The Block

Tonight its the start of kitchen week and there’s plenty for everyone to do, they all know the kitchen is probably the most important room in the house to get right. Ayden and Jess need access to their new kitchen area. Dea and Darren’s kitchen build has been delayed due to a flood in the area. The building’s roof hasn’t been sealed in time, so water has seeped through the ceiling and the floors need replacing. Josh and Charlotte are struggling with their budget this week. They’ve spent a third of their entire budget on the living and dining room and Charlotte is ringing around to try and organise to return items that they no longer need. Tim and Anastasia have a problem with their kitchen. Their original design features wall mounted cupboards that cover up north facing windows. The Good Guys have made the couple a back up kitchen, based on one of the original discarded designs. The back up design doesn’t cover up the windows. Now Tim and Anastasia have to decide which kitchen they want to have installed. The Good Guys tell the couple that the second design is the best option, so that the windows aren’t blocked up. Tim and Anastasia ask Julian the architect for his opinion. Josh and Charlotte’s kitchen layout is pretty simple. With no butlers pantry, their design is simple and straight forward, they just need to find the money to pay for it. Jess and Ayden want their air-conditioning ducting moved so that they have a bigger thoroughfare from their terrace through their kitchen. Their air-conditioning tradesman isn’t happy! Dea and Darren argue about their kitchen design. Darren hasn’t listened to Dea or been involved in the planning of the kitchen. Darren has built the bulk heads in the wrong size and it doesn’t suit Dea’s plan for the air-conditioning. Tim and Anastasia decide to go with the suggestion from The Good Guys, and change their kitchen design so that the windows aren’t covered up. The teams head to HQ to hear the jury and buyers advocates scores. Darren and Dea are very impressed with Josh and Charlotte’s master bedroom. Ayden and Jess also love the master suite, Jess thinks it’s the best apartment! Tim doesn’t think the finishes are great, and doesn’t think that they deserved three tens! Ayden doesn’t like the dressing room. In Tim and Anastasia’s master bedroom, buyers advocate Nicole thinks that the room is a bit pedestrian and not good enough for a master. She also didn’t like the walk in, two way wardrobe. In Ayden and Jess’s room, it was obvious to the buyers advocates that the couple have run out of money. They also don’t like the artwork or the choice of rug. The other teams like Jess and Ayden’s room, especially considering they’ve paid for the room largely on vouchers. The buyers advocates also think that there isn’t enough storage in the room. Dea and Darren’s room gets good marks from all the teams. The buyers advocates love the room too. But they don’t like the finishes. The walk in dressing room also gets good marks. The buyers score Josh and Charlotte the highest for the master bedroom, with 26 out of 30. Dea and Darren are second with 24.5 out of 30. Ayden and Jess score 20.5 and Tim and Anastasia score 19.5. Charlotte and Josh - T and A 10, A and J 10, D and D 10 = Total 56. Tim and Anastasia - C and J 5, A and J 0, D and D 5 = Total 29.5. Ayden and Jess - C and J 5, T and A 0, D and D 7 = Total 32.5. Dea and Darren - C and J 5, T and A 0, A and J 1.5 = Total 31. So Josh and Charlotte take out the win, very strategically, with everyone scoring them 10!
