The latest episode of “The Block” aired on Sunday night on Channel 9, featuring a dramatic shift in the competition. Sydney sisters Maddy and Charlotte, the youngest contestants, entered the fray, replacing Jesse and Paige. Their introduction brought an immediate challenge: a frantic search for tradespeople, a task that threatened to disrupt their progress.
Kylie’s bold choice of copper wallpaper divided opinions among the judges, while Courtney and Grant’s Mediterranean-inspired room prompted Foreman Dan to question their design approach. Despite the criticism, the duo stood firm in their creative vision.
As the “tools down” call was made, tension mounted. Ricky and Haydn’s team faced a setback, leaving their room incomplete. The judges’ critiques were thorough, offering a mix of praise and constructive suggestions.
Here is a summary of the judges’ assessments:
House No.1: Maddy and Charlotte – 24.5 points. The sisters’ Hardie Groove paneling impressed, but there was room for improvement in their overall score.
House No.2: Courtney and Grant – 28 points. Their unique style and bold vision earned them top marks, with the judges praising their creative approach.
House No.3: Ricky and Haydn – 21.5 points. The duo’s coastal-inspired room showed promise, but time management concerns were raised.
House No.4: Kylie and Brad – 27.5 points. Kylie and Brad finally found their groove, receiving high praise for their dark and moody masterpiece.
House No.5: Kristian and Mimi – 28 points. The opulence of their Kinsman walk-in-robe was admired, although functional flaws slightly impacted their score.
With Kitchen Week commencing tonight at 7:30 pm on Channel 9 and 9Now, the competition heats up. The teams prepare for another intense round, and the question remains: Will Kylie and Brad’s decision to forgo their bonus advantage come back to haunt them?
