All the room reveals from The Block 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Block legend on the biggest reno money waster<\/a><\/p>\n Things are testy between Courtney and her landscaper Troy Lovett.<\/p>\n \u201cI figured we\u2019d all come together for a big, awkward chat,\u201d she begins.<\/p>\n \u201cJust to be clear, do you think I\u2019m trying to screw you over?\u201d Troy asks after they have some back and forth over unexpectedly high invoices and who should have had a contingency fund.<\/p>\n When the girls reassure him nobody is accusing him of dishonesty, the three are finally able to have a conversation about what can be deleted from this week\u2019s plans to come in on budget.<\/p>\n They decide to get rid of a water feature, delete some decking and choose less mature trees.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to be here for the week. I\u2019m going to do all that I can to make it the best that I can,\u201d Troy says. \u201cI\u2019m still confident that we\u2019re going to do something really nice. If I\u2019ve got to absorb the cost of all those bills that\u2019s a conversation that I\u2019ve got to have with myself because it\u2019s on me as much as it\u2019s on you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cbig awkward chat\u201d.<\/p>\n With that resolved it\u2019s on to the dispute between Adam and Jolene over access to their side yard.<\/p>\n The only way their neighbours Lisa and Rosco and Chantel and Wyatt can get landscaping materials into their backyards is via Adam and Jolene\u2019s sideway, or through their own houses.<\/p>\n Jolene wants to block her nemeses Chantel and Wyatt\u2019s access (though she\u2019s happier for their mates Rosco and Lisa to keep using it) while Adam wants to keep it open as long as possible for everyone in the interests of fairness.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just giving access to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Adam doesn\u2019t care. I\u2019m fighting a battle all on my own,\u201d Jolene says, frustrated with being \u201cthe b***h\u201d and Adam \u201cMr Nice Guy\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know when you get married to someone, you\u2019re supposed to hate who they hate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoesn\u2019t work with me, does it?\u201d he responds.<\/p>\n But while Jolene seems keen to keep the unfriendly rivalry with Chantel and Wyatt going, she\u2019s more inclined to properly bury the hatchet with Courtney and Sev after several weeks of them hurling insults ranging from \u201ca***holes\u201d to \u201cc**ts\u201d about another.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t want to leave The Block, the competition, the Block family and not have patched that up,\u201d Jolene says. \u201cWe\u2019ve put the weapons down. The girls have been our biggest competition, and I would be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t intimated by them but I think they\u2019ve been our driving force.\u201d<\/p>\n Courtney and Sev and Adam and Jolene\u2019s winners\u2019 dinner is a surprisingly friendly affair.<\/p>\n Courtney agrees.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout them in the competition we might have pared back in a few rooms and not pushed as hard as we did.\u201d<\/p>\n And so the stage is set for a pleasant co-winners\u2019 dinner between the four and Scott Cam.<\/p>\n Not so pleasant for Wyatt, though.<\/p>\n Despite his landscapers the affable Cursio brothers\u2019 best efforts, he\u2019s thrown his toys out of the wheelbarrow over the grind of carting load after load of soil through the site to his backyard.<\/p>\n Wyatt sooking because he has to lift stuff.<\/p>\n For some reason his interest in picking up heavy things only extends to the gym and not any practical applications.<\/p>\n And he\u2019s not all worried his massive sook is going to make him look ungrateful.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care how it comes across. I am over it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Cut to a pregnant Lisa pushing a laden barrow uphill full of soil.<\/p>\n Then it\u2019s on to the final challenge of the season, a sports trivia competition in which all contestants fail miserably, but none better than Chantel who nominates Shelley Craft as the captain of the Matildas in a multiple-choice question.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s the co-host of this show,\u201d Wyatt whispers.<\/p>\n \u201cNo she\u2019s not, are you joking?\u201d Chantel<\/p>\n Chantel finds out Shelley Craft isn\u2019t the captain of the Matildas.<\/p>\n MISSED AN EPISODE?
