Rumpus and laundry week is officially underway, though you wouldn’t know it from watching Monday’s episode, since barely anyone got near an actual rumpus room or laundry. Instead, day one delivered a luxury boat getaway, a tile stoush that ended with one contestant calling another “delusional”, and a supply-chain raid involving a roll of blue…

Kitchen week ends the only way a $100,000 week ever could: with a body corp meltdown, a wasted joker, a pantry raid, and one house that simply didn’t finish. Scott Cam warned everyone it would be a $500,000 kitchen for someone. Nobody quite got there, but a few came close enough to make Marty Fox…

Halfway through Kitchen Week and the temperature’s up everywhere, in the bedrooms, on the site, and now in the prize pool. Scott Cam turns up with a gold bar in his pocket and somehow that’s not even the strangest thing that happens today. Key Moments Today DRAMAChantel and Wyatt’s kitchen handles arrive in the wrong…

Every kitchen on site was looking pretty good on Tuesday, right up until someone asked the obvious question: what’s actually holding your stone splashback up? Turns out, for four out of five houses, the honest answer was “hope.” Kitchen week rolls on, and the cracks are starting to show somewhere other than the plasterboard. Key…

Kitchen week has arrived, the room every renovator says they actually want to win, and Scott Cam marks the occasion by revealing one house has a quarter of a million dollars in appliances alone. Everyone else gets a $20,000 budget and a Gyprock delivery that mostly doesn’t turn up. Balanced competition, as always. Key Moments…

Halfway through the season, and Scott Cam marks the occasion by handing out two perfect tens, an “unsaleable” verdict, and a stray pot plant hiding under a desk. Five teams, five guest bedrooms and ensuites, one $10,000 Chery cheque, and a prize pool that just cracked $300,000. Welcome to week six. Rank Team Score Judges’…

Halfway through the season, and Scott Cam decides the best way to test five exhausted renovators is a live cook-off with mussels, actual live mussels, most of which nobody on this street has touched before. By Friday, one team is $10,000 richer, one team’s tiling has been ripped off and rebuilt on someone else’s dime,…

Guest suite week hits Waterproof Tuesday, and while one house is celebrating another clean sweep, another has just watched a wall of steel frame get run over by a Volvo. By the time the sun goes down, half the site is convinced someone’s been sneaking back in after hours, and by dinner it’s less a…

Week six, and for the first time all season the Blockheads have to present a bedroom and a bathroom in the same reveal. Twice the rooms means twice the stress, and that’s before you factor in the small matter of house five turning up to Monday’s pre-start meeting with a completely different lineup. Key Moments…
