It’s episode 31 of The Block 2023 and it’s a mad scramble before 100 buyers descend on Charming St for the Domain Listings challenge.

Finally putting the drama aside (lol jokes), Kyle and Leslie were awarded the weekly BoB award and as you can imagine, Kristy was p**sed.

Meanwhile, Ash has a major dispute with Foremen Keith and Dan and The Block builders, Nine In Six because he wants to provide photos for a waterproof inspection but this is a reality TV show. And that’s a YUGE no-no.

But Ash has ammunition. A few weeks earlier, Eliza and Liberty were able to send photos in to get an inspection approved. We get his logic, but a few weeks ago, the houses were barely built…

Eliza confronts Leah and Ash

Since Kristy and Brett have poisoned the well with their “the sisters are favoured” rampage, it’s an interesting point; however, when Eliza overhears that Ash is not happy, she confronts him.

Ash (despite sometimes getting involved in the absolute chaos that is the drama during this season of the show) remains calm while trying to prove his point. And even though it could have caused even more of a divide, it prompts Eliza to have a chat with both Leah and Ash about Kristy’s behaviour.

The response?

Eliza then says that the villains of this season also have a terrible reputation with the crew and builders, but whether it is based on fact is another question….

Leah and Ash both reflect on what their three children will think about their behaviour so far. Leah breaks down, wondering if her choice of friendship was right in the first place.

The 100 buyers descend on The Block

With all this reflective effort, we half forgot that the 100 buyers were coming! As they arrive for the Domain Listings challenge, Adrian Portelli joins them. Ya know, the one who famously underbidded on Omar and Oz’s winning house in Gisborne in 2022…

Meanwhile, Steph and Gian impress all the buyers and they win by a small landslide. The high school sweethearts take home a cool $50,000 in prize money thanks to Domain.

But there’s still the after-party… and as we all know, nothing good can come from a late-night rendezvous!

It’s episode 30 of The Block 2023 and forget about building, all anyone can talk about is the dramatic fallout between Kristy and Brett and Eliza and Liberty at Scotty’s HQ.

With the house divide at an all-time high, Eliza and Liberty are sick of Kristy’s s**t, while Kristy could not GAF, saying that Eliza has now shown her true colours. Charming.

In a truly wonderful turn of events, Leah is having a truly emotional start to the week, questioning whether her friendship with Kristy will have a negative impact on her and Ash’s experience on The Block.  In fact, she is worried she will be guilty by association. Too late.

Meanwhile, the Blockheads get to work on the master bedroom ensuite and Eliza and Liberty have welcomed their new building team, Robbie and Chris. 

The Domain Listing Challenge announcement

Scotty and Alice Stolz from Domain are welcomed to Charming St to announce that it’s Domain Listing challenge time and I am here to announce… that this challenge is literally, the only one that has ever helped them.

Not only do they have to create a Domain listing for the website of their house, but they will also introduce 100 buyers to check out – and most importantly judge – all the rooms they have completed so far.

The prize? A Block record of $50,000 dollars.

The drama continues to be the only thing that anyone cares about

After winning the kitchen and laundry room reveal, Eliza and Liberty go for their getaway with Scotty as usual, he’s only interested in the juicy gossip.

Meanwhile, as the Blockheads get ready for the challenge, the drama between Kristy and Brett and Leah and Ash – and also Eliza and Liberty – is all anyone can talk about.

Then, at a crew BBQ, Leah says to Eliza that she wants to have a chat with her about Kristy….

It’s episode 29 of The Block and time for the Kitchen and Laundry reveals — a.k.a the glaringly obvious product placement that is the “Kinsman Kitchens”….

But before we see how our Blockheads did this week, here’s what happened during the episode.

24 hours until tools down

With 24 hours until “tools down”, the usual last-minute chaos was cranked up a few thousand notches. 

Even though they’re the ones who are living in utter disarray, Eliza and Liberty are actually in a really good place with their build this week, but they have a tough decision to make regarding their builders.

The pair sit down with their inconsistent builder Mark and his team and they voice their concerns. After telling them that they’re thinking about getting a new team, Mark convinces them to have another think about it. Basically, they’ve come this far with the madness, so they may as well stick with it…

Scotty; however, has had enough and intervenes, telling the girls they have to make the tough decision and break up with their builders. When they deliver the news, the boys are less than thrilled, saying they want to finish the job.

While Mark and his team are fantastic builders, they’re just not the right fit for the Chaos Kweens and so after the goodbyes, it is revealed the new team will start on Monday.

The Blockheads then work all through the night to deliver some stunning spaces, before heading to Scotty’s HQ for a drama-filled night of judging. YAY!

The judging drama

The judging (see below) saw Eliza and Liberty and Kristy and Brett, go head-to-head before the sisters revealed they had a secret gnome — ya know, the one they won during the cursed break dancing challenge.

As expected, Kristy and Brett were fumin’ because they are seriously sore losers, feeling that it reiterated the fact that the sisters had been getting special treatment. Of course, Leah jumped on the bandwagon, but Ash couldn’t give two sh**s.

After the judging was complete, Eliza was furious at Kristy and Bretty as they didn’t congratulate her. She then confronted Kristy, calling her out, saying they didn’t get special treatment.

Kristy could not get over the audacity of Eliza and was still adamant they were being favoured before Eliza later explained she was sick of Kristy’s s**t.

Room Reveals

Kyle and Leslie – $$33,740

Shaynna says the space feels “sexy,” with the ceilings and the curves a real hit.

Neale Whitaker, who is back on The Block this week, agreed, saying he could really see Kyle and Leslie’s vision coming to life.

While the kitchen and laundry were very functional with plenty of storage; the judges felt the floor plan of the Butler’s pantry was wrong.

Leah and Ash – $22,083

Neale loved the materials used in the kitchen, even though there were a lot of different ones used.

While Darren was initially “besotted” by the kitchen, the judges had huge issues with the smaller size of the island bench and the placement of the sink.

They loved the Butler’s pantry but questioned whether they really needed it and when it came to the laundry, there were concerns you had to walk through the bathroom to get to it.

Kristy and Brett – $29,878

The judges were impressed by the burgundy bench top and loved that the rest of Kristy and Brett’s kitchen was all white, calling it sleek, modern and contemporary.

While they had issues with the size of the dining table, dining chairs and island bench chairs, they were still impressed.

As for the laundry? It was very well done and functional.

Steph and Gian – $25,304

The judges frothed over the Japandi style saying it was “incredible” and looked amazing.

While it was perfect for Instagram, they questioned whether it was functional. They felt the biggest issue was having to cook on the Island bench.

While they liked the Butler’s kitchen, they thought the whole space had functionality issues; however, their laundry was very well received.

Eliza and Liberty – $23,669

The judges loved the bold choice of the orange oven and had a lot of positives to say about the space.

Darren praised the girls for being the only team to get the size of the island bench right and the judges all thought it had impressive storage in both the kitchen and the laundry.

It was the best space the sisters have delivered yet.
