The Block

S08:E24 - Episode 24

The teams get started on living and dining room week. There’s plenty to do and they are first areas that buyers see as they enter the apartments. Ayden and Jess need a win and so do Josh and Charlotte, who haven’t yet had a room win. They’re planning on a fireplace with cabinetry surround. Josh and Charlotte are also planning a fireplace. Anastasia goes shopping for high end items for the living dining room. She gets the go-ahead to spend $20,000 on furniture alone! Dea and Darren’s dining room ceiling height is in question. They’ve swapped their kitchen and dining room around on their floor plan and the ceiling heights in the two rooms are different. In the kitchen it can be as low as 2.1 metres. In the dining room, two-thirds of the room needs to have a height of 2.4 m. Dan tells Darren he’ll need to put different bulkheads in to make his best attempt at most of the room being 2.4 metres. The Blockheads go to HQ to get feedback from the judges and the buyers jury. The prize is $5000 cash plus a 78 inch curved LED TV, valued at around $10,000. The buyers advocates didn’t love the cellar in Josh and Charlotte’s apartment, saying it wasn’t big enough. They love the cellar and powder room in Tim and Anastasia’s apartment. They also scored points for the washer/dryer combination. In Ayden and Jess’s apartment the buyers advocates liked the tiles, Josh called them “bling bling”. But in the cellar they felt like the room was missing something. In the laundry the buyers advocates loved the air dryer. Ayden had never heard of one, being from Queensland. Dea and Darren’s cellar gets a big wow for the buyers advocates. They are very impressed with the quality and all the wine of course. Tim and Anastasia think it should have a wine conditioner. Ayden wants a wine audit to find out how much the wine cost Dea and Darren. Charlotte and Josh - T and A 5, A and J 8, D and D 8.5, Buyers 20.5 = 42. Tim and Anastasia - C and J 8, A and J 8, D and D 9, Buyers 25.5 = 50.5. Ayden and Jess - C and J 7, T and A 6, D and D 8.5, Buyers 23 = 44.5. Dea and Daz - C and J 2, T and A 5, Ayden and Jess 1.5, Buyers 26.5 = 35. So Tim and Anastasia take out the jury win.
