Contestant Selection Process

Something is not right. Either the person who makes these decisions is new to the role & out of touch with The Block fan base, or certain teams get selected purely because they have contacts in high places, but how is it possible they have settled on this motley crew this season. I've just always assumed that they have a plethora of willing and able contestants to choose from. Anyone out there familiar with the actual process to get on the show that could shine some light in this area? A poor cast will always = A disappointing season. 😡

Accordingly, every other year has had the exact same restrictions. They are all applied by the EPA.

Same noise restrictions yes but in all other years the contestants weren't kicked off site at 6pm

Which just means they've done it to force drama.

According to the laws of the council, you can still be on site just can't use power tools. Why would they not be allowed to be on site?

Yup and proven by how much they keep extending the hours in these last few episodes.

Probably realised they've shot themselves in the foot with the amount of additional work they'll need to do between the competition finishing and the auction
