Kylie has threatened twice before that she would exit the 2024 season of The Block, but now she may have been pushed too far…
Drama rocks the site during Front Yard Week when Kylie walks off after learning that her husband Brad made inappropriate comments to their neighbour, Mimi.
The competition is the last thing on Kylie’s mind when she hears rumours that Brad has been getting close to Adelaide restaurant manager Mimi, who’s been married to electrician Kristian for a year.
Fellow contestants Ricky and Haydn – best mates from Melbourne – opened their home for Brad to stay in, which he accepted to give Kylie some space.
“We wanted to lend a shoulder to lean on,” IT manager Haydn, 37, told TV WEEK. “It’s hard with cameras and microphones around all the time. But you want to be there for someone no matter what they’re going through, especially with us being so close to Brad. We wanted to make sure he was all right mentally and had somewhere warm to sleep.”
Whether all the Blockheads know why Kylie had left is not clear.
“There were rumours [about Brad and Mimi] that people believed,” plumber Ricky, 34, said. “The Block’s a big place, so rumours can start about anyone and anything. But it’s up to them what they believe, whether they were there or not.”
Viewers have watched the pressure get to Kylie and Brad in the previous weeks, particularly after Week Nine’s Office and Rumpus room reveals, where the judges picked apart Kylie’s design choices. The room proved to be a challenge for Team Green, who spent $31,367 on the space.
“I’m really confused,” real estate tycoon, Marty Fox said. “10/10 for creating the most uncomfortable room we’ve seen this season.”
Shaynna Blaze labelled the room “ridiculous,” while Darren Palmer said the space was “weird.”
The Block host Scotty Cam then relayed to the married couple that their room lacked “ambiance or soul.”
Kylie and Brad’s final score was 16, while the winning score was 28 with Maddy and Charlotte, and Ricky and Haydn tying for top spot.
Furious at the final score, Kylie packed her bags and announced she was leaving the renovation show.
“We got absolutely annihilated. Why do we bother staying up all night?” she asked her husband. “I don’t want to be here… I’m not going back.”
However, Brad seemed to be in two minds as he wasn’t prepared to leave so close to auction day.
“I don’t want to be without you, but I don’t want to abandon all our hard work,” he said.
Despite Kylie’s determination to leave The Block, she was back on-site on Monday’s following episode. However, her defeated feelings had not changed.
Up until Week Eleven, it had been the married couple against The Block. But could this be Kylie’s final straw?
The show has already lost one team, WA couple Paige and Jesse, early on in the competition. As of yet, it is unknown if Kylie and Brad will reunite for the all-important auction day.
