Block judges lose it over Tayla's bizarre styling choices

Tayla and Rick finished fifth after judges found their guest suite's styling bizarre.

During Sunday's episode, Tayla and Rick revealed their guest suite with Rick recovering from an injury offsite. Tayla handled the styling, which the judges found baffling.

The study nook held a kettle, an outdoor chair, and a pot plant hidden under the desk. An air fryer recipe book and a gift-wrapped wine bottle on the bedside table added to the oddities.

Shaynna Blaze laughed so hard she had tears streaming down her face. The judges declared the room unsellable.

They scored 17 out of 30, finishing in fifth place while winners Courtney and Sev scored 29.5. They also exceeded their budget by almost $11,000, spending $30,406 against a budgeted $19,601.
