The Block Kitchen Reveal Results, Sunday 20 September: Adam and Jolene Win Kitchen Week and the $100,000

Quick answer: Adam and Jolene won Kitchen Week and the $100,000 with a raw 29 out of 30, then played their gnome on top of it. That two-point swing pushed House 1 past Courtney and Sev into the season lead for the first time. On Seven, four artists left The Voice and four went through to the grand finale.
Who won Kitchen Week on The Block tonight?
Adam and Jolene, House 1. Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox marked their kitchen 29 out of 30 — then the couple played the bonus gnome they had been sitting on, which took the card to a clean 30.
| House | Team | Score | Placing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adam & Jolene | 29 + gnome = 30 | 1st — $100,000 |
| 3 | Lisa & Rosco | 28½ | 2nd |
| 4 | Courtney & Sev | 27½ | 3rd |
| 5 | Rick & Tayla | 25½ | 4th |
| 2 | Chantel & Wyatt | 23 | 5th |
Marty Fox called it one of the best kitchens he has seen in twenty years. The detail the judges kept coming back to was light: three skylights sit directly over the island bench and the cooking zone, so the middle of the room is lit without a downlight doing the work. The island itself is Dekton Ava, and Grafico runs through the lift shaft.
What did the $100,000 actually include?
Three parts, and only one of them is cash. There is $10,000 in the hand, $30,000 in gold bullion, and $60,000 of Dekton stone from Cosentino that can be spent anywhere on the property — which in practice means the rest of Adam and Jolene's build gets stone the other four houses have to budget for.
We flagged that split in Thursday's catch-up post before the reveal, and it is the reason a Kitchen Week win is worth more than the number on the cheque.

Who is leading The Block after seven rooms?
Adam and Jolene, by two points. Going in, Courtney and Sev had 145½ to House 1's 145 — the half-point gap we have been tracking since the guest suite. Tonight reversed it.
| House | Team | Weeks 1–6 | Kitchen | Total | Room wins |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adam & Jolene | 145 | 30 | 175 | 2 |
| 4 | Courtney & Sev | 145½ | 27½ | 173 | 3 |
| 3 | Lisa & Rosco | 132 | 28½ | 160½ | 1 |
| 2 | Chantel & Wyatt | 137 | 23 | 160 | 0 |
| 5 | Rick & Tayla | 122½ | 25½ | 148 | 1 |
Our tally, added up from every weekly scorecard this season. Third place moved too: Lisa and Rosco's 28½ lifted them over Chantel and Wyatt by half a point, after six weeks of sitting behind them. Chantel and Wyatt are still the only house without a room win, and 23 was the lowest card of the night.
The week that set this up is in Wednesday's write-up, and the guest suite scores that created the old half-point gap are in Monday's. Every night of the season is filed in the results archive.
Who went home on The Voice tonight?
Four artists, one from each team. Seven ran the semi-final from 7.00pm to 9.00pm, and the format gave each coach a single seat in the grand finale, so every pair split.
| Coach | Through to the grand finale | Out tonight |
|---|---|---|
| Ronan Keating | The 60Four | Leyla S., 12 |
| Melanie C | Yung Milla | Taylor Beadle-Williams |
| Kate Miller-Heidke | Daisha A., 15 | Charlotte June |
| Richard Marx | Tommy Novak | Tika Cetinich |
Ronan's call is the one being argued about tonight. His twelve-year-old had been a fancied pick to win the whole thing, and he sent the six-piece through instead. Sonia Kruger hosted.
When is The Voice grand finale?
Sunday 27 September at 7.00pm AEST, on Seven and 7plus. The four who made it — The 60Four, Yung Milla, Daisha Auda and Tommy Novak — sing for $100,000 and a recording and development package, one artist per coach. The detail sits on our finals page, and the finale shares its 7.00pm start with the rugby on Nine rather than a Block reveal — Nine moved that to the Monday.
What time was The Block on, and when is the repeat?
Seven o'clock to 8.41pm on Nine and 9Now, the same clock time in every capital, because the affiliates run delayed feeds. The full city-by-city breakdown is in our capital city times guide.
If you missed it: Nine repeats the reveal at noon on Monday and again at 1.35pm on Saturday, and the episode is on 9Now free now. The Voice semi-final is on 7plus. Neither is behind a paywall. Our Block viewing guide has the catch-up detail.
What's on The Block next?
Rumpus and Laundry Week, three nights of it. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday all start at 7.30pm on Nine, and the next reveal is Sunday 27 September at 7.00pm. The full run is mapped in next week's schedule, and each night lands in the Block section as it airs.
FAQ
Did Adam and Jolene need the gnome to win? No. Their raw 29 was already a point and a half clear of Lisa and Rosco's 28½, so the bonus point padded the card rather than decided it.
Is the $100,000 paid in cash? Only $10,000 of it. The rest is $30,000 in gold bullion and $60,000 of stone to use on the house.
Who is winning The Block 2026 overall? Adam and Jolene lead on our running tally, 175 to 173, with the auction still the thing that decides the season. Courtney and Sev still have the most room wins at three.
