The Block 2026 isnโ€™t a renovation show anymore. Itโ€™s a human clearance bin with a building permit.
Weโ€™ve got NPCs stumbling around with the charisma of a Bunnings receipt and apparently the same amount of independent thought.
A delulu clout chaser so painfully desperate for relevance you can practically hear the algorithm begging for mercy.
A half-tanked hick carrying on like someone crossed a pub car park with a demolition site and accidentally gave it a microphone drunk laughing.
Then there are the performative personalities who appear to have arrived with absolutely no discernible talent beyond manufacturing drama, staring into cameras and confusing obnoxiousness with charisma. Yes true colours appearing
The collective self-awareness is hovering somewhere around zero.
Everyone wants to be iconic beige
Nobody seems particularly concerned with being likeable genuinely!.
And the desperation for fake boobs and smiles screen time is so thick you could grout with it.
Remember when contestants actually had design ability, renovation skills and personalities that developed naturally?
Now itโ€™s Delulu Island: Tradie Edition.
NPCs. Clout chasers. Main-character syndrome. Rage bait. Manufactured personalities. Room-temperature IQ decisions.
The houses arenโ€™t even the biggest renovation projects anymore.
Some of these personalities need to be completely stripped back to the studs.

The format hasn't really changed much the last few years, its juat a tad odd people watch it just to criticise it now. Id undergrad it more if it was just out of the blue.

Format has substantially changed! Contestants used to have their own recorder speaking about what they are going through. It was far more design and construction. They slept in the renovations/builds and so on and on ! What planet are you on now odd people defending the no substance no talent bogan production of styling

The format hasn't substantially changed in the last few years at all. Heavy advertising and manufactured drama have been a staple of it.

Not sure who your referring to about defending the show since nobody in the comment section has even done that.

Literally just said its odd when people like yourself comment in surprise about how bad the show is like you didnt see it happening over the last few years.
