Who doesn’t love a good roast?

Britt and Taz, that’s who. Meanwhile Han and Can seemed to be completely baffled by the entire concept.

I am not talking about the traditional meat and three veg here, but rather the grand old art of taking people down a peg or two with some witty barbs performed in front of a live audience.

Dean Martin was the master of this sort of entertainment. Our Blockheads, not so much.

But there were plenty of incentives to get good at it – aside from not looking a complete fool in front of a live audience – and that came in the form of prizes.

The team which did the best job at roasting the other participants got to take home $5000 cash, a $50,000 outdoor fireplace and a bonus point.

After downing some cocktails for a quick surge of liquid courage, Taz and Britt did a passable job at roasting (made better by some clever costuming that tugged at the locals’ heartstrings).

Britt and Taz try and bribe the local audience with their footy tops.

Ben and Emma took the unorthodox approach of mocking the audience. While Han and Can spent their time at the mic, telling everyone how much they loved them prompting Scotty Cam to begin heckling them to up their game from the audience.

“God, wasn’t that boring!” Robby announced as he took to the stage after Can and Han’s love fest.

Predictably, the boys dominated the stage with an effortless array of jokes made at the expense of the other teams. Their only rivals were Sonny and Alicia, who also brought their A Game with some hilarious banter about Emma’s pole dancing.

Ultimately though (and to Sonny’s displeasure) the boys came out the winners.

Robby and Mat didn’t win any points with Foreman Dan though when they took off shopping together rather than staying on site to help insulate the room.

Dan didn’t believe that TV shopping was a two-man job and feared they would not have the money to complete their much-hyped wine cellar if they didn’t knuckle down.

“It’s only 12 weeks of pain for something that could set you up for the rest of your life,” Dan argued.

Alicia was feeling every one of those weeks of hard slog as the group headed into living and dining room week.

Alicia is unimpressed with what the judges had to say about her main bedroom.

Missing her three kids, Alicia was also still smarting from the judges’ comments about their main bedroom on Sunday night.

Can was also in a tailspin over the harsh feedback on her styling. Conversely Han was in an uncharacteristic state of Zen.

After five weeks of tears and taking to her bed when things had gone awry, Han wasn’t even ruffled when it was revealed their concrete slab was uneven and would need additional work to repair.

She barely raised an eyebrow when those repair efforts went wrong. Twice.

Has she turned over a new leaf? Or has Can resorted to slipping something into her McCoffee?

Everyone will need to keep calm and keep going to get their massive spaces finished by Sunday.

Front of mind for Mat and Robby was keeping their wine cellar under wraps. And hiding a hole that big was proving easier than anticipated. All it took was some strategically placed plastic sheets.

The pair were stunned that none of their neighbours (apart from Emma and Ben) had noticed any of the digging work.

“They are all really lovely people but where are your eyes?” Mat quipped, stunned that nobody had noticed their massive excavation site.

“We have got fences and black tarps in our house. Either it’s a murder or a hole.”

The Block’s resident police, Britt and Taz, were not remotely close to unearthing this mystery.

Having won big with their bedroom, the West Australians were too busy splashing the cash around on their living and dining space, which would feature a wooden ceiling and an intricate stone fireplace. To help them on the Tetris puzzle of brick work they recruited the Alicia and Sonny’s tilers, the Cursio brothers.

“It’s bold, but we have also just won $30k so we have to put that to some good use. We also want to double down for the wins. And like Marty Fox said, we need to make every week rememberable. Is that a word?”

Can is devastated by last night’s judge’s feedback.

No. It’s not. But Taz will be (re) memorable, even if his stone fireplace isn’t.

Conversely, season bridesmaids Emma and Ben are keeping their room simple and budget friendly with a Venetian plaster fireplace their one major feature.

To help the more skint teams get their homes finished, Scotty Cam revealed a lifeline. Unveiling a wall of lurid orange levers and flashing lights that looked like it had been found in a skip filled with old sets from The Price is Right, Cam said Hipages would provide each team with $10,000 worth of trades.

The only catch would be that the teams would have to decide this week which service they wanted and when they needed them. And nobody could use the same service.

Everybody was keen to nab the help with landscaping. Who will win that battle remains to be seen. Game on.
