FTA-TV The Block 2021

She reminds me of that Samantha Azzopardi weirdo.

Good shout that.

I reckon there's a couple ways you can measure if a reality show is successful or not.

Ratings, general chatter and if it makes news.com

If you don't make it into news.com you know you got a srs problem.

Also one person/contestant from the show must spin off into a wider career as a result ... that Jules/Kmart Kardashian/Jess MAFS series a killer.

Well well well... looks like RnG's amazing plain old white tin shed wasn't so great after all.

All jokes aside, the way they carried on after winning 300k sums them up. Very ungrateful and me me me attitude. How's The Block producers trying to pain them as Saints. Pls.

Why on God's earth would you put yourself up first in the auction order. Bizarre and very arrogant decision making.

I enjoyed the sweet schadenfreude - that stupid colorbond facade put people off

Not sure if The Block is the kind of series that contestants can use as a springboard to a huge career in the media. But many have gone on to successful careers in home decorating and/or renovating (house flipping). R&G and M&M this season have been house flipping since their first seasons. I think some of the past contestants have interior design businesses that do OK too. But none have really become huge stars. Although some have done some minor TV reno shows no one really watches.

that bogan blonde chick from a few years back got light and easy ads and a brekky radio show from memory

 

[Big Bryza]

Curious. Do you think the same about Jimmy and Tam?

Testing my memory. I think Jimmy and Tam nailed their place going with a different look.

 

[Big Bryza]

They had it right the first time to go second. They messed up the call. Agent’s advice was wishy washy.

Totally agree.

Whichever way you spin it, they made a monumental **** up by going first. They're that full of themselves that I'm shocked they didn't ignore their agent and slot themselves in 2nd or 3rd.

Yeah, so they got wider career ... didn't necessarily mean in media.

Tbh I reckon some builders from this series will do best, notably Pauly from H5 and Jase from M+M house.

Am I right in thinking it's 'The Block' builders that do most of the actual building?

Each house 'builder' is more for show than anything else.

You're right though, it must be a good for their brand post show.

I think they do a fair bit but The Block builders make it happen yeah. The smart ones really milk the brand building element.

M+M were taking the piss out of Jase about it as the 11th contestant lol. And he leant right in.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Jason seems like a good bloke and the work he'd done on two block series is first-rate. This is not an infomercial. LOL

I liked your leopard print dressing gown Jason.

Strange a couple who's style was so... Regular and vanilla opted for the strangest style exterior from nowhere.

I think you are remembering it wrongly. Steve did next to nothing whilst the other couples did the majority of the work. The trades are there to hammer some nails, not all of them.Steve is not there to only buy cushions

Nah, the other contestants definitely left the site for a few hours then all the builders turned up and looked to him for instruction.

I honestly cgaf how set up, scripted ( hai FRUMPY ), real, not real, manipulated, this that and the other it is.

Trust me, I dont lose any sleep over a show like The Block.

Just enjoy it for what it is, and in particular the banter + discussion itt.

On Nos - next you are going to tell me that reality TV isn't real! I am with you Shell - its like WWE you boo at the heals and cheer the heroes - the fact that is a confection of scripting and editing does not change anything. That said it would have been unwatchable without M and M

I take no reality show srsly.

The people who go on their SMs to abuse them have to be srsly ****ed up in their head to do that shit.

 

[Shell]

Apparently Barney is copping it badly on twitter etc whatever.
I wouldn't know cause i dont have accounts with them

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I haven't seen much Tanya bashing on Twitter.

 

[Milanista28]

They're whipping up these joints in 12 weeks. They would all need extra work post filming.

A mates mate lives across the road and he said the houses had teams of tradies working there up until 2 weeks ago, all those defects are fixed after the contestants leave.

I personally think the block wouldn't be that hard, one wheelbarrow load for the camera and then wait until they can paint something.

 

[Shell]

It's common knowledge all the defects etc get fixed up before auction

 

[Shell]

The whole interior also gets repainted.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I recommend you watch the unedited last interview of the twins and T&V on The Block website. T&V spends 11 minutes lying through their teeth about who took the photo, it's so cringeworthy. The lengths they went to make sure the lie continued is gobsmacking. I would never trust these two for anything.

Tanya shows text messages on her phone to reveal 'her truth' about the photo's origins on The Block 2021.

[Shell]

Yeah that stuff is real. Can't stand liars, absolute idiots the lotta them

 

[Shell]

Those two deserve each other really- match made in heaven.

My wife’s old company had a contract at The Gatwick. There would’ve been 300 trades on site at any one time. Easily.
