The contestants arrived back at their houses to see how progress had continued in their absence. Peter welcomed Sam to his team, while the Sky Blues learned to cope after Kathy’s elimination. Peter stopped by to go through their budget, expressing major concern, before taking them to a nearby similar property to get some ideas. Baz checked in on progress at The Weatherboard House, with Robyn making stops at The Shop and The Fibro Cottage. Brendan concluded the visits at The Half-Done House, querying the lack of funds for landscaping and furniture and giving Peter plenty of food for thought.
