A slab of Vodka Cruisers has caused chaos on The Block, after one team managed to bribe a tradesman to get ahead on bathroom week.
Faced with the fear of not finishing on time, glamorous former neighbors actress Sharon, from House 3, was furious to hear her appointment for underfloor heating installation was bumped by another contestant.
It turns out it was nabbed by House 4’s apprentice Chippy Jenny, who used the age-old bribery tactic to coax the installers into attending their house first.
Moaning about the sneaky move to fellow contestant Rachel, Sharon was heard calling the unknown culprit “some d*ckheads” while waiting for a coffee at McCafe.
“Have you guys got your underfloor heating booked in?” Rachel had asked.
“Ours was supposed to be first but some d*ckheads cut the line and now we’re like second or third… D*ckheads as in our friends on the show, other contestants,” Sharon fumed.
“I don’t know how they do that, I called every day and I’m like ‘Are you sure we’re first? Are you sure we’re first’ … And all of a sudden they’re at someone else’s house,” she added, concluding that while she “loves everybody” on the show “there was a process in order”.
Elsewhere, Jenny was busy bragging about her one-up on the other teams.
“Last night I called the underfloor heating guy and just said ‘what can I do for you so you can come earlier?’ and he said ‘you can buy me some cruisers’,” she laughed as the camera panned over a slab of the popular vodka drink.
While Sharon wasn’t impressed by the dirty gameplay, House 1’s Sarah-Jane gave Jenny credit for the move.
“Jenny is good. She bribed them, she bribed them with a slab of cruisers to come first at 6 o’clock,” the mother-of-one told producers.
“I respect the hustle… I was like ‘touche b*tch, touche’… I’ll be on the cruisers next week,” she said.
It comes as the teams battle it out for the biggest prize ever on The Blockwith the bathroom week winner to be awarded a bonus $250,000 kitchen upgrade on top of the $10,000 cash.
The rooms and winners will be revealed on Sunday night’s episode, airing from 7.30pm on Channel 9.
