The Block

S08:E40 - Episode 40

Tonight the teams begin their most difficult week. They have a week to complete their studies and stairwells. Plus Tim and Anastasia have a retreat and a media room to complete. The teams are all daunted by the workload and the organising needed to get the work done. Scotty, Dan and Keith talk about the chain of events that must take place this week. He checks on progress with all the teams and finds that everyone is overwhelmed by the work load this week. He gives Tim and Anastasia a big pep talk to get them through the week. The teams go to HQ to meet Scotty and Shelley and find out what the buyers advocates think of their kitchens. Greville, Frank and Nicole were looking forward to seeing the completed kitchens and their scores combined with the jury will decide on a winner. The winning team will take home $5000 cash from the Good Guys as well as a home computer and two lap tops plus printer. All up the prize is worth $10,000. Charlotte and Josh’s kitchen gets mixed responses from the buyers advocates who think that the space is too small. Dea thinks the ovens are too big. Tim and Anastasia’s kitchen gets a big tick from the buyers - Greville says its very sophisticated. Dea and Darren can’t believe that they were beaten by a dishwasher that doesn’t open. Charlotte noticed that nothing was completed. Nicole said that the couple need to finish their room properly. Dea doesn’t like the range hood but she does like the servery out to the terrace. In Tim and Anastasia’s kitchen the buyers advocates like all the finishes and choices, including the butlers pantry and the island bench. Greville likes the open shelving but Frank says they should have had a closed in pantry. Dea thinks they haven’t got a big enough pantry. Nicole thinks they’ve taken too much space from the living space. Josh and Charlotte really like Dea and Darren’s kitchen and think that the judges have scored them too harshly. All the other teams agree. Greville thinks Dea and Darren’s kitchen is a dream kitchen. Nicole thinks its classic and modern, but they need to do some work on the butlers pantry to get it right. Charlotte and Josh - T & A 0, A & J 0, D & D 7 Buyers 22.5 = 29.5. Tim and Anastasia - T & A 10, A & J 10, D & D 6 Buyers 20.5 = 46.5. Ayden and Jess - C & J 1.5, T & A 0, D & D 1.5 Buyers 25.5 = 28.5. Dea and Daz - C & J 1.5, T & A 0, A & J 0 Buyers 28 = 29.5. So the teams have been strategic in supporting Tim and Anastasia but the buyers advocates scored Dea and Darren the highest. The boys leave HQ but the girls stay. Scotty tells them that Neale Whitaker will be arriving in Melbourne tomorrow to take the ladies to lunch, to talk design and enjoy an afternoon together. They meet at designer David Hicks’ home for a tour of his amazing apartment.
