Season chronology

The Glasshouse building is at 121-127 High Street Prahran, Melbourne. The building is double the size of the previous season's building, Dux House, and was the biggest block to date. For a first in any block season, not only do the judges vote on the contestants rooms, but the contestants judge each other's rooms. Shannon and Simon Voss were the eventual winners of the show with a $335,000 profit on a sale price of $1.9 million plus an additional $100,000 bonus prize.
