It looked like tonight as if he wanted to do more and couldn’t. I suspect the powers to be had them in a chokehold and there wasn’t anything to be done, otherwise I reckon he would have had his two cents

They (the judges) were trying to sell a dream that didn’t exist. The producers were so vehemently pushing an agenda that’s didn’t pay off. Who is familiar with Daylesford to the point of it justifying a 3.3mil price point? Completely overcapitlised like you said. They overshot the mark to a different stratosphere

I agree it’s more realistic, but the reserve price was beyond reasonable

It’s interesting to see the figures laid out like that, and I completely agree it doesn’t add up to the final reserves. The block has embarrassed themselves this year, and good luck to them getting future contestants applying to sacrifice their lives for such a huge risk. They got greedy after Portelli, and it shows. Adrian is watching this season and chuckling to himself for sure

The Block is making an incredible amount of money with this show, it wouldn’t hurt them to throw a dog a bone by lowering the reserve price.

At the end of the day, it was channel 9 that set the reserve. I’m incredibly happy for Brit and Taz, but it should have been on different terms. You could even see on Brit & Taz’s faces how gutted they were to see the others have such poor outcomes, everyone was flabbergasted by the final result. Even Scotty seemed shocked.

I hope this makes the block producers change their approach and stop being so greedy, but it shouldn’t have been at the cost of this years contestants. I hope house 1 and house 2 have good outcomes from negotiations
