Last night on The Block TV show, there was drama involving the contestants. Britt and Taz were penalized for starting their alfresco early while the other teams could not start their deck framework due to supply issues. This led to discussions about fairness and a body corporate meeting to stop Britt and Taz from working ahead until others caught up. Additionally, a bake-off challenge with a $10,000 prize started, judged by the local Country Women's Association. The contestants continue facing intense construction and design challenges, with tensions running high among teams.
Separately, the US government officially shut down after the Senate failed to pass a funding bill before the deadline. President Trump threatened mass layoffs among federal employees following the shutdown. Essential services will operate minimally, while nonessential ones are halted, causing widespread disruption.
In Munich, a fire in a detached house led to a major emergency response with one fatality and one injury reported.
