Week 12: Courtney and Grant’s winning front garden and facade reveal
Nailing the “perfect brief of coastal” was how Dave summed up Courtney and Grant’s winning design, which also saw them take home the Ford Mustang.

“I love it. Visually, it is warm, it’s cosy, it’s rich, and audibly, it’s just insane,” Marty said.
“You can hear those amazing water features, and it’s a really nice contrast as well with House One, how this exterior, it feels very beachy.”
The garage also impressed, and the entry way to the home was an instant hit.
“I love the handles. I love the profile of the door. This is entrance appeal,” Darren said.
A Kalamata olive tree paid homage to the home’s ‘Moditerranean’ theme.
“It all ties in so beautifully – it’s just stunning,” Marty said.
Darren said Courtney and Grant had a vision from day one for their house which they have delivered on every single week.
“It is still my favourite house on The Block. And they finished it, and they finished it with style,” he said.
Shaynna said the pair had created a house that people watching never knew they wanted, and they want “Moditerranean, and this sells the dream.”
Score: 38

Week 11: Courtney and Grant’s winning backyard and pool reveal
Scoring perfect 10s from Darren and Shaynna, the barbecue area was highly praised, with Dave loving that it was surrounded by olive, lemon and bay leave trees that could be used while cooking.
Courtney and Grant had one of the highest scores of the season for their backyard.
Marty said the outdoor area was Courtney and Grant’s sales hook.
“This indoor, outdoor flow, this is what people pay for,” he said.
“This is what gets them emotionally connected to a property, envisaging themselves with all their family and friends, feeling at home.”
A seating area with a fire pit, a smoker and pizza oven was highly praised, with Darren stating: “There’s so many different functions, from entertaining to just sitting around enjoying the fire pit, all the different cooking options. It actually has a lot of use.”
He applauded the time the pair spent planning the space, describing it as “miraculous” for how good it was for the timeframe they had.
“This is very unique for an outdoor space of this size, isn’t it? This is 35 to 40 metres of perfection,” Marty added.
Score: 39
Week 10: Courtney and Grant’s winning guest bedroom and laundry
Using the penguin they won from an earlier challenge saw Courtney and Grant win by half a point, with the finished area serving as a little apartment, Shaynna noted.
The ensuite – which did not fare well when it was judged weeks ago – was now praised.

“The size of this room had to mirror and compliment the size of the day spa next door, because that is now a day spa,” Shaynna said.
“Dare I say it? This is the main wing that I would personally like to sleep in within this house,” Marty added.
Marty believed the area was a “huge piece of the campaign”.
“This is a massive selling feature for the agencies targeting the right buyers, and what they pull together is simply superb,” he said.
In the laundry, Darren was concerned about the placement of the washer and dryer and the risk of hitting your head on the angled wall.
The omission of a toilet was also a concern.
Score: 29.5
Week 9: Maddy and Charlotte tie with Ricky and Haydn as winners for the rumpus rooms
This week, two very different rooms tied for first with Maddy and Charlotte’s rumpus room and office, plus Ricky and Haydn’s rumpus room and pool room tying for first place.

The sisters’ styling was finally on track with Shaynna impressed by their artwork choices and colour tones that created a cosy and intimate feel.
“How do you make it feel so cosy when it’s never been lived? I think that the girls have nailed it,” Marty said of the rumpus/sitting area.
The second guest retreat room – with works in place to add a separate external access door – garnered a heap of praise.
Darren said the decision to create a space with the potential to rent out might have just put Maddy and Charlotte “ahead of the pack.”
“So from an investment point of view, it makes this house a dual income property,” he said.
Score: 28
Ricky and Haydn’s winning rumpus and games room
Dubbed the “most Phillip Island house” of the five homes, the boys finally won a room reveal.

Darren said the home will have strong appeal to a buyer who wants a “relaxed, less uptight style,” despite not personally being excited by the room’s aesthetic himself.
The next space – a games arcade with a pool table – was a massive hit.
“This is what you call a league of your own. This is genius,” Marty said.
“The boys have been so smart, and the agent representing this would be sitting back, rubbing their hands together going: ‘We have something that none of the others have, which is the fun factor’.
“This is the fun house. This is the fun factory.”
Marty went even further saying it was pulling on his heartstrings and he wanted the home for his family.
“This is actually the most emotional I’ve felt in any of these rooms judging. I think they’ve hit it out of the ballpark.”
Score: 28
Week 8: Kylie and Brad’s winning living and dining
In a Block first, Shaynna sung in excitement as she stepped foot into the living and dining area, which won the week with two 10 out of 10 scores from herself and Marty.

“This is 75 square metres, so you could fit a two bedroom apartment, maybe a three bedroom apartment in this,” Darren said.
Marty – who said the room was his favourite so far of the season – said the symmetry of the room was spectacular.
Darren said despite the space’s expanse and very high ceilings, he was hot from the fireplace in spite of how chilly it was outside.
Another level of sophistication was on offer in the house, Marty said.
“So when buyers come to this home, they’re looking at something that none of the other contestants are offering,” he said.
“It has that darker tone, and if they have to have this colour palette there isn’t another option on this series. So they’re playing a very strategic card, which I think could pay dividends.”
Score: 29.5
Week 7: Maddy and Charlotte’s winning guest ensuite
The first space the sisters had designed from scratch since taking over from Jesse and Paige saw the girls win the week, with Shaynna coining a new style name for their efforts – classic simplicity.
“I love the girls direction, and I really glad that they found their own personality, because this is the first space that is truly theirs,” she said.

Marty said their background in flipping houses together was shining through.
“We see so many people get frazzled on The Block, but these guys have just taken it to a duck to water, because this is what they do,” he said.
There was very little to fault, Darren noted, and he loved the tile choices, brass detailing and the colour palette.
“It’s subtle and simple and sophisticated – (its) beautiful,” he said.
Score: 27.5

Week 6: Kylie and Brad’s winning kitchen
Finally using the penguin they won from an earlier challenge saw the team win by half a point, with Darren describing their design as “moody and sexy.”

“It’s absolutely in line with what Kylie and Brad have been trying to do every single week,” he said.
“They’ve tried for this. But this is on the money.”
Shaynna said the pair had finally found their sweet spot.
“This is perfection in the fact that they’ve found this style. This is the look, and they found it in the kitchen, one of the most important parts of the house,” she said.
Marty loved the simple styling and said his only concern was the lack of an appliance cupboard, which Shaynna said they should look at adding in a service area in laundry week.
Score: 28.5 (plus penguin bonus point = 29.5)
Week 5: Courtney and Grant tie with Kristian and Mimi as winners for the main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe
In a season first, main bedroom week saw two teams share the winner’s crown, where the final results were the tightest ever.

Darren could hardly contain his excitement upon first casting his eye across the room.
“Oh yum! It’s visceral. I can feel this room,” he said.
Like nothing she had seen before, Shaynna said it had a very Italian feel.
Marty stated the space was “the most marketable room” seen so far on The Block.

“A buyer will walk in here exactly like us, just react and think ‘I have not seen a room like it’,” he said.
“The detail, the planning, the fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week, blows my mind.”
So in love with the room, Marty wanted to see if he could get Channel 9’s permission to bid come auction day.
The praise continued for the walk-in robe, with the colour palette, stone, leather look finishes and timber grains a winning mix.
Score: 28/30
Kristian and Mimi’s winning main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe reveal
Calming, coastal and luxurious were among the accolades Marty used, while stating it was the “most hotel like room” of the day.
“Not only architecturally is this house different from the rest, and that’s a gift, but they are delivering on the finish,” Marty said.

“I was not expecting this. This takes my breath away. It absolutely takes my breath away,” Shaynna said.
Darren said Kristian and Mimi had adorned this house in the most beautiful way.
“This is going to be an absolutely photographable, saleable, beautiful home with proportions like no other house in The Block,” he said.
Score: 28/30
Week 4: Kristian and Mimi’s winning guest bedroom reveal
“For goodness sake, make our jobs easier!” Darren said in awe of the pair’s efforts.
He said the cloud bedheads with a silver lining and a rainbow behind them, was the idea of the day.
“Everything in here, I could say are beautiful and then just point to something, because it’s a beautiful ottoman and a beautiful throw and a beautiful bed cover, and a beautiful bed head,” he said.
Shaynna adored the sophisticated soft colour palette, which while actually being Art Deco and 1950s like, it had been turned it into a “beautiful modern beach feel.”
Darren noted after Kristian and Mimi were criticised for being complacent last week, there was no hint of that this week.
“I just see expertise. I see attention to detail, higher levels of finish, beautiful layouts, great decisions and design,” he said.
“I mean, they’re back baby.”
The pair won guest bedroom week by half a point, marking their third win in four weeks of the competition.
Score: 28
Week 3: Courtney and Grant’s winning main ensuite reveal
After two consecutive weeks of missing out on winning by a mere half a point, Courtney and Grant won ensuite bathroom reveal week by half a point.
“Insane”, “beautiful” and “touch-worthy” were among the accolades of the judges as they walked into the room.

“It’s classic. It’s got a very muted palette, but you walk in and you go, ‘Oh, it’s sexy’, and it’s because of the texture, it’s because of the matte finish, and it’s because this beautiful marble,” Shaynna said.
Marty said the room was very “Phillip Island,” and something that you would find in a six star hotel anywhere in the world.
Darren said the pair’s efforts would be taken away with him in his “happy memories for the rest of the day.”
“Actually, it’s really high point, and it’s going to be a point of comparison for me today,” he said.
Score: 28
Week 2: Kristian and Mimi’s winning guest bedroom reveal
Kristian and Mimi won for a second week in a row, beating Courtney and Grant once again by half a point.
Shaynna described the space as “boutique beach hotel,” while Marty made an early call, saying Mimi and Kristian are the team that will be extremely hard to beat.
“I’m calling it early because how they’re designing it, how they’re executing it, the craftsmanship. It’s very hard to fault,” he said.
Darren praised the effort and money put into the finer details.
“And those things, are the things that elevate a house from good to great,” he said.
Score: 28/30
Week 1: Kristian and Mimi’s winning guest bathroom
The Blockheads were thrown straight into the deep end in week one with the challenge of creating a bathroom, with Kristian and Mimi taking out the win.
“This truly is a proper family bathroom where we won’t feel like we’re on top of each other,” Marty said.

Describing the space as a huge success, Darren said he loved the beautiful materials used, particularly the floor tiles.
Shaynna was impressed with the balance of tone and texture, and felt the “watery tiles” reflected the Philip Island location.
