Every year The Block rolls around, I tell myself: I will not watch hours upon hours of home renovations again. Watching people decide on throw pillows and fight over power tools is boring. And I am important and have so many better things to do. Instead, I will spend my precious hours doing something productive. Like learning Spanish! Or writing a novel! Or decorating my OWN apartment, which is currently covered in a light dusting of crumbs.
I told myself all these things, but then a hammock-sleeping human named ‘Wombat’ stumbled onto my television screen. Long story short, I’m locked in for another year of exposed wooden beams and rose gold taps.
Because I care very little about what happens between Monday to Thursday on this show, I will be recapping Sunday episodes, the only time when anything of slight importance happens.
You might notice that today is absolutely not a Sunday, and before we even begin I have gone rogue, but take it up with the Channel Nine producers/Scott Cam who rudely interrupted my schedule and gave the contestants a 48-hour spare bedroom challenge.
TO THE ROOM REVEALS!
Last place: Clint and Hannah
Theme: Grandma's lavender haven of no thank you

Clint and Hannah's spare bedroom
Welcome to the spare bedroom that Clint and Hannah were weirdly proud of, but kinda looks like a three-star bed and breakfast in Tasmania.

Anyone else finding Georgia as this years bad guy? She's not impressing me with her attitude so far!
My faves are Josh and Elyse! Followed closely by Clint (alone) BECAUSE DID YOU SEE HIM RUN OUT TO HELP THE ELDERLY WHO FELL DOWN?! STOP IT. He's so great.
I think they have gone with that. She seems certain in what she wants though, and obviously the block isn't exactly a normal situation, so in real life she probably seems confident and assertive, but it just doesn't come across that way on tv.
But she blew her nose on her sleeve! How gross was that?
Huh? I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference between the rooms that came in at first and last place....they are both more than a bit meh.
