Bathrooms and bedrooms are completed tonight in the first challenge apartment reveal. Three teams walk away with a cash prize. There’s $15,000 for first place, $10,000 for second place and $5000 for third place.

Friendships are put to the test and costly mistakes are made as the teams struggle to get along while they work side by side in the same apartment. Scotty organises a fun-filled challenge with a chance to win the services of a professional painter.

Tensions are high as Suzi and Vonni feel let down by the other teams. Keith and Dan organise a surprise breakfast for one lucky team celebrating a special anniversary. All the teams need and want the prize money on offer, $15,000, $10,000 and $5000.

Scotty meets the Blockheads and introduces their final challenge. There are ten rooms to renovate and the teams must each take on two rooms. The budget will be tight and a treasurer is appointed to oversee how every dollar will be spent.

This episode marks the end of nine hard weeks of renovating and the teams are exhausted but ecstatic to reveal their completed apartments to the judges

There are just 72 hours of renovating before the five apartments are due for completion and the contestants are busy finishing their terraces and re-do rooms. Its a crucial week for all the teams, and for one couple a fight with their builder reaches boiling point.

As terrace week continues the teams must also take into consideration their re-do rooms, as decided by the judges. Caro and Kingi’s only task is to find another sofa but Dean and Shay have an entire living room to create! A body corporate meeting takes place and the teams have trouble making a unanimous decision.

Tonight the teams inspect each other’s completed dining rooms and foyers, and Kingi and Caro aren’t happy with the judge’s scores. The contestants get on with planning and shopping for their terraces.

As a gruelling eighth week of renovating draws to an end, the contestants do their best to complete their dining rooms and foyers. For some of our contestants, it is a disappointing end to the week.

Suzi and Vonni face budget woes but they have some money saving ideas that they want to run by Keith. Caro goes shopping for some high end art to dress her dining room. Luke falls ill and doesn’t get his floors prepared in time for his tradesmen.
