The Block - Mon-Fri 7pm, Ch9 http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/theblock/ How the teams have made it this far is beyond me. It's only day 21. It's been a big week for the Blockheads, working hard to deliver both a Master bedroom and an Ensuite and the chaos that has ensued has been both diverting and entertaining. It's made us laugh AND it's made us think. How they'll make it to the room reveal is beyond be, but - Here comes another one... BOOM! Sleep has become a complete waste of time for brothers Mike & Andrew - they've now been working for 25 hours straight with lots still to do. The pink elephants helping them paint the room at least ease … [Read more...]

The Block - Mon-Fri 7pm, Ch9 http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/theblock/ So much tension. So much stress. So much drama. Someone's gonna blow, and I hope for all that is holy it's Dan or Dani - not for any malicious reason, just because I'd expect if they lost their shit it'd be a delightful thing to observe. Think of the words we'd learn! Everyone's under the pump and everyone's in a position where they may not get both their Master bedroom AND Ensuite completed for this week's room reveal. A coup! Everyone bands together, rises up and refuses to deliver both rooms!? There's only two days left and someone's gonna have an aneurism. Here comes … [Read more...]

The Block - Mon-Fri 7pm, Ch9 http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/theblock/ It's the middle of Hell Week, where someone might end up in the Blockomless Pit (Oh. My. God.), and what better way to get the teams focused on the task at hand than to send them offsite for the day to work on a challenge in Scotty's Workshop. What a guy. And fancy that - in the midst of the chaos, someone doesn't complete a challenge, for the first time in the history of The Block. There goes all the thoughts that grab played earlier in the week was about someone not delivering a room. Here comes another one... BOOM! For the record, the mobile number that sends the text … [Read more...]

The Block - Mon-Fri 7pm, Ch9 http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/theblock/ As if one night in Sovereign Hill wasn't enough, the contestants get another one! This time though it's all about that great Australian past time: gambling. Once they all get back to The Block though, it's attitudes at 20 paces as the teams realise they've got an awful lot of work to do and they've lost tonnes of time filming some other distraction. At least it makes for good TV, even if it raises tensions and fractures in otherwise healthy relationships. Here comes another one... BOOM! It's the morning after the night before, and everyone's enjoying a nice sleep-in and … [Read more...]

The Block - Mon-Fri 7pm, Ch9 http://homes.ninemsn.com.au/theblock/ With the first room delivered everyone is sizing up the targets on Dan & Dani's backs... once they get back from Sovereign Hill. WTF?! Aren't they meant to be renovating, not a-cussin' and a-feudin'? I guess the lure of $10,000 is enough to make any struggling, sleep-deprived competitive renovator rethink their strategy. Here comes another one... BOOM! What better way for the teams to bond and celebrate Dan & Dani's victory than to share a BBQ which is more a case of Russian roulette - which sausages will give you food poisoning!? Scotty appears to remind them this week … [Read more...]
