The freebies including the roof was roughly $1m.
If the producers kept all money I think they would have roughly come out $100k short.

I thought so initially, but if they make profit anyway just on sponsorship and ad sales, then they can afford to give away that much. If nothing else it ensures they get heaps of applicants each year, which can only be a good thing for those in charge of the show.Holy s**t that's a lot of money to have given away.
I'm sure some shows have given away more but I find the sums quoted here to be quite incredible.

Is this the peak? Surely they can't let everybody that goes on this show be a winner like that again?
I'm just imagining it with his standard poker faceI wanted to see Keith's reaction to Steve and Chantelle winning The Block. Would have been priceless.

There'll be another series after that though, it all helps. I'd agree someone got the reserves wrong, but I don't think that Channel 9's profit margin suffered too badly as a result.How? They are 1/4 of the way through filming next year anyway! Not sure it makes that big a difference!

They purposely put the reserves low now so the contestants walk away with something after all their hard work. Years ago some got nothing at all or 40k.
Did anybody go to the viewing? An apartment can look a feel a whole lot different when you're in it compared to real life, inside theirs it may have been a ripper
This result makes no sense to me, and it appears according to the online world I'm not in the minority.
Yep, I went. Thought the best 2 were Steve and Chantelle's and the Twins when I viewed it. Both apartments looked 'bigger' and they looked more like a home, both kitchens were OUTSTANDING and they sell houses. Drad and Dale's was good, but nothing exceptional in any room (and bathrooms don't sell houses lol). Overall they were the most consistent. Kyal and Kara was the most controversial at the open day. Some adored it, some hated it, I am the latter. I appreciate wood, but I don't want a kitchen full of it.
But do you respect wood?
It was pretty obvious that the bald buyers advocate would be desperate to pay up on the last property on offer. He was the losing bidder on the previous three. It was good to be last.
