It’s Room Reveal Sunday on The Block 2025, and this week, the stakes are higher than ever with a double room reveal. Ten rooms are on display, and nearly $200,000 in prizes, including a complete set of kitchen appliances from E&S, are up for grabs. As anticipation builds, the judges are ready to deliver their verdicts, and not everyone is prepared for the feedback.
Before the drama unfolds, a heartwarming moment takes place on Saturday. Foreman Dan and his wife Dani share the touching story of their late daughter Billie, prompting host Scott Cam and the teams to rally around them. A Bunnings barbecue fundraiser for Billie’s Besties raises over $2,600, despite a few burnt sausages courtesy of Scotty.
Emma and Ben: Daylesford Charm Meets Critique
Emma and Ben aim to infuse their rooms with Daylesford personality, hoping the judges appreciate their efforts. In their boys’ room, Marty Fox critiques the dark navy wallpaper, while Shaynna Blaze praises its richness and texture. Darren Palmer sides with Shaynna, noting the room’s interest and punch. However, Marty finds the space lacking memorability for potential buyers.
Their second room fares better with Marty, who appreciates its softness and marketability. However, the paneling, a last-minute solution to a wallpaper mishap, raises eyebrows. The room’s layout also presents practical issues, with wardrobe drawers obstructed by bed placement. Despite these concerns, the judges commend the room’s color, pattern, and creativity.
Han and Can: Bold Choices and Mixed Reactions
Han and Can take bold risks, including a cloud-shaped bedhead and hardwood floors. Marty is impressed by the bedhead’s potential to stand out in photographs, but Shaynna remains reserved. She acknowledges the individual elements’ appeal but feels the overall effect is overwhelming. Darren appreciates the room’s versatility, while Marty worries the nursery theme might not appeal to the market.
In their second room, the judges question the curviness of the recessed bedhead but commend the design risk. Shaynna highlights the room’s “Wes Anderson vibes,” suggesting it could become a destination house with further refinement.
Britt and Taz: A Winning Combination
Britt and Taz’s efforts to incorporate Week 1 feedback pay off, with their kids’ rooms receiving high praise. Darren is immediately impressed by their first room’s wall feature, representing Daylesford’s rolling hills. The judges admire the room’s styling, including salmon and terracotta hues and Aboriginal artwork.
The second room continues to impress, with its neutral color palette and whimsical elements. Marty compares their work to 2023 winners Steph and Gian, noting the room’s playful yet sophisticated mood. The sports-themed elements, like soccer balls and a basketball hoop, add to the room’s appeal.
Robby and Mat: A Room Reveal Roast
Robby and Mat’s rooms face a harsh critique, with Marty likening one to an “upmarket nursing home.” The judges appreciate the vibrant styling in the first room but note rushed finishes due to Hardie Groove Cladding. The second room’s styling choices, including a floor mirror and table lamp, draw laughter and criticism from the judges.
Despite the roasting, Robby and Mat take the feedback in stride, joking about the room’s appeal to grandmothers. Unfortunately, their efforts don’t secure them a win this week, with Britt and Taz taking the top spot with a score of 28.
Emma and Ben: 25.5
Han and Can: 24
Britt and Taz: 28
Sonny and Alicia: 24.5
Robby and Mat: 20.5
Sonny and Alicia earn $10,000 for best managing their budget, marking another successful week for the team. As the competition moves into Week 3, the focus shifts to bathrooms, promising more challenges and surprises ahead.
