Viewers of Channel 9's hit renovation show The Block have erupted in outrage after a surprising twist left contestants scrambling—and many fans calling foul.
In a dramatic turn of events, the show introduced a last-minute rule change that heavily favoured one team, leaving others struggling to keep up. Social media exploded with criticism, with many branding the decision 'unfair' and 'rigged.'
What Sparked the Backlash?
The controversy began when producers allowed one team to secure a major advantage, giving them access to additional resources while others were left empty-handed. Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent their frustrations.
- 'This is blatant favouritism!' – one viewer wrote.
- 'How is this even fair? The others didn’t stand a chance.' – another complained.
Viewers Demand Change
Many long-time fans of the show argued that the twist undermined the spirit of competition, with some even threatening to stop watching altogether.
'The Block used to be about skill and hard work. Now it feels like drama for the sake of drama,' lamented a disappointed fan.
Will producers address the backlash, or will the controversy fuel even more drama in upcoming episodes? Fans will have to tune in to find out.
