06:02I do think there is something to be said.
00:06:04I know you're like, oh, everybody's going to do a gym, but having some sort of area where
00:06:08you can work out.
00:06:09Yeah, like a high-end wellness.
00:06:12Retreat.
00:06:13Yes.
00:06:13You could do a sauna.
00:06:14We can have a hot tub and Pilates reformers.
00:06:17And we could get super Vegas with it.
00:06:19Hang some silks, bring in a sensory deprivation tank.
00:06:23And we can open the back up with a glass door to get airflow in here.
00:06:27The key is options.
00:06:29Yeah.
00:06:30That's the key.
00:06:31We want them to have flexibility.
00:06:32Literally, figuratively, stretching.
00:06:35We want flexibility.
00:06:37We don't have flexibility with the budget.
00:06:38We have to do all three spaces for $25,000 or less.
00:06:43The wellness spa is a great way to do that.
00:06:45We are trying to create something without adding walls or any additional structure.
00:06:50But it still allows the flexibility.
00:06:52So if the owner does have an RV, they can still park it in there.
00:06:55Let's knock a big old hole in the wall.
00:06:57Very delicately.
00:06:58Delicate, yes.
00:06:59That's my real name, delicate.
00:07:06So this is supposed to be an office.
00:07:09Right.
00:07:09Are you still feeling energetic?
00:07:13A little bit of wind out of my sails from last week, to be honest, because I thought we had
00:07:17it.
00:07:18I'm still feeling strong, though, because overall appraisal value, like we can still take the whole thing.
00:07:24I think we're killing it.
00:07:25I do.
00:07:25We want to do an office in here and a bedroom.
00:07:29So on an appraisal, it counts as a bedroom, but you can use it for an office.
00:07:32100%.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:33But we don't want it to be both at the same time.
00:07:35Right.
00:07:36My question is, how do you do a bed and a desk?
00:07:39Murphy bed would work up against this wall.
00:07:41I really feel like this is the only place to be.
00:07:44Okay, let's put the desk here.
00:07:46And we should make this room dark, but with a cute chandelier.
00:07:51Flex space for the win.
00:07:53Flex space.
00:07:53It's not five times fast.
00:07:54Flex space for the win.
00:07:56Flex space for the win.
00:07:56Flex space for the win.
00:07:57One of the most underestimated rooms in the house.
00:08:01One of my favorite rooms in the house.
00:08:03Really?
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:04Do we want side by side or we want stack?
00:08:07I'm an old school white metal top load washer dryer kind of girl.
00:08:10What?
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:11You're not getting those here.
00:08:13Front loaders.
00:08:14Oh, we definitely need more counter space for sure.
00:08:17Sink.
00:08:18Right.
00:08:18Storage.
00:08:19Yes.
00:08:20So like we could do the benchy mudroom thing.
00:08:21I think that's going to make a huge difference.
00:08:26Let's go check out that RV garage.
00:08:28This is where you drive in the RV.
00:08:30Back it up.
00:08:31This is awesome.
00:08:33I think to preserve the value of this property, no matter what we do, you still need to be
00:08:40able to move things out of the way and pull in an RV.
00:08:42Well, lucky for you, garage of the double is something else or my forte.
00:08:46Okay.
00:08:47Because in Nashville, everybody turns their garage into a game room garage.
00:08:51What do you think about a sport court of a sense?
00:08:54Because you could drive on it.
00:08:55You could do, yeah, you could do like a volleyball, basketball, pickleball with a drop
00:09:00down screen that comes right down in the middle.
00:09:02So if the game is on, everyone can see the game.
00:09:05That is cool.
00:09:06I think pickleball is huge and I think that's a great idea.
00:09:09The only way that we're going to win this is if this can do everything.
00:09:12We're going to go balls to the wall in here.
00:09:16That should be a neon.
00:09:17What if we did the whole wall in pickleball and say balls to the ball?
00:09:23We got 30 grand.
00:09:24Oh my gosh, $30,000 would get us so far.
00:09:27Aside from the fact that it is week five and the pattern shows that we win all the odd
00:09:31number weeks.
00:09:32Mm-hmm.
00:09:33The key to another win is to keep this RV garage a functional RV garage for the appraisal.
00:09:40We have to keep the RV garage because that's something that seems to be valuable in this
00:09:45neighborhood while still adding some cool additions to this luxury home.
00:09:49Absolutely.
00:09:50Well, I like it.
00:09:51It's a ballsy move, right?
00:09:53I'm glad that we have the balls to do it.
00:09:54We'd be nuts not to.
00:09:55Oh my gosh.
00:10:02It's really tiny for a bedroom.
00:10:04It is a very small bedroom and it's very much off the courtyard.
00:10:10Which you don't want to see when you walk.
00:10:11I wouldn't.
00:10:12This is just the right amount of space for a small desk and a storage unit behind it to
00:10:17put all your stuff in.
00:10:18We can do a great wall covering, have great built-ins, do a cool light.
00:10:22Definitely wallpaper room.
00:10:24Mm-hmm.
00:10:25Should we take the closet out?
00:10:27I think if we take the closet out, it's going to feel a lot bigger.
00:10:31It almost feels too small to be in the office right now.
00:10:35It does feel like a big risk to take the closet out because then we are very clearly saying
00:10:39that this is not a bedroom and we're losing a bedroom.
00:10:42But we're really not losing anything by losing this little drywall box with a clothing rod.
00:10:48Okay, I'm with you.
00:10:49All right, so what's down this hallway again?
00:10:51The laundry?
00:10:51Yeah, this is going to be laundry.
00:10:52This is a good-sized laundry room.
00:10:54It's massive.
00:10:55How are we going to make a smoky, sexy laundry room?
00:10:59Maybe we should do it dark.
00:11:01Cabinets, lockers.
00:11:02Mm-hmm.
00:11:03I like that idea.
00:11:04We'll get a countertop so you have a surface.
00:11:07Use this for your mudroom drop zone.
00:11:09What if we do a freestanding sink here and we just put a cool skirt on it and bring a
00:11:14sexy
00:11:15grandma fabric in?
00:11:18Let's check out this room.
00:11:19The big garage.
00:11:21Let there be lights.
00:11:22Oh!
00:11:23I got to be honest with you.
00:11:25This is one of the ones I'm super stumped on.
00:11:27It's such a big space.
00:11:29I almost think we need to chunk it out into multiple spaces.
00:11:32Well, I do like that we start each room by figuring out what the house is missing.
00:11:37I do think a gym is probably necessary in a house like this, but not the whole thing.
00:11:42No, it would be too big.
00:11:44I mean, it's almost like you could have members.
00:11:46You would have in a gym.
00:11:47Right.
00:11:48All the wellness things.
00:11:49Bath house.
00:11:50A bath house.
00:11:52Love.
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:53We could have a sauna.
00:11:54We could have a cold plunge.
00:11:55What if we add a see-through roll-up door into the backyard so it doesn't feel like the
00:12:01back of a garage?
00:12:03But then this part is the part that we connected to our closet.
00:12:08What if this sort of feels like your locker room?
00:12:11That's where we bring in our vibes.
00:12:13It's like a really cool juice bar.
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:15I like that.
00:12:16And so we would do this part as the gym.
00:12:19Gym.
00:12:20Gosh.
00:12:21It's a lot.
00:12:22Is that in her budget?
00:12:23It's a gym?
00:12:24Yeah.
00:12:24I mean, I think we only have $105,000 left.
00:12:29So you think maybe $45,000?
00:12:32And I think that's on the low side would be my guess.
00:12:35I mean, what's crazier?
00:12:37Removing a closet or adding walls to the RV garage to ensure that you're never going to
00:12:42be able to use it as an RV garage?
00:12:43I know, but in this area, we don't need another bedroom in our home.
00:12:46So I'm just hoping that the judges are going to agree with that.
00:12:50Time to bust down some walls.
00:12:53Love up.
00:12:53Let's do it.
00:12:54Let's go.
00:12:55I'm ready.
00:13:03All right, Drew.
00:13:04Take it down.
00:13:17We're really itching to get another win.
00:13:20Week two was a long time ago.
00:13:27This is our week.
00:13:28This is our Super Bowl.
00:13:29This is our Everest.
00:13:30Like, we are going to go big.
00:13:31It sucks being the only team without a win, but we've been thinking about the RV garage
00:13:35since week one.
00:13:36This is our Mount Everest, and we can't wait to finally climb to the top.
00:13:40It's great for an office.
00:13:41I mean, especially with the view that you have right here.
00:13:43So desk here, no cabinets.
00:13:45We're going to have a nice light, we're going to paint, do some kind of, like, a nice, simple
00:13:49arch with some shelves.
00:13:51You want to check out the laundry room next?
00:13:52Yeah, let's do it.
00:13:53Go this way.
00:13:54We have good space.
00:13:56It's much bigger than my laundry room, at least.
00:13:59The simple fact that the laundry room is right here as soon as you come into the garage,
00:14:02I don't like that at all.
00:14:03Well, our garage door is right here.
00:14:05So instead of having the garage door here, why not just pop it here with some beautiful
00:14:11custom cabinets, and then close that off and make it a closet, which I'm sure goes somewhere
00:14:17on appraised value.
00:14:18Okay.
00:14:19Right here is cabinetry, I assume, right?
00:14:22Yes.
00:14:24Washer and dryer in here, probably, like, a mud sink.
00:14:27I like that.
00:14:28I think that would be great.
00:14:30So we make it pretty, but also a little bit more functional.
00:14:32The laundry room in the office is like the appetizer, but the RV garage is like our main
00:14:37course.
00:14:38It's the entree.
00:14:39All right.
00:14:41I don't know about you, but this is the space that I'm the most excited about.
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:46We've been saving for a big move, and now is the time.
00:14:49Like, this is that move.
00:14:52Okay, so talk to me, Mina.
00:14:53It's Super Bowl time.
00:14:55I legit think this is how we win.
00:14:57I would love to get out of this another income suite back here.
00:15:02A sick apartment.
00:15:04Yeah, I like that.
00:15:05I like that.
00:15:06If, you know, we throw a bathroom, closet, laundry room on the back, kitchen down this
00:15:12run because it shares plumbing with, you know, the main ensuite, so we got that there.
00:15:17What if, instead of having it be like a studio, we loft a space for a bed?
00:15:24Yeah.
00:15:25We're going to have another 160 square feet above us, and that still leaves us room in
00:15:31the front.
00:15:31So let's wall it off and add a gym, and I think we fully separate the spaces.
00:15:36Wow.
00:15:37Yeah, Mina.
00:15:39It's why we've been so smart about where the rest of the money is, because this is going
00:15:43to take a big chunk, but I think it's going to have the biggest appraised value.
00:15:49Okay, so we've got this whole space, which is giant.
00:15:52We've got our laundry room.
00:15:53We've got our office.
00:15:54$60,000?
00:15:55Around $60,000.
00:15:55$60,000, okay.
00:15:56I think that's going to be our spend here.
00:15:57The income suite is our biggest chance at winning the whole appraised value, so it's
00:16:04a big deal for us.
00:16:05All right.
00:16:05Let's do it.
00:16:06Let's go.
00:16:24Okay, cabinets are going up.
00:16:27We'll have a bench.
00:16:28We'll have the lockers.
00:16:29Yep.
00:16:30Let's get this sink in here.
00:16:32Bring that in.
00:16:33I love an industrial sink.
00:16:34Yeah.
00:16:36I would love to have this in my laundry room.
00:16:39I do, too.
00:16:39I mean, I could bathe the dog in here.
00:16:41No kidding.
00:16:42I could bathe the kid in here.
00:16:43This is awesome.
00:16:45I think this is a little bit the granny panties of our house, if it's smoky sexy out there,
00:16:51but we'll throw a skirt on the sink.
00:16:53It's going to look great, but we don't have to worry about keeping it beautiful.
00:16:57I would appreciate that as a home buyer, to have one space that is not so done and feels
00:17:03dressy and too much, like a room that I don't have to care about everything.
00:17:08You know, just leave it all here and then go enjoy the elegant.
00:17:11Yeah.
00:17:12Yeah.
00:17:12All right, Drew, bring it in.
00:17:14Bring it in.
00:17:15Bring it in.
00:17:16I'm coming.
00:17:17You look way too happy on that thing.
00:17:21It's like, this is like my grown-up version of a go-kart.
00:17:25It's like a box of costumes, but it is a box of silks.
00:17:29This is about as Vegas as you can get.
00:17:31Silks are a tool that you can use to stretch and work out.
00:17:35You hang it from the ceiling and you can just lean in it.
00:17:38You can roll yourself up in it.
00:17:40You can stretch your legs out.
00:17:42I don't know.
00:17:43Everybody has weights.
00:17:44Everybody has a gym.
00:17:45I'm sure someone's doing pickleball.
00:17:47Look at the drama.
00:17:49Oh, the drama.
00:17:50The drama.
00:17:52This is going to be something very, very special and unique.
00:17:54And the judge is better to love it.
00:17:55We've got this.
00:17:57This is going to be so cool.
00:17:59It's such a feature that doesn't cost a lot of money,
00:18:01but it's going to be amazing.
00:18:03I've never been more concerned about my construction skills than right now.
00:18:06Oh, wait.
00:18:07You've got to go like this.
00:18:08Ha!
00:18:09Don't.
00:18:10I'm pretty graceful.
00:18:12I've danced my whole life.
00:18:14You won dancing competitions.
00:18:16I feel like this is perfect for Drew and I.
00:18:19I got too much.
00:18:20Oh, God.
00:18:21Are you serious?
00:18:23I have glasses in my pockets.
00:18:24Oh, no.
00:18:25I don't know how to get out of this thing.
00:18:29We've got three light options for our beautiful office.
00:18:34Do you have an office at home?
00:18:36Yes, I do, ma'am.
00:18:37What's your office look like?
00:18:39My office is like a music studio.
00:18:41Oh.
00:18:42It's nice and dark.
00:18:43I had an office like when we first moved in,
00:18:46but I always just end up working from like the kitchen island.
00:18:51I don't want to spend a ton of our budget here
00:18:53because we're spending so much in the other spaces this week,
00:18:56but we want to do enough to make it a little custom,
00:18:58a little beautiful.
00:18:59Maybe a nice chandelier.
00:19:01I like the look if it was three times bigger.
00:19:04Oh, my goodness.
00:19:07An office chandelier isn't a big spend,
00:19:09but given some of the feedback from the judges dinging us on creativity,
00:19:14we definitely want to put extra effort into these creative details
00:19:18that can make or break a space.
00:19:19I'll show you the vibe.
00:19:22The light fixture is going to be our statement piece,
00:19:25so I just want to make, you got it?
00:19:27Oh, no, you're too short.
00:19:28You got to raise it.
00:19:30There we go.
00:19:30There we go.
00:19:31What you think, Nina?
00:19:32It looks really pretty from this angle.
00:19:34Yeah, I think that's the one.
00:19:51We've got the RV garage.
00:19:53That's a big space.
00:19:54This is the biggest space we've done.
00:19:55It's big, tall, long.
00:19:56Even though previous teams have done pickleball courts,
00:19:59ours isn't just going to be a pickleball court.
00:20:02It's also going to be a basketball court.
00:20:04That's right.
00:20:05We're doing sports court.
00:20:06Scott.
00:20:07Brooke.
00:20:08I have a surprise for you.
00:20:10I know you don't like spending money,
00:20:12and I purposely didn't ask your permission
00:20:13because I really think you're going to like it.
00:20:15I really hope you do,
00:20:16and if you don't, I'm going to cry because it was $2,000.
00:20:23You ready?
00:20:26A scoreboard.
00:20:29Does it light up?
00:20:30It lights up.
00:20:31Like, this is a legit scoreboard.
00:20:34So picture this.
00:20:35Boom.
00:20:36Dead center on our court.
00:20:40It's huge.
00:20:41Oh, this thing is, did you steal this from a hockey arena?
00:20:44I flirted to get it, or maybe my husband flirted to get it.
00:20:48We will never know.
00:20:49The scoreboard is such an over-the-top addition to our pickleball slash basketball court,
00:20:54but it's unforgettable.
00:20:55It's creative.
00:20:57It's perfect for Vegas.
00:20:58I'm learning that more is more in this competition.
00:21:01The only thing I want to know is, does it work?
00:21:05Oh, we got something.
00:21:08Oh, we got a seven.
00:21:10We got something.
00:21:11Lucky number seven.
00:21:12Hey!
00:21:15I am so pumped right now.
00:21:18We have like a legit...
00:21:27Putting this hidden door to good use today.
00:21:30Right when you walk out of our hidden door from the primary closet, you are going to walk
00:21:35out into lockers for storage, which are a fun, creative way to add value as a built-in.
00:21:41Opposite of that, you're going to have a smoothie bar.
00:21:44Smoothie bar.
00:21:45With all the things that make us feel amazing first thing in the morning.
00:21:49Your blenders, your supplements, your vitamins, your collagen powder, your colostrum, your AG1.
00:21:56And this is super functional.
00:21:58And for kids playing sports or just your workout stuff, if you want to keep it all out in the
00:22:02lockers.
00:22:03The color of the cabinetry is a warm putty, very similar to what we used in the main bathroom.
00:22:09It's a wellness space.
00:22:10We want it to feel soothing.
00:22:11Easy on the eyes.
00:22:13Think Turkish bathhouse.
00:22:14Cool.
00:22:15It's going to look so good.
00:22:25The little gold accents are so pretty.
00:22:28Today, we're staining the ladder that is going to lead to the loft, which is the bedroom space.
00:22:33It's in the RV garage.
00:22:34It's really going to tie the room together.
00:22:36A little dip there.
00:22:38I mean, it is an interesting choice to put a ladder up there rather than putting up stairs,
00:22:41because stairs can be much more expensive to put in, right?
00:22:44Yeah.
00:22:44All the framing with the staircase, it would have taken up way more space.
00:22:48So definitely a better option of the two for this use.
00:22:51We're throwing the biggest money.
00:22:52We're taking the biggest risk because we understand that this is the space to do it.
00:22:56Appraisal-wise, and the fact that we're going to add a full bathroom, a full kitchen,
00:23:00and that it's an income suite, which is a huge value to any property.
00:23:04Come up here, because I want to see if you fit.
00:23:07Get your butt up here.
00:23:08We've got to do the morning test.
00:23:09So unless someone else is doing something like adding a casito,
00:23:13I don't know how we cannot win with this loft.
00:23:16I need you to stand up right all the way.
00:23:20You'll fit.
00:23:20Oh, you're right.
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:23Bed would be here.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:25Depending on the size, you're like, what, like 80, 84 inches.
00:23:28Okay.
00:23:28Glass railing?
00:23:29Yeah.
00:23:29So the handrail, that'll come across here.
00:23:32This is so cool.
00:23:34Oh, girl, what's wrong with you?
00:23:36What in the world?
00:23:37You weren't close.
00:23:49This is a pretty sweet-looking hot tub.
00:23:52I thought we were making wine.
00:23:53I thought we were putting I Love Lucy and grapes in there.
00:23:56I think that's a great idea.
00:23:57And if you want to go that route, I'm in, 100%.
00:24:00So we have this beautiful hot tub that we got for our RV garage.
00:24:03It is cedar.
00:24:05It is beautiful.
00:24:06Smells so good.
00:24:07It's just natural wood.
00:24:08It's not like some plastic shell.
00:24:10Because we don't have the budget to add any walls to the RV garage,
00:24:13I think making it a wellness spa and putting equipment in there
00:24:16it's going to lure the buyers.
00:24:18It adds value.
00:24:19It is actually the perfect way to go with what we have left for money.
00:24:22I think having this is really going to be a selling feature.
00:24:27You can go from the hot tub into the sauna, into Pilates, whatever.
00:24:32You do your stretches on your silks.
00:24:34Like, there's a lot of things happening in here because it's a massive space.
00:24:38We're going to make this wellness spa the hottest gym in town.
00:24:42Everybody's going to want a membership there,
00:24:43but no one's going to be able to get it unless they buy this house.
00:24:46It's fully assembled right now.
00:24:48Once there's water in it, it ain't moving.
00:24:51Let's just let this thing fill up,
00:24:53and then we'll come back and we'll check on it.
00:24:54All right.
00:25:05You want to holler?
00:25:06We got an F ready.
00:25:08Oh, oh, oh.
00:25:14Come on over, y'all.
00:25:16You saw me throw a little tailgate.
00:25:17Today was just supposed to be, you know, just everyone bonding.
00:25:20You're just talking about design.
00:25:24What they're doing with their RV garage.
00:25:26Renovation.
00:25:27The RV garage.
00:25:29Who wants a hot dog?
00:25:30I might be a burger, man.
00:25:31Oh, I'm like so happy right now.
00:25:34You're going to do a dog?
00:25:34I love a dog.
00:25:36Love a dog.
00:25:37I want to know what everyone's going to do when they win.
00:25:40Kim and I have said that if we win, we are going to get matching tattoos.
00:25:44I don't know why you brought this up, but I think before we go any further, Brooke and I already
00:25:49did this week one.
00:25:51I said, if we win this week, you can dress me up with it because we were in the closet.
00:25:55I'm like, you can dress me in anything here.
00:25:57And then we won.
00:25:59Wow.
00:26:01It's not my color.
00:26:02It is your color.
00:26:03It's gorgeous.
00:26:04And it will fit you just right.
00:26:06Scott, let's go, Scott.
00:26:07Scott, Scott, Scott.
00:26:10Is that a wrestling singlet?
00:26:12Wow.
00:26:13I hope y'all don't win anymore.
00:26:16Okay.
00:26:17I think I got to go home.
00:26:18Hold on.
00:26:19This is taking a weird turn.
00:26:21Please pull the slip down.
00:26:24Wait, what are you doing?
00:26:25What are you doing?
00:26:26We're going to do it right.
00:26:30Oh, no!
00:26:31Wait, what are you doing?
00:26:32What are you doing?
00:26:32We're going to do it right.
00:26:34Oh, no.
00:26:35That's too much.
00:26:36Oh, no.
00:26:38Good luck.
00:26:38That's a little too much candy.
00:26:41That's a little better.
00:26:42Hello, too much candy.
00:26:43I hear us.
00:26:44That's something that none of us can ever unsee, and he can never undo, and I'm so in love with
00:26:50it.
00:26:51This is what winning the block looks like.
00:26:53No regrets.
00:26:54Come on, Scott, I got to dip you.
00:26:55Come on, man.
00:26:56Come on, you got to go like this.
00:27:00Damn.
00:27:01I feel like we've definitely jumped the shark here.
00:27:04I think we should all just walk away and never talk about this again.
00:27:07That will live with him for the rest of his life, on camera, in all our phones, across the world.
00:27:14Where's my shirt?
00:27:16Where's my shoes?
00:27:18Where's my dance shoes?
00:27:19Go home!
00:27:32Check this out, Mita.
00:27:34Look at this.
00:27:35Look at all these different towels that I found.
00:27:39Look, I'm all about color.
00:27:41I'm all about putting different colors together.
00:27:42We have the blue-gray wall, we have the gray cabinets, and the kitchen will be perfect once
00:27:48we choose a towel for the backsplash.
00:27:50I mean, that one's okay.
00:27:53Like this.
00:27:55Like, that's a little stress-y, right?
00:27:56You definitely hate this.
00:27:58It just is busy on my eyes.
00:28:00I walked into the apartment, and I took charge.
00:28:03Mita didn't expect it.
00:28:04She looked at me, she's like, okay, I like what I'm getting here.
00:28:06Now, I saved the best for last, because I really love this.
00:28:10Okay.
00:28:10I know you're going to like it.
00:28:11I like the sage-y green.
00:28:13I feel like that fits most with, like, while still adding a little color, it fits most
00:28:17with the vibes of the rest of the house.
00:28:19I really like, like, the imperfect, like, the handmade look.
00:28:23This is the color, lime green.
00:28:25Then she said, yes, okay, I love this.
00:28:28Don't say lime green.
00:28:29People are going to think you're crazy.
00:28:30Not lime green.
00:28:30That's like sage.
00:28:31It's like a sage-y green.
00:28:33Wow, this is, this is really, really coming together.
00:28:36I'm really excited about this.
00:28:37I think the judges are going to like it, that it's not more of the same.
00:28:44After spending $2,000 on the scoreboard, we no longer have the budget for the Murphy bed.
00:28:49So we're going to have to pivot and do custom built-in bucks.
00:28:53That's okay, because we're still going to go balls to the wall in the RV garage.
00:29:01We have a very ambitious day ahead of us.
00:29:04We are going to cut 1,200 pickleballs in half.
00:29:08Then we are going to paste the wall, and we are going to strategically start placing them
00:29:12in a circular motion until we completely fill our feature wall.
00:29:17Okay, you start mudding.
00:29:19I'm going to start cutting.
00:29:20Okay.
00:29:21Yes, sir.
00:29:25Ooh.
00:29:26Ooh, I actually like this process.
00:29:29This process, as you people say, it's in Canadia.
00:29:33I'm not the best at math, but Scott seems to be great at it, to the point where he estimated
00:29:38that we needed 1,200 pickleballs, and that in half, I believe, is 2,400 halves.
00:29:43Yes.
00:29:43And if I had to put a couple seconds, 30 seconds on each ball, I feel like that would be
00:29:48like
00:29:4830 days.
00:29:49So I don't even know how we're going to do this.
00:29:51Oh my gosh, this looks so cool.
00:29:53I love our idea.
00:29:53This looks good.
00:29:54How can somebody not love this?
00:29:57Well, it depends who the judge is.
00:30:00If we have a fun judge, we are going to win this week.
00:30:03This is ridiculous.
00:30:04I really like it.
00:30:05I'll tell you something.
00:30:06I've never done this before.
00:30:20I wish I had a dog bathing station in my house.
00:30:23So this is going to be one of these luxury touches that makes this house feel like a home.
00:30:27This is built in.
00:30:28This is comfort.
00:30:29This is convenience.
00:30:30That is adding value.
00:30:31Drew, you got to come in here, please.
00:30:36What is that?
00:30:38That is a very good question.
00:30:43It's brand new.
00:30:45Yeah, I have no idea.
00:30:46I mean, this literally just got delivered.
00:30:48This is not like some secondhand hand-me-down.
00:30:52It's not even like full full.
00:30:54It's like brand new.
00:30:54Is it coming from the pipes?
00:30:57No, it is coming from the cracks.
00:31:00Drew, I don't know what to do.
00:31:01We don't even have time.
00:31:02Definitely don't have money to get a new one in here.
00:31:05Yeah, I just got to...
00:31:06Let me...
00:31:07Let me...
00:31:09So it says, allow the wood to swell by keeping it full of water for a few days to a
00:31:13few days to a few weeks.
00:31:14We do not have either of those.
00:31:16We can either keep it in here and just play up the fact and hope that it leaks less and
00:31:21we get towels and stuff.
00:31:23Or we drain it and get it out of here.
00:31:26So there's no way we're going to get a second win in a row with a leaky hot tub.
00:31:30We could still have the hot tub.
00:31:32It just doesn't have to be in the RV garage.
00:31:35What's wrong with a hot tub outside?
00:31:37We can put it in the backyard.
00:31:37I think that's a perfect solution.
00:31:40We'll put some comfy chairs there and it'll look so beautiful.
00:31:43We have so many cool features in here.
00:31:45I don't think losing a hot tub is going to make or break it.
00:31:48All right.
00:31:48All right?
00:31:49I'll arrange to get it out of here.
00:31:51Brooke?
00:31:52Yes?
00:31:53Got a canvas here.
00:31:55The teacher becoming the tot.
00:31:59I am nervous.
00:32:02We're making 3D art.
00:32:04Now, I'm going to get naked and you're going to draw a life-size version of me on the canvas.
00:32:09Just kidding.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:11Scott?
00:32:11Brooke?
00:32:12Hey!
00:32:13Hey, guys!
00:32:14We didn't expect to see you here.
00:32:15What are you doing in here?
00:32:16I'm literally just checking on you guys to make sure you're okay.
00:32:19What's going on?
00:32:20We're doing the Vegas landscape for our laundry room.
00:32:22I'm excited to see what you create.
00:32:24I mean, look, let's face it, Brooke.
00:32:26You're coming into your own.
00:32:28Like, this is your moment to shine.
00:32:29You've been through some things lately.
00:32:31Yes, sir.
00:32:32And so, life is one of those things where you just don't know what's coming around the
00:32:35corner and, like, you can't prepare yourself.
00:32:37You just have to leave.
00:32:38It's been a whirlwind.
00:32:38And it's kind of crazy because I decided to do this show before my dad passed.
00:32:43But it actually, I think God works in mysterious ways because this has been really positive and
00:32:48really healing for me.
00:32:50Rock the Block is, like, kind of my fresh start.
00:32:52And it's also my chance to forge my own way as a designer.
00:32:56Here's what I know about this show.
00:32:58Whoever is involved in it, you come out of this on the other side with confidence knowing
00:33:03if you can do this, you can do anything.
00:33:06Sometimes throwing yourself into work and throwing yourself into something creative,
00:33:10it heals your soul.
00:33:11So this has been a really healing, cool journey for me.
00:33:15Our family's been through a lot.
00:33:16But no matter what we've been through, I love my dad.
00:33:20But we started to not agree on things.
00:33:22And I was worried for him.
00:33:24And he said something to the extent of, like, well, I guess you have to live your life and
00:33:27I have to live mine.
00:33:28And it hurt.
00:33:29And I think the only reason why I'm not crying now is because I'm all cried out.
00:33:33This past year has been like a rebirth.
00:33:37You know, it's cool to be back doing TV, doing artistic stuff, doing my design stuff,
00:33:43and actually, like, being the real me.
00:33:45I'm going to leave you to create your masterpiece.
00:33:48But I'm glad you guys are doing well.
00:33:49And it sounds like therapy is really going well, guys.
00:33:52This, if you need to cry, if you need to laugh, or you need to be silly, this is the
00:33:57house you
00:33:57want to be in.
00:33:58This is the house.
00:34:01Oh, my 40-year-old knees.
00:34:04I'm starting at the bottom.
00:34:05Okay, that's great.
00:34:08We're in our bathhouse wellness space.
00:34:10We have a modular infrared sauna that came, ready to be assembled.
00:34:16And then adding the cold plunge, the shower, the gym.
00:34:19This is a major value add to have all this right off your bedroom.
00:34:25Maybe we could have done an ADU back here, but I don't think the buyer is going to get
00:34:30excited about another bedroom in this multimillion-dollar house.
00:34:34I would much rather have spa-like things in the garage.
00:34:39Fits.
00:34:40Perfect.
00:34:41And then in the back of the RV garage, where it connects to the backyard, kind of a Turkish
00:34:47bathhouse vibe with a cold plunge.
00:34:49I was going to paint the whole thing the putty color that we've been using throughout the
00:34:53house, but Chelsea came in and was like, this bathhouse needs to be dark.
00:34:56Because I'm imagining steam coming out of the shower and all that.
00:35:00It needs to be dark.
00:35:01So it is going to be this deepest black-green.
00:35:04It's smoky.
00:35:05Sexy.
00:35:06It is.
00:35:07It is.
00:35:08We can't help it.
00:35:09I firmly believe you can never have enough storage.
00:35:13So I think these floating shelves combined with these is huge.
00:35:19Because especially with kids, these guys on the bottom, we've got some drawers.
00:35:23And then...
00:35:26Ooh, for the clues.
00:35:27Four hampers.
00:35:29Nice.
00:35:29Right by the laundry room.
00:35:31Nice.
00:35:31We needed that.
00:35:32Love that.
00:35:32And then this is all deep enough to be coat closet.
00:35:37Lisa Vanderpump's criticism towards our primary suite was we should have utilized the space
00:35:43better along the curve.
00:35:45So we're going to make the best possible use of all the space we have.
00:35:48You want to start with putting some rods up?
00:35:50Yeah, let's do it.
00:35:51Where?
00:35:51Let's see.
00:35:52I don't see rods.
00:35:52Right there, silly Billy.
00:35:54Those are long.
00:35:55How are we going to put those in there?
00:35:56Well, we're going to cut them.
00:35:57What?
00:35:57Easy.
00:35:58How are we going to cut the rods?
00:35:59You can't hurt yourself with that little guy.
00:36:01What do you mean?
00:36:02Hacksaw.
00:36:02To cut the rod?
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:05There you go.
00:36:05Right there.
00:36:08And now just do that for three minutes.
00:36:11I feel like I'm at the dentist.
00:36:14Can't we get a machine and just cut it?
00:36:15Why we got to do it this way?
00:36:16What kind of machine?
00:36:17Like a saw.
00:36:19Can't you use a saw to cut this?
00:36:21Yeah, I just wanted to see how long I could get you to do it.
00:36:23Oh my gosh.
00:36:24You play too much, Mina.
00:36:26Mina, you play way too much.
00:36:27I knew that was impossible.
00:36:29I was cutting for at least two minutes for her to tell me that I got you.
00:36:33I mean, you can cut it with the hacksaw.
00:36:36It just takes a lot longer.
00:36:42There we go.
00:36:42There we go.
00:36:43Choo!
00:36:57It's epoxied.
00:37:03It's denim blue.
00:37:09Last night overnight, the epoxy went down in our RV garage to give us our pickleball court.
00:37:15It's a big upgrade because now that floor is considered finished.
00:37:20And that's about the only good thing I can say about it.
00:37:22When we left last night, what did you say to the epoxy guys?
00:37:26I said, make sure it's a light, sandy color.
00:37:29And this is what we got, denim blue.
00:37:32When this whole place is supposed to look like beautiful white, gym, sandy, the beautiful tambour color, like this ruins
00:37:40it.
00:37:40Are you mad because it's not what you said or are you mad because you don't like it?
00:37:44Both.
00:37:45Those are both great reasons to be mad.
00:37:48I would never pick an ugly blue floor for a beautiful, light-colored gym.
00:37:51I'm going insane.
00:37:53This was overly ambitious to begin with.
00:37:55So I'm going to say, like, who cares?
00:37:59We need to move on.
00:38:00Is this the hill you want to die on?
00:38:05How are you so cool, mister?
00:38:07I'm not cool.
00:38:08The cabinets look like plywood?
00:38:09I am out of energy.
00:38:10I just have to get all this stuff up.
00:38:12If you can get them to come back and change the color, I will delay the line painting until tomorrow.
00:38:18We'll just do everything last night.
00:38:19But if they aren't doing it tonight, it's not getting done.
00:38:21And you're just going to show up tomorrow and you're going to get what you get and you're not going
00:38:25to get upset.
00:38:26Okay, I'll call them now.
00:38:27Because I'm just going to start on everything else.
00:38:29Okay, I'm going to call them.
00:38:29If we don't win this week, I give up.
00:38:32If this guy doesn't come and change this color this week or right now today, I'm going to lose my
00:38:38balls.
00:38:41Yeah, so the problem is it's not the right color.
00:38:45This is not our fault.
00:38:46And as a business, if it were me as a business owner, I would make it right.
00:38:51Yes, it needs to be done today.
00:38:52They need to come right now.
00:38:54Okay, thank you.
00:38:55Please tell them to hurry.
00:38:57Good job.
00:38:58We got it.
00:39:16We just so happen to have a crew member here on set that has a dog that needs a bath.
00:39:21While we have this beautiful design element of our dog washing station, we need to make sure that it actually
00:39:26works.
00:39:26Oh, my goodness.
00:39:27Oh, my goodness.
00:39:28Let's see how it works.
00:39:29Let's test this out.
00:39:30Let's see.
00:39:31Penny, are you ready for a bath?
00:39:33There we go.
00:39:34Oh, that's a good girl, Penny.
00:39:35What a little.
00:39:35Oh, my gosh.
00:39:36She's so soft.
00:39:37You're such a good girl.
00:39:39Well, this is nice.
00:39:40It's nice and spacious.
00:39:41Works perfect.
00:39:42You're such a good girl, aren't you?
00:39:43Oh, such a good girl.
00:39:45I thought she loves it.
00:39:46Such a good girl.
00:39:47The dog washing station works like a charm.
00:39:49I think we're going to win.
00:39:50Dog tested, penny approved.
00:39:53Anyone who has a dog would love this.
00:39:55And even if you don't have a dog, you can have dirty boots like we have.
00:39:59Clean them off.
00:39:59Rinse them off.
00:40:00Yes.
00:40:01Mission accomplished.
00:40:04I am sewing the skirt to go around our sink in the laundry room because we are pinching pennies.
00:40:10It is at the point in the competition where we really have to be smart when it comes to spending.
00:40:14And we're having to do a lot of things ourselves.
00:40:17Oh, this is where you are.
00:40:19Look at me go.
00:40:19You've been so busy.
00:40:22I mean, I'm starting to think I am so talented.
00:40:26I think you're so full of yourself.
00:40:28I am.
00:40:30Here's what I love about the skirt.
00:40:31It's weird.
00:40:32It doesn't match anything.
00:40:34It feels like it was your grandmother's curtains and we repurposed it.
00:40:37And I love that about it.
00:40:39I do think that with that big industrial sink, that this kind of softens it.
00:40:44It gives a little feminine touch.
00:40:47I love it.
00:40:48I do too.
00:40:49Thank you for sewing.
00:40:50Can you sew faster?
00:40:51Oh, wow.
00:40:52Really?
00:40:54We've got two of our guys working on installing this glass railing, which is beautiful.
00:40:59We're getting the bed frame up before this last panel's up so we have a little bit more room.
00:41:04It's all hands on deck.
00:41:06This is our Everest.
00:41:07A little baby steps.
00:41:09A little baby steps.
00:41:10A little baby steps.
00:41:10Can you take bigger baby steps?
00:41:12Well, I can.
00:41:13My size 14s.
00:41:15Today we're going to put in the bathroom vanity.
00:41:17I picked it sight unseen online and the color of it could not match the wall color more perfectly.
00:41:23And then we're going to have our pops of brass that, against all that, are just really going
00:41:27to hit.
00:41:27Oh!
00:41:28You got it?
00:41:29This is gorgeous.
00:41:30Our handles are all this really pretty brass.
00:41:35This is a perfect apartment.
00:41:37We added a whole bathroom, a whole kitchen, a whole income suite.
00:41:41I think so.
00:41:42I feel good about it, too.
00:41:43This is how we win it.
00:41:45Let's do it.
00:41:46Go.
00:41:46Let's do it.
00:41:47Wrong way, Vernon.
00:41:48Oh.
00:41:49I fought.
00:41:53That's genius.
00:41:54I'm going to bang my head on this cabinet.
00:41:56They're too deep.
00:41:57I need a place for storage, but there's nowhere to put anything.
00:41:59I am so impressed by what's going on in here.
00:42:13Yes, yes.
00:42:14Come on, come on.
00:42:19I've seen us the first one.
00:42:21Come on.
00:42:22Oh!
00:42:24Jackpot!
00:42:24Those are ours!
00:42:26Those are ours!
00:42:27Oh!
00:42:28They got pickleball.
00:42:30Look.
00:42:30They got pickleball.
00:42:31They don't know.
00:42:34I think we have the same rug.
00:42:35We have the same rug.
00:42:37Watch this.
00:42:38Oh!
00:42:39Oh!
00:42:39Oh!
00:42:39We lost!
00:42:40We have the same one!
00:42:42You lost, Scott.
00:42:44The beginning of this week, the RV garage terrified me.
00:42:48I had no idea what we were going to do with it.
00:42:50Seeing it transformed unexpectedly, it might even be my favorite space in the house.
00:42:55We've made it feel as much as an extension of the house as possible.
00:43:00Do you know the judges are almost here?
00:43:02Let's go!
00:43:03We're pinching pennies, but I feel really good about our spaces.
00:43:08We've got a ton of features that are going to add value to the appraisal, aside from it just being
00:43:12a beautiful wellness center.
00:43:14We have everything covered.
00:43:16Even silks.
00:43:18Scott, we have an hour to do three spaces, so giddy up, Horsey.
00:43:21So, like, that's 20 minutes of space, and if we did 10 minutes of space, I could sleep for half
00:43:25an hour.
00:43:26Drag, you...
00:43:26This isn't just so you can park your RV in there.
00:43:30This is pickleball court.
00:43:32Pickleball court.
00:43:33Basketball court.
00:43:33Basketball court.
00:43:35RV garage.
00:43:36RV garage.
00:43:37Movie theater.
00:43:38Movie theater.
00:43:39That is our winning RV garage.
00:43:42Bernie?
00:43:43Yeah?
00:43:43If we don't win this week, I don't know if we're ever going to win by then.
00:43:47Oh, stop it.
00:43:48We waited until week five to bring everything to the table, and Mina and I want to get a win.
00:43:51We know we can do it.
00:43:52We believe in ourselves.
00:43:53You can't out-design the added value of the RV apartment.
00:43:57We're a dangerous combination together.
00:43:59This is it.
00:44:01Hurry up, Mina.
00:44:02Drew, we have, like, one minute.
00:44:05The judges are almost here.
00:44:07Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
00:44:09Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:13Let's go.
00:44:14Let's go.
00:44:19Hello there.
00:44:21Hello.
00:44:22Hi.
00:44:22Luanne de Lesseps.
00:44:24Welcome to The Blonde.
00:44:26Part of the original Real Housewives of New York City.
00:44:30Luanne de Lesseps designs have been featured in major magazines.
00:44:34She's also an author and a singer, bringing her show Countess Cabaret to cities around the world.
00:44:40Today, you're going to judge some serious design work.
00:44:43I'm excited.
00:44:44This past week, our teams have been focused on designing the office, laundry room, and RV garage.
00:44:51You'll be judging blind, which means you won't know which teams you're judging.
00:44:55Okay.
00:44:55There are three things you're looking for.
00:44:57Overall design, added value, and creativity.
00:45:01Mm-hmm.
00:45:01Shall we get started?
00:45:02Yeah, let's go.
00:45:02All right.
00:45:05Pulled right through there.
00:45:06All right.
00:45:07This is the office.
00:45:09Wow.
00:45:10Look at this.
00:45:17I like the warmth.
00:45:19It's cozy.
00:45:19I love the color on the walls.
00:45:22Very masculine.
00:45:23I like the cabinetry.
00:45:25I love the countertops.
00:45:28The original floor plan, there's a closet here.
00:45:31The team removed the closet to have more space for the office.
00:45:35Absolutely.
00:45:36Great idea.
00:45:37Yeah?
00:45:38You don't need more closets?
00:45:39No.
00:45:39With all this cabinetry?
00:45:40Well, this is from the team.
00:45:42Smoky, sexy, added value, the home spa with a built-in sauna.
00:45:48Yeah.
00:45:49Now you're talking.
00:45:50Yeah.
00:45:51Creativity, hidden door into the spa.
00:45:55I like that.
00:45:56Let's go check out the laundry room.
00:45:57Let's go find out if they've got what you need.
00:46:00Wow.
00:46:01Okay.
00:46:06Well, this is an impressive laundry room.
00:46:08I really like it.
00:46:09Good folding space here.
00:46:10Right.
00:46:11I love the really thick countertops.
00:46:13Mm-hmm.
00:46:13That looks rich.
00:46:15Tons of storage.
00:46:16The only thing I did see here is that I'm going to bang my head on this cabinet.
00:46:20Mm-hmm.
00:46:20They're too deep.
00:46:21Mm-hmm.
00:46:22And you can't reach all the way in the back to get what you want in any case.
00:46:26Right.
00:46:26So they don't need to be this deep.
00:46:28I love a big sink.
00:46:29I think it's a good laundry room.
00:46:30I like it.
00:46:31Should we check out the RV garage?
00:46:33I can't wait.
00:46:36Okay.
00:46:36Ladies first.
00:46:37Here we go.
00:46:38Aw, you're such a gentleman.
00:46:39I do try.
00:46:40Wow.
00:46:49I love that they transformed this garage into a gym slash spa, which is a great idea.
00:46:56True.
00:46:57Got a little bar here with little snacks.
00:46:59Tons of storage.
00:47:00Oh, my God.
00:47:01Is that a sauna?
00:47:03Wow.
00:47:05Yeah.
00:47:05Incredible.
00:47:06A sauna?
00:47:07Look at that.
00:47:07Look at that huge shower over here.
00:47:12Is that a hot tub?
00:47:16Oh, it's a cold plunge.
00:47:19Cold plunge makes sense.
00:47:20Very healthy.
00:47:21I love the cedar.
00:47:22Look at that.
00:47:23Right?
00:47:23Beautiful.
00:47:24This is a win for me.
00:47:25This is definitely going to add some value.
00:47:28I did not expect this.
00:47:30But the spa is everything.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:32I love a spa.
00:47:33Do you like the dark, deep green?
00:47:35I do like it because it's cozy.
00:47:37It makes it warm.
00:47:38You know, if this was white, it would feel like a RV garage.
00:47:41I would do something with the floors.
00:47:44Walking around barefoot on concrete floors.
00:47:46Mmm, right.
00:47:48Still would look great here.
00:47:49I'm impressed, honestly.
00:47:50I'm really impressed with this.
00:47:53Is that a door?
00:47:54That is not the door we came in.
00:47:56This door goes somewhere else.
00:47:57Where does this go?
00:48:00Oh, wow.
00:48:01Straight to the dressing room.
00:48:03That's genius.
00:48:05I think what they did with this, making the spa, is genius.
00:48:08Yeah, I agree.
00:48:10Should we go check out the next house?
00:48:11Maybe we come back after we go see the other house.
00:48:13Right?
00:48:13We may need to.
00:48:20All right.
00:48:22Oh.
00:48:22Wow.
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:24Oh, I'm digging this.
00:48:30I love this because it's super cozy.
00:48:33Modern light fixture, which I love.
00:48:35I love that the ceilings are light.
00:48:36And I love the dark wood and the built-ins and the walls that are black sea grass.
00:48:42It's super cool.
00:48:44It feels like wallpaper.
00:48:45It feels a little tight in here.
00:48:47Hmm.
00:48:48I get the added value for the closet, but maybe it didn't have to be so big.
00:48:53Let's see what they had to say.
00:48:55Livable Luxe.
00:48:56Luxury living from a five-star retreat and a new age wellness center with a dog spa.
00:49:02Overall, love it.
00:49:04I think they did a great job.
00:49:05I just find it a little bit claustrophobic.
00:49:09Well, I guess we're going to have to go and see the laundry room.
00:49:11Let's do it.
00:49:12Okay.
00:49:13Wow.
00:49:17This is totally different.
00:49:19The cabinetry is great.
00:49:20I like that you can sit down.
00:49:22You have a lot of storage.
00:49:24Because, you know, do we really want to look at products for laundry?
00:49:26No.
00:49:27You know, it's not attractive.
00:49:28This is a custom dog washing station.
00:49:31Right.
00:49:32But what if you don't have a pet?
00:49:33Well, it could be for your children.
00:49:35It does feel like a dog spa more than a laundry.
00:49:38Because, look, now we have no folding space.
00:49:40Where do you fold your laundry?
00:49:41I believe this is where the stackable is.
00:49:44Yes, you are correct.
00:49:45Yes, we do like that.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47I like that it's hidden.
00:49:48It's nice to have a concealed laundry area.
00:49:50Yeah.
00:49:50That I really like.
00:49:51Let's go see the RV garage.
00:49:53Awesome.
00:49:54Let's do it.
00:49:54Can't wait.
00:49:55I mean, the last one was super cool.
00:49:58This is the RV garage.
00:50:01Oh, wow.
00:50:12Oh, this is really Vegas style, isn't it?
00:50:16Look at this.
00:50:17Health and wellness.
00:50:19Wow.
00:50:19All over the place.
00:50:20I know.
00:50:20I love that.
00:50:21I love everything in here.
00:50:22I love the reformers.
00:50:23Talk to us.
00:50:24Floors are great.
00:50:25Yeah, we've got tile instead of concrete.
00:50:27Yeah, it sure beats the concrete.
00:50:29This is really a nice touch.
00:50:30I love that.
00:50:31A smaller but infrared sauna.
00:50:33Yeah, but infrared is really good.
00:50:35I love that.
00:50:36Tell me about this.
00:50:37It's a sensory deprivation tank.
00:50:39Wow.
00:50:39So you're in that moment of peers in and relaxation.
00:50:41Wow.
00:50:42I'm all about it.
00:50:43I really love the vibe in here.
00:50:44I love the light walls, the floors, comfy chairs.
00:50:48Yeah.
00:50:51There's a lot going on in this room.
00:50:52Is it a little too busy in here?
00:50:56So are you ready to see the next house?
00:50:58Absolutely.
00:50:59I mean, I am so impressed by what's going on in here.
00:51:01I mean.
00:51:02Unbelievable.
00:51:03It's going to be hard to choose the winner.
00:51:04It really is.
00:51:08All right.
00:51:09A little contrast going on.
00:51:12Oh, wow.
00:51:18All right.
00:51:19So this is the office scenario.
00:51:27They converted this into a bedroom.
00:51:29Into a bedroom.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:31Well, I'm soaking it in.
00:51:33Built-in bunks, which is added value, which is perfect.
00:51:37I think it's great use of space.
00:51:39If you have children, you've got the desk covered.
00:51:41You know, for a kid's room, I would prefer something a little more colorful and fun than black.
00:51:46Kind of like the thing that's on trend right now.
00:51:48But I feel like it's a kid's room.
00:51:50It should be a little bit more light and playful.
00:51:52Okay.
00:51:53In my opinion.
00:51:53Let's look at the card.
00:51:55Modern hacienda.
00:51:56Multi-use, recreational space for pickleball movies or an RV.
00:52:01Wow.
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:02With this situation, you're tied into it being a bedroom, right?
00:52:07So you can't really use it as an office because of the built-in.
00:52:09That's a drawback for somebody that doesn't have kids and needs actually a real office.
00:52:14Let's check out the laundry room.
00:52:15Let's do it.
00:52:16You know, I'm a big fan of the laundry room.
00:52:19Wow.
00:52:20Look at this.
00:52:20This is very kind of Aspen-ish, isn't it?
00:52:25I like the use of space.
00:52:27I like all the shelves.
00:52:28And there's plenty of storage.
00:52:30And I like the light colors.
00:52:31You know, it's nice and bright and cheery.
00:52:34I think it's great.
00:52:35I love it.
00:52:35I do love the thick countertops.
00:52:37And I love the light material.
00:52:39You know, getting away from black everywhere.
00:52:42You've got room to do your folding.
00:52:45Finally a place to fold clothes, which is great.
00:52:47It's nice to have hanging and laundry.
00:52:49Let's check out the RV garage.
00:52:51Let's do it.
00:52:52I cannot wait to see what they've done with this garage.
00:52:54Oh, you're going to like this.
00:52:58The RV garage.
00:53:01Wow.
00:53:02Come on in.
00:53:07Incredible.
00:53:09Wow.
00:53:10This is definitely how my brothers would have liked to have grown up.
00:53:15This is great.
00:53:17I mean, and this house with the bedroom for the kids, you know, it makes sense that they
00:53:21would go this direction.
00:53:22The floors are amazing.
00:53:24Basketball.
00:53:25Scoreboard.
00:53:26I mean, wow.
00:53:27I know.
00:53:28This is awesome.
00:53:29If you're a family and you're looking for recreational space for the kids, this is awesome.
00:53:34You could play pickleball inside because it gets hot here.
00:53:38I love this.
00:53:39That's pretty impressive.
00:53:40This is super fun.
00:53:40Without this, I think it would be flat.
00:53:43This makes it pop.
00:53:43They get an A-plus for creative design, that's for sure.
00:53:46They also installed a movie projector.
00:53:49Oh, no way.
00:53:50Movie room as well.
00:53:52You just need a big comfy couch and it's movie time.
00:53:55I think because you have that big screen, you need a place where you can hang to watch
00:53:57a movie.
00:53:58That's a good point.
00:53:58Because this isn't going to do it.
00:53:59That's really a big con for me.
00:54:01Otherwise, I love it.
00:54:02I think it's great.
00:54:03Well, let's go check out the last house.
00:54:05All right.
00:54:05One more to go.
00:54:06That's it.
00:54:07Let's do it.
00:54:08I'm excited.
00:54:08Everything has been so interesting and so different.
00:54:20Oh, now this is my kind of office.
00:54:26Nice and bright and cheery.
00:54:28I love the light fixture.
00:54:30And I love this.
00:54:31The arch, yeah.
00:54:32Yeah, the arch looks really good.
00:54:34I could work in here.
00:54:35I'd like to see some cabinets now.
00:54:37You need a place for storage.
00:54:39There's nowhere to put anything.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:42Shall we take a look at the card?
00:54:44All right.
00:54:44Comfortable, elegant.
00:54:45Yes, yes.
00:54:46Love it already.
00:54:47Design.
00:54:48Short-term rental with full kitchen, bath, laundry, and a loft.
00:54:52Okay.
00:54:53Can't wait to see that.
00:54:54This is an elegant office.
00:54:57I like it.
00:54:58So this is the laundry room.
00:55:02Wow.
00:55:03Okay.
00:55:08I love the countertops.
00:55:09I love all the space.
00:55:11You got your folding area.
00:55:12I love it.
00:55:12You see how these are recessed?
00:55:14So you have place.
00:55:15Yep.
00:55:15And so you can fold things.
00:55:17So this is where I was talking about, like, a lot of cabinetry.
00:55:19So they even put sheets and wet, drippy coats from outside if it's raining.
00:55:25Ah!
00:55:25Is this the closet?
00:55:26Yeah, there we go.
00:55:27Oh, wow.
00:55:27Look at that.
00:55:28I don't know what you do with this.
00:55:30I mean, what is that useful for?
00:55:31It's of new use, really.
00:55:33I don't know.
00:55:33I feel like I would have made the laundry room bigger and skipped that closet.
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:37The little hidden back entrance.
00:55:39Right?
00:55:43Wow, this is a lot smaller than all the other ones.
00:55:45Yeah.
00:55:46Where are you going to put the RV?
00:55:48Why is it so much smaller than the other ones?
00:55:50Look at this.
00:55:52We've got a hidden door.
00:55:54A hidden door.
00:55:54What's in here?
00:55:56That.
00:55:57Oh, no kidding.
00:55:58What?
00:55:59Look at this.
00:56:00Wow.
00:56:08It's a whole apartment.
00:56:10Full kitchen.
00:56:12Full bath.
00:56:13Wow.
00:56:13You could be totally independent in here.
00:56:16It's stylish.
00:56:17I love what they picked in terms of fixtures and the tile work.
00:56:21I love that they did the arch.
00:56:22It really gives it that extra something special.
00:56:26Let me check this out.
00:56:28Look at this.
00:56:30I mean.
00:56:31Wow.
00:56:32You've literally.
00:56:33Oh, look at that.
00:56:33And I'm tall.
00:56:34Wow.
00:56:35I can stand here.
00:56:36Custom glass railing.
00:56:38Wow.
00:56:39It's beautiful.
00:56:39The fact that they were able to put a real loft bedroom.
00:56:43I know that you could stand up.
00:56:45I was sure when I went up there.
00:56:47Yeah.
00:56:47I would not be able to stand up.
00:56:49A lot of kids have moved back home.
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:51I mean, although for the elderly, that's.
00:56:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:54That's going to be a rock.
00:56:54That's more for a millennial.
00:56:55Yeah, yeah, millennial.
00:56:56But added value?
00:56:58Oh, for sure.
00:56:59This is a big added value.
00:57:02Now that you've seen them all.
00:57:04Mm-hmm.
00:57:04Sit down for a second.
00:57:06Okay.
00:57:07We have to decide.
00:57:08Well, you really have to decide.
00:57:11See you soon.
00:57:12See you later.
00:57:14This is not easy because they all had.
00:57:17Well, actually, you know it when you see it.
00:57:20Just like love.
00:57:22You know it when you see it.
00:57:23I think I made my decision.
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:32Good afternoon, everybody.
00:57:34We have arrived at the end of another week.
00:57:37Thank goodness.
00:57:38Congratulations.
00:57:39You've made it this far.
00:57:42This week, you got to prove you could do it all.
00:57:47Office, laundry, and RV garage.
00:57:50So I thought it only fitting we bring in a judge
00:57:52who knows a thing or two about multitasking.
00:57:55This person is a singer, TV personality, designer, a cabaret queen.
00:58:01What?
00:58:02What?
00:58:02She's known from coast to coast as the Countess.
00:58:06Ah!
00:58:08And when it comes to taste, she's never off-key.
00:58:12Please welcome, Luanne de Lisept.
00:58:20Welcome.
00:58:22So I just want to say what an honor it is to have you with us here, Luanne.
00:58:26Oh, thank you.
00:58:27The honor is mine.
00:58:28I had so much fun.
00:58:29I mean, you guys really did a great job.
00:58:31You should be so proud of yourselves.
00:58:32Really awesome.
00:58:34This envelope has your final decision, yes?
00:58:36Yes, it does.
00:58:37Very exciting.
00:58:38Please talk us through your feelings in each house.
00:58:41I think we started with...
00:58:43Smoky Sexy.
00:58:44Smoky Sexy.
00:58:45The office, I liked the space because it was a big space.
00:58:49So that was really positive because you took the closet out.
00:58:52The laundry room was great, too, because there was a place where you can fold stuff.
00:58:56And then I loved the RV garage.
00:58:58And the spa was incredible.
00:59:01Loved that.
00:59:01I loved the sauna, the cold plunge, which is great.
00:59:06The floor, I would have liked other than concrete, like something more polished.
00:59:10But otherwise, you really creatively made it something where I want to spend the day.
00:59:16So that was really super cool what you did with that room.
00:59:19Which team did Livable Lux?
00:59:21It was this.
00:59:22That space was amazing.
00:59:23I loved the office.
00:59:24I loved the black and the wood mixed together.
00:59:26But the problem was the closet made it feel a little small.
00:59:29We wanted to keep it so that it could still be a bedroom if somebody wanted to convert it back
00:59:34to a bedroom.
00:59:35I totally get that.
00:59:36And the laundry, that was with the big dog spa.
00:59:39Oh, that's cool.
00:59:40I loved the idea because it was so creative.
00:59:42I got to tell you, the Livable Lux, that RV space that you guys did was just incredible.
00:59:48I loved the floors.
00:59:49I loved the infrared sauna.
00:59:51And I thought you did a great job with that as well, with the RV garage.
00:59:54Really creative and beautiful.
00:59:57Who did the modern hacienda?
01:00:00That would be us.
01:00:01First of all, I loved the laundry room because it had everything I wanted.
01:00:04When I walked into the RV garage.
01:00:07We put it all on the wall for you.
01:00:09I mean, so much fun.
01:00:11And the office.
01:00:12Oh, the bunk beds.
01:00:13What?
01:00:14But you can't take it out, right?
01:00:16So if you want to convert that space, you can't really convert it into an office, for example.
01:00:21Right.
01:00:21Comfortable elegance.
01:00:23Must be you guys, right?
01:00:25Last ones left.
01:00:26I loved the office because it was light and bright.
01:00:29Super comfortable.
01:00:31The laundry area was perfection.
01:00:33I didn't understand that closet.
01:00:35Although I feel like I could put my hats on all those shelves.
01:00:39The RV garage.
01:00:41That studio apartment, which is awesome.
01:00:44I thought it was really creative and unbelievable how you managed to make that garage look fabulous.
01:00:54And it's a great added value because, you know, you have all that living space.
01:00:57The bathroom was gorgeous.
01:00:59Bathroom?
01:01:00I mean, I really loved that studio apartment.
01:01:03I thought it was really brilliant.
01:01:04I loved that it was so creative and really beautiful and comfortable.
01:01:09The only thing or problem with that for me is that ladder.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:12So, you know, for somebody older getting up that ladder, I would think like a spiral staircase or something like
01:01:18that would look really fabulous there.
01:01:20But, I mean, overall, I think you guys did such a great job.
01:01:24Thanks so much, Luann.
01:01:25I think it's time.
01:01:26Shall we reveal the winner?
01:01:28Yes, let's do it.
01:01:29So remember, if you win, there's $3,000 to be spent on the following week's design.
01:01:35Thanks to the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card.
01:01:38Or add $1,000 to your final appraisal in the grand finale.
01:01:43All right.
01:01:45And the winner of the Office Laundry and RV Garage is...
01:02:21Meena, how does it feel to finally win on the block?
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:26Eight years coming.
01:02:28Yes.
01:02:28Feels good.
01:02:29Hey, Vern, how are you feeling, buddy?
01:02:31You're on fire.
01:02:32I don't know what to say.
01:02:33I feel good, man.
01:02:34Come on.
01:02:35Meena and Vern, I just want to say it was really that added value of that studio permit that really
01:02:40put it over the top for me.
01:02:41I'm especially happy for Meena because I know I have much sweat and tears.
01:02:46I haven't won anything ever, so it's a big deal.
01:02:48She just put so much into this. I mean, just watching her.
01:02:50It's a great feeling. I'm glad. I have a win under my belt. We have won as a team. And
01:02:55now we just focus on the big win.
01:02:57So I'm happy for her. I'm happy for us.
01:03:00So congratulations, Meena and Vernon. Will you choose to take the $3,000 toward next week's design or add $1
01:03:08,000 to your final appraisal?
01:03:11We're going to take that cash.
01:03:12Come get you.
01:03:15Go get it.
01:03:16Go get it.
01:03:17Congratulations.
01:03:19Well done, well done.
01:03:21Oh, the one we worked the hardest on.
01:03:25This is it. We haven't put more work into any other space.
01:03:28We put so many pickleballs up. We stayed till 2 in the morning.
01:03:33Kind of feels like we got kicked in the pickleballs.
01:03:37Congratulations, Meena and Vernon.
01:03:39Hey.
01:03:39Good job. You too.
01:03:41Can you believe it? We only have two more weeks to the grand finale.
01:03:46Oh, goodness.
01:03:48Let's do this.
01:03:49I'll see you tomorrow for your penultimate challenge.
01:03:53See you tomorrow.
01:03:54Get some rest.
01:03:55Good job, you two.
01:03:56Congratulations.
01:04:02Next time on Rock the Block, we're moving on to the backyard.
01:04:07Bring it on.
01:04:08It's like a little swimming pool addition to the backyard.
01:04:10I'm so pumped.
01:04:12Scott, those are other people's trees.
01:04:14They're ours now.
01:04:14Don't underestimate the Canadians. We're a frosty bunch.
01:04:17This is a lot of pieces.
01:04:19It's the worst part of this process, isn't it?
01:04:21Whoa.
01:04:21Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
01:04:23Hopefully, it's a judge that loves football.
01:04:25Two-time Super Bowl winning champion.
01:04:28What?
01:04:28Danny Amendola.
01:04:33This is an awesome vibe. I feel like I'm in Palm Springs.
01:04:36They missed an opportunity to amplify this space.
01:04:39You want to see something functional.
01:04:41That's a big time with the
01:04:41signal.
01:04:41You got to know.
