Jason and Sarah get lowest score in The Block history

MELBOURNE’S Jason and Sarah on The Block received the lowest score in history on the show for their master suite room reveal - three zeros - in what they described as a “week from hell.”

The pair didn’t finish the plastering on their master suite and failed to deliver the room - the largest space contestants have attempted in the history of they show - they say because of budget issues and a tough week personally.

On the day of the room reveal filming, the couple sent their three children off at Melbourne Airport to Europe, soon after the Manchester and London terror attacks.

Sarah told News Corp when she heard the judges Shaynna Blaze, Neale Whitaker and Darren Palmer’s comments, their whole world came crashing down right at that moment.

“The judges were very unimpressed, they found it arrogant and rude,” she said.

“They didn’t know what we had done all week, and that was really hard to hear.

“We knew we were going to cop a bad report from that, but we weren’t quite prepared for how bad it was.

“We had only just seen our kids off at the airport before the room reveal filming, and it was all very raw.

“We had a pretty emotional day, and it was just another beating really.

“I thought, I can take this, because I’m already emotionally exhausted.

“But it was certainly hard to hear, it was an awful experience.”

Host Scott Cam didn’t have much sympathy for Jason and Sarah, telling them they had to finish the master suite, and the next room, or they would be kicked off the show.

“10,000 couples applied to be on this series of The Block and wanted the opportunity you have now,” he chastised the pair.

“You need to go hard or go home.”

Later, Cam told Newscorp: “I was pretty angry. I was disappointed. I was upset.”

“It is a slap in the face. All of us have family issues on The Block. We’re all away from our children.

“Ronnie and Georgia’s kids are 3500 kilometres away (in Perth). Hannah and Clint are missing their kids. I’m missing my kids.

“They say they didn’t give up but they gave up. They just couldn’t be bothered.”

Sarah said it’s easy for anyone to judge them and their performance on the show, but it is harder then people realise.

“It’s incredibly tough, a lot more than anyone can imagine,” she said.

“I work full time and run around after three kids and I thought my life was busy, but it’s a very different experience all together.

“It’s mentally draining and physically draining.

“Everyone is wanting a piece of you every five seconds, you don’t get a moment to breath.

“You are constantly making a decision about what to do next.

“Apart from that there is the physical side, you are sleep-deprived, you are up very late.

“It’s really tough.

“People can sit back and they can judge and say whatever they like, but they don’t know anything about us.

“They only see what they see on television.”

Sarah said after the awful night and the three zeros, things started to turn around for them, the very next day.

“The following day we had a lot of support from the fellow contestants and a lot of encouragement,” she said.

“That really lifted our spirits.

“Also by the time Monday came, we knew our kids had arrived safely where they had gone, and just had to pick ourselves up and get this done and move forward.

“Things got incredibly easier after that week.”

Melbourne’s Josh and Elyse ended up winning the master suite reveal with a score of 28.5, followed by Ronnie and Georgia on 28, Clint and Hannah on 25, and Sticks and Wombat on 24.5.
