With Dale languishing in hospital and Sophie out of her mind with worry, it looked like there was no a chance they'd have their room ready for reveal day.

Luckily Dale and Sophie have six guardian angels looking out for them.

"All the other couples did the painting for me," Sophie says, clearly touched by their gesture.

"I cried. First time all season! I wasn't expecting it. Lara came in first, and I expected that, because she is adorable, but the others kept coming."

"We had to. It was a bad situation for them to be in," Lara explains.

"The one place you don't want to be sick is The Block. If it was me, laying in hospital, going crazy because of all the stuff that needed doing, I don't know what I would do," Brad adds.

It was Lara's idea to lend a hand, and Brad checked with the producers to see if it was allowed.

"They said if you're on The Block, you can paint on The Block, you just can't get outside help," Lara says.

And when they got the green light, it was all hands on deck.

"You just do what you have to do," says Dan. "You can't let someone finish last because of something like that."
