Marty Fox lifts the lid on luxury dealbreakers<\/a><\/p>\n Block\u2019s Mt Eliza design gamble slammed<\/a><\/p>\n Not even getting her own perfect ten could comfort a devastated Lisa.<\/p>\n Poor Lisa likely thought she had the win in the bag when the judges swooned over her kids\u2019 room, created in homage to her young son, Lando. But when Darren spotted a missed patch of paint on the skirting and noted it would cost them a 10, Lisa saw victory slip away. The judges heavily praised Sev\u2019s kids\u2019 room instead, with Darren enthusing, \u201cThis is everything you could ever do and done super well!\u201d<\/p>\n The judges loved Lisa and Rosco\u2019s kids\u2019 room with reading nook.<\/p>\n He added, \u201cYou talk about effort in House Three, this is effort plus\u201d a comparison that left House Three\u2019s Lisa visibly scowling.<\/p>\n It was Courtney and Sev\u2019s redone lounge room that truly stole the show.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is perfect!\u201d Marty Fox said with delight. \u201cIt\u2019s the only house with a fire that\u2019s an afterthought in the perfect location. And look at the marble insert! It\u2019s one of the best living spaces in Block history.\u201d<\/p>\n Courtney and Sev\u2019s redone living area with copycat mirror and fireplace.<\/p>\n Darren wondered how Jolene and Adam would feel about the girls copying their mirror and fireplace concepts. Sev had been bracing for Cyclone Jolene all week, preparing a string of justifications.<\/p>\n \u201cHere\u2019s my rebuttal. I am fairly confident that (Jolene) got her inspiration from somewhere,\u201d Sev explained. \u201cThat\u2019s how life goes. You get inspired by what you see and what you hear. So, it was always on our radar we just finally got some money from Scotty Cam to implement it. They should be flattered.\u201d<\/p>\n Remarkably, Jolene remained relatively calm about the girls repackaging her ideas into a $50,000 win, especially considering her own rooms copped a caning. Darren called their kids\u2019 room \u201cmeh\u201d while storage-obsessed Shaynna zeroed in on the wardrobe\u2019s lack of hanging space and open shelving.<\/p>\n Adam and Jolene were critised for a terrible wardrobe design and for not presenting a kids room.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, kids don\u2019t need clothes obviously, or they are going to fold everything neatly,\u201d Shaynna remarked sarcastically, noting the curved finish cost them valuable storage space, making it \u201ca really bad design\u201d.<\/p>\n Critiques continued in Jolene and Adam\u2019s redo room, which Marty felt wasn\u2019t redone enough, suspecting they pocketed most of their $10,000 budget for landscaping.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just another lazy room and that has to be the worst flower arrangement this season,\u201d Shaynna said, while Darren added, \u201cThe two rooms they have shown us today could still be redo rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n Adam and Jolene\u2019s redo room was a makeover of their failed guest room.<\/p>\n Tayla and Rick went into judging all smiles following an earlier clash, but their confidence was quickly dashed by mockery over their finishes.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s start with the positive, there\u2019s no plant under the desk,\u201d Darren joked, while Marty felt the room was \u201cin the space of forgettable\u201d. The judges liked the updated couches in the lounge room, but Shaynna nitpicked a small decorative painting she felt belonged in a $2 shop, declaring, \u201cI\u2019m disappointed\u201d.<\/p>\n Rick and Tayla\u2019s kids\u2019 room.<\/p>\n The biggest disappointments were saved for wooden spooners Chantel and Wyatt, whose plain kids\u2019 room led Shaynna to question whether this year\u2019s contestants had<\/p>\n \u201can allergy to children\u201d.<\/p>\n Darren called it a miss that used colour for the sake of it, prompting a sigh from Wyatt, who felt they couldn\u2019t win regardless of whether they used beige or bright shades.<\/p>\n Chantel and Wyatt\u2019s kids\u2019 room wasn\u2019t a kids room at all.<\/p>\n What left the expert trio completely gobsmacked was the living room, where Chantel and Wyatt stubbornly refused to amend their heavily criticised layout despite pocketing $10,000 for best budgeting.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m beyond frustrated. If I could get them in front of me, I would shake them and say: \u2018What are you doing?\u2019\u201d Shaynna said.<\/p>\n Chantel and Wyatt\u2019s redo room was barely redone at all.<\/p>\n Marty labelled them \u201caskholes\u201d \u2014 people who seek advice only to let it sink into a hole of inaction. A dismissive Chantel rolled her eyes and scoffed, clarifying that she didn\u2019t consider herself an askhole because she never asked for their advice to begin with.<\/p>\n FINAL SCORES<\/p>\n Sev and Courtney 30<\/p>\n Lisa and Rosco 29<\/p>\n Tayla and Rick 21.5<\/p>\n Jolene and Adam 21.5<\/p>\n Chantel and Wyatt 17.5<\/p>\n MISSED AN EPISODE?
