They’re hoping that their time on The Block will be worth it, and that they’ll win some cash at auction day.
And this week, Woman’s Day is reporting on a ‘bombshell’ that is set to rock the contestants.
The publication reports that the contestants will ‘lose it’ if ‘lazy’ Jason and Sarah win the show, while longtime rivals Josh and Ronnie might come close to a ‘punch-up.’

‘If Jason and Sarah were to win the show, the contestants and crew would absolutely lose it,’ a source told the magazine.
Calling Jason the ‘laziest’ on The Block and conniving, the source added: ‘For him to win would be like a stab in the back, and there’s no doubt the frontrunners would kick off if they weren’t compensated.’
The source then said that tension between rivals Ronnie and Josh reached boiling point while filming, and they expect trouble at the auction on October 28.

Ronnie and Georgia took money from Josh and Elyse – as part of a prize, that left the teams with bad blood.
