The facade is the first thing you're gonna see,

So when you're walking through that gate,

that's the start of the journey into that home.

If we win tonight, we've got the best looking front on the street

So, no pressure, then.

Yeah. Wow!

Wow, wow, wow!

Shayna thinks the white is a really good choice in the bricks

SHAYNNA: It sort of almost expands the width of the house.

It makes it actually feel much larger than what it is.

I'm not sure about the stones.

With the money that Jimmy and Tam have,

it probably would've been nicer to see a few more things

Oh, well!

The front door colour.

That's heaven.

Very '50s.

That colour on the door is obviously a very 1950s colour.

I mean, I would hate to see that colour

on any other front door of any other house.

But here, it works.

They all headed back around to the deck.

('CHEERLEADER' BY OMI PLAYS)

This is really comfy. Oh!

It's very considered. It's very pared back.

Very considered. It's very deliberate.

They're definitely trying to hit a particular market

that's going to want something

that isn't anything like the other four houses at all.

Jimmy and Tam have just barely missed a beat.

It's a really special, really interesting,

very saleable house. I agree.

It's going to be very interesting to see on auction day

It's going to be very interesting to see on auction day

how many people are interested in this house

'cause it's very niche...

Mm-hm. ..but is very good.

It is very niche, but I have a feeling

that The Junction is gonna be quite a sought after address.

Summing up today, your judges noted

that despite having all five houses

from five different decades,

they all feel like they belong together,

and you have done wonders for the street.

The neighbours are going to love it!

Well done. Well done.

(APPLAUSE)

Stunning.

I really feel that they believe in these houses

and they've put everything into it.

You feel it. Yeah.

It's not just a competition to them. You can tell.

The judges felt like there were no losers this week,

which made them feel all the worse

for having, then, to sit down and score them.

Alright, we'll get some scores together?

Yes. We better had.

Can we do it here, though? 'Cause this is kind of nice.

Sure. Can you pour me a drink first?

I don't know what's in that. I... (LAUGHS)

Don't worry.

Our boys worked their asses off this week.

(CRYING) They worked their asses off.

And they are so proud of what they've done.

They all stood back and went, "Oh, my god. Look what we've done."

And then to get comments like that is just...

Heart-wrenching.

Look, we are completely in the negative.

This week would've cost us a tonne of money.

I just got my first bill,

and I don't even have that in my account.

So that's without having any other of the thousands of trades

We've got a taste of it now.

Taste of winning. It just is awesome.

We want to take out the next couple of wins.

Some just don't have the cash.

I'm embarrassed.

I'm sick of hearing it.

We are not gonna finish 'cause of this.

Eleven weeks in and not finishing is a real possibility.

I really don't know whether we'll deliver.

For the first time, we weren't going to finish a space.

That's what you call unfinished business, isn't it?
