Tools down! All of the best and worst room reveals on The Block 2022 so far

Tom and Sarah-Jane

These two have been working for weeks on their landscaping and it showed. The judges were blown away by the final product, particular the container in front of a lake.

Omar and Oz

Darren thought Omar and Oz’s pool and pool area was the best of all the teams’. The tennis/basketball court was a particular standout, and the gardens were also impressive.

Rachel and Ryan

The vineyard was the highlight of Rachel and Ryan’s backyard. Darren was however concerned by the lack of steps from the balcony and the garden. The flying fox went down a treat with the judges.

Dylan and Jenny

Dylan and Jenny impressed the judges with their hot tub and ice bath. The gardens and balcony were also impressive. But Darren thought their furniture choices could be improved.

Ankur and Sharon

It wasn’t a great end for Ankur and Sharon, with their house extremely unfinished – particularly the garages which weren’t cladded. The judges did love the balcony, but thought everything was misplaced and planned poorly. The only silver lining was the market garden.

Scotty Cam

Scotty’s pool and pool area.

Tom and Sarah-Jane

Despite the wine fridge being an eye-sore, the judges were besotted with Tom and Sarah-Jane’s room. They loved the mezzanine, which made the space both a work from home office and a guest living space.

Rachel and Ryan

Rachel and Ryan’s Grafico wallpaper was an instant hit. The space was a living area, bar, and adult’s room, then a work from home space. There was a small debate as to whether the couple should have focused more on the latter.

Omar and Oz

The judges weren’t fans of the artwork in the space. But other than that, they thought it was an impressive effort from Omar and Oz. Once completed, the glamorous man cave will add a lot of value to house number five.

Dylan and Jenny

The judges were immediately captured by the 98-inch TV in house number two. The functional work from home space and extra living area lacked any sort of wow factor and was a bit “under cooked”.

Sharon and Ankur

It wasn’t a good week from Ankur and Sharon. The desk looked like it belonged to the kitchen and there was a lack of power points. The one silver lining was the fireplace.

Tom and Sarah-Jane

The fabrics and wallpaper in the guest bedroom were a hit, as was their re-do room – the living and dining room. Neale thinks Tom and Sarah-Jane have the most consistent house on the show.

Rachel and Ryan

The only issue with Rachel and Ryan’s guest bedroom was the shelves. Their re-do room was their first bedroom; they changed the colour of the green wall as well as the furniture, and the judges were impressed.

Dylan and Jenny

The judges adored both Dylan and Jenny’s guest bedroom and re-do room, the latter of which was a complete change to contemporary.

Omar and Oz

The judges were fans of the Japanese Ski Lodge feel to Omar and Oz’s guest bedroom. The re-do master bedroom was also an improvement; the only issue was the functionality of the wardrobes.

Ankur and Sharon

The judges were not fans of Ankur and Sharon’s guest bedroom; they thought the colours and styling were unorganised. But their living room re-do room was much better.

Dylan and Jenny

Dylan and Jenny floored the judges with their guest bedroom. From top to bottom, the kids room was perfect.

Rachel and Ryan

Shaynna got emotional when seeing the three pieces of artwork that Rachel and Ryan’s three kids did hung up on the wall. All feedback from the judges was positive.

Tom and Sarah Jane

Tom and Sarah-Jame were praised for their beautiful styling in their nursery. And the baby clothes in the wardrobe was a sweet touch.

Ankur and Sharon

After some tough weeks, Ankur and Sharon received some positive feedback for their guest bedroom. But Shaynna was concerned the room was too different from the couple’s other rooms.

Omar and Oz

In a controversial decision, Omar and Oz produced a second living space rather than a fifth bedroom. According to the judges, it didn’t pay off.

Scott Cam

Scotty’s guest bedroom.

Dylan and Jenny

Dylan and Jenny’s hallway, mudroom and laundry impressed the judges, who deemed the rooms elegant and sophisticated. If they had completely finished the hallway then they would have received all tens from the judges.

Tom and Sarah-Jane

These Blockheads from the new and old house together with their hallway and the judges loved it. The laundry in particular was a hit.

Rachel and Ryan

The judges loved the entrance and the breezeway, but noticed it wasn’t finished.

Ankur and Sharon

Ankur and Sharon’s dramatic attempt failed to impress Shaynna, who said the hallway looked like “a cheap film set”. But the laundry and power room made up for it.

Omar and Oz

While it was a great effort from Omar and Oz, the boys failed to finish their mudroom. Plus, Shaynna questioned how they manage to afford everything.

Scott Cam

Scotty’s hallway, mudroom and laundry.

Rachel and Ryan

The judges were besotted with Rachel and Ryan’s living and dining area, saying that everything worked so well together.

Tom and Sarah Jane

When it came to Tom and Sarah Jane’s living and dining area, Shaynna loved the fireplace, and the timber beams were also a standout. But the judges were wary of the small furniture.

Omar and Oz

The judges loved Omar and Oz’s attempt, with the final result being sophisticated and elegant with a sense of grandeur. While they loved the piano, the judges questioned how the boys could afford it.

It turns out Omar and Oz got more than a $50,000 discount for the instrument, which is against Block rules. Scotty disqualified the boys from this round and stripped them of their points.

Dylan and Jenny

Dylan and Jenny failed to impress the judges who claimed their living and dining area lacked sophistication and had too much going on.

Ankur and Sharon

The judges thought nothing came together in Ankur and Sharon’s room, in particular the couch area and the dining table. Shaynna thinks this should be their re-do room.

Scott Cam

Scotty’s living and dining area.

Tom and Sarah Jane

The judges were obsessed with Tom and Sarah Jane’s kitchen, earning them a perfect score.

Dylan and Jenny

In what was deemed their best room yet, Dylan and Jenny greatly impressed the judges with their kitchen, who were delighted by the pair’s “emotional connection” to the space.

Omar and Oz

From the timber roof to the amazing sink and the incredible bar area, the judges thought Omar and Oz’s kitchen oozed drama. However, they are worried about how the boys are affording everything.

Rachel and Ryan

The judges thought Rachel and Ryan’s kitchen lacked soul and hated the pendant light, deeming the final result very clinical.

Ankur and Sharon

Despite their contentious Block journey, Ankur and Sharon impressed the judges with the black colour palette of their kitchen and huge island bench.

And then, of course, there was host Scotty’s kitchen!

Tom and Sarah-Jane

Tom and Sarah-Jane’s bedroom and bathroom was a huge hit with the judges, especially the bathroom tiles, Shaynna went so far as to say the pair could have a career in home design.

Omar and Oz

Omar and Oz continue to impress the judges with their rooms. The study nook in the bedroom was a particular standout, as were the bathroom tiles.

Rachel and Ryan

The judges were less than impressed with Rachel and Ryan’s bedroom which they said lacked wow factor and had some functionality issues. But their bold and unique bathroom was a big hit!

Dylan and Jenny

Dylan and Jenny’s bedroom was small yet impressive. But the judges felt the bathroom layout wasn’t quite up to scratch.

Ankur and Sharon

The scale and bones of Ankur and Sharon’s room was incredible, but the rooms weren’t finished and lacked styling in the wardrobe. The judges said that once finished, both rooms had real potential.

Scott Cam

Host Scotty Cam even revealed his bedroom and bathroom!

Tom and Sarah Jane

“Hello!” was the first word the judges said when greeted with Tom and Sarah Jane’s master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe. They were highly impressed and the pair ended up taking out the win for the week.

Ankur and Sharon

While the judges acknowledged Ankur and Sharon’s room was “a lot”, it paid off the the Blockheads. Shaynna loved the grandeur of the room but wasn’t too fussed with the lighting choices. The judges were, however, concerned about how much money Ankur and Sharon continue to spend.

Rachel and Ryan

Rachel and Ryan’s master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe won over the judges, who applauded the fireplace and the neutral colour palette.

Dylan and Jenny

While it was a risk to to walk into the wardrobe and not the bedroom, the judges agreed it worked for Dylan and Jenny. However, they were left underwhelmed by the bedroom itself, which had some issues with the finishings.

Omar and Oz

It was bad news for Omar and Oz who failed to impress the judges with their master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe. The library and work-from-home space fell flat, and the lack of a king size bed was a big mistake.

Omar and Oz

After a tough week filled with many dramas, Omar and Oz’s bathroom paid off. The judges loved what the boys did with the space, with Shaynna describing the room as akin to an upmarket country club. The modern yet country Ensuite was the winner of the week.

Sharon and Ankur

Sharon and Ankur’s bathroom was full of elegant and theatrical personality. The judges loved the double-sided fire, but worried about its placement.

Tom and Sarah Jane

While the judges loved Tom and Sarah Jane’s tile choices for the Master Ensuite as well as the contemporary yet timeless feel, Shaynna noted the lack of face-to-face storage.

Dylan and Jenny

With a huge space came a lot of room to work with for Dylan and Jenny. The double shower and bench seat was a hit with the judges, but Shaynna wondered why the pair always box things in, while the big issue was that the pair didn’t properly finish the bathroom.

Rachel and Ryan

Neale was not a fan of this bathroom, which he called “bland”. Darren, meanwhile, loved it. And Shaynna sat somewhere in the middle, saying that Rachel and Ryan need to listen to her when she says she wants “country”.

Ankur and Sharon

Ankur and Sharon were back in the game after this guest bedroom reveal! The judges loved the warm colour palette and traditional touches. But they thought the Velux skylight was too close to the original restored ceiling rose.

Dylan and Jenny

The judges were impressed with how Dylan and Jenny had improved from the week prior, noting the stunning colour palette and the eye-catching walk-in wardrobe.

Rachel and Ryan

While there were some traditional elements in Rachel and Ryan’s guest bedroom, there weren’t enough when it came to the furnishing choices. And the painting wasn’t up to scratch.

Tom and Sarah-Jane

The judges loved Tom and Sarah-Jane’s guest bedroom, save for the placement of the window and its impact on opening the wardrobes.

Omar and Oz

Omar and Oz impressed the judges with the scale and VJ panelling in the room. Shaynna worried the floorboards could cause issues in the cold winter weather, while Neale wasn’t a fan of the wardrobes.

Scott Cam

Host Scott Cam even had a go at a guest bedroom! What do you think?

Omar and Oz

Omar and Oz were the surprise winners of their first bathroom challenge. The mix of tiles and country yet contemporary feel truly impressed the judges, and they took home $10,000 from Ford and a $250,000 kitchen upgrade from Winning Appliances.

Tom and Sarah Jane

It was quite the debut for new contestants Tom and Sarah-Jane, who ended in joint second place. The judges were impressed with the ceiling height and lighting, but not too fussed with the lack of storage space and paint work.

Dylan and Jenny

Ending the challenge in joint runner-up position was Dylan and Jenny who impressed the judges with their fresh, vast and welcoming bathroom. The arches and cornices were standouts, while the length of the shower screen cost them points.

Rachel and Ryan

This bathroom caused mixed reviews from the judges. While Darren loved it, the others thought it was too urban, as opossed to the country focus for this season. They ended the challenge in second last place.

Ankur and Sharon

The first bathroom reveal was an emotional one for Sharon and Ankur, who landed in last place. The judges weren’t at all impressed at the final result, which they deemed theatrical with no nod to the house’s heritage.

Tom and Sarah

Tom and Sarah won this year’s first room reveal during the House Decider challenge, which allowed them to choose which house they wanted to renovate.

Judges Shaynna Blaze, Neale Whitaker and Darren Palme were impressed with their efforts and placed them first out of the five pairings.

Dylan and Jenny

In second place for the first challenge was Dylan and Jenny.

While judge Neale loved the execution, he didn’t gel with the urban “vibe” of the room.

Sharon and Ankur

Sharon and Ankur’s room was well executed but the judges thought it teetered towards a “man cave” rather than a country feel.

But the couple managed to nab third place in the first challenge.

Joel and Elle

In their one and only challenge before leaving The Block for good, Joel and Elle failed to impress the judges who were more reminded of Bondi than the country.

Ultimately, the pair ended the inaugural challenge in fourth place.

Omar and Oz

Someone’s got to come last, and unfortunately for Omar and Oz – their time to lose came in the first challenge after the judges found their room too generic and lacking personality.
