On The Block it is time for the studios – the biggest rooms on the build. But it was all about another Body Corporate meeting and the aftermath. Keith and Dan’s builders seem to have let down Mitch and Mark in that the exterior work was far from finished on the studio space. There was more bad news for them later in the episode when the body corporate unanimously said “no” to their plans for a rooftop spa. If it wasn’t game on before, it certainly is now. “You f@#% with us…we will @#% with you,” said Mitch. It made for great viewing and it will be interesting to see how the remainder of the series unfolds. The Tuesday audience was 897,000 after 822,000 a week ago.
