It’s that stage of The Block where all the contestants are being nice to each other, and that means when they visit one another’s bathrooms there’s nothing but positivity and good vibes.

Even Kylie and Brad’s polarising black and neon pink bathroom gets the other contestants’ tick of approval.

“I really like it. I’m obsessed,” Mimi says, her attention grabbed by the black toilet.

Her partner and apparent plop inspector Kristian is less convinced.

“If you did a poo, how are you going to see it?” he asks.

“I’d be concerned if your poo was black,” Mimi notes.

Kristian and Mimi share a romantic moment discussing poo colours.

Aside from room inspections, the teams are working on their guest bedrooms, with a handful of teams doing kids’ rooms.

Kylie and Brad have sensibly decided to pare back their all-black theme and are just using black as highlights in their teenager room, but they’re also paring back on warmth, with Kylie deciding to run wood flooring throughout the home, including the bedrooms.

It’s a decision that might come to haunt them with various people reminding her that Phillip Island is bitterly cold in winter.

Courtney and Grant are cooking up a scheme to break their contract and hotfoot it to a hotel.

“I think I want to go home,” she complains. “I can’t camp for another week. My back is literally killing me.”

But the only actual contract broken this week is that between Kristian and the law, when he decides to forge foreman Dan’s signature on a demolition permit in order to get things moving on his site.

Dan is understandably furious.

“I’ve been doing this for 11 series. Nobody’s ever forged my signature. There’s going to be a penalty,” he says.

Dan talks to Kristian and Mimi about the forged demo permit.

The only person more unimpressed than Dan that Kristian forged his signature is Mimi.


Mimi promptly throws him under the bus, telling Dan if she’d known what Kristian was doing she’d have put a stop to it.

“I’m really embarrassed. It’s so childish, man,” she says.

“It’s not childish, it’s stupid,” Kristian counters unhelpfully.

In the end the penalty is just a one-hour reduction in their onsite working hours, which hardly seems like a punishment corresponding to fraud.

Kristian isn’t the only one having arguments this week. Paige is having one too, with herself.

As she heads out to go shopping, she’s ranting and moaning about her partner Jesse, who has had the temerity to stay on site and get going on demolition work.

Paige tells her car how much she’s currently hating her partner Jesse,


“I just feel I’m dealing with a child,” she tells herself. “He’s like ‘oh, I have so much to do’. Shut up! Everyone has too much to do. Then he makes it sound like I’m the hard to deal with person.”

By the time she gets back though, her one woman in-car whinge session is forgotten, because Jesse has managed to purchase a bed for their guest room.

“You’ve been so f…ing sexy,” Paige tells him. “I wish we weren’t in a tent.”

All of which goes to prove her later assessment of herself is accurate.

“I go from zero to 100 really really quickly, but I also go from 100 to zero really really quickly,” she says.

Lucky Jesse.
