The Block

S08:E43 - Episode 43

Tonight there’s a huge push to the end for all the teams. Josh and Charlotte’s tradesmen are putting in a huge effort to try and complete their terraces. Tim and Anastasia’s tradesmen are also working hard. Dea and Darren are not happy with their staircase. The risers don’t fit and the stairs are uneven and they are worried they wont’ finish on time. Ayden and Jess’s apartment is progressing well but Tim and Anastasia’s builder Gordy is really sick and has to leave the site to rest. Keith isn’t happy that Gordy has fallen ill, he thinks its because Tim and Anastasia aren’t trying hard enough. Keith and Dan confront the couple about their project management. Dan thinks they wasted too much time with indecision early in the week and should be further along than they are now. Keith thinks they should be working harder but Tim and Anastasia can’t believe what they’re hearing. Tim’s stairs will only be half completed for reveal. Tradesmen were coming up and down the stairs all week which means that the stairs can’t be laid. This means they can only deliver their retreats and study. At the eleventh hour they realise they can’t get the furniture up the stairs through the scaffolding. Dea and Darren can’t finish their study either. The built in shelving that they had planned for the space don’t fit. At Scotty’s HQ the mood is a little flat because of all the incomplete work. Josh and Charlotte are first up for judging. They’ve had a huge week and despite thinking they wouldn’t finish, Josh has made a huge push to the finish line. They didn’t finish the painting but most of the rooms are complete. After a disappointing first impression, the judges are happy with the study area and the shutters. Tim and Anastasia are next up and none of the judges are happy. They’ve gone from bad to worse and Darren thinks it is due to bad management. The cinema room is worse and Shaynna calls them idiots. Darren thinks that they should have made their media room another bedroom and then they’d be the only apartment that is a four bedroom apartment. Shaynna wants to know what they’ve been doing this week and calls it the worst room reveal they’ve ever seen. In Ayden and Jess’s apartment, the judges are impressed. The detail impresses Neale and Shaynna and Darren loves the strong statement that the couple have created. They all love the study and the light fittings. Neale thinks the light fittings are amazing. Dea and Darren’s apartment isn’t finished and the judges wish that it was complete. They’re all disappointed and Darren spots that the levels are incomplete and wrong. He sees that something has gone wrong with installation. They love the pendants but think they’re too low and the study also disappoints. Shaynna doesn’t like the orientation of the desk. Charlotte and Josh - Darren 6, Shaynna 6, Neale 7 = Total 19. Tim and Anastasia - Darren 2, Shaynna 3, Neale 3 = Total 8. Ayden and Jess - Darren 9.5, Shaynna 9.5, Neale 10 = Total 28. Dea and Darren - Darren 6, Shaynna 3, Neale 6 = Total 15. Tim and Anastasia have scored the lowest scores in the history of The Block but Ayden and Jess are so happy that they’ve won and that they scored a 10 from Neale.
