By no means! There have been several seasons where homes have failed to sell at auction and have been passed in. Records also show that Block homes have an incredibly high buyer retention rate, meaning — most of the original bidders are still listed as owners of the properties. Who buys them? All properties for sale through The Block are put up for public auction - meaning absolutely anyone can bid!
Followed categories will be added to My News. And walking away with some money — as pitiful as it might have seemed on auction day — is a whole lot better than most reality show runners-up and contestants who receive bugger all, other than a few invites to the latest clubs and events during their five seconds. Perhaps the last few seasons of The Block and the staggering prize money they all received come auction day, gave T he Block Glasshouse contestants some false hope.
None of it has any certainty. Gamble is the operative word here. Both teams are renovation powerhouses who don't plan on letting any newbies show them up. If you weren't already seeing double, irresistibly charismatic identical twins Josh and Luke 27 , who made their television debut on Love Island Australia in , are having a crack at the show. The exact location of The Block is Bronte Court in Hampton , which is a picturesque suburban cul-de-sac.
Five properties have been purchased. One of the homes belonged to buyer's advocate and The Block regular Nicole Jacobs. Block fans would remember Nicole has helped her clients purchase 13 Block properties over the years. With a prior knowledge of Mitch and Mark and Ronnie and Georgia, we have a feeling the feedback given out during judging at HQ might get interesting.
While Norm is a builder by trade, the couple just could not land a win during the early part of the season, finally achieving a perfect score of 30 during terrace week. During the competition, Jess had to be flown to hospital after getting a bug stuck in her ear. Brave Jess eventually returned and came third, coming just behind runner-up Grant Denyer and winner, Abbie Chatfield. Jess also released a book Why Wouldn't Ya? Winners of The Block , Josh and Elyse, made headlines not just for their success on the show but for who they sold their home to.
The best part? He only decided the day before the auction that he was going to place a bid! Seasoned renovators Ronnie and Georgia breezed through their time on The Block , picking up plenty of room wins along the way. Prepared to go to all lengths to win the competition, the couple quickly became known as the black sheep of the competition that fans either loved or hated.
In they hosted their own renovation show Quick Room Flips and made a guest appearance on The Block. Most recently, they renovated their own home, a s cottage in WA.
In it for the fun and the experience, loveable larrikins Sticks and Wombat came fourth during the Elsternwick season. Sticks and Wombat remain good friends, but their main focus has been on raising their young families. Wombat and his wife welcomed a daughter Charlie in late , while Sticks and his wife welcomed a daughter in March Sticks continues to run his photography business , while Wombat has established a loyal following on Instagram diaryofawombat who enjoy tuning into his DIY videos, sustainability tips and road-tripping escapades.
While their Block journey was some time ago, the couple continue to pick up the tools from time to time. Most recently they purchased a Queenslander and renovated it. The pair listed the home for sale in The couple also co-founded EcoGro , a company selling premium organic fertilisers and eco gardening products. In August , the couple welcomed a daughter, Indigo. Shay's talent for styling was especially praised by the judges, who awarded the couple five room wins throughout the season.
Shay also runs a mind and body coaching business. Kingi and Caro were the couple to beat during The Blocktagon. Go-getter Caro always had her budget on point, while Kingi's cement-rendering skills were a highlight of the season.
While the couple won kitchen week, laundry week and guest bedroom week, they placed third in the competition, behind young guns Dean and Shay and siblings Luke and Ebony. Since The Block wrapped up, the pair have been busier than ever, launching KCT Creative , a creative rendering company.
