The Block: Season 9

Budget Woes and Break-Ups

46min - There are just 72 hours of renovating before the five apartments are due for completion and the contestants are busy finishing their terraces and re-do rooms. Its a crucial week for all the teams, and for one couple a fight with their builder reaches boiling point.

Terraces and Re-Do Rooms Revealed

1h 4min - Tonight marks the end of nine hard weeks of renovating and the teams are exhausted but ecstatic to reveal their completed apartments to judges Darren, Shaynna and Neale. There's $10,000 prize money up for grabs and Scotty has a special announcement that no one is expecting.

One Apartment Five Couples

49min - Scotty meets the Blockheads and introduces their final challenge. There are ten rooms to renovate and the teams must each take on two rooms. The budget will be tight and a treasurer is appointed to oversee how every dollar will be spent.

Battle of the Builders

44min - Tensions are high as Suzi and Vonni feel let down by the other teams. Keith and Dan organise a surprise breakfast for one lucky team celebrating a special anniversary. All the teams need and want the prize money on offer this week, $15,000 for first place, $10,000 for second place, and $5,000 for third place.

Surprise Not to Miss

49min - Friendships are put to the test and costly mistakes are made as the teams struggle to get along while they work side by side in the same apartment. Scotty organises a fun-filled challenge with a chance to win the services of a professional painter.

Challenge Apartment Reveal

1h 3min - Bathrooms and bedrooms are completed tonight in the first challenge apartment reveal. Three teams walk away with a cash prize. There's $15,000 for first place, $10,000 for second place and $5,000 for third place. They have the option to spend the cash on their apartments or take it off their reserve price on auction day.

The Final Rooms Begin

51min - Tonight the teams begin work on their final rooms. When one team wants to move a wall to gain more space in their room, their friendly neighbours are willing to compromise, but there is a price to pay! Keith takes charge of the cafe downstairs and Dan steps up to supervise the rooftop.

Go Karting and Paint Partying

49min - There's a paint party on the communal roof top but not everyone attends. Dean, Kingi, Luke and Andrew challenge Keith and Dan to a go karting race and Suzi decides that installing insulation can be fun. The competition heats up as the final rooms are close to being revealed. Its a reflective time too as everyone works together on the roof top terrace.

Team Work Proves Difficult

51min - Working as a team has never been more important or difficult in the challenge apartment, particularly on the communal roof top. The judges are impressed by the completed cafe Mr Zen, as well as the roof top terrace. Scotty treats everyone to a party and Suzi treats herself to some pampering time.

Final Room Revealed

59min - Tonight marks the end of the renovating and each contestant must contribute an item to Scotty's time capsule which will be buried under The Block. The judges are impressed and the scores are high. One team wins a brand new Suzuki Vitara to be sold with their apartment on auction day, plus the first choice of auction order.

Opens for Inspection
