The Block: Foreman Keith spots a major defect in Omar and Oz’s bathroom

Block contestants Omar and Oz continue to bear the brunt of Foreman Keith Schleger after a major defect in their ceiling is discovered.

On Wednesday’s episode, Keith came by to inspect the roof of their winning bathroom and noted that a ceiling joist had been removed to accommodate a heat lamp.

The foreman said it was a huge safety issue and the gyproc could eventually collapse.

“I found something I didn’t want to see,” he told the boys. ‘I’m actually disgusted by it. I am really angry. I’m smoking.’

He continued: ‘There is a large span of about 1,500 mm with no framework around it. An IXL Tastic would weigh a few kilos. It’s going to fall through the plaster.’

Omar and Oz assured Keith that their team “does everything by the book,” but he didn’t have it.

Keith pointed out that the ceiling was already sagging 25mm and the couple had no insulation in the entire house, which had to be done “week after week.”

He then cracked up on the boys, accusing them of not doing any work.

“Every time I see you – I’m just being honest here – you’re on the phone. I’ve never seen you throw a punch. I’ve never seen you cut or nail or screw anything,” Keith said.

“No more silly things, guys. This can’t happen.’

Keith then stormed off before continuing his rant to producers.

“It’s just ridiculous… I’m just sick of all this rudeness,” he raged.

“It happens all the time. We constantly catch them doing the wrong things and it just has to stop.’

Shortly after contestant Ronnie Caceres arrived at the construction site, he suspected that Omar and Oz were saving money by letting their friends and family help for free.

Also this week, Western Sydney’s best friends were criticized for how little they’d spent on merchants so far, leading to suspicions that they weren’t paying them at all.

Shortly after contestant Ronnie Caceres arrived at the construction site, he suspected that Omar and Oz were saving money by letting their friends and family help for free.

In fact, if they use free labor, it gives them an unfair advantage over the other teams, who have to use money from their budget to pay their builders, scraps, electricians and plasterers.

Western Sydney’s best friends were criticized for how little they’d spent on merchants thus far, leading to the suspicion that they weren’t paying them at all. As revealed at the show last week, they only spent $7,500 plastering, which is a lot less than the other teams

Alarm bells started ringing for Ronnie, 46, the moment he set foot in Omar and Oz’s house and accused the boys of ‘dodgy deal’.

“Something isn’t right,” said the franchise veteran turned detective.

Having previously appeared on the renovation show Nine with his wife Georgia twice before, he knows everything there is to know about balancing a budget.

So the sight of more than a dozen tradies at work was a big red flag, especially after Omar and Oz got noticed last week for being so under budget.

“I counted 17 trades in House 5,” Ronnie said, adding, “Are these all your cousins?”
