The Block auction day is here and the results are rolling in.
While Omar and Oz were over the moon with their $1,586,666.66 profit, others didn’t receive the same results.
Dylan and Jenny were left shocked when their registered buyers didn’t show up to the auction. Their property, along with Ankur and Sharon’s failed to garner a bid above the reserve price, and were both passed in at auction.
Last month, the New Zealand version of The Block shocked viewers when the winner made just $4000 over reserve.

“I’m not even miserable. I’m gobsmacked,” Tom said.
“I didn’t expect to make a sh-tload of money, but I didn’t expect to come out at a massive loss too. It’s the way the cookie crumbles. I can’t change it. Just go to roll with it.”
Rachel and Ryan were next up, and also emotional as they received $169,000.85 in profit.
The Block is over and some contestants were happier than others.

The Block co-creator and executive producer Julian Cress said she believed something “has spooked the market.”
“But we believe the properties are of incredible value and we think they will find new owners very soon, to deliver a well-deserved reward for our contestants’ hard work.”

Last month, the New Zealand version of The Block shocked viewers when the winner made just $4000 over reserve. Meanwhile, the runner-up he earned a tiny $76 and the other two homes didn’t sell, passed in under their reserve.
Upon hearing the dismal results, this year’s Australian Block line up were instantly concerned.

“It’s terrifying!” House Two’s Rachel told TV WEEK. “It’s your biggest fear of the entire process realised.”
Her Block bestie Sarah-Jane agreed, adding: “When I heard about the New Zealand auctions and the very low to no cash made, I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“That would be heartbreaking. We just have to hope buyers see the dreams we’ve all created and want to make them their reality,” she said at the time.
This season of The Block saw plenty of drama right from the get-go.
(Image: Nine)Money aside, this season of The Block saw plenty of drama right from the get-go.
Just a few days into filming, contestants Joel Patfull and Elle Ferguson sensationally left the show, before being replaced by Rachel and Ryan.
But the influencer couple’s walkout was just the beginning of an explosive season.
In particular, we saw Ankur and Sharon in the centre of many feuds with host Scott Cam and their builders, with one of their tradies even quitting the show.
