The Block

S08:É23 - S08:E23 - Episode 23

Its reveal day for the laundries, powder rooms and cellars. Ayden stayed up all night getting their rooms finished. Dea hasn’t slept, she’s happy with their cellar that Darren designed. Josh is stressing and is struggling to get the job done. Josh and Charlotte have filled their wine bottles with water so that they could afford to fill their cellar with bottles of something! Ayden and Jess have spent around $500 on wine for the cellar but the All Stars Dea and Darren thought they could borrow wine and return it after reveal. Dea has since learnt that the wine is worth $5000 retail and that the supplier will give it to them for $3000. Dea is hoping to negotiate for $2,500. Daz doesn’t like that idea. Dea will have to talk Darren into it, but Darren only wants to spend $1000 on wine. If they only spend $1000 on wine, the D’s will have to take a good few bottles out of the cellar before reveal. Tim is still asleep but Anastasia needs him up to help her out with some jobs for reveal. All the teams complete their rooms and they head to Scotty’s HQ for feedback and judging. Josh and Charlotte are first up. The judges like their powder room, its simple and elegant. They like the basin and the taps. In the laundry, Shaynna likes the laminate in the laundry and Neale thinks there’s everything you’d like. In the cellar they like the lighting, the wine fridge and Neale likes the storage room. In Tim and Anastasia’s room, the judges are impressed with how far the couple have come. They all like the finishes in the laundry and powder room. They’re very impressed with the climate controlled cellar, and Shaynna loves the wine storage. Ayden and Jess’s powder room gets a tick from the judges, they all like the ceiling light, saying it looks like a skylight. In the laundry, they like the timber and the different choice of splash back tiles. In the cellar Darrren hates the bench and stools, but Neale likes the room and the idea of the bench and stools. Darren calls it a step back into the mid 90’s and Shaynna says its not luxurious enough. Dea and Darren’s powder room wows the judges. They love the consistency, the tiles and the styling on the shelf. In the laundry Shaynna is very excited about the laundry shute that Neale discovers. They also like the small storage room next door. The wine cellar impresses all the judges, they can’t believe the quality of the room. But Shaynna thinks its not a proper wine cellar without climate control. Charlotte and Josh - Darren 9, Shaynna 9, Neale 9 = 27. Tim and Anastasia - Darren 9, Shaynna 9, Neale 9 = 27. Ayden and Jess - Darren 7.5, Shaynna 8, Neale 7.5 = 23. Dea and Darren - Darren 9, Shaynna 9, Neale 9.5 = 27.5. D and D take out the win by half a point. Charlotte and Josh tied second and really want a room win!
