The Block's notoriously strict foreman, Keith Schleiger, has launched a blistering attack on tradesmen working on the Channel Nine building site, exposing a culture of disrespect and unprofessionalism behind the scenes of Australia's favourite renovation show.
In an exclusive revelation, Keith was captured on camera delivering a furious dressing-down to a group of contractors, labelling their behaviour an 'absolute disgrace'. The seasoned foreman, known for his no-nonsense approach, did not hold back in his criticism of the site's condition.
A Site in Disarray
Schleiger's fury was ignited upon discovering the worksite left in a shocking state. He pointed to overflowing bins, discarded building materials, and general filth that had been left for others to clean up. For Keith, this was more than just a mess; it was a profound sign of disrespect towards the show, the production, and their own profession.
'You are paid to do a job, and that job includes leaving a site in a respectable condition,' he fumed, highlighting a basic standard that had been severely neglected.
More Than Just a Mess
The core of Keith's anger stemmed from the blatant lack of pride and professionalism. He accused the tradies of taking advantage of the production and showing zero respect for the homeowners who would eventually inherit the property. This incident sheds light on the immense pressure and logistical nightmares that producers and foremen face off-camera, often overlooked by viewers who only see the finished product on screen.
The confrontation serves as a stark reminder that the path to creating dream homes is often paved with conflict, strict deadlines, and the immense challenge of managing large teams of contractors under the glare of television cameras.
