In Sunday nights episode of The Block, after three longs months, it’s finally all over for our contestants as they finish their houses.
Scotty calls “tools down,” one more time. It’s front yard and façade reveals today.
Everyone gathers in the cul-de-sac and after such a tough journey, including the most drama we have either seen on The Block, it’s now time to smile. Are they now friends?
It’s time to take in what they have all completed, five incredible houses that will go to auction on Bronte Court, Hampton.
Everyone, even Tanya and Vito, who were the main players in the cheating scandal, don’t regret a single thing of their journey.
It is revealed right at the end of the episode that Josh and Luke have one last secret to tell. It’s their time to tell their truth.
For one last time, it’s time for the judges.
Ronnie and Georgia: The married couple from Perth have already won the Domain Open For Inspections leader board. Darren, Shaynna and Neale noted the Colorbond façade of their house, and Darren pointed out it makes a very strong statement. Looking back from the street the façade is modern and elegant. As for the yard, Shaynna was a little bit surprised how exposed it is to the front door, you can see right down to the kitchen. She thought the garden was beautiful but not that inviting. The beehive was an example of cutting-edge urban planning. Overall, though, an incredible effort for Ronnie and Georgia.
Mitch and Mark: A stunning end for Mitch and Mark. The judges couldn’t wipe the smiles of their faces. Shaynna said she now understands the layout of the house for the boys, what they have done with the front garden makes sense. Most importantly with things like the trampoline and the cubby house it’s a place where kids can play, and adults can watch in a beautiful environment. After so much criticism from the judges, Mitch and Mark can hardly believe it. They end The Block on a positive note.
Tanya and Vito: The brick fence was exactly the right choice for the house, spot on for the 1950s vibe. Shaynna was surprised they chose the same plants they used at the back. She loved the front garden and the cricket pitch, but she worried there was no barrier where children can play unsupervised. Shaynna felt there should have been better choices of plants for the house. They do all think Tanya and Vito had done a great job with the house and it will be a dream home for the right buyer.
Josh and Luke: Darren noted after last week’s disaster, the boys needed a comeback and they came back strong. This is a great effort, but as always with the twins, there is a big ‘but’. The judges couldn’t understand the mist white brick calling it rustic and something that didn’t fit in with the overall theme of the house. Luke was furious, he believes it’s an insult to their star landscaper Myles Baldwin. He says the brick is on trend and the judges don’t know what they are talking about. They also questioned the layout of the courtyard to the side of the indoor/outdoor bathroom. It should have been closed off to the street. Once again, Josh and Luke are furious.
Kirsty and Jesse: The biggest front yard on The Block, and wow it is impressive. The judges for the first time noticed the massive tree. What a grand entrance. They noted the kids playing area. It is selling the family dream as much as Mitch and Mark across the road. They did think they needed to frost the front door as like Ronnie and Georgia, you can see right down to the end of the house from the street. Neale said an incredible comment at the end, he thinks Kirsty and Jesse might have made the best ever house on The Block. Obviously they are delighted.
After so much hate directed at the judges, Mitch and Mark take the win.
