The Block

S08:E21 - Episode 21

The three room week continues, but today is the last day for the teams to adjust their kitchen plans. Some of the teams want to move their kitchens so today is the day to do this. Jess and Ayden took their tradesmen out for dinner and the three of them all stayed the night - three of them in the same bed. Dea and Darren have the smallest apartment so to even it up they’re getting an extension that will become their dining roo. Today, the extension is happening, and their flooring and walls will be done by tomorrow. Tim and Anastasia have a secret weapon this week. Some people think it is a stereo, but it’s a room conditioner, keeping your wine at the perfect temperature. Dea and Darren have an argument about the taps in their powder room. She’s chosen wall hung taps but the wall they’re going in is structural and they don’t want to chase the wall out for taps. Dea says she already had the all clear from Darren but he and the tradesmen don’t remember. The people at Reece tell Dea to drill a hole into the vanity that they already have! A win for Dea, who organised the whole thing. A new day and the teams head outside to discover a random well on the footpath. The teams head to Mentone for a charity challenge. They meet the CEO of Make a Wish Australia and Scotty and discover that, around the world, every 22 minutes a wish is granted. Today the teams are meeting two fans of the block, Casper and Caitlyn, who have both survived childhood cancer. Their wish is to have a bedroom makeover. The teams are divided into two. Apartments one and two are team Casper, and teams three and four are team Caitlyn. Each team has $6000 and six hours to complete the challenge. The winning team will get $6000 to split and the chalk for judging, they’ll be able to take a point of one team at Scotty’s HQ. As an extra challenge Scotty tells the teams they’ll have to make over two extra rooms, one each for Casper’s and Caitlyn’s siblings! The teams get to work. Casper wants bunk bed with a spiral staircase. They find one on Gumtree but have to drive all the Sassafras, on the other side of Melbourne. Josh tells them they’ll be there to pick the bed up within the hour. But he and Tim shop for paint and hardware then Tim heads to collect the bed with just three hours before the room is due. Josh is left on his own to paint while Anastasia and Charlotte go shopping. Team Caitlyn is going well, Ayden and Darren working well together. Michael and Carlene arrive with their two children to judge the completed rooms. They choose team Casper. Tim and Anastasia and Josh and Charlotte share in the $6000 prize and the power of the chalk at the next HQ.
