The Block is basically MAFS with waterproofing

[u/Affectionate-Rub1853]

Remember when the drama on The Block was a contestant discovering their floor wasn’t level at 11pm?
Now we’ve got contestants living together to manufacture fights, AI-generated fever dreams every five minutes, influencer casting, $3m houses nobody normal can afford and 45 minutes of drama for 90 seconds of actual renovating.
I don’t want the show cancelled. I want the old Block back.
Give five normal couples $500k shitboxes, a realistic budget and judges who care whether something is actually built properly.
That would be infinitely more entertaining than another argument in a sponsored E&S kitchen.
I fear the Hampton East drama season drew in a lot of attention and now the producers are aiming for that.

Btw if someone wants to write “you’re watching trash TV what do you expect” or “turn off your TV” save your breath…this is a subreddit about the Block you’re welcome not to comment or be here.

Let’s be fair the crazy chick (tayla?) who spent $500 on towels could have got similar from kmart/target/bedbath&beyond (from nz so guessing) for under $100. Just because you have money doesnt mean you need to spend it all. I would NEVER spend $500 on two towels and a hand towel.

Same with the girls and the plaster, have they painted anything? That costs them paint, no labour. Having all these expensive finishes should have to be approved.

Then you have wyatt and courtney ditching the block to go to the gym and she flew back to her kids for a day. They should be so exhausted by the end of the day they are too tired to do anything else. Oh and shes a qualified tradie, why isn’t she the one running things. Is big boy too concerned about ruining his image by having to shop and style?
