The five Block teams, Tom and Sarah-Jane, Rachel and Ryan, Ankur and Sharon, Dylan and Jenny and Omar and Oz, undertake the huge task of renovating country houses in keeping with the heritage building features.
The five multimillion-dollar farmhouses under construction on The Block have been officially listed for sale – and the price guides are the highest ever in the show’s history.
The house sales could potentially smash sale records in Gisborne, with each property listed at around four times Gisborne's median house price.

House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's garden
This week's winners had the benefit of numerous wins across the course of the season, which gave them ample budget to show off their design flare. Sarah Jane said, "we've got areas coming out of our hoo-has!"
Included in this list was a chicken coop, circular driveway, mini basketball court, olive grove, shipping container 'adult's playhouse', and of course a pool and deck.
"The landscaping's been beautifully planned and zoned; they've added so much value," said Darren Palmer, adding it was "the most extreme entertainment area I've ever seen on The Block".

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's garden
Despite not finishing their exterior, the judges were positive about the space created by Rachel and Ryan, calling their vineyard (a first on The Block) a "gamechanger".
They loved the kid-friendly inclusions from the flying fox to the swing set and even had ideas for House Two being a luxe retreat, perfect for events and short-term accommodation.
Shaynna did admit to feeling a tad panicked over the "un-resolved" garden but was otherwise fairly complementary.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's garden
Sadly, for House Three, the judges' compliments seemed to all but evaporate when they saw just how unfinished their exterior and gardens were.
Blaming uncooperative tradies and supply-chain shortages, the pair had to work through the night (again) to get to the point they did, which didn't have much of an effect on the judges.
The lack of connection between the pool and the verandah was one criticism from the judges who criticized the placement of the pool and called it poorly planned.
One bright spot for the judges was the kitchen garden, as well as the million-dollar views of the Macedon Ranges.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's garden
Dylan and Jenny revealed an impressive space despite Jenny's hospital trip after falling through the unfinished deck and a number of unfinished projects still to complete - with a huge veggie garden, hot and cold spas, tiered leveling, a tiny house, beehives and a ginormous lawn.
"There is so much excitement and happiness and joy here," said Shaynna. "It's definitely selling the dream."
They were impressed at the fact that the self-contained tiny house made this project a 6-bedroom home, offering a money-making venture for its new owners - should they want it.
The pool deck at House Four won praise from the judges. Picture: Channel Nine

House 5: Omar and Oz's garden
Omar and Oz went hell for leather in the final week of competition, delivering big with a huge shipping container pool, which was dubbed "pool-of-the-day", basketball and tennis courts, and a mini-golf course.
The judges agreed that the boys pulled off a stunning project in a home that was the last one to be picked in the competition.

Tom and Sarah Jane | 26 | 1 | $23,209 |
House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's shed and home office space
Yet another win this week saw Tom and Sarah Jane ticking all the boxes with the judges who were all a bit awe-struck when it came time to tour Tom and Sarah Jane's shed, which came complete with a $50k freestanding cellar.
The working-from-home space above was described as "architectural" by the judges, who generally were fans of what Tom and Sarah Jane had created.
The comment from Alyssa was that the cellar should have been integrated a little more. Picture: Channel Nine

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's shed and home office space
The winery-themed shed at Rachel and Ryan's place was a hit with the judges, who adored the vast ceiling height and exposed brick walls.
"You know that feeling you get when you walk into a room," added Alisa. "I've got it, and I don't want to leave."
The only criticism was the modern fireplace, with the twins wanting a more rustic vibe to compliment the countryside outside.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's shed and home office space House
The stunning space served up by Ankur and Sharon in shed week was marred by the failure to provide a power point in their working from home space.
"That is an epic fail," said Lysandra.
They were also saddened by the pair's decision to put the fireplace (which they loved) in a spot that blocked out the stunning view of the Macedon ranges.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's shed and home office space
Dylan and Jenny's usual high standards were let down slightly with their shed space, with the room being overtaken by an enormous TV, which, according to the judges makes this a great cinema space.

House 5: Omar and Oz's shed and home office space
Despite not finishing their space this week the boys did their best to impress the judges with their shed and home office space.
Their hard work certainly paid off with the judges agreeing the space would be a key selling feature once complete.

House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's guest bedroom and redo living room
Taking out the top spot yet again, this time tied with Rachel and Ryan, House 1 now has an unbeatable position when it comes to who gets to decide the order of November 6's auctions.
The pair once again used tartan in their guest bedroom and the judges were there for it. Neale complimented them on taking a punt and with the rattan headboard, which paid off beautifully.
Tom and Sarah Jane also chose to redo their living room after the judges described it as having no heart or soul.

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's guest bedroom and redo guest bedroom
Tying with House 1 for first place, Rachel and Ryan impressed the judges once again this week.
Their guest bedroom embraced warm tones and natural textures and the judges said it "totally tones in with the landscape outside the window, but it kind of wraps itself around you," added Neale. "It feels warm and inviting."
Keeping in the bedroom theme, the pair decided to redo their first guest bedroom and both Darren and Shaynna loved the new four-poster bed and peacock green feature wall. Neale was unimpressed.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's guest bedroom and redo dining room
Adding extra pressure to an already heated situation, Ankur and Sharon had to have all their costs approved by Scotty this week as they'd hit their budget limit a while back and currently sit $53,000 in the red.
With that said, the paid did an epic job of repurposing items from elsewhere in the house, including an unwanted bedhead from Omar and Oz. The judges described the guest bedroom as "nice". Ouch.
The dining room had another week in the spotlight, with the judges not giving their first effort much love.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's guest bedroom and redo room
Missing out on the top spot by just half a point, Dylan and Jenny did impress the judges with their guest bedroom and dining room redo.
Their guest bedroom this week was full of texture and relaxing tones.
Their dining room saw a modern pendant and fan in place of a nanna-esque chandelier - which is what Jenny wanted to do in the first place.

Omar and Oz impressed the judges with the amount they managed to achieve this week, delivering their final guest bedroom.
"When the boys are good, they're really good," commented Neale.
Omar and Oz tackled a guest bathroom, main bedroom wardrobe, mud room among other spaces throughout the house.

House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's kid's bedroom reveal
The judges loved Tom and Sarah-Jane’s styling but felt they’d used the wrong shade of green on their walls.
“It feels like perfection with a few imperfections,” Shaynna enthused.

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's kids bedroom reveal
Neale loved the art stations he found in Ryan and Rachel’s room, recalling how he used to love playing with playdough as a boy.
Darren and Shaynna were impressed that the couple had relied on cheap and cheerful furniture to fill the space.
“There’s a lot of flat pack and that’s totally appropriate because it’s a kids’ room and they’ll grow out of it,” Darren noted.
The kid's room styling took the judges back to their own childhoods. Picture: Channel Nine
House 3: Ankur and Sharon's guest bedroom reveal
The judges were mystified by Sharon and Ankur’s room which was decidedly less OTT than the rest of their house (perhaps due to Scotty cutting up their credit cards).
Earlier Scott had admonished the couple for just spending money with no thought about who would ultimately pay the tab.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's guest bedroom reveal
After weeks and weeks of not tasting victory, Dylan and Jenny took out their second of the competition – including a perfect score of 10 from Neale Whitaker – for their whimsical kids’ bedroom.
Fellow judges Darren Palmer and Shaynna Blaze were also impressed by the Gold Coast couple’s styling, with Shaynna entranced by the lighting and Darren impressed by the pared-back bed styling.

House 5: Omar and Oz's guest bedroom reveal
The boys had decided to go against the crowd and had created a TV room rather than a children’s room.
Darren said it was a mistake because a farmhouse – where people would have a lot of guests staying -- needed more bedrooms.
While Shaynna argued their biggest mistake was the cabinetry wall, which was not only unnecessary but had made it difficult to repurpose the space as anything else.
Omar and Oz made the questionable decision to instead create a secondary living area instead of a kid's room. Picture: Channel Nine

House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's hallway, mud room and laundry
Coming in second place this week, Tom and Sarah Jane managed to impress the judges with their use of tartan, which was lovingly stroked by Shaynna, and their choice of artwork.
Although surprised at the awkward placement of the fireplace and some armchairs in the front entrance the judges were overall impressed with the resulting rooms, with Neil complimenting their ability to fill "super enormous huge" spaces where others have struggled.

Coming in third, Rachel and Ryan's mammoth week failed to produce a finished space, but the judges were positive about their lighting design, storage and some (not all) of the artwork.
Scotty even complimented the pair, saying their house was one of the contenders for best houses on The Block 2022.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's hallway, mud room and laundry
It was all-out war between contestants Ankur and Sharon and their tradies this week, with Sharon making her feelings crystal clear while on the phone with a friend: "“They’re lazy, they don’t want to work past 5 o’clock, they just want to leave, one of them doesn’t want to work on Saturday.”
Despite the ongoing drama the pair did manage to create three spaces this week that were almost complete.
They divided the judges with their design choices, with Neale describing it as 'gothic camp'; Shaynna gasping in horror and Darren deciding he liked it in the end.
Shaynna called their hallway design "a dog's breakfast". Picture: Channel Nine

Darren couldn't get enough of their design choices, saying: "That rug is heaven…the flooring is gorgeous…I love these pendant lights…I love their art choice, I love this hallway."
Straight off the top, Darren loved the hallway. Picture: Channel Nine
The mud room hit all the right notes. Picture: Channel Nine

House 5: Omar and Oz's hallway, mud room and laundry
Omar and Oz indeed fell victim to "hell week", so named for the extremely long to-do list for three separate and fiddly spaces.
They struggled with tiling and cupboard installations, but despite this, they managed to impress the judges with the resulting rooms with Neale complimenting the pair on creating a house full of "interesting contrasts".
Shaynna was horrified at the lack of a finished powder room, however, with loose tiles on the floor and no styling whatsoever.

House 1: Tom and Sarah Jane's living room
The couple had the biggest space to work with this week and, on the whole, the room was a hit because it had the perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary living.
“I feel like I am staring at a magazine cover. On the cover of a magazine this would sell its socks off,” Neale exclaimed.

The couple were awarded perfect scores from both Neale Whitaker and Shaynna Blaze for their efforts.
In fact, Shaynna was so impressed by what she saw that she literally started shouting to the heavens in delight.
“Yes! They’ve done it, they have put home and warmth and personality into this space,” Shaynna shouted as she walked into the room.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's living room
It had been an uphill battle for Sharon and Ankur to be able to present anything this week after locking horns yet again with their builders.
Unfortunately, even with a finished stone fireplace, Sharon and Ankur still finished bottom of the pile.
Shaynna liked the couple’s rustic beams and antler lighting but couldn’t see much worth looking at on the ground.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's living room
The trio of judges were left momentarily lost for words upon entering the room. And not in a good way. Their reactions were a bit of a shock to the system for Jenny who had thought that this week would finally be their turn to shine. How wrong she was.
“It feels kind of ordinary,” Neale said, clearly underwhelmed and confused by the bland and old-fashioned furnishings.

House 5: Omar and Oz's living room
The piano that Omar and Oz got for a song wasn’t quite the grand design they’d envisaged. Instead, the duo was accused of cheating, penalised three points from their overall score and disqualified from winning simply because their bartering skills were too sharp.
Apparently, The Block guidelines stated that contestants must pay at least 50 per cent of the retail value of anything they put in their rooms.
“You can’t go spending $7000 on a piano and stick it in a room and expect me to let that slide boys,” a stern Scott said.

House 1: Tom and Sarah-Jane's kitchen
"Wow" just didn't cut it for the judges when it came to Tom and Sarah-Jane's kitchen.
The winners, with three perfect 10s, are Tom and Sarah-Jane, for their freestanding copper-toned range with a built-in pot-filler, double barn doors to their butler’s pantry, rose gold fridge and a mixture of different metals on handles and light-fittings.
“That is mastery,” Darren Palmer says of the $31,956 room.

“It is a kitchen without a soul,” Shaynna Blaze said of the pair's kitchen. “All the boxes have been ticked but I was expecting to see some kind of drama.”
Neale is even harsher.
“This kitchen and its butler’s pantry is a collection of cupboards, drawers and shelves,” he said.
This time though, Ryan and Rachel admit they didn’t present a room they 100 per cent loved themselves.

They went for polished concrete floors, timber feature ceiling, enormous concrete island with galley sink and built-in bar in their $30,492 kitchen.
It’s unashamedly modern, and dramatic.

It was Sarah-Jane and Tom by a gnome for the win.
Without using their bonus point gnome, the tempestuous twosome’s tartan bedroom and toffee-hued ensuite would have tied for first place with Omar and Oz’s serenely styled rooms.

The fact that Omar and Oz finished at all, let alone in second place was a feat in itself considering that less than 24 hours earlier they didn’t have a single tile on the walls.
Somehow, they found the time and energy to get the job done. And true to form, Oz even managed to do some of his signature toilet paper origami.

The judges were less impressed with the finishings in Sharon and Ankur’s rooms. To say it’s been a difficult week for the pair would be an understatement.
It’s been one tanty after another as the couple railed against accusations, they weren’t pulling their weight.
At the end of the day, all that time spent weeping, napping on the roadside and storming off the set would have been better spent painting. Or cleaning mirrors. Or sweeping the floors.
On close inspection of their room, Neale said he could see “suggestions of trauma” scattered everywhere, noting the bottle of spray and wipe and vacuum that had been stashed in the cupboard.

House 1: Tom and Sarah-Jane's main bedroom and walk-in robe
Triumph for Tom and Sarah-Jane, who, between hilarious fights, have come up with something the judges love.
Their $26,127 cosy space has a wood-burning stove, olive green feature wall, wainscotting and rattan bed head.
The judges struggle to come up with a single criticism. Shaynna’s the only one who can find one — she thinks the fact the walk-in robe has entirely open shelving and hanging space is impractical given it can be seen from the bed.
Neale gives the room the pair’s first perfect 10.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's main bedroom and walk-in robe
Jenny and Dylan have spent $25,170 on their main bedroom, where entry is via double doors into a white and timber walk-in robe.
The judges agree that entering a bedroom via a walk-in robe isn’t something that should work, but it does.
Unfortunately the robe’s perfect styling and island isn’t quite matched by what’s behind it.

Ankur and Sharon may have been winners in any other week thanks to their $35,649 glam French-inspired master and walk-in robe.
Sharon has spent $500 at the Salvation Army for a genuine antique bureau and bedside tables and positioned the bed to make the most of views of Mt Macedon.

House 5: Omar and Oz's main bedroom and walk-in robe
Omar and Oz go from heroes to zeros this week.
After the highs of their magnificent ensuite and main bathrooms, they’re languishing at the back of the pack, due to a cluttered $22,560 master bedroom with cheap shelving and an ottoman that blocks the entry to their ensuite.
The judges quite like the way they reused their home’s original fretwork to create an entrance to a study nook, but with the 15 cent brackets, collection of op shop paperbacks, plant and desk, they’ve overcrowded it.

House 1: Tom and Sarah-Jane's ensuite
The judges had positive things to say about the pair's ensuite reveal, with Darren even breaking into song when he first caught sight of their cheery, green ensuite.
Neale was equally impressed, saying: “What I am feeling again in Tom and Sarah-Jane’s room, and I have felt it several times already in their rooms is confidence. They know exactly how they want their home to feel, and they know exactly how they want their home to feel against that landscape.”

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's ensuite
Rather the judges were disappointed to see that the two tradies had failed to finish the room properly.
Little did they know that the Gold Coast couple had been up against it this week thanks to two work stoppages, an AWOL tiler and issues with their tile deliveries.

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's ensuite
Darren loved the much talked-about splash back tiles, the timber cabinetry and the shower details. He felt the pair were ultimately let down by “oppressive” wall tiles, which marred an otherwise joyful room.
Shaynna agreed, suggesting that if they’d carried the sage green feature tiling in the shower through onto the walls it would have been a “completely different room.”
She also warned them that she would continue to mark them down for sticking to their guns with the modern styling.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's ensuite
While they were delighted by the theatrics and personality of the couple’s styling, Shaynna pointed out that their double-sided fireplace offered a bird’s eye view of someone on the loo from the next-door bedroom.

House 5: Omar and Oz's ensuite
Omar and Oz were crowned “kings of the bathroom” with a compact, but country club spa-inspired space that left judges Shaynna Blaze and Neale Whitaker moaning and groaning.

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's guest room
Wanting this pair to get 'more country', the judges loved the timber panelling featured on the guest bedroom wall.
House 3: Ankur and Sharon's guest room
Taking out top spot this week, Ankur and Sharon came back from a fairly catastrophic week prior.
"This is a charming room full of beautiful traditional touches and a lovely colour palette" said Darren.
House 5: Omar and Oz's guest room
Failing to impress this week, Omar and Oz were too busy planning for next week even to bother laying carpet.
Shaynna Blaze worried it wouldn't work in a cool climate.

House 3: Ankur and Sharon's main bathroom
This reveal saw a Neighbour's star reduced to tears.
Admitting that House three was her favourite property on The Block this year, Shaynna ranted that Sharon and Ankur were not showing the “old dame” the respect she deserved with their choices.

House 4: Dylan and Jenny's main bathroom
Sharing second place, both Jenny and Dylan, and Sara-Jane and Tom’s bathrooms nailed the blend of old and new.

House 2: Rachel and Ryan's main bathroom
Despite going into their first challenge late but hugely confident, Ryan and Rachel’s hopes of winning were dashed.
Mostly because they hadn’t been privy to the challenge room feedback that the judges were looking for rooms that honoured the home’s heritage.
