The Block

S08:É16 - S08:E16 - Episode 16

Tonight the teams being work on their second bedrooms, and the start of a new day means its hard for some teams to get out of bed. Dea has gone to see Darren in hospital, he’s got double pneumonia. Their builder Andy has taken over supervising their build. Ayden and Jess are sleeping in, they even sleep through the usual morning wake up from the producers. Tim and Anastasia know they need to bring their best for the second bedroom, especially after their disastrous efforts in the first bedroom. Anastasia has chosen seagrass wallpaper again, despite what Dea thinks. Ayden and Jess aren’t feeling confident this week and their second bedroom is very small, due to the fact they took space from this room for their separate toilet last week. Jess isn’t sure exactly what she wants and Carpet Court arrive bright and early for a decision on this week’s flooring. Charlotte and Josh are also planning something special. They haven’t won any rooms yet so they’re hoping for a win this week. Josh is doing the lighting plan and this week they’re aiming for a relaxed beach look but Charlotte is struggling with a colour scheme for the room, especially the carpet and window furnishings. Dan gets in and helps out Josh, doing his best bricklaying. Andy can’t get in touch with Dea - he needs her to make some decisions on the layout of the second bedroom. There’s plenty of demolition going on, Josh has a wall in the middle of his second bedroom but the adjacent wall has been completed recently and this means Josh can’t demolish the wall he needs to get started in the bedroom. Keith and Dan are holding Josh up and the brick layers have gone home. Dea arrives back on site and she has a plan, and her and Andy get measuring. The teams head to HQ and meet Scotty and Shelley. They hear what the buyers advocates think of the renovations so far, they’ve scored the rooms. These scores will be combined with each others scores and the winning team will be determined, taking home $5000 cash and a bonus prize every week. This week its a Dyson pack worth $1700. The buyers advocates go through all the completed bathrooms and they’re impressed with the results. They don’t agree with the judges on all the rooms, favouring Ayden and Jess’s bathroom. But Dea and Darren are the overall winners once again, taking out the $5000 win. Anastasia and Tim aren’t happy with the judges comments not being the same as the buyers advocates. They’re confused about the mixed messages and aren’t sure who to listen to. Anastasia feels the pressure and hasn’t been feeling herself. Forty Winks opens especially for the teams so that some of the teams can choose their bedding. Jess receives an invitation to meet Neale Whitaker in Sydney for some mentoring at some of his favourite shops.
