The Block

T08:C35 - S08:E35 - Episode 35

The race is on to finish the master bedrooms and dressing rooms. Ayden and Jess have had very little money for the room this week, using mostly vouchers supplied by Scotty at the beginning of the series. Josh has been painting his enormous bedroom. Charlotte is painting over their exposed rafters. Dan and Keith are both impressed with the paint job, calling it one of the best bedrooms they’ve ever seen. Dea goes shopping for their bedroom items at Forty Winks. At Scotty’s HQ the teams walk in to discover that Scotty has a gavel this week! He’s going to rule on the wine audit and his decision and judgement is final. Tim puts his case forward and Darren puts his and Dea’s case forward, he does like being accused of cheating. Scotty’s findings have revealed that the retail cost of the wine in Dea and Darren’s cellar was $5,226. Block law states that the contestants can negotiate up to 50% off the recommended retail price which would be $2,663. Dea and Darren spent $3000 so Scotty rules in favour of the defendants. Dea and Darren want to move on. The teams receive their feedback. Josh and Charlotte’s bedroom impresses all three judges, even the painting gets a tick! They all love the exposed beams and think Josh and Charlotte will be hard to beat. They also love the walk in wardrobe, Shaynna especially loves the practicality. In Tim and Anastasia’s bedroom, Shaynna loves the colour choices. Neale likes their gentle and romantic room, saying they’ve grown in confidence. Darren thinks its very saleable but too similar to the previous bedrooms presented by Tim and Anastasia. The judges are divided on the wardrobe doors that open to the walk in dressing room. Neale doesn’t like the laminate, he feels like he’s in a shop. In Jess and Ayden’s apartment, Neale loves the main bedroom and Shaynna feels it’s a younger version of Tim and Anastasia’s apartment. Darren doesn't like the room and thinks it feels more like a second bedroom, not a master bedroom. Neale loves it and wouldn’t change a thing! Dea and Darren are next up, the final room to be judged. The judges all love it, Neale says they’ve nailed it, Darren loves the navy wallpaper. They also like the dressing room, but think it’s a little rough around the edges. Scotty announces that since Josh and Charlotte haven’t put their Jimmy Possum challenge bedhead in their apartments, they’ll be disqualified from judging this week. No one can believe it, they all feel that the punishment of disqualification is very harsh. Ayden and Jess take a point off Dea and Darren once again, after their challenge win this week. Charlotte and Josh - Darren 10, Shaynna 10, Neale 10 = 30. Tim and Anastasia - Darren 8, Shyanna 8.5, Neale 8 = 24.5. Ayden and Jess - Darren 7.5, Shaynna 8, Neale 9 = 24.5. Dea and Darren - Darren 9.5, Shaynna 9, Neale 9.5 (-1) = 27. It’s a huge shock for everyone that Josh and Charlotte receive a perfect 30 out of 30 and they don’t win the $10,000. Dea and Darren win by default but no one is really celebrating.
