Is The Block On Tonight? Tuesday 13 October: Backyard and Garage Week, Episode 43
On Tuesday 13 October Nine's yourTV guide for Sydney lists episode 43 of The Block at 7.31pm, straight after A Current Affair. It's the second of three build nights before Sunday's reveal.
The gist:
- Yes, The Block is on Nine and 9Now on Tuesday 13 October at 7.30pm AEDT, and it's a new episode: season 22, episode 43, Backyard and Garage Week.
- Nine's guide gives it 73 minutes, the same figure TVmaze carries.
- Wednesday 14 October is episode 44 at the same time. Nine's guide now lists it at 77 minutes; TVmaze rounds it to 75.
Is The Block on tonight, Tuesday 13 October?
Yes. Nine's yourTV listing for Sydney, read on the morning of Tuesday 13 October, has The Block at 7.31pm as season 22, episode 43, Backyard and Garage Week, tagged as a new episode. TVmaze has the same episode number and title at 7.30pm.
What time is The Block on tonight?
7.30pm AEDT on Nine; the guide prints 7.31pm because A Current Affair runs to the minute. That's the Sydney clock; for Brisbane, Darwin or Perth, which stayed off daylight saving, use the capital city times guide.
What happens on The Block on Tuesday 13 October?
Both Nine's guide and TVmaze describe episode 43 the same way: "Tensions run high as the Blockheads face not being able to complete their enormous backyards and garage spaces." Neither lists guests or a challenge for the night, so we're not guessing at either.
Is tonight's episode new, or a repeat?
New. Nine's guide lists Monday's episode 42 again at 12.00pm on Tuesday 13 October, 78 minutes, which is the one to catch up on if you missed it; the 7.31pm episode is the first airing of 43.
What's on against The Block at 7.30pm?
10 has Sydney Harbour Cops and SBS has The Jury: Skeleton in the Garden at 7.30pm in the Sydney guide. TVmaze lists My Kitchen Rules on Seven and 7.30 on ABC at the same time.
When is the next room reveal on The Block?
Sunday 18 October at 7.00pm AEDT. Nine's guide lists it as episode 45, the Backyard and Garage Reveal, 100 minutes, with the note "Find out who wins backyard and garage week." Monday 19 October then starts Front Yard and Façade Week at 7.30pm (episode 46, 70 minutes). Sunday has been bumped for sport before (the 4 October explainer), so glance at the guide that afternoon.
Last Sunday's scores are on the Outdoor Terrace and Pool results page, and Monday's episode is in the 12 October guide. As of Tuesday 13 October there's still no auction date from Nine; the auction guide tracks it, and the how-to-watch guide has the whole season.
