The Block on Channel 9 – After thinking about it all week Leah finally heads to Kristy and Brett’s house to voice her concern about their behaviour, especially towards Eliza and Liberty. It all comes from the confrontation at Scotty’s HQ last week after judging when Eliza called out Kristy.
All week Leah has been feeling uncomfortable about this, and with Ash on her side, she goes to House No.3 to have it out with Kristy and Brett. It doesn’t go down well. As Leah tries to explain how she feels, Kristy bites back, and says she is only saying this because she is worried how she is going to be portrayed later on.
Kristy feels why is she to blame for the so-called mean girls behaviour? She thinks Leah was a very willing accomplice. Ash explains the confrontation was necessary as he and Leah are not like this at home and they want to be true to themselves, and set an example for their three kids. It all ends in tears and Leah admits, her once close friendship with Kristy is now gone.
Eliza and Liberty also have gone cold on Kristy and Brett, managing to avoid speaking to them all week. This is all going on as the Blockheads attempt to finish their master ensuite bathrooms.
After a drama packed week Scotty arrives on Charming St and our Blockheads are judged on their master ensuite bathrooms.
About The Block
Get ready, Australia. The Block, the number one renovation reality program, returns for an incredible 19th season on Sunday, August 6, at 7.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Set in the family-friendly Melbourne suburb of Hampton East, the new series features five houses designed and built in the 1950s and located on the aptly named Charming Street. These grand old dames are now aged in their 70s and way overdue for a contemporary update.
For the first time in Block history, host Scott Cam will be providing contestants with the full renovation schedule ahead of time this season. So get your cameras out, Blockheads, it’s photo time.
Adding to the year of Block firsts and amping up the stakes at play during the 48-hour House Decider Challenge, contestants will be seeing all finished designs of the houses on Day 1. Who will prevail and get the house of their choice?
Not only will they get the schedule and designs up front, but in another first, they’ll receive their entire budgets as well.
However, the Blockheads will soon find out that it’s not all smooth sailing when renovating an original 1950s home – structural issues, extreme weather events, and a mountain of demolition will test our five keen couples every step of the way.
Plus, The Block’s state-versus-state rivalry will be amplified by the sheer closeness of the houses this year. Who knew being able to peak into your neighbours builds would cause such tension?
The couples in contention are: sisters Eliza and Liberty Paschke (personal assistant, 37, and integration producer, 34, VIC); parents Kyle and Leslie Cottone (firefighter, 36, and teaching aide, 34, WA); parents Leah and Ash Milton (first aid officer, 31, and builder, 36, QLD); married couple Kristy and Brett Beames (project manager, 34, and safety officer, 34, SA); and newlyweds Steph and Gian Ottavio (architect, 27, and start up worker, 27, NSW).
Real estate expert Marty Fox isn’t the only new addition to the lineup this season. The formidable foremen Keith Schleiger and Dan Reilly will be joined on site with the fan favourite from last year, Tom Calleja.
The nation fell in love with Tom and his wife Sarah-Jane because of their work ethic and relatable marital bickering, and he jumped at the chance to work with Scotty and come back as this year’s official Block plumber.
The designs of the amazing homes in this series again come from The Block’s resident architect, Julian Brenchley.
At stake is $100,000 for the overall winner of The Block, on top of any profit the five couples can all make on the critical auction day. Plus bragging rights for the winners’ state.
Since premiering on Channel 9 in 2003, Australia’s richest reality program has awarded a total of $32,592,807.65 in prizemoney.
