Is The Block on tonight, Wednesday 14 October?
Yes. Nine's guide for Sydney, read on the morning of Wednesday 14 October, has The Block at 7.31pm on Nine, with another airing at 12.00pm the same day. TVmaze has episode 44, Backyard and Garage Week, at 7.30pm.
What time is The Block on tonight?
7.30pm AEDT on Nine, and 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 Wednesday 14 October?
TVmaze describes episode 44 this way: "The teams participate in two challenges that deliver some light-hearted relief for the Blockheads and help them with their dwindling budgets." That's the only description we've found for the night, so we're not guessing at guests, prizes or who wins.
Is tonight's episode new, or a repeat?
TVmaze lists the 7.30pm episode as episode 44 of season 22, one episode on from Tuesday's 43, so it's the new one. The 12.00pm airing in Nine's guide is a separate, earlier slot.
What's on against The Block at 7.30pm?
TVmaze lists 7.30 on ABC at 7.30pm and Hard Quiz at 8.00pm on ABC. Home and Away is on Seven at 7.00pm. After The Block, Nine's guide has Chefs Ahoy at 8.48pm and 9News Late at 9.50pm.
When is the next room reveal on The Block?
Sunday 18 October at 7.00pm AEDT. TVmaze lists it as the Backyard and Garage Reveal, 100 minutes. Monday 19 October starts the next room week. 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 Tuesday's episode is in the 13 October guide. The auction guide tracks the auction date and the how-to-watch guide has the whole season. If you're after quiz shows instead, AU Quiz On Air has the weeknight lineup.
