They weren't as over budget as they'd feared. Now, this is impressive!
They had a little bit of help, but all the ideas were theirs and they are happy with the end result.
Day 17 To say they are upset is an understatement. Reading the paper this morning has mortified Matt and Jane. Matt thinks it is solely media pressure which has forced them to leave.
Jane is on the verge of tears as she comes to terms with the fact that they have left. She is glad they weren't told in advance, as she would have tried to convince them to stay. This is an upset to the dynamics and has left a void. "Their strength is amazing." dialup

Room almost ready Not all the shopping is done, which is worrying Matt. They very quickly duck in and do some last-minute accessorising, then it's back to add the finishing touches to their room: dialup

Day 18 While they go to work, John McGrath is in to judge all the rooms. This time he is not alone. He has other judges with him for the first room reveal, previous Block winners Fiona and Adam. See how the rooms are judged: dialup

And the winner is… Finally, the moment they've waited for, the announcement of the winner. As Jamie proceeds, they are not thrilled to hear that the winners for the first room reveal are Kirsten and Jason: dialup

They did however manage to talk it out and have a drink together after the meeting: dialup

They feel quite cheated by this and discuss the fact that they feel that this prize should be given to Dani and Monique. After a long and tumultuous discussion, Kirsten and Jason make their decision, they are going to keep the prize. Matt and Jane just want to get on with renovating now and hopefully play a game that keeps them all on a level playing field.
10.30pm Matt strolls in after having a drink with Richard to discover they have new neighbours. They are thrilled to welcome them.
