It was billed as the ‘most expensive bathroom in The Block history.’
Despite the price tag, series ‘villain’ Sarah Vale’s big bathroom reveal wasn’t well received by anyone on Tuesday.
Fans online joined the show’s site foreman Keith Schleigher in critiquing the room’s feature item – an $11,000 brass bathtub, believed to be the only one in Australia.
‘Like a f***ing trough to feed cows’: Fans slam The Block ‘villain’ Sara Vale’s $11,000 BRASS bathtub as ‘a crime against taste’ as the contestant reveals ‘you have to wear gloves to touch it’
Sara, 31, and her husband Hayden, 45, spent the majority of Tuesday’s episode talking up the brass tub to anyone who would listen.
After all, the pair controversially declined two much better apartments – the penthouse, and a room with a $150,000 prize inside – to ensure they had the best bathroom for their tub.
The gold-coloured bath was treated like a celebrity when it arrived on set, but those who caught a glimpse of it were left speechless.
‘Our whole apartment is based on this and we’ve blown the budget for the bathroom. We’re gonna be completely broke after this!’ Sara happily confirmed upon its arrival.

She also claimed ‘you have to wear gloves to touch this bath’.
‘This is our masterpiece. I can’t wait to just let it unravel in front of the judges’ eyes and then just be like, “Holey moley, these guys are actually serious.”‘
Sara and Hayden will have to wait until later in the week to see what the judges have to say, but Keith certainly wasn’t a fan.

After helping the contestant unbox the tub, he stood staring at it for almost a minute, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
‘I don’t even know what to say,’ Keith said, before leaving the room.
Keith may have been speechless, but armchair critics online had a lot to say about the brass tub.
