Couples compete against each other to renovate houses and sell them at auction for the highest price.

After spending 11 weeks transforming their incredible luxury apartments, the Blockheads will compete in teams to makeover the family home of two sisters, Jeannette and Sarah-Maree, both diagnosed with cervical cancer. The Block couples will be split into two teams for the job: Team Shaynna with Alisa, Bec, Madi, Johnno and Matt; and Team Darren with Lysandra, George, Trixie, Kim and Jarrod. They have three days to revamp this rundown, undersized, three-bedroom family home. Expect walls to be knocked down and the biggest backyard makeover in Domestic Blitz history.
