The couple consistently provides elegant rooms in refined neutral tones. This has won them multiple room victories.
But it is not easy, especially in terms of friendship with other contestants. When Ronnie and Georgia revealed the part of Josh and Luke in the cheating scandal, the connection was tested and almost completely broken.
However, they did establish close ties with rookies Kirsty and Jesse and all-star colleagues Mitch and Mark. In the end, Ronnie and Georgia realized that they were just as competitive as them.

When the judges entered the rooms of Ronnie and Georgia, the first thing they noticed was the soaring ceiling height. It became an iconic feature of this house, and the couple was beautifully highlighted and executed perfectly every time.
The rooms have an arched or curved theme
"Everything is well thought out-there are arches in the artwork, we have arches on the side table, look at the small curves on the wall," Shaynna said.
"It was considered terrible."
The cabinets have ample storage space and beautiful shelving units, showing the exquisite shape of Georgia.
"They have everything you want. Their style is beautiful, the interior decoration, all the installations-I mean there are so many things to love," Darren said. "This is Ronnie and Georgia 2.0."
The husband and wife team achieved their first victory in 2021 in this room and made other teams notice that they are back. They are serious.

When they walked into the bathroom, the high ceiling once again won the favor of the judges. In terms of design, it provides plenty of natural light for the space through skylights.
"Imagine taking a shower under the skylight on that roof. That's fascinating," Shaynna said.
Ronnie and Georgia used a color palette similar to their guest room.
"This is actually a very modern palette, especially when you pair it with brushed brass," Darren said. "It uses these warm colors. It feels more tactile."
In terms of functionality, Shaynna was frustrated with the location of the faucet handle away from the shower head.
"For me, living here will drive me crazy, with such a large, spacious bathroom, and the faucet here," she said.
"To actually turn it on, you have to be there, you have less control over it. It is good to put the control device close to the hand shower."
The bathroom has plenty of storage space, both on the face and on the dressing table. Although the oak dresser gave a thumbs up, Shaynna preferred matte white basins and countertops, and matte bathtubs.
Neil thinks the bathroom is great in many ways.
"Execution and delivery are very well done, I think it has entered luxury-even if it is very simple," he said.

It's that high ceiling again!
"When you walk through these beautiful doors, you enter a very spiritual space, honestly. The high ceilings are sensational," Georgia said of her and Ronnie's master bedroom.
The judges felt the same way.
"It's huge," Shaynna said.
"'Broad' will be the word I use. Like a cathedral," Darren added.
"Sometimes I wish there was something other than'Wow.' Like'OMFG'?" Neil admitted.
Ronnie and Georgia chose laminex paneling instead of feature walls with wallpaper or other paint colors.
"VJ panels have always existed, just like everyone does VJ-but it's like, boring. Give me something new! Give me something different," Georgia said.
The soft green choice complements the color palette the couple established in the first two rooms.
"Ronnie and Georgia are proving themselves to be masters of complexity and subtlety," Neal said.
"Some things have been seen before, but what Ronnie and Georgia seem to do well is to put them together. They have reached an extraordinary level."
After walking into "one of the most beautiful master bedrooms" The Block has ever seen, the judges were surprised to find that they were wearing a small and narrow walk-in robe.
"That sacred bedroom, with a small walk-in closet like this, is a wrong plan for me," Shaynna said.
Darren agrees with Shaynna and believes that the robe is a failure of the plan.
"Design is the way you decorate the space, but also the way you decorate your home. Therefore, this is to ensure that you have the right amount of amenities, not at the expense of some magnificent things," he said.
But he does like the palette in the space.
"They played the palette perfectly in two rooms. If I want to sell the house and it is presented to this level, I will be very satisfied with myself."

When you have this comfortable and charming cinema, why do you leave home to go to the cinema?
Ronnie and Georgia's home theater undoubtedly adds value to the property by providing buyers with their own gold experience.
"This room is almost like a Hollywood director living here to screen the first draft of his next Oscar-winning film. Everything is very cohesive and coherent, consistent with the contemporary luxury theme you see upstairs," Georgia Say.
The starry ceiling effect and furnishing choices were praised by Shaynna, Darren and Neale.
"I have to say, if you are going to make a movie room, I am very happy to see the furniture like a lounge and it feels really relaxing. Honestly, this is how I want to watch a movie," Darren said.
The neutral tones of other parts of the house also flow into the cinema room.
"They made this beautiful pastel hue on the carpet, office white linen, and then they made fillings on the wall, and then the beautiful glossy mushroom curtains. This is the perfection in the palette. ," Shana said.
The only objection from the judges was the lack of sound insulation from the basement to the upper floor.

The judges were once again impressed by Ronnie and Georgia's continued "neutral calm" color palette and mood.
"They just made the'Neutral Calm' very beautiful, like a color palette. We have bold green on the feature wall in [bedroom], but they just brought a little bit here, just on that tile The green is very soft," Shaynna commented.
However, she thinks the exhaust fan is too high.
"Because the ceiling is too high, the steam will stay on the ceiling," she said. "You really need to open the Velux or open the door to really exhaust the steam."
Darren disagreed and thought they were in the "right place".
Darren said this is a large master bedroom suite.
The judges, especially Shaynna, always like surface storage. The couple even remember to include a practical power outlet.
Shaynna described details such as the marble inlay on the dressing table as "sacred."
She also thinks it is very practical to push the sink to the side of the dressing table.
"So you will get a beautiful sense of space and practicality between the two," she said.
