Take the emotional journey of a makeover show and cross it with the competitive nature of a gameshow, and you have The Block.
One of most Australia’s most popular series, The Block sees four couples compete against each other to renovate a flat in an apartment block and sell it at auction at a later date for the highest price. But it’s not just the couple who are renovating – they count on the help of the viewers at home for help with ideas. Based in the sun-kissed Sydney suburb of Bondi Beach, the four apartments are run d own and ripe for renovation – and each of the couples have a blank canvas to project their visions onto.
John and Neisha, Mark and Duncan, Erin and Jake, and Chez and Brenton have 11 weeks and a $40,000 budget to get the job done, but it’s down to them to out-renovate, out-design and out-decorate each other. The race is on… who will be kings and queens of The Block?
