BRAD and Dale have won the second-last room reveal on The Block: Fans v Faves — master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe — by the narrowest of margins.

The pair grabbed a half-point victory over Steve and Chantelle after judge Neale Whitaker broke last night's deadlock from Darren Palmer and Shaynna Blaze.

The win came as Alisa and Lysandra as well as Steve and Chantelle revealed they had nearly run out of money to finish their Albert Park apartments.

Figures show that Kyal and Kara have monstered the competition with a whopping $54,800 in prize money from various challenge and room reveal wins.

The other three teams have been left in the dust with Steve and Chantelle nabbing $31,900, Alisa and Lysandra $28,500, and Brad and Dale $27,100.

That means Kyal and Kara have been able to plough over $20,000 more back into furnishings for their apartment — including a $8000 bath — which may pay off come auction day.

It also means some teams are struggling to have enough money to finish this week's exterior areas — the rooftop terrace and first floor terrace.

Alisa and Lysandra revealed on Monday night they have a budget of just $1000 left in the kitty.

"We have to be try and be creative on as little a budget as possible," the twins said.

Steve and Chantelle are also cash-strapped after blowing their budget by around $5000.

Brad and Dale added $10,000 to the kitty with tonight's win. They scored 28-and-a-half to Steve and Chantelle's 28, Alisa and Lysandra's 25, and Kyal and Kara's 22-and-a-half.

Brad and Dale's secret weapon was their bath in their master bedroom which was a hit with the judges.

The sheer size of the master bedroom and ensuite also impressed Palmer, Blaze, and Whitaker.

"I've got to take this in — this is nuts," Blaze said as she scanned the boys' master bedroom. "I think these guys have thought outside the square and this is what is going to blow people away — the fact that they will be so shocked when they walk in."

It was Brad and Dale's first room reveal since they scored big for their guest bathroom/laundry/terrace in week two.

"It has been good to get another win — it has been a long time coming," Brad said after the scores were revealed.

Steve and Chantelle couldn't hide their disappointment at being pipped by half a point.

"I'm super p***ed off tonight — I'm not going to lie about it," Steve said after the result was announced. "It is seven days of work to lost by half a point — that is shattering."

Steve and Chantelle's master bedroom featured timber walls, sheer curtains, and a charcoal-coloured padded bedhead. The pair's bathroom featured luxurious Aztec-style sinks.

"They've kept that raw industrial edge, which is absolutely on-brief, but they have still managed to give it a spin of a bit of glamour as well," Whitaker said.

Real estate agents estimate that Kyal and Kara's apartment will sell for around $2.2 million — just shy of the $2.25 million for Brad and Dale's.

Alisa and Lysandra's is tipped to sell for $2.05 million with Steve and Chantelle's only slightly less with $1.995 million.
