Sunday’s living, dining and alfresco reveal left Darren Palmer rattled all episode, and by Monday the takes were flying: Reddit picking apart the judges’ logic, and the mastheads still working through the fallout from a $12,000 accounting stuff-up. Here’s the temperature check.
What Blockheads Are Saying
“What are they supposed to do with that dead space, install a basketball court?”

Over on r/TheBlock, the reveal thread spent less time on the actual design than on whether the judges get their memories wiped between houses, given they’ll apparently love a feature in one living room and despise the same thing next door. One commenter summed up the room size complaints best, asking what the teams were even supposed to do with that much dead space, install a basketball court.
What the Mastheads Ran Today
TV Blackbox’s recap of Sunday’s reveal has Darren Palmer’s core gripe: almost every team pointed their living room at the television instead of Mount Eliza’s water views, a call that helped Adam and Jolene to a season best 9 while Chantel and Wyatt sat on 6.5 (also covered by Home Beautiful).
Meanwhile the Chantel and Wyatt saga rolled on. Now to Love reports the pair still feel targeted after a duplicated invoice briefly made their guest bedroom spend look nearly $12,000 over budget, while WHO.com.au’s exclusive has them saying they felt dismissed by Scott Cam before he and EP Julian Cross sat down to smooth things over (also covered by Pedestrian.tv, which had Cam apologising outright).
That’s the vibe check for today. See you back here once the paint’s dry on tonight’s episode.
