The Block 2024 episode 41 recap: citing her ‘maturity’, Kylie abuses sisters and storms out again

A furious Kylie has stormed out. Again.

This time the mother-of-four’s tanty came after conversation turned to Charlotte and Maddy’s so-called lies while the sisters were hosting the weekly loser’s dinner.

Kylie hasn’t let go of her fury over the girls failing to tell the group they were property flippers.

And a screening of The Block the night before had reopened this old wound, with Maddy and Charlotte discovering what the other contestants had been saying about them behind their backs.

The duo wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms when they replaced Jesse and Paige several weeks into filming. And staying mum on their house renovating experience has just given Kylie and co a reason to give them the cold shoulder.

While the pair knew Kylie wasn’t their biggest fan (let’s face it, she’s not exactly discreet about her disdain), they were shocked to see and hear how widely disliked they were.

“It’s not pleasant but I understand we are on a reality show,” Maddy said through tears.

“This is what we signed up for but you just don’t ever expect that you would be the reason that a group of eight adults get together and tear you apart.”

As the lowest scoring team for the previous week, the sisters were forced to put their discomfort aside to host dinner for everyone.

Wanting to address the elephant in the room, Ricky and Haydn asked the sisters how they were feeling after the screening and whether they would have done anything differently in retrospect.

Rather than admitting fault, Maddy and Charlotte stood firm, arguing there was nothing to regret because the contestants had made no real effort to get to know them or ask questions about their background.

That was too much for Kylie to swallow and, having already cleared her plate, she left the room in a huff.

“I don’t need to deal with f***ing liars, my God!” Kylie fumed as Brad scampered after her.

“It was a conversation that I did not want to be part of anymore so I took the mature stance and left.”

Interesting that Kylie considers her own behaviour to be an example of “maturity”.

A teary Maddy said she felt “so sad” that Kylie and Brad had not given them an opportunity to clear the air.

And that doesn’t appear to be on the cards any time soon as a furious Kylie vowed to have “nothing to do with them” and labelled the pair something too obscene to make it to air.

Kylie is also furious about the judges’ feedback for her final rooms. In fairness, angry appears to be her default setting.

“I’m off the judges. All of them,” she moaned as she geared up for landscape week.

Renovating the gardens is a chaotic and expensive undertaking, and this year is no exception with 100 extra trades on site.

The combined area of the five teams’ gardens comes in at a whopping 2269sqm. Plus regular Block landscaping whiz Dave Franklin will be making over the large communal pool and garden area before judging the contestants’ spaces at the end of the week.

As per usual, Kristian and Mimi have the largest outdoor area to complete. Their 552sqm yard will include a pool, paved barbecue area, half-sized basketball court and fire pit.

Although warned not to bring in too many materials early in the week because there was “nowhere to store it”, Kristian and Mimi’s gung-ho landscaper, Troy Lovett, came in all guns blazing, creating headaches for the Nine and Six team (who conduct the general works for the entire site).

“Sometimes Troy can be over prepared,” Kristian said, after Dan pointed out the pile of dirt and timber blocking the site entry.

“He got a couple of deliveries in today that we didn’t need until Friday so he may have pushed the wrong buttons for the Nine in Six boys.”

Landscaper Troy is getting things done for his team, but holding everyone else up.

As a Block veteran though, Troy knows how to play the game. He may be over-prepared but he knows how to work the site and communicate with all the relevant parties to ensure his work goes ahead with minimal roadblocks.

“He knows how to push things to the limit,” Mimi said of Troy’s smooth talking.

Ricky and Haydn had the opposite problem. Like Kylie and Brad’s place, their property sat at the rear of the site, meaning they were always last to receive any supplies and their delivery trucks had to navigate a driveway cluttered with other vehicles and (Mimi and Kristian’s) piles of dirt. Making matters worse they still didn’t have a landscaper and would be handling the job themselves.

And so, it was all hands-on deck, with Haydn, Rick even builder Duncan ferrying barrows of concrete.

Having won the least rooms, their garden would be pretty basic. Apart from a pool and swing set, it would just feature a deck, grass and some plants.

Thankfully, having scored a 10 for their laundry and kids’ bedroom, they had had an extra $10,000 to put towards their vast expanse of grass.

Kylie and Brad had the smallest garden on The Block where they would be putting in a pool and firepit as well as their private gate to the communal tennis court.

Refusing to heed the judges’ advice to step away from her funereal aesthetic Kylie found a reason to smile (well, to remove the scowl from her face) when she saw that Freedom stocked black outdoor cushions.

But Brad wasn’t having as much luck. The driveway traffic jam had left him high and dry when his Mitre 10 deliveryman grew tired of waiting and left.

“They’ve got other customers so they can’t just sit around waiting but the steel that was on the truck I needed for the concrete that is coming in 15 minutes,” a downcast Brad explained.

The couple’s foes, Maddy and Charlotte were in a better position.

They would have a basketball court, above-ground pool, pizza oven and “leisure zone” as well as that secret weapon (the spiral staircase to their second-floor apartment).

Lucky for them they had another game-changing trick up their sleeves – the Hipages lever. The sisters were able to call in additional labour to help their landscaper get their garden done.
