Scott Cam visited The Block site in country Victoria on Wednesday, a day after production was suspended due to a contestant testing positive for Covid-19.

The first day of filming ground to a halt on Tuesday – another blow for the renovation series which has already suffered setbacks this year due to delays in building permits being approved.

I assuming that those beautiful looking exteriors have an empty shell interior?

The houses do look good. I'm glad they're reusing these old federations-style buildings.

The Block 2022: Homes look far from completion before auction day

The crisis on set of The Block's upcoming season looks set to reach fever pitch as the contestants edge closer to auction day.

According to this article, it looks like they're badly running behind at the moment.

Can confirm the block is miles behind schedule. Could this be the first time theres been a delay to auction day

 

[juss]

No shit there'll be delays.

There's construction/tradie/material delays across Australia, and they are building in a more regional area.

It'd be a nightmare logistically given the current industry challenges, not to mention every so often someone on site whether it be a contestant, producer, host or tradesperson is going to test positive to COVID.

The Auctions aren't until September/October normally though. Last season it was well after filming had finished. And everyday after filming had finished there were tradies onsite fixing things until Auction day. Houses are still in good nick though and interestingly Ronnie and Georgias that I intially didn't like has really grown on me.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Given the difficulties they're having, mostly due to tradie shortages, I suspect we'll see lots of rooms that aren't completed in a week this season.

Big dramas as a couple have quit the show in the first 2 days.

The Block Tree Change has been embroiled in scandal for months, short of tradies, supplies, even contestants are quitting, and new complaints of “brutal” living conditions.

Scott Cam slams Block quitters as ‘unAustralian’ | TV Tonight

Block host lets rip at couple who quit the series after 48 hours, and a "piss-poor" effort.

tvtonight.com.au

Scott Cam has slammed contestants who quit The Block after 2 days, describing their efforts as ‘unAustralian.’

Speaking today at a Nine post-Logies media brunch, the host didn’t hold back, but admitted it would make for great television.

“We have a controversy on Day 2 of the series,” he explained.

“We had a 48 hour challenge to choose the house that you get and they scarpered after 48 hours. It’s something that’s never happened before.

The Block 2022 Tree Change Season is not fair off landing, and as always I’m eager to get stuck into the weekly room reveals.

Before the new series starts though, I thought it best I compile all of the news, goss, and need-to-know facts about this year’s bigger-than-ever Block season.

I’ve done all of the reading from all of the outlets so you don’t have to. And below, I’ve gathered the best bits from around the web so you can stay across all things Block before its August premiere.

Same night as The Masked Singer

 

[troybe]

Yeah I quite enjoy TMS, Mel B is a good get for them.

The Block should be interesting with drama from the get go.

 

[Shell]

Sub'd. Looking forward to it.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Wow, Shell is back

 

[Cruyff14]

Probably only watch Sunday night shows. Too much of the same shit during the week.

For me there is just too much Scott Cam on the show. I get he is the host but his act that he runs the show is ridiculous. Now giving him his own house to do could go either way, keep him out of the gossip crap they try or make him twice as annoying.

 

[Shell]

Idm Scott. Or Dan or Keith. Its Shelley who is the most annoying (useless) twit from my pov.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I love them all.

 

[Cruyff14]

Scott can come across as a bit of a w***er at times. Shelley actually adds nothing at all.

 

[KAYNE]

Yeah not sure what Shelley actually brings. Comes in every now and then and her fakeness at trying to stir up drama is annoying.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Shelley is a successful real estate agent these days, so she brings plenty to the table. She also has a nice personality which comes through on the show. If you don't like the people on the show, then don't watch it. It's an easy solution.
