The Block
Five couples are tasked with renovating the notorious Gatwick Hotel into luxury apartments to be sold at public auction for profit and a life changing $100,000 prize.
Five couples arrive at the block to find The Gatwick, an iconic rundown 58 room hotel built in 1937. They have just 48 hours to deliver a winning bedroom to get first pick of the apartments.
The five teams race to finish the 48-hour challenge and do their best to impress judges Neale Whitaker, Darren Palmer, and Shaynna Blaze. The winning team gets first pick of the houses. Next up: the bathroom.
Our five teams start on Day 2 of their main bathrooms. They are all busy finding trades, coming up with secret weapons, and fixing problems, so they can deliver their rooms in just four short days.
The Blockheads are all at different stages with their rooms. Site foreman, Keith, has stern words with two teams, and another team suspects they are cursed.
It’s a frantic race to the finish as our couples deliver their incredible main bathrooms to the judges. Sadly, one team doesn’t finish in time for tools down.
Five teams inspect each other’s finished bathrooms, before starting on their second room, the guest bedroom. Kerrie and Spence redeem one of their safe prizes.
Five couples compete in a challenge for extra money to go towards their apartments. One team comes up with a game-changing idea, that could potentially win them the series.
The winner of the first challenge is announced. One team discovers an issue with the build of their guest bedroom that appears impossible to fix before reveal.
The judges return to score some impressive guest bedrooms. It’s a close finish, with half a mark between first and second place. An ex contestant returns to pay one of the Blockheads a visit.
It’s day one of a new room: master ensuite. One team feels the judges are being overly harsh towards them, and Keith catches another team cheating.
Sara is elated when her secret weapon arrives. Courtney and Hans cannot stay at the Block, so Scott sends all the couples for a night away in Bendigo.
One couple wins $5000 in the Kids Undercover challenge. All teams return to the Block, where two couples are behind the other Blockheads because Keith didn’t approve their waterproofing.
It’s the day before the reveal, and three teams have issues with their shower screens. One couple are very upset with the judges feedback and want to leave the Block permanently.
Our five teams begin master bedroom and walk-in robes week. After a dramatic judging, one team consider leaving the show for good.
Courtney is highly stressed about styling her massive master bedroom that’s triple the size of the penthouses. Ex-contestants, Michael and Carlene, return to judge the teams in a caravan challenge.
Two of the Today show’s biggest stars and co-hosts, Karl Stefanovic and Georgie Gardner, visit The Block. Norm and Jess get one step closer to building their secret weapon, provided they get one neighbours approval. But will they get it?
Dan is concerned Bianca and Carla might be trying to cheat after they fail to display their aircon vent. The judges’ feedback is delivered, causing one team to go from zero to hero.
Courtney and Hans have a huge decision to make: do they allow Norm and Jess to install a pool and hope it doesn’t give them a winning edge at auction, or do they risk their friendship and say no?
The largest rooms in Block history take their toll on our Blockheads, and one couple walks off.
Ex-contestants Ronnie and Georgia return to judge a Ronald McDonald House challenge. One team calls a body corporate to ask the group if they can be exempt from the challenge.
