The Block

S08:E11 - Episode 11

Its the last working day before reveal of the bedrooms, a big day for the All Stars because only one couple will stay on The Block. Dea supervises the wallpaper going up for the second time. Ayden installs the floorboards himself, he wants Jess out of the room until the end of the day. Matt and Kim have had their floors laid on a diagonal and they’re happy with the results. Bec and George take delivery of some custom made bedside tables. Foreboy Dan tells one of the curtain installers that he must leave because he’s not had the safety induction, as all trades and contractors have to have. Matt is left to hang the curtains himself. Anastasia goes to Mitre 10 to choose the perfect white for her room. The rooms begin to take shape as dressing begins. Matt doesn’t love their room, Josh is confident and Tim decides to leave the styling entirely to Anastasia. Jess and Ayden need to paint and Jess is tired and emotional. Bec think they’ve got a good chance of winning the room. The teams head to HQ to get their feedback from Scotty. Darren Palmer, Neale Whitaker and John McGrath are the judges tonight. Scotty updates them on the newbies and the All Stars. Josh and Charlotte are first up. Neale loves the bedside table and so does Darren but they think its too big. Neale doesn’t like the artwork for this room, its too young and not sophisticated enough. Darren doesn’t like the wardrobe doors and the all white scheme, saying its too harsh and clinical. Neale likes their elimination rooms better than this room. Next up is Tim and Anastasia and first impressions aren’t good. While they do like the home automation, there’s nothing else they like. The cat on the window sill doesn’t impress. The cat was meant to be a bit of a joke and a running theme throughout their apartment but it doesn’t go down with the judges. They're not sure what kind of room the couple have tried to create. Ayden and Jess’s room has soul, according to Neale. John thinks the room will appeal to the buyers and they all like the bedhead and the rug. They all agree that nine cushions are too many for the bed, and Darren doesn’t like the flooring choice. The scores are in and Ayden and Jess win the first room. They’re very happy with the win, and will take home $10,000 to continue their renovating. Josho and Charlotte - Darren 7, John 7, Neale 7 = 21. Tim and Anastasia - Darren 6, John 6, Neale 6.5 = 18.5. Jess and Ayden - Darren 7, John 7, Neale 75 = 21.5. The All Stars are next up and the competition hits a whole new level with the standard improving and impressing all the judges. All the teams want to stay but there’s only from for one team. The judges find it hard to make a decision and they don’t want to see anyone go home. Scotty tells the teams he doesn’t want to tell two teams they’re going home, he’s been dreading this moment and he’d like to see them all competing on The Block.
