It\u2019s the start of the biggest week on The Block<\/a> with not only a Kids Bedroom and Re-do Room to do, but a surprise $110,000 in cash up for grabs! <\/p>\n

Courtney and Sev<\/a> are flushed with cash after winning Rumpus and Laundry reveals<\/a>, and naturally, their rivals have some … thoughts. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turns out Jolene had plenty of thoughts. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate that… that\u2019s awful,\u201d Jolene<\/a> sneers during a brutal Domain Open For Inspections. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd look at the finishes, that\u2019s disgusting.\u201d <\/p>\n

For a space that\u2019s half a point shy of a perfect 30, Jolene thinks the girls\u2019 execution is an absolute \u201cdog\u2019s breakfast\u201d. Tell us how you really feel. <\/p>\n

[insert lift here OFI] <\/p>\n

Even Lisa<\/a> spots something that\u2019s slipped past the judges\u2019 eyes. <\/p>\n

Considering what Courtney and Sev have planned for their Re-do Room, we have a suspicion the girls are about to ruffle even more tense feathers on site. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you joking?\u201d Jolene reacts. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

And now, our feathers are ruffled because Chantel and Wyatt<\/a> plan to inject COLOUR into their Kids Bedroom. <\/p>\n

The same can\u2019t be said for their Re-Do Room which Scotty has assigned here. <\/p>\n

Every team\u2019s redo room for Week 9: <\/p>\n

As the Blockheads finish their home interiors, it\u2019s only fitting that Scotty drops the most important challenge of the season. <\/p>\n

Hint: It\u2019s worth a small fortune and could very well dictate who walks away as winners on Auction Day. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis week is our Domain Listing and Buyer\u2019s Jury Open House Challenge,\u201d Scotty reveals. <\/p>\n

[Domain challenge lift]<\/p>\n

Come Thursday night, the house with the most votes will take home a whopping $50,000 cash and the cover of Domain magazine. <\/p>\n

Tally up this week\u2019s two room reveals, the budget award and the potential of three perfect 10s, that\u2019s an eye-watering $110,000 sitting on the table. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s clear, this week\u2019s rooms and challenge must be absolute winners. What better inspo is there than another team\u2019s past winning room? <\/p>\n

We smell a scandal brewing. <\/p>\n

You see, Courtney and Sev\u2019s planned Re-do Room looks suspiciously like Adam and Jolene\u2019s winning Living and Dining<\/a>. <\/p>\n

[insert court sev re-do lift here]<\/p>\n

Their new inclusions include a fireplace, a \u201cmirror wall\u201d and hopefully a Christian Cole dining table. <\/p>\n

Sev admits this may be seen as \u201ccopying\u201d but she sees it as inspiration, so it\u2019s totally fine. But she\u2019s also low-key worried. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m already forecasting someone making me cry this week,\u201d Sev confesses. Who? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJolene,\u201d she whispers. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Right now, Jolene has a bone to pick with Chantel and Wyatt. <\/p>\n

Following last week\u2019s drama (when Wyatt was caught snooping in House 1<\/a>), the tension is lingering \u2013 much like the smell of Chantel\u2019s dirty dishes soaking. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We can smell the protein from here. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Chantel and Wyatt left for the gym without offering to wash up anything but their own plates (again), and Jolene is on the brink of losing it. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we, f–king 12?\u201d Jolene hisses in a rampage behind their backs. \u201cHe\u2019s like a man child.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chantel and Wyatt get on Jolene\u2019s final nerves. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

\u201cThey go home early, they don\u2019t put in 100 per cent, they\u2019re not here to produce an amazing house, and he walks around like a Michelin man, like he f–king runs the place.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jolene is so upset, she pours Wyatt\u2019s half-full tub of protein powder down the bin. <\/p>\n

[insert lift here]<\/p>\n

In case the message isn\u2019t clear enough, she leaves a warm note for Chantel and Wyatt to discover when they return. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What will Chantel and Wyatt\u2019s response be?\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the attitude of not being part of the team,\u201d a much calmer Jolene later explains to cameras. <\/p>\n

Wednesday night, the war on washing up continues as does the divide between our Blockheads. Plus the looming pressure of the Domain challenge, see you then! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s the start of the biggest week on The Block with not only a Kids Bedroom and Re-do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910040,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-910039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
