The Block has been chock-full of drama in 2024, but arguably the biggest thing to happen this season has been Kylie and Brad’s walkout in the final week.
The green team leaving the show has prompted viewers to ask the question: will Kylie and Brad be attending auction day? Here’s what we know.
On Sunday night’s episode, Kylie walked off and told producers, “I don’t want to come back for auction, I don’t want to come back and have to deal with them. I don’t.”
She also added she would forfeit any potential profit and prize money if it meant she didn’t need to return.
Host Scott Cam then told the remaining contestants the next day, “It’s a really disappointing situation that we’ve found ourselves in.
“The competition now is between four houses only. Kylie and Brad are not returning.”
However, last week, the Cairns-based couple were spotted in both Melbourne and Phillip Island, prompting speculation that they could be visiting their house before it goes to auction on 9 November.
The pair also joined their fellow Blockheads at the 2024 Melbourne Cup, and Kylie appeared on serial Block bidder Adrian Portelli‘s Instagram story on the day.
The couple have since appeared on A Current Affair and seemingly confirmed their attendance on auction day.
“We love everyone and we want everyone to come away from this with something achievable and a good result,” Kylie said.
If Kylie and Brad did however skip out on the auction, sources have also told Yahoo Lifestyle that there’s a “secret clause” that will allow them to still take home any profit and prize money won for their house.
“If that property sells for over the price guides and they haven’t attended the auction — most of the other contestants think the couple shouldn’t be able to collect any of the money the house makes,” a source told the publication.
Their fellow contestants are reportedly frustrated over this possibility, as house four was “the least completed property and other builders just finished it off and made a lot of the remaining decisions.”
“It seems unreasonable not to finish your house and still be eligible for the same percentages,” they added.
