Can we talk about The Block? What are you thinking so far if you're watching? Oh my eyes last night. WOW, they hurt! I know the contestants get better, but that was a really rough reveal. Shaynna made me laugh though! Anyhoo... let's have a look at the rooms... To give you a quick run …
Can we talk about The Block? What are you thinking so far if you’re watching? Oh my eyes last night. WOW, they hurt! I know the contestants get better, but that was a really rough reveal. Shaynna made me laugh though! Anyhoo… let’s have a look at the rooms…
To give you a quick run down, the contestants were given $3k to turn a room in to a bedroom. They were also told to use the paint colour to match their team colours (incase you were wondering why someone would choose that burnt orange or weird pink!). The winner of the challenge could pick their zone (eg. the penthouse and floor level) in the new building.
Here are the couples and their scores from last night – winners first…
Dean (electrician) and Shay (high school teacher) are the young married couple with a daughter. Last night they scored 27/20.
::
Luke (carpenter) and Ebony (interior designer) are the brother and sister team. I’m hoping they do well this year! They scored 24/30.
::
Here are the mums Suzi and Vonni. I really thought their job was terrible but they still scored 20/30. Not sure how these 2 will go, but I hope they have some hidden style in them.
::
Whitney (beauty therapist) and Andy (form worker) are the the tinder lovers. They made Shaynna laugh with their room! Neale said this was the worst room he’d ever seen. They scored 7/30.
::
Kingi (renderer) and Caro (cheerleader/motivator) are married with a daughter. Last night they blew their budget by $1,300 so they got sent straight to the bottom of the list. And no quilt cover?? Anyway, they scored 5/30.
::
In the end here’s who got in the new building:
Dean and Shay – Penthouse Level 5
Luke and Ebony – Level 4
Suzi and Vonni – Level 3
Whitney and Andy – Level 2
Kingi and Caro – Level 1
But by watching some of the ads on tv I can see they pull it together (with a little help from some designers I think!) and they end up producing some good houses. Can’t wait to see.
Stay tuned… this season I am blogging the entire thing with LOTS of giveaways from The Block Shop for YOU!

The start has been super disappointing. I really hope they get better because….urgh yuck!

At this rate I won’t be watching it. Those rooms were all blah.

Angus Leckie, here are the rooms! Thanks Katrina, we missed the reveals ?

I’m struggling just at the moment but I love the show so much I will stick with it a bit longer and hope for improvement. So far I’m loving the Townsville couple and am fretting for the tinder couple, they really need to get their act together. He should have some idea working in for work surely. Onwards and upwards for all I say.
Louise McKenzie
That should say working in formwork, whoops.

I’m undecided as to whether to watch this season of The Block. In all the years since the very first Block in Bondi, I have only missed 1 season (2010 – we were too busy growing a baby and looking to buy a house after our epic wedding). I fear I will be dropping down to a part-time observer for this series. I’m not sure if I can stomach another season of overzealous editing to make certain people appear cattier/nastier/lazier/feistier than they really are. I think I’ll stick to your updates and recaps.

I love the block and will always watch, but it’s just the same blah all the time. I really wonder about the selection process, the 2 moms, I mean really? The tinder guys have no idea, and the Qld couple? total disregard for the budget, not fair to the others!

Katrina, would you ever be tempted to go back and re-live your time on The Block, like Phil and Amity did? 🙂
Katrina
Yes, for sure!
Kate
Def a shaky start but hopefully they’ll all improve. Looking forward to your write ups each week! 🙂
