In a shock move that sent ripples through the hit renovation show, The Block host Scott Cam was left visibly stunned and made a dramatic exit from filming after producers delivered a brutal blow to contestants.
The unprecedented twist, revealed exclusively to the Daily Mail Australia, saw two houses suddenly 'decoupled', effectively reducing the competition from five properties to just four. The decision left the remaining contestants facing a logistical nightmare and an emotional meltdown.
A Host Under Pressure
Witnesses on the Melbourne set described the veteran presenter's reaction as one of pure frustration. After absorbing the producers' controversial decision, Cam reportedly declared, "I've got to get out of here", before storming off to gather his thoughts away from the chaos.
The decoupling not only changes the fundamental structure of the competition but also throws the financial stakes into disarray. With five couples originally competing for a single grand prize, the new, smaller format has left everyone questioning the rules and the ultimate outcome.
Contestants Left Reeling
The fallout among the contestants was immediate and severe. The couples, who have invested immense physical and emotional effort into the build, were said to be "freaking out" and utterly devastated by the late-game change.
This dramatic turn of events promises to be a central storyline in the upcoming season, showcasing the immense pressure and high-stakes drama that unfolds when a multi-million dollar production throws a calculated curveball.
