Lisa是一名医护人员，Rosco在皮尔巴拉从事飞进飞出（FIFO）工作，这对西澳夫妇成为家装改造真人秀《The Block》的参赛者。[1]他们接到Channel Nine的参赛通知时，距离节目开始仅有9天时间。[1]在这短短的准备期内，两人需要同时处理多项紧迫事务：为两岁的儿子Lando找到日托机构并完成试用期，安排自身工作请假，同时确保在Bullsbrook附近进行的自建房项目能在他们参赛期间继续推进。[1]
Lisa表示，作为医护人员，自己在高压混乱的环境中表现最佳，特别享受节目中每周日早晨的清洁和造型环节。[1]相比之下，Rosco指出FIFO工作让他习惯了充足的资源供应，而《The Block》则要求参赛者在资源有限的情况下发挥创意解决问题。[1]该节目每周日至周三晚7:30在Channel Nine播出。[1]
A Western Australian couple has joined the cast of The Block, Australia's premier home renovation reality television competition, despite having minimal time to prepare for their participation. Lisa, a paramedic, and Rosco, who works in the Pilbara using the FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) employment model, received notification from Channel Nine just nine days before the competition began [1].
The compressed timeline forced the couple to juggle multiple urgent tasks simultaneously [1]. They needed to secure childcare for their two-year-old son, Lando, and complete his trial period at a day care facility within those nine days [1]. Concurrently, their self-build home project near Bullsbrook required coordination with their construction team to continue work while they competed on the show [1]. Lisa draws on her professional experience in high-pressure, chaotic environments to manage the demands, noting that she performs best under such conditions and particularly enjoys the Sunday morning cleaning and styling tasks each week [1]. Rosco, accustomed to FIFO work where resources are typically abundant, has had to adapt to The Block's requirement to solve problems creatively within resource constraints [1]. The show airs from Sunday to Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. on Channel Nine [1].
