The Block on Channel 9 – The dramatic fallout between Kristy and Brett and Eliza and Liberty at Scotty’s HQ is what everyone is talking about on The Block.
Eliza tried to call out Kristy on her behaviour and Kristy was having none of it, sticking to her story that Eliza and her sister Liberty get special treatment on The Block. Both Eliza and Liberty think Kristy and Brett talk disgusting to people on the show including their best mate Steph, and they want to call her out.
Kristy on the other hand thinks Eliza has shown her true colours and believes they have nothing to lose, so why not burn down The Block?
The drama comes as the Blockheads renovate and build their master ensuite bathrooms.
Leah is at the center of it all in what will be a very emotional week for her and her husband Ash on the show. She is starting to become concerned that her friendship with Kristy will have a negative impact on her and Ash’s experience on The Block. She feels she will be guilty by association.
Eliza and Liberty have had a drama packed week. They got rid of their builders Mark and Dave, and this week welcomed the new team Robbie and Chris.
Scotty and Alice Stolz from Domain announce to the contestants that it’s Domain Listing challenge time. In just a few days our Blockheads not only have to create a Domain listing for the website of their house, but also welcome 100 buyers to check out – and judge – all the rooms they have completed so far. The prize is a Block record of $50,000 dollars.
Eliza and Liberty go away for their Ford getaway with Scott, and brief him on all the drama back at The Block.
Our Blockheads all get ready for the Domain challenge, but the drama between Kristy and Brett and Leah and Ash – and throw in Eliza and Liberty – is on everyone’s lips.
About The Block
Get ready, Australia. The Block, the number one renovation reality program, returns for an incredible 19th season on Sunday, August 6, at 7.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Set in the family-friendly Melbourne suburb of Hampton East, the new series features five houses designed and built in the 1950s and located on the aptly named Charming Street. These grand old dames are now aged in their 70s and way overdue for a contemporary update.
For the first time in Block history, host Scott Cam will be providing contestants with the full renovation schedule ahead of time this season. So get your cameras out, Blockheads, it’s photo time.
Adding to the year of Block firsts and amping up the stakes at play during the 48-hour House Decider Challenge, contestants will be seeing all finished designs of the houses on Day 1. Who will prevail and get the house of their choice?
Not only will they get the schedule and designs up front, but in another first, they’ll receive their entire budgets as well.
However, the Blockheads will soon find out that it’s not all smooth sailing when renovating an original 1950s home – structural issues, extreme weather events, and a mountain of demolition will test our five keen couples every step of the way.
Plus, The Block’s state-versus-state rivalry will be amplified by the sheer closeness of the houses this year. Who knew being able to peak into your neighbours builds would cause such tension?
The couples in contention are: sisters Eliza and Liberty Paschke (personal assistant, 37, and integration producer, 34, VIC); parents Kyle and Leslie Cottone (firefighter, 36, and teaching aide, 34, WA); parents Leah and Ash Milton (first aid officer, 31, and builder, 36, QLD); married couple Kristy and Brett Beames (project manager, 34, and safety officer, 34, SA); and newlyweds Steph and Gian Ottavio (architect, 27, and start up worker, 27, NSW).
Real estate expert Marty Fox isn’t the only new addition to the lineup this season. The formidable foremen Keith Schleiger and Dan Reilly will be joined on site with the fan favourite from last year, Tom Calleja.
The nation fell in love with Tom and his wife Sarah-Jane because of their work ethic and relatable marital bickering, and he jumped at the chance to work with Scotty and come back as this year’s official Block plumber.
The designs of the amazing homes in this series again come from The Block’s resident architect, Julian Brenchley.
At stake is $100,000 for the overall winner of The Block, on top of any profit the five couples can all make on the critical auction day. Plus bragging rights for the winners’ state.
Since premiering on Channel 9 in 2003, Australia’s richest reality program has awarded a total of $32,592,807.65 in prizemoney.
The Block on Channel 9 and 9Now – Monday 25 September, 2023 at 7.30pm.
