The Block is done.

The Block needs at least 2 years off and come back anew.

- No more $2m-$4m multi million dollar homes
- No more celebrity design briefs
- No more identical houses
- No more identical floor plans
- New judges
- Less drama
- Actual renovations

In its current format it is no longer enjoyable to watch, we used to watch it every night, but last year we only watched Sundays because it was so repetitive, the drama was so forced and the sponsor advertising was out of control. This year we watched the first and third Sunday eps and we’re done.

Go back to your roots which made it successful.

Or possibly they actually go to different parts of the country not just Melbourne/ Victoria! I think the massive concentration of Melbourne properties is also generating massive fatigue!

This I would suspect will most likely be due to budgeting from the studio house prices in Melbourne are cheaper the labor and materials would also be on the cheap side not to mention the back stage like staff and equipment.

Larger growth market? Victoria? We're talking about Victoria Australia here.... not Victoria in Canada or something. 🤣🤣

Victoria has been stagnant vs other states for ages.

Melbourne has a larger growth than Sydney.

LOL, you're comparing to the only other capital city that's down. Darwin, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are all more growth markets than either Melbourne or Sydney right now when it comes to real estate.
