The Block

S08:E18 - Episode 18

The teams wake up the morning after their challenge in their brand new Jimmy Possum beds in Bendigo. Its Dea’s birthday and Ayden surprises her with a cake. The teams all head back to the Block and Anastasia and Dea drive back in the same car, and after all the wallpaper talk, there’s not much discussion in the car! Anastasia is forced to re-think their bedroom design now that they have to use their Jimmy Possum bed. Darren arrives back on site and he’s pleased with all the progress that Andy has made. Keith and Dan help Darren out by lifting his mattress delivery up to the apartment. Scotty and Shelley have a look at all the progress so far. Scotty says he doesn’t like Jess’s choice of artwork, saying it looks like dirty wet render! Josh and Charlotte have their shutters installed and Scotty loves their rendered walls. They’re not putting their challenge bed into their room this week. Darren and Dea show Shelley a photo of their completed bed head and the leopard print is a surprise for Shelley. The $5000 cash prize will help with their room design this week, they’ve got high end finishes everywhere. Tim and Anastasia have re-designed their room, and there will be seagrass wallpaper. Tim gets busy painting but decides not to paint all night. With just 24 hours before reveal everyone has plenty of painting to do. There are fiddly window frames to paint this week and Anastasia has a brilliant idea of finding out if their paint can be applied using a spray can. The wallpaper goes up in Deanne’s room and Anastasia waits for her wallpaper to arrive from Queensland. Darren’s carpet layers arrive but they clash with the wallpaper installers. The wallpaper installer isn’t happy but he lets the carpet go in first even though he’s already set up and ready to go. Ayden and Jess’s furniture arrives for their bedroom and Ayden loves the bedside tables. Jess isn’t happy about the redness of the timber. Charlotte does her very best painting, she’s hoping to impress the judges. But Anastasia’s spray can idea has been a stroke of genius! They’re turning an eight hour job into a one hour job! Keith and Dan are impressed. They need to seal their walls before the wallpaper can go on but Tim didn’t know this so now the wallpaper installer will be delayed. He also tells them they won’t have enough wallpaper for all their walls. They decide to paint some of the walls and wallpaper the rest.
