The Block

S08:É19 - S08:E19 - Episode 19

Tonight the teams complete their second bedrooms. They head to Scotty’s HQ to hear feedback from the judges. It’s their third room and they still have seven rooms to go! Josh and Charlotte and Tim and Anastasia are the two teams that haven’t won a room. The pressure is on for these two teams to win a room. Dea and Darren won the challenge, with some help from Dan. They have also won the power of the chalk and can take a point off one team. They decide to take a point off Tim and Anastasia. Shaynna, Neale and Darren judged the rooms. First they look at Josh and Charlotte’s room. Shaynna doesn’t like the unmade bed but Darren loves it. Neale loves the colour palette and Charlotte didn’t want to change her palette to fit in the Jimmy Possum bed head. So now they’ll be forced to use it in their master bedroom which Charlotte isn’t keen on. Shaynna loves the lighting plan and thinks they’ve got their confidence back, but the paint work on the windows is terrible. Tim and Anastasia’s room is next for judging. Darren was blown away by the use of the grass cloth wallpaper, he’s not sure what to make of the use of the wallpaper in two apartments. Anastasia has replicated Darren’s mentor room. The couple has taken a lot of Darren’s elements for their room and Anastasia’s been busy reading Darren’s book. All three judges love the room, especially the perfect finish on the window frames. Ayden and Jess’s room doesn't impress the judges as much as Tim and Anastasia’s room. Darren likes the flooring, Shaynna likes the rug but they all think the room is too stark and white. Neale likes the pendant lights that he helped Jess choose, but the lights are hung too high. The bed head is the challenge bed head and this changed the focal point of the room. The wardrobe is too small and the bedside tables are too big. Dea and Darren’s room causes controversy when Neale loves whole room, especially the leopard print bed head but Shaynna hates it. Darren agrees with Neale. Shaynna also hates the wall lights and the judges continue to disagree, so much so that Shaynna questions Neale’s taste. The scores are added up and the winners are Tim and Anastasia - they’re thrilled to win their first room! Tim and Anastasia - Darren 9, Shaynna, 9, Neale 9 (-1) = 26. Darren and Dea - Darren 9, Shyanna 7.5, Neale 9 = 25.5. Josh and Charlotte - Darren 8.5, Shaynna 8, Neale 8 = 24.5. Ayden and Jess - Darren 8, Shaynna 7, Neale 7.5 = 22.5. Scotty tells the teams that they’ll be renovating their laundries, cellars, and powder rooms. Scotty’s saying two rooms, the teams are saying three!
