The Block’s Steph and Gian Ottavio mocked by judges for delivering totally ‘useless’ beige kid’s room: ‘This is next level’
Steph and Gian Ottavio got off to a rocky start on Sunday’s premiere episode of the new season of The Block. Â
The childhood sweethearts were tasked with designing a children’s room themed after the character Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story films.Â
But the couple threw the bright, cartoonish brief out of the window, creating a beige room with heavy wooden furniture.Â
Judge Shaynna Blaze was shocked as she looked around the space, calling a rope ladder the pair installed, ‘just useless.’
‘The fact you’re not listening to the brief, what are you presenting to us? I mean, it’s not even a kid’s room,’ she said.Â

Also unimpressed, judge Neale Whittaker chimed in, ‘The brief was to create a kid’s room.Â
‘If they were thinking they’d take a bit of a punt and show the judges they’re sophisticated and grown up, and we’d walk in and be wowed. FAIL’.Â
Inspecting a heavy set of drawers, he added sarcastically, ‘I mean, every child’s dream, surely.
‘It’s not even a kids’ room,’ he added.Â

Addressing the couple, who looked disappointed indeed, host Scott Cam gave them a dressing down.Â
‘We’ve seen contestants before forget a brief and then do what they want. But this is next level,’ he said of the judges’ comments.Â
In the end, the married architect and start-up worker, came last in the rankings, scoring a low 14 out of 30.Â
