UPDATE: Contestants from the popular reality show The Block have returned to their builds in Daylesford, Victoria, just days ahead of the high-stakes auction set to begin. With a price guide ranging from $3 million to $3.5 million, the contestants are making a final push to showcase their renovations before the bidding war begins.
After an intense 12 weeks of construction filled with highs and lows, Sonny and Alicia are now living in House 4. “It feels a bit strange to finally be here,” Alicia shared. “When we first sat on the couch, Sonny stood up, thinking he had to get back to work!” The couple hosted 40 children from the Heart Kids Foundation on Friday, aiming to create lasting memories. “It’s just nice to bring them out and show them around,” Alicia added. Their real estate agent has a longstanding partnership with the foundation, donating part of the commission to support the kids.
Meanwhile, Han and Can are fully engaged in perfecting House 2. “We’re back here making sure it’s picture-perfect for auction day,” Can stated, emphasizing their commitment to attention to detail. The duo plans to stay in the house for a while to personally meet potential buyers. “We’re happy to be sold with the home. If someone wants us to stay, we could be here for 12 months,” Han remarked, highlighting their dedication to engaging with the local community.
Britt and Taz, originally from Newman, Western Australia, are also hard at work. “When we first got here, it was so green with trees everywhere. It was just beautiful,” Taz recalled. The couple is back in Daylesford for a few weeks, focusing on minor touch-ups after the rushed building process. “We genuinely want all contestants to do well,” Britt said, indicating a supportive spirit among the competitors.
