The Block

S08:E05 - Episode 5

There are four teams remaining to fight it out. They must renovate their bathrooms in 72 hours. The team that scores the lowest with the judges will be the final team to be eliminated and the remaining three will win the right to move into The Block. Its been a big few days and they’re all finding it hard to get out of bed. First thing to do is inspect each other’s completed living and dining rooms. Then its straight to work on their bathrooms. Ayden and Jess know what they’re doing and have planned elaborate patterned tiles. Charlotte is a bit worried as she knows nothing about bathrooms so she and Josh head out shopping. Tim and Anastasia get some bad news from the fore boy Dan about waterproofing standards, but three out of four couples have the same problem. Luke isn’t aware of the Victorian rules about bathroom certification. He’ll need his waterproofer to get on board straight away. Lucky Ayden is on hand to give his advice to Luke. Ayden goes shopping for bathroom fittings with Jess and Ayden wants to choose everything in about five minutes. Josh chooses everything for their bathroom, Charlotte knows nothing about bathroom fittings so leaves all the decision making to Josh. Jess tells Ayden she wants a timber shower base and Ayden says he’ll make it for her. Tim and Anastasia decide they need a point of difference for the bathroom. They decide on underfloor heating, and they want to keep it a secret from the other teams. Ebony and Luke decide on vertical subway tiles for their point of difference. Keith keeps a close eye on progress with Dan and Keith is worried about Ayden and Jess. They’re going to need a renderer to get started as soon as possible on their walls. Choices are limited for the teams when they shop at Reece because all their basins need to have an overflow as there is no floor waste in any of the bathrooms. Ebony and Luke have plenty of issues too with their bathroom needing bricking up, rendering and sealing. And they can’t put their shower head in the ceiling which means they’ll have to choose another shower head. The teams work through the night waterproofing their bathrooms. Tim and Anastasia’s waterproofer agrees to helps out Ayden and Jess when they’ve finished their work for T and A. But Tim doesn’t like it and asks the waterproofer not to work for anyone else. Jess and Ayden think Tim is being a bit harsh.
