The Block

S08:É44 - S08:E44 - Episode 44

This week is terrace week for the contestants but they must also finish their studies and staircases. Ayden and Jess were the only couple to complete their rooms last night and after they took out the win, but they still have a lot to do. All the teams get busy with their terraces and the facade of the building is prepped for its finish. Josh and Charlotte are very organised with a list of jobs that need completing this week. She gives their electrician his list of things to finish in the next seven days. Darren gets some help from Keith about the footings for his deck. Darren should have employed an engineer to give his decking plans the once over but hasn’t. Luckily for Darren, a few photos of the progress will be enough for the engineer to give the OK, which means the deck can continue without delay. The teams head to HQ to hear from the buyers advocates and see how their fellow blockheads scored their rooms. In Josh and Charlotte’s apartment, the buyers advocates like the glass balustrading. Greville thought that the shutters went too far down under the desk, and Tim and Anastasia agreed with this. Dea was impressed with the desk size. In Tim and Anastasia’s apartment didn’t get a great response, as they haven’t finished. Nicole thinks they’ve got a great opportunity and Frank says it has been one of his favourite apartments, but he’s disappointed that the rooms are so incomplete. Frank thinks that their first media room should be a bedroom and that the couple has missed out on a great opportunity. Greville thinks that the two media rooms are identical and says that his buyers will walk straight back out. Nicole says make a media room into a bedroom, the current bedroom into a retreat and so something with the wardrobe. Anastasia is frustrated at what the buyers advocates are suggesting, they have no money to do any of the work being suggested. In Ayden and Jess’s apartment the buyers love the finished product. Nicole thinks they’re really listening to what the market is telling them. Dea thinks the chairs in the retreat are uncomfortable. Charlotte and Josho - T and A 0, A and J 5, D and D 0, Buyers 21.5 = Total 26.5. Tim and Anastasia - C and J 1.5, A and J 5, D and D 0, Buyers 11.5 = Total 18. Ayden and Jess - C and J 10, T and A 10, D and D 0, Buyers 27 = Total 47. Dea and Darren - C and J 1.5, T and A 0, A and J 5, Buyers 15 = Total 21.5. So Ayden and Jess take out the win, taking home the $5000 prize from The Good Guys, as well as two infrared wall heaters for their terrace.
