Three bedders versus two bedders set The Block All Stars auction battle scenario
Jonathan ChancellorFeb 28, 2013

Two contestant couples on The Block Allstars have built designated third bedrooms. The other two contestant couples stuck with the two-bedroom plan and offer a study.

The contestants Phil and Amity along with Mark and Duncan  have the three bedroom options which are set for March 19 auction. 

The young Melbourne contestant couples Josh and Jenna and Dan and Dani have the two bedroom options, although Dan and Dani reckon they might find a way to turn their attic space into a bedroom rather than a storage option.

Price estimates start at a cautious $1.4 million plus, with another offered since marketing at $1.5 million plus.

Phil and Amity who appeared in the initial 2003 series at Bondi Beach taking home a $60,000 profit despite coming last, have suggested their third bedroom could boost the selling price by $100,000. They have 12 Tasman Street (floorplan below).

Mark and Duncan, who came to be known as the Two Fat Tradies, struggled with styling in the 2010 series. Like Phil and Amity, they also finished fourth, splitting $47,000 between them after the Vaucluse renovation. They have 10 Tasman Street (floorplans below).

Josh and Jenna, when they appeared in the Richmond cottage series in 2011, were the youngest couple to ever appear in the series. They still hold the record for the most Room Reveal wins in The Block's 10-year history. They have 8 Tasman Street (floorplans below). They have a smaller attic offering of about 4 metres by 2.6 metres.
