It’s episode 8 of The Amazing RaceAustralia 2023 and with just five teams remaining, things hit a whole new level of competitiveness.
The contestants headed to the waters of a local floating village on the mighty lake of Tonle Sap in Cambodia.
The episode saw previous front runners meltdown as they fell behind, and unlikely teams excel.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
Challenge one and detours
For challenge one, the contestants were tasked with collecting a list of school supplies for the local students from a shop on land, which seemed easy enough. However, after they’d bought all of the items they had to deliver them via a tiny fishing boat.
Fortunately for them, the teams had minimal drama during the challenge, which is probably because they didn’t have to drive the boats themselves.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
After dropping off the supplies, the teams had to learn the words to the Cambodian version of Old McDonald Had a Farm and perform it in front of the class of children correctly.
Unsurprisingly, Wiggle Emma and Hayley aced it, and Angie and Ali Simpson followed closely behind them.
Meanwhile, Corr and Jana Pittman began to film the pressure of the race and continually snapped at each other as they reenacted the song, and Harry Jowsey and Teddy Briggs were told their performance was “not good”.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
The contestants were given a detour and had to choose between gardening of fishing. Jana and Corr and Harry and Teddy chose gardening, while the others decided to try their luck at catching a cupful of shrimp.
In order to catch the shrimp, the teams had to paddle to branches in the river, slowly pull them out and shake the shellfish out into a net.
Darren McMullen wasn’t happy to see that they were the last ones to their challenge pick. “What do we have to do to get these couples away from us?” he frustratingly vented to a producer.
At one point, Tristan Dougan dropped his oar and leaned over the boat to get it. This caused their vessel to be flooded and gave them a massive time disadvantage as they had to swap out the boat. Darren was not impressed with his nephew.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
Both of the other teams breezed through the challenge.
Meanwhile, over at the gardening challenge the teams were tasked with recreating a garden that a herb local had already made.
Jana, a self-confessed gardening lover, was excited by the “relaxing” challenge, but her happiness quickly turned to desolation when they failed it a massive thirteen times.
Harry and Teddy were much calmer during the challenge, but they too took a significant amount of time to complete it.
Roadblock
For the roadblock, one member of the team had to hull rice in the sun, using a heavy stick. The task caused serious blisters and a whole lot of sweat, but no one gave up.
Emma and Hayley were the first ones out of there. Darren started to melt under the pressure and threw a few jabs his nephew’s way, and Corr and Jana bickered…again.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
The Pit Stop
Emma and Hayley Watkins hit the pitstop first and earned their hotel upgrade. Alli and Angie Simpson were second and Corr and Jana were third.
It then came down to a foot race with Darren and Tristan arriving at the pitstop just moments before Harry and Teddy. Fortunately for the reality stars, it was a non-elimination leg and they were deemed safe from elimination.
The Grim Reaper has stayed true to their costume by killing a bunch of classic songs on The MaskedSinger Australia 2023, but who’s behind the mask?
While the answer to that question hasn’t officially been answered yet, we think we’ve got a good idea about who is doing the v. skilful vocal gymnastics.
Read on to find out who the Grim Reaper could be!
The Masked Singer. Ten.
Who do fans think it is?
Fans seem to think that two of the judges have correctly guessed the Grim Reaper’s identity correctly as Darren Hayes.
“It’s Darren, just reveal him already so we don’t have to endure any more ridiculous, fake guesses just for the sake of naming someone,” one person commented.
“Definitely Darren Hayes – unmistakable voice and “three adjectives” clue is a nod to Truly, Madly,Deeply,” another wrote.

Grim Reaper’s clues so far
Episode one
You call me the Grim Reaper… okay, maybe I started out Grim but now I actually enjoy life, it’s quite beautiful! Being the Grim Reaper has sudden highs and lows, for all of you of course. I come to lead your soul so you step into the light. My job never stops, no time off but millions of happy customers. It’s just about all I know! Being the Grim Reaper is a good life, it’s not bliss but it’s close to it.
Episode three
Last time I left the panel spooked with my performance, they tried my best to peak under my hood… What offering will I bring for them tonight?
Sorry, but it took me a while to wake up. Okay, let me say this; I’m the one who makes decisions about who stays and who goes. Please, don’t take it personal. You know, I know what it’s like to be on the edge, but I’m more mature now. I think I’ve got it together. The way I dress is quite the throwback, like something from another era… but how long ago? You know, I escort the souls of the dead, so I understand if I’m not popular. I get it, but that’s the gig.
Episode five
Last time I gave an otherworldly performance, the panel made some ghoulish guesses but do they have a hope in hell of unmasking me tonight?
Being the Grim Reaper is my own little empire. This job can get lonely, even with so many people around me. It’s funny, that’s why I get clay feet in the country. I know being Grim Reaper is an important job but I have dreamed of doing something else. But let’s get serious, it’s in my DNA and, in the end, this is what I do. I probably can’t start again.
Episode seven
It’s time to head to the other side of the century, where overalls, double denim, grunge and hip-hop ruled the ‘90s.
You mighty ask why I’m holding an old farming implement, I don’t really know. I grew up in the big smoke! Ooh, it’s sharp. I heal fast! Now I know people feel crushing fear when they see me approaching. I get it, but despite what I do for a living, I don’t feel like I have bloodstains on my hands. And don’t confuse me for a vampire, or a werewolf howling at the moon. A silver bullet won’t kill me… but I love platinum! To you, this is a graveyard. Maybe you’ll see the devil. But I know there are delights still to come.
Episode eight
I promised and delivered on my last performance, tonight a legend has opened up heaven’s doors. I can’t wait to take you to the other side.
When you do what I do, it’s easy to get down on yourself but the simple things bring me back into the light. No, not caffeine! Can I think of three adjectives to describe myself? No, actually I can’t. But you can’t worry about what people say about you, that’s their problem. What does matter is love. That’s all. We all need to be loved.
The Masked Singer Australia continues on Monday at 7.30pm on 10 and 10Play.
Snow Fox has blown the judges away every time they’ve performed on The Masked Singer Australia 2023, but who is performing behind the regal costume?
Unfortunately for spoiler lovers, Snow Fox is still in the competition – so their identity hasn’t been officially revealed yet. However, we’ve got some idea of who it may be.
Read on to find out who Snow Fox could be!
The Masked Singer. Ten.
Who do fans think it is?
Fans are absolutely convinced that Snow Fox is Australia’s entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, Dani Im.
“Snow Fox – Dami Im came to Australia when she was 9 years old and experienced culture shock like many immigrants but she came through and is now a successful artist,” one person wrote on Instagram.
“Dami Im is snow fox. The Swedish flag, Eurovision was in Sweden the year she represented,” another penned.

Snow Fox’s clues so far
Episode two
I am the Snow Fox; graceful, sophisticated, and resilient. But there is more to my life than glamour, you don’t see the amount of hard work it takes to survive in my environment. Of course, here in my winter wonderland, it’s like every day is Christmas. But staying warm is brutal. My pulse has to beat fast. You know, little Snow Foxes are looked after well by their parents. It was during Snow Fox High School that my abilities became apparent. Now that I’m older I have the drive needed to stay alive.
Episode four
My first song, the panel’s guesses were as cold as ice. That performance was addictive and I can’t wait to take the stage tonight.
Living somewhere this beautiful is a dream, home sweet home. You know, I’ve been through intense training. This is so much nicer. Of course, not all Snow Foxes are migratory but I’ve had more than one home. I didn’t build them myself, that would be ridiculous. Actually, I think God built this one. I’m known for my good works, but my mother spent her life with very different works. You do what you can.
Episode six
Last time around I froze out the competition and left the panel lost in the woods. This Fox is going to blow your socks off.
I’m Snow Fox, so I guess I’m a predator, but there’s no way you’ll find me dancing with the devil. I’m not that naughty. Making a living as a Snow Fox can be dangerous. Trolls always looking to shut me down. Don’t worry what other people say, it’s just jealousy. You know, even the greatest moments don’t come easily. The hunt can be difficult and the winters long so, for me, it’s important to have faith in what you do!
Episode seven
Tonight I am heading to a simpler time. No, not the ice age, back to an era when the King still reigned… Elvis, that is.
It’s a big world out there. Cold, you have to keep moving, working, producing. Who knows where it might take you? You know, I’ve been conservative and I’ve been wild. Both need you to be confident, it’s a state of mind. My life as a Snow Fox is survival of the fittest. Competition is everywhere you look. Sometimes you’re number one, number two… or number 29. Just do your best. If you do your best, you have a reason to smile! Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone.
Episode eight
Last time I had to spell it out… tonight, the legendary Piano Man leads me down the yellow brick road for my performance.
As a Snow Fox, childhood is different. You grow up quick, no time to rest. You never know which door will open up next. Like this masquerade, you never know. Of course, the path to where you’re headed is never clear, there are hurdles, but don’t let it leave a sour taste in your mouth. I never do. Then again, spice in my mouth helped me to take on my biggest challenge. Then I could tell people what I really, really want. But, right now, I’m ready to cook up something special.

It’s episode 48 of The Block 2023 and Leah is fuming about the lack of support she and Ash have received over the passing of their family dog Ollie.
In the episode, she shared her shock that she hadn’t heard from Lesley and Kyle or Brett and Kristy about the devastating accident.
“Steph and Gian spoke to us last night, they were just walking past so we spoke to them and the girls [Eliza and Liberty] sent a text, but that’s it,” Leah told a producer.
Shortly after, Brett and Kristy stopped to see Ash and expressed their condolences over Ollie.
The Block. Nine.
Later in the episode, Steph popped around to check on Leah who said that she was angry that Brett and Kristy didn’t directly express their sympathies to her, despite consoling her partner Ash.
“They are poison, they are true, true poison,” she told Steph.
“I’m beyond pissed off, this is irreparable. the lack of empathy is sociopathic.”
Leah was also frustrated with Lesley and Kyle’s lack of contact over Ollie’s passing. While Lesley explained that she did text the following day, Leah didn’t think it was good enough.
The Block. Nine.
The finish line approaches
Meanwhile, it’s just three days until the front garden and facade are revealed. After Eliza and Liberty’s fustercluck of problems this week, they finally got their deck signed off at 2:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon by Foreman Dan.
All of the contestant’s yards are starting to take straight, and it looks like it’s going to be a tight race to the finish line.
The Block. Nine.
The old owner of house two came to The Block
Barb, the original owner of house two, came around to check out the progress on Leah and Ash’s house.
Barb’s parents built the house in the 1940s and she and Leah bonded over the fact that the Silver Birch tree remains, and more were being added.

It’s episode seven of The Amazing RaceAustralia 2023 and the six remaining teams are continuing their journey in Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
Embarking on a spiritual quest, the celebs, armed with a humble offering, ventured into one of the largest religious structures on the planet, seeking enlightenment alongside a real-life fide Monk.
Now at the pointy end of the competition, Darren, Tristan, Bec, and Kate have formed somewhat of an alliance.
In order to prove their allegiance to one another, they decided to give Emma and Hayley a bum steer by telling them to go the wrong way. However, Emma and Hayley managed to overtake Bec and Kate while en route to the next challenge — martial arts.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
The Spider-eating challenge
Next up, it was a challenge of strong stomach proportions as the Teams had to channel their inner MasterChef, cooking a meal before consuming it.
While it sounds easy enough, spoiler alert, it wasn’t because on the menu were three deep-fried tarantulas plus four bowls of assorted bugs and grubs. Yum!
While Hayley cried her way through the leggy meal and Angie gagged, Tristan on the other hand gobbled it up like it was mac and cheese.
The Amazing Race. Ten.
Finally, it was Bec and Kate’s turn. Given that Bec suffers from arachnophobia, not even being able to be in the same vicinity as the spiders, the team decided to take the time penalty which resulted in a 60-minute time penalty upon reaching the Pit Stop.
While their new alliance were the first to reach Beau, thanks to their 60-minute wait time, Bec and Kate were officially last to check in, resulting in their elimination.
Some huge stars have been revealed on The Masked Singer Australia 2023 so far, and there are undoubtedly more big names to come.
But who are they?
Welp, YouTuber Daniel Cronin thinks he knows the celebs behind the masks of Bouncer, Grim Reaper, Snow Fox and Cowgirl. His case is strengthened by the fact that he correctly named Tiny and Burger Gal on his YouTube channel before they were unmasked.
But, if you don’t want spoilers, then we’d strongly recommend exiting out of this article ASAP. Read on at your own risk…
Who’s behind the masks of Bouncer?
Cronin believes that Bouncer is Conrad Sewell. He mashed up a clip of the masked artist performing You’re The Voice by John Farnham on The Masked Singer with one of Sewell singing his original song Remind Me, and it sounds pretty spot on.
Cronin reckons it’s none other than Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes. The YouTuber popped together a clip of Grim Reaper belting out when the party’s over by Billie Eilish and compared it to Hayes singing his original song Feels LIke It’s Over, and it’s on point!
Who’s behind the mask of Snow Fox?
Snow Fox has seriously impressed with her vocals, and Cronin thinks that Eurovision star Dami Im is behind the mask. He shared a clip of the regal fox singing I’m Addicted To You by Avicii and compared it to Dami Im singing Super Love. It’s pretty hard to miss the similarities when they’re laid out.
Who’s behind the mask of Cowgirl?
Cronin thinks it’s Courtney Act. He posted a clip of the cute cow performing Wannabe by The Spice Girls and compared it with the drag queen’s song Ugly and the vocals sound suspiciously similar.
Correct guesses
Cronin posted two videos to his YouTube account that correctly guessed the signer’s identities before they were unmasked.
He guessed that Tiny was Pete Murray three weeks before he was revealed, and he predicted that Burger Gal was La Toya Jackson six days before her reveal.
Pete Murray as Tiny
La Toya Jackson as Burger Gal

It’s fair to say that The Block 2023 is one of the spiciest seasons that’s ever come from the franchise.
Throughout this year’s instalment, viewers have seen backstabbing, friendship breakups, deaths, audit threats and secret gnome exchanges. On top of that, there’s been a whole lot of tears shed.
Scotty Cam has finally broken his silence about why there’s so much drama on the current season.
“New personalities came out in different people that they didn’t show us in their interview,” Scotty Cam told TV WEEK. “Some drama happens and you go, ‘Wow, I didn’t see that coming from that person’.”
The Block. Nine.
He insisted that producers didn’t orchestrate the scandals, and said that it happens organically.
“We don’t create the drama,” he explained. “We never know what’s going to happen. It’s all happy days in the first week, but the nature of our show is it’s a crockpot and a bubbling mess where everyone is lacking sleep from day one. Things just implode.”
“The construction comes first, the real estate second and the drama third,” he said.
“It’s up to the contestants how they manage that throughout the process, but I like to remind them [being on The Block] is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and to not go through it fighting the whole time. Enjoy it.”
The Block producers (apparently) don’t cast contestants for drama, either
Nine’s Head of Content, Production and Development, Adrian Swift toldChattrduring an interview before the series premiere that the production team don’t cast contestants based on their ability to cause drama with one another.
“There is nothing we engineer,” he said. “This is nothing that we produce to get a lot more drama between the contestants, [it just happens] because they’re in such close proximity.”
The Block. Nine.
“We cast purely on: ‘What will they bring to the show?’ We try and balance the guys, we try and balance it by skill level, we try and balance it by state, we try and make sure there’s always diversity in the cast. We try and make sure that the relationships aren’t all offensive, for example, that they’re not all couples.” he added.
“You can’t introduce too many variables into the cast otherwise you don’t get a full deck of cards.”
Fans have noticed that the cast is generally younger this year, but Swift said that this wasn’t done in the hope of added drama.
“We didn’t go how can we make a younger this year,” he said. “I’ll be honest, it does feel that way and I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing but it certainly wasn’t something we set out to achieve.”
The Block airs on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. and continues on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 9 and 9Now.

The game’s protagonist, known as the Vault Dweller, resides in Vault 13, an underground nuclear shelter. The player takes on the role of the Vault Dweller, who embarks on a mission to find a computer chip that can restore the Vault’s damaged water supply system. The player interacts with other survivors, accepts missions, and engages in turn-based combat to achieve their goals.
Fallout premieres on April 12th, 2024 on Prime Video.
In light of the news that Melissa Leong won’t be returning to MasterChef Australia in 2024, she’s taken to Instagram to clarify that she wasn’t fired from the show.
Leong was a MasterChef Australia judge alongside Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen from 2020 to 2023. Zonfrillo sadly passed away the night before season 15 was scheduled to air.
It was announced that Allen will be returning for season 16, alongside new judges Poh Ling Yeow, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Sofia Levin.
MasterChef. Nine.
There was speculation on social media that Leong was let go by the network, however, she’s challenged that narrative.
“I want to express my gratitude for the overwhelming support this past day, in sharing the news that I am shifting gears and making space in my life for a delicious new chapter,” she began the post.
“I get that there is going to be a bit of confusion and chaos about the ‘why’ of it all right now. I’m here and happy to clear that up, because negative tropes draped around women who achieve something is boring, and frankly we are all better than that,” she continued.
“This is a shift I embrace with joy. One that allows everyone involved, to expand. To put it plainly, I’m very fortunate to continue to be a key part of MasterChefAustralia, yet have the space to evolve my career.”
The new host of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Robert Irwin has revealed a major change that’s coming to the popular reality TV show.
During an appearance on The Project, Irwin was asked how he’d feel about watching contestants eat ‘zebra balls’ on the show.
The wildlife enthusiast clarified that no wildlife would be used in eating challenges on the show from now on.
“Can I say something very interesting? This is one of the reasons why I was so excited to join the show,” he told the hosts.
“I’m A Celebrity have vowed to cease all use of wildlife in the show. The entire consumptive use of wildlife is done.
Robert Irwin. Instagram.
Irwin said that the eating trials will still continue, but “it’s with sustainably farmed animals”.
“They’ve got all bags to eat!” Julia interrupted.
“So, it’s a very important thing for me. And I’m very proud of what we’re doing together to really hit home and lead by example with wildlife conservation in this new season of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,” Irwin added.
Robert Irwin will co-host I’m A Celebrity alongside Julia Morris
Irwin is joining Julia Morris in the hosting role on the upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity. Prior to 2024, Dr Chris Brown had the gig.
“I am absolutely overjoyed by the appointment of my spectacular new co-host, Robert Irwin,” Morris said.
“Audiences will be peaking at how much fun we have in store. You might think Robert and I are an unlikely duo, but it turns out we’re a magical combination! Season 10, here we come!”
The Project. Ten.
Morris and Irwin will live it up in South Africa while they film the show, which will air next year.
“It’s a huge honour to be the new co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” Irwin said.
“I can’t wait to plunge back into the incredible African jungle and introduce our celebrities to the magnificent wildlife that call the jungle home.”

It’s episode eight of The Masked Singer Australia 2023 and Orca has made her final splash!
During the episode, the masks paid tribute to Heroes, Legends and Icons and even though her performance of Fleetwood Mac’sDreams wowed, the studio audience voted the sea mammal as the mask whose identity would be revealed.
The judges were conflicted by who they thought was under the amazing costume including guesses of Daryl Hannah, a member of the Dixie Chicks, Kate DeAraugo and Neighbours’ brand-new addition, Mischa Barton.
But alas, Sheppard band member, Amy Sheppard was the one unveiled!
Amy Sheppard. Ten
After her reveal, guessing panellist Chrissie Swan joked that it must feel like “cheating on your bandmates”.
“It does a bit!” Amy said. “[But] I’ve been doing my solo country music project. I’m still doing Sheppard, and that’s still going, we’re about to release our fourth album. But I decided that I wanted to discover who I was as an artist outside the band. So, this has been a great platform for me to do that.”
The Other Performances
Bouncer
Clues: Last time the panel realised I’m not a friendly face at your local. I’ll be singing my hero song tonight and you’ll be seeing stars in my performance!
Growing up Big Red wasn’t easy, so many things to feel guilty about but I always had my music, that’s no revelation! You know, I’ve really got the taste for this type of work. Not cleaning so much, but the bouncing business. It’s a real workout! Like anyone I’ve got me dreams but, I guess, one day the bubble will pop. In this job, you’ve got to be consistent and persistent. Nothing’s impossible. Don’t give up, even when things look dark, because you want to be the last one standing.

Guesses: Firass Dirani, Jay Sean, Mick Hucknall, James Arthur

Of course, the path to where you’re headed is never clear, there are hurdles, but don’t let it leave a sour taste in your mouth. I never do. Then again, spice in my mouth helped me to take on my biggest challenge. Then I could tell people what I really, really want. But, right now, I’m ready to cook up something special.
Clues: I promised and delivered on my last performance, tonight a legend has opened up heaven’s doors. I can’t wait to take you to the other side.
When you do what I do, it’s easy to get down on yourself but the simple things bring me back into the light. No, not caffeine! Can I think of three adjectives to describe myself? No, actually I can’t. But you can’t worry about what people say about you, that’s their problem. What does matter is love. That’s all. We all need to be loved.
Clues: There I went again last performance leaving the panel udderly delighted! Tonight, this Cow Girl’s going for iconic so you better get ready to just dance!
As a Cow Girl, I have my secrets. Let me warn you that I’m no dairy cow but, if I was, my milk would be top fuel! I don’t mean to big-note myself but I worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment… and some of the shortest. You know, this really is a tough business. Even as a Cow Girl, people are fascinated with my body parts, or so a little bird told me. I got you, babe! Of course, in the end, you’ve just got to fight or face ruin.
Song:Just Dance by Lady Gaga
Guesses: Alyssa Milano, Melissa McCarthy, Conchita Wurst, Kristen Stewart
The Masked Singer Australia continues Monday at 7.30pm on 10 And 10 Play.
It’s episode seven of SAS Australia 2023 and only seven recruits remain.
In a task designed to test their ability to absorb pressure, the recruits infiltrated a military port to secure sensitive information before radioing a memorized extraction code for a water rescue.
During the challenge — and after radioing the correct extraction code — Zima Anderson fell awkwardly from the tower when preparing to jump into the water.
Given the serious nature of the accident, the challenge came to a halt as the DS and medical teams raced to her aid. She was then taken to hospital, sustaining a small fracture to her right elbow and wrist and was medically withdrawn from the course.

The second task
In a daring challenge mimicking open ocean survival, the DS refused to let up, putting pressure on the remaining six recruits. With hearts pounding and determination fueling their every move, they clung together, treading water to stay afloat.
The water seemed to have a firm grip on AFL commentator Abbey Holmes, who panicked and called it quits on the task.
“I just freak out with water. I felt ok at the start but then just went to s**t,” she explained through tears.
Abbey Holmes. Seven
“Setting fire to shame”
Later, the recruits revealed all in ‘setting fire to shame’, a pressure test of emotion designed to expel trauma and shame.
Actor Craig McLachlan detailed the impact of the charges laid against him for his role in the Rocky Horror stage show.
“The embarrassment and shame I felt was crippling,” he said. “And without realising it, I’ve been hating everything and resenting everything. I’ve been angry at everything. I’m done with hate for hate’s sake. I have, over time, learned to breathe again to move on.”
Setting fire to shame exercise. Seven
Meanwhile, Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham revealed his own personal shame, shocking the DS with his brutal honesty.
“I’ve been a really selfish person in relationships,” he said. “And I feel so ashamed for the immense hurt that I caused someone for 11 years, who stayed with me throughout my entire addiction.
“And despite being seven years clean and sober and it being one of his absolute deal breakers, I still struggle to be completely honest with my husband.”
He added: “I haven’t been the best husband. I’ve definitely caused a lot of pain and I still have a lot of shame for the lies and deception in my relationship.”
It’s episode 47 of The Block 2023 and it’s a flurry of chaos for almost all of the contestants.
Steph and Gian faced a major dilemma as their scaffolding couldn’t be moved, which held up work on their front yard. Gian left the site to attend his grandfather’s funeral and Steph tried to deal with the problem alone.
Leslie and Kyle offered their landscaper Troy to new pals Kristy and Brett, who fired their landscaper last week. Troy had to remove his team from Kyle and Leslie’s site while they figured out a way to come up with some extra money to pay for the job
Meanwhile, Liberty and Eliza had a miscommunication with their builder about budgets and were left in the red with limited money left over for their front yard.
The Block. Nine.
The Gnome sale
The stakes were absolutely massive for Leah and Ash this week because they had their heart on driving home the Ford Mustang. To do so, they needed to win the reveals this week. Luckily for them, they had a Gnome which could give them a bonus point in their final score.
The Block. Nine.
However, not so luckily for them, Kyle and Leslie had a Gnome too, and they’d asked Steph and Gian if they’d like to buy it from them, which could throw a spanner in the works for Leah and Ash.
“Why not help [Steph and Gian] win a car as well, and then maybe someone else won’t be able to win it,” Kyle pondered.
Kyle and Leslie were gunning for a $10,000 return on their Gnome. But, Steph and Gian pushed for a cheaper price and the couples agreed on $5,000 and a few Block Bucks.
By that point, all of the other Blockheads knew about the Gnome sale except for Leah and Ash.
The Block. Nine.
Eliza and Liberty faced problem after problem
The contestants steadily working their way through their front yards, but because it’s The Block, a number of problems arise – especially for Eliza and Liberty.
Although they’d managed to sort out the budgeting problem from earlier, Scotty Cam pointed out that Eliza and Liberty’s deck support stumps weren’t to standard, so he made their team re-do the holes a massive seven times.
On top of that, he later broke the news to them that their deck was 1cm too high, and they wouldn’t be able to sell the house. After fixing both problems, Eliza and Liberty were up against the clock to finish their front yard before the end of the week.
At the end of the episode, Ash received a call from Leah’s dad who had some horrible news. Her father accidentally ran over their beloved dog Ollie, and he’s sadly passed away.
While Ash is trying to process the news, Leah arrives happily back to the site with a bag of fish for the pond. Ash pulls her into the bathroom and tells her the horrible news before breaking down.

It’s episode seven of The Masked Singer Australia 2023 and the Grammy Award winner has finally been unveiled.
Although her tasty take on Doja Cat and SZA’sKiss Me More was grill-iant, the studio audience ordered Burger Gal’s identity to be served up.
While the judging panel were certain they had cracked the clues, AbbieChatfield, Chrissie Swan and Dave Hughes locked in Fran Drescher, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, and Julia Styles as their guesses.
But it was Mel B who was right on the money, successfully guessing La Toya Jackson!
La Toya Jackson. Ten
When asked why she decided to participate in The Masked Singer Australia, Jackson said, “I love this show. I will go anywhere to do this show. This is my third [time on the show] actually.”
As for whether her famous family knew: “They don’t know. I didn’t tell anyone; my mother doesn’t even know! We were all on a family conference yesterday, and they said ‘What are you doing in Australia?’ I said ‘Just work, just having fun…’”
Clues: Tonight I am heading to a simpler time. No, not the ice age, back to an era when the King still reigned… Elvis, that is.
It’s a big world out there. Cold, you have to keep moving, working, producing. Who knows where it might take you? You know, I’ve been conservative and I’ve been wild. Both need you to be confident, it’s a state of mind. My life as a Snow Fox is survival of the fittest. Competition is everywhere you look. Sometimes you’re number one, number two… or number 29. Just do your best. If you do your best, you have a reason to smile! Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone.
Clues: My song tonight sounds like it’s from the ‘50s, but it’s just a hop, skip and a jump back in time until I found you. Back when we were all confined to the top paddock.
Being a Bouncer takes more brawn than brain, I got both because I’m quite the athlete. I’ve been on the biggest sporting stage. I’m not being defensive now, I don’t care what anyone says. No one could ever accuse this roo of being disloyal. You know, even when I went solo I still sought some company. I guess that was Bouncer 2.0. I’m sure you know I’m all about the entertainment… let me get on the PA. Trivia question time restarts in 21 minutes! People, we’re in for a big night!
Song:Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez
Guesses: Sisqó, Anthony Callea, Johnny Diesel, Peter Andre
Clues: Tonight I’m heading to greener pastures. Back to my country roots… here I come again!
Strangely, for a Cow Girl, you won’t always find me out on the range. Actually, enclosed spaces are good too. That’s not to say I stay in one spot. So many countries welcome me with open arms! But I keep returning to my favourite place and where some Hot Wheels can be found! Actually, wherever I am I feel like a queen. Overall though, life as a Cow Girl makes me feel good! Like a guy winning a singing competition!
Song:Here You Come Again by Dolly Parton
Guesses: Charli Robinson, Chelsea Handler, Courtney Act, Rebel Wilson
Clues: Hello sailor! Tonight I am turning back time when fishnets were not just found in the ocean. I’m ready to make a splash!
Orcas can be found all over the world – some migrate. You see, we even enjoy the heat! Although you can find Orcas all over the world. New Zealand, Italy, Poland… Poland?! You know, some people think Orcas are dangerous, that we have a dark side, that we leave our prey all torn, but you’ll just have to let me tell my own story.
Song:Turn Back Time by Cher
Guesses: Toni Childs, Bic Runga, Natalie Imbruglia, Sheryl Crow
Clues: It’s time to head to the other side of the century, where overalls, double denim, grunge and hip-hop ruled the ‘90s.
You mighty ask why I’m holding an old farming implement, I don’t really know. I grew up in the big smoke! Ooh, it’s sharp. I heal fast! Now I know people feel crushing fear when they see me approaching. I get it, but despite what I do for a living, I don’t feel like I have bloodstains on my hands. And don’t confuse me for a vampire, or a werewolf howling at the moon. A silver bullet won’t kill me… but I love platinum! To you, this is a graveyard. Maybe you’ll see the devil. But I know there are delights still to come.
Song:Breathe Again by Toni Braxton
Guesses: Jason Derulo, Daniel Johns, Michael Stipe, Andrew Tierney
The Masked Singer Australia continues Monday at 7.30pm on 10 And 10 Play.
It’s episode 47 of The Block 2023 and if you can believe it, it’s the final countdown!
It’s the start of Front Yard and Facade (Whole House) Week and our mighty Blockheads are completing their front gardens and wrapping up the remaining tasks for their houses.
Over in House Five, Eliza and Liberty are incredibly disappointed with the judges’ harsh criticism of their backyard, especially given the effort they put in. Instead of powering through, they decide the only way to cope with the negative feedback is to take some time away from the show.
Eliza with Steph and Gian. Nine
Kyle and Leslie’s grim budget discovery
Meanwhile, Kyle and Leslie have realised they have precisely zero dollars left in their budget, prompting them to come up with a plan to sell their gnome to Steph and Gian.
While having nothing left is motivation in itself, they’re also hellbent on preventing their neighbours Leah and Ash from winning the Ford Mustang. Speaking of Leah and Ash, they’ve been holding onto their own gnome for weeks, hoping to secure Ash’ Holy Grail a.k.a the Ford in the final week.
Kyle and Leslie. Nine
The Final Dinner
Given it’s the final week, Scotty organises one last dinner for the Blockheads. While everyone else is in attendance, Eliza and Liberty are still disappointed and don’t show up.
Concurrently, Leah is still upset with Leslie over their previous encounter and feels betrayed. Trying to be the bigger person, she attempts to talk to her, but it leads nowhere.
