With backyards complete, Charming Street's Block is almost ready for the market. But some big questions remain - like, is the market ready for them? Who do we expect the buyers to be? And did the contestants succeed in creating fabulous family homes? 

For the answer to all these questions and more, there is no better person to ask than Domain’s National Property Editor, Alice Stolz - and this episode is filled with her expertise, expectations and unfiltered opinions.

First coming into the Block, they said sisters Eliza and Liberty were as different from one another as chalk and cheese - but reflecting after their re-do room, the real difference could lie in where they started to where they are now!
The girls talk about realising just how far they've come, body corp blow ups, the difficulty of hosting family in a half finished Block home and the big question: have they crafted a competition-winning home?

In their own words, they came to the Block to ruffle feathers and they’re certainly making good on that! But as they watch events unfold on the telly like the rest of us, do Kristy and Bretty stand by their decisions? And how do they feel about their ‘break-up’ with Leah and Ash?

But first, the man with the plans (the floorplans, that is) longtime Block architect Julian Brenchly. How does he see each house? How was he hoping to test the contestants this season? And how does he feel about Blockheads messing with his work?

"It's more of a personal journey than it is a renovation journey"

It's not just the ensuite mirrors that are doing the reflecting this week. In this episode, Leah and Ash discuss how the Block has made them grow, why they felt they had to confront Kristy and Brett, and on a slightly lighter side, the real reasons you might see them pull some unusual faces during their interviews... 

But first, Darren Palmer clarifies the key design differences between ensuites and other bathrooms, what the must-haves are for a truly luxury feeling, and which is harder to work with - a smaller space or an enormous one?

It’s a feast for Block fans this week! First course: Shaynna Blaze’s thoughts on what made some kitchens clean up, others feel a little underdone and why the best kitchens have as much to do with community as they do with cuisine…
Then, the main: Eliza and Liberty on budgets, breaking up with their builders, the feeling of their first room win, why their kitchen was always the key to their styling - and of course, that confrontation with Kristy and Brett.

They’ve gone from losing streak to being the couple to beat… So, are Steph and Gian giving the other Blockheads a run for their auction-day money?

In this episode, Steph and Gian talk about their initial trepidation tackling The Block’s largest Master Bedroom and Walk-In Robe and going with gut feelings, before giving their two cents of the latest design fads and trends.

Plus, what common Master Bedroom furnishing keeps Darren Palmer up at night?

They’re the Block’s can-do quiet achievers, but are Kyle and Leslie always as upbeat and drama free as they appear? They delve into the agonising decisions behind this week’s living and dining room week, regrets, bouncing back from feedback, plans for the future and what Blockhead division feels like from the sidelines.

Plus, who’s this year’s favourite for Foreman Dan? And could he ever see himself back on the Block?

It was a blockbuster bathroom week made of stylish moves (breakdancing competition not included).

Shaynna Blaze had plenty of praise, but we’ll find out which pieces of advice she feels she’s repeated again and again - and which house made a costly decision this week.

Then, they’re the Block’s prime pot-stirrers: Kristy and Brett will reveal their strategy coming into this season, how Brett is secretly messing with Foreman Keith, and whether there are plans to get back at Leah and Ash for this week’s nefarious gnome-wielding win.

They're the sister act that might be reno rookies but never fail to entertain. But what did Eliza and Liberty's parents (and other sister) make of their reality TV debut? What really gets said in the Block contestant group chat? And how are they rumbling with the judge's criticism?

Speaking of judges, Marty Fox reveals the reasons behind his comments, as well as naming the thing that 'might win you a room but lose you the Block'...

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The tones of their clothes might be neutral, but there was nothing neutral about the reaction highschool sweethearts Steph and Gian received in their first few weeks on the Block! They tell their side of the story, whether they were ever tempted to pack it all in, how they managed their comeback and what it’s like working with someone you’ve been together with for over 14 years!

Plus, judge Darren Palmer reveals the secrets to putting a bit of ‘soul’ and ‘luxe’ into a room and why winning the Block auction might come down to one crucial element…

It's only been a week, but already the Block has been chock-full of contention, confrontation and curve-aliscious designs. It's been House 3's Leah and Ash in the center of it all and Shelley's not afraid to ask them the hard questions (as well as have a bit of fun). 
Plus, before that, the newest kid on the Block, Marty Fox, draws on his wealth of real estate knowledge to answer a crucial question: what does the buyer really want?
