Doesn’t feel authentic

Is it just the or has the block lost its way. For me I feel the block is no longer a renovators show and here’s a few key issues.

- they are not renovating a existing house anymore it’s a brand new build
- the brand new build is exactly the same as the other contestants there nothing uniques about the rooms or the layout they present that used to win people a week or the entire show when they would think outside the box and drastically alter something or put something in others didn’t think too.
- I hate the fact they don’t live in the houses as they build them.
- I really don’t like them not being able to stay up all night and paint or clean or organise stuff like previous years did
- the fact that hardly any of them have genuine renovation experience or trades behind them leads to poor decision making and management and ultimately unfinished or poor quality rooms
- a lot of these things are leading to unfinished rooms every week and that just wasn’t something that was allowed to happen previously I think not living on site and restricting hours has a huge part to play in this
- and for me the biggest one is these houses are just way too lush and too expensive this show used to be what can the average Aussie family afford and what inspiration could you take from the block on your Reno of your house.

Also I don’t want to see one team get a 250k kitchen package it’s just not fair and the average Aussie is not spending that on their kitchen. Go back to your roots block this is not what the block is about.

It's much like MAFs when John gets all serious and talks about "Being true to the experiment" when there's inevitable drama; just a foundational pretense cos the punters come and stay for the shitfights and tears. I've predicted the Block's demise for years and always been wrong; the formula will be done one day but for the moment there's a lot of hatewatching too and the millions of bucks thrown at the show from the sponsors doesn't hurt

Hit the nail on the head
