It’s Monday morning on Week 3 and things are rather frosty at the sharehouse.
Jolene is especially “salty” about losing to House 4 by just one point last night, especially because of all the last-minute help Courtney and Sev wrangled from other teams’ trades.
Mood. Nine
We’re in luck, though, because this makes for a juicy Open for Inspections!
Rick and Tayla feel hard done by when they realise they only scored one point more than Lisa and Rosco, despite House 3 completing … well, literally nothing beyond waterproofing.
Everyone agrees House 1’s space is swiiiish before heading to the $53,000 winning space, where it gets a little shady.
“That is an absolute dog’s breakfast,” Jolene says of their paintwork and finishing.
The girls didn’t 100 per cent finish, which only leaves the runner-ups feeling even more hard done by.
“I feel like an unfinished room shouldn’t be allowed to win,” Wyatt concurs.
After that savage review, everyone gets stuck into their plans to beat Courtney and Sev in Main Bedroom Week.
From curves to bed heads to fireplaces, it’s all go. For everyone but House 2.
While Chantel is working hard on finalising her plans, she’s worried she’s about to become a one-woman band.
Wyatt’s got a sore tooth, which means his care factor for anything else is absolutely zero.
He can’t even eat his 200 daily Youfoodz!
Sad and worse – hungry. Nine
A few teams are left twiddling their thumbs when a plywood delivery is held up, but not Adam!
He has the absolutely bonkers idea of visiting Bunnings and picking it up himself, which works a treat.
Who knew?
In contrast, Wyatt and his tooth wait in sad, foodless silence.
He admits to feeling “useless”, but not enough to schedule an appointment to fix things.
Not even a Youfoodz at hand. Nine
To make matters worse, Foreman Dan tells him his frames have already been signed off, meaning he could’ve been insulating all day instead of just … sitting.
Eventually, he concedes that perhaps a visit to the dentist might help.
There, he learns he’s cracked it. The tooth, that is.
It’s right down to his gum and there’s nothing they can do to help him, except refer him to a specialist.
Obviously, this leads to very little progress for House 2.
Instead, their neighbours in House 3 have surged ahead, and by ahead, I simply mean they have completed everything they should have completed by this point.
Chantel and Wyatt claim “slow and steady wins the race”, which is a lovely sentiment but also the opposite of how The Block works!
Courtney and Sev head out to meet Scott Cam for their second winners’ getaway in a row, while the rest of the group head home for the chumps’ meal.
This week, there’s a special guest – or three!
Block 2025 couple Emma and Ben, with their son Bailey, are visiting for a barbie and a gossip.
Lisa quizzes Emma about being pregnant during the show, which turns out to be for a very exciting ulterior motive.
“We found out on Friday that we’re pregnant,” Lisa tells them.
The other teams don’t know it yet, but a Block baby is on the way! For the second year in a row!
Tomorrow night, everyone gets more stuck into Main Bedroom week … but it seems like they’ve all got the same idea.
See you there for secrets, copycats and desperation – just another week on The Block!
