1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Dumb mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: Well the Block this year mid filming there were lockdowns

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: on site. Auctions have been given the flick. There's sort

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: of some controversy with between judges and contestants, a bit

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: of tension, but it wouldn't be the same without all

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: of that going on. Shana Blaze joins us. Now, Hi, Shane,

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: how are you?

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: I love that intro? Does my name always say controversy?

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Well, drama drama.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Look, when you have something that's brought with tender emotions

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: and people doing things on a timeline, and then you've

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: got COVID, there's always going to be some sort of

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: drama of some sort.

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: What I was asking speculating about before, because there are

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: themes like era themes this time around with the houses,

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: does that put anyone at a disadvantage Rather than just

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: making the best house you can and making it look

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: as great as you imagine, you're locked into a theme

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: and not all by want to buy a nineteen ten house.

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: Well, to tell you the truth in Brighton period homes

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: in that area is what it's all about. That if

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: you walk around, every house has some sort of era

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: about it, So it does suit the area, and at

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: the same time they are given when they first walk

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: in the brief, they know what it is. It doesn't

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: take a lot of research to really find out what

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the basic architectural elements are. And then they've got supplies

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: that will guide them towards colors and surfaces that will

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: actually suit that. So they are given a bit of

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: a push into that, and it really comes down to

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: whether they stand to the brief or they don't. It's,

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, as a designer, it's a designer's dream, but

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: as their person no, So I get what you're saying

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: about coming and doing the best house possible. But to

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: tell you the truth, we've had those years where we

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: give contestants a house and if they don't have any guidelines,

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: they slammeder for a long time. So I feel like

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: a really good set of rules to get them started

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: on a really good track.

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: What would you like to see in ways of the theme?

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: Is there one that hasn't been explored.

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Yet within the certain style?

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just in the So if someone said, oh, Shana,

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: what are we going to do next to you for

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: the block?

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: What would you like to see?

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: We've seen, you know, a medieval Dungeon would be something

49
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: that something that hasn't been explored yet.

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: Did you think, yeah, that'd be great.

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we do it in medieval, they're not going

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: to have to come back in twelve months and do

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: selling houses on it. I think.

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: I remember, I remember the medieval castle thing in selling houses.

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh that was a baddie. That was quite funny. Look,

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think we've had a theme that

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: we haven't really touched on with it. We've sort of

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: been like on a lot of trends. I think, you know,

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: quite architectural minimalism is really hard unless you're an expert,

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and you know, we've worked in quite a few period

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: stars that art decko. I think the Victorian was touched

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: a little bit in South Melbourne in the first year

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: that I started, but no one really stuck to that.

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I would love to see the beautiful eighteen eighty eighteen

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: ninety Victorian. There are beautiful houses Matt's and.

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: A Girl with modern plumbing with and modern.

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: Lighting too, because those windows are all based around the

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: English Northern Hemisphere. So that's why those places are so dark,

69
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: because they're based on the Northern Hemisphere stuff.

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: And you can guarantee that'd be a fair share of

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: pillows in that place as well, wouldn't they.

72
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: Oh women, what's with women and pillows? Shane?

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: And what is it with you women and pillows? I

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: don't understand it. How many pillows do you need?

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: It's well, you know, there's meersonality and then there's just glamour.

76
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I think it just adds a sense of softness that

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: it's better than changing the room every day, buying a

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: new couch and changing the wall color. Were just a

79
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a chained, a little bit of fun,

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: and they're luxurious and they put a smile on your face.

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Speaking about putting a smile on your face, I don't

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: know if you've seen the latest new idea, but apparently

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: you and Shane warn are a perfect match.

84
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: Wow ah, Darling, Well he's a weighing overseas at the moment.

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just.

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: A bit of Shane on the pillow.

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: I must I must say, making up that crap. I

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: must say, Shane, I'm very staked with the block this year.

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: I like how you guys handled the pandemic. This is

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: how quick the pandemic went in Block time. I'm shutting

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: it down now, shut down and then in the same

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: episode on behalf of Myself, Keith and Dan and the

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: entire crew that's here.

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: It's so bloody terrific to have you back in real life.

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: If only Channel nine ran the.

96
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: World, you know what, we've had so much misery. I'm

97
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: glad they didn't drag on that because you know as

98
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: much that the rest of it still is running COVID restrictions,

99
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: and you know, in Melbourne it's just, you know, we're

100
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: really struggling, really struggling in Melbourne. But at the same

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: time we want a little bit of happiness and we

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: all know what everyone's been through. The whole world went

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: through it together. So yeah, just shut the door and

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: open a new one and open.

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: Up a pillow shop. The pillow industry handle is thriving.

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Joni, you're obsessed.

107
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed. Well you and Shane Wall I'm obsessed with

108
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: that as well. I like that he's bored you over.

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,039
