In a candid revelation that has stunned fans, Scott Cam has admitted he never anticipated the runaway success of The Block when it first launched.
The veteran host, who has fronted the popular Channel Nine renovation series since its inception, confessed he initially doubted the show's longevity during a recent interview.
'It Was Meant to Be a One-Off'
'Honestly, I thought it would be a one-season wonder,' Cam revealed. 'The concept was great, but I never imagined we'd still be going strong after all these years.'
The Gold Logie winner, 60, has become synonymous with the reality TV juggernaut, which first aired in 2003 and is now preparing for its 19th season.
The Secret to The Block's Success
Cam attributes the show's enduring popularity to its authentic format and the genuine drama that unfolds between contestants.
- 'Viewers love seeing real people tackling real renovations,' he explained
- 'The pressure cooker environment creates amazing television'
- 'Australians have always had a passion for property'
With ratings consistently strong and spin-off series proving successful, Cam now believes The Block could continue for many more years to come.
What's Next for The Block?
As production ramps up for the new season, Cam teased some exciting changes while promising to maintain the show's winning formula.
'We've got some fresh twists that will really challenge our contestants,' he hinted, without revealing specific details.
The beloved host also confirmed he has no plans to step away from the show anytime soon: 'As long as the viewers keep watching, I'll keep hosting!'
