A former Channel Nine producer for The Block has revealed some of the challenges this year’s cast may now face as they adjust to life after the show.
The insider told Yahoo that returning to their real lives can be a shock to the system and said many of the cast will be working hard to now forge a career in the media.
‘Making promising lifelong friendships looks great on Instagram. Getting your next TV gig shows producers you have more to flex than just one reality show,’ they said.
‘The Hundred with Andy Lee is Nine’s best opportunity to prove you have what it takes to get a manager. So Nine’s internal talent manager is currently juggling 2023 villain Kristy and comedy queen Eliza, who both are obvious choices.’
They added several of the cast will be attempting to sign with a talent agent who can help them market their ‘brand’.

‘If you sign with the wrong agent who doesn’t understand your brand you might just be on their books for twelve months with very little to show for it.’
Sisters Eliza and Liberty are already believed to have signed with a talent agent as well as Queensland-based Leah.
During last week’s nail-biting finale of The Block, Steph and Gian were the runaway winners with their house selling for an incredible $5million.

They walked away with $1.65 million profit plus prize money of $100,000, bringing their total earnings to a record breaking $1.75 million.
Steph and Gian’s House 4 was first to auction, and it was a tense time for the pair, who called their $3.35 million reserve ‘hell’ and feared they would not make money on the sale.
The bidding quickly reached $4million thanks to serial bidder Danny Wallace, but the action was halted after a woman fainted during the auction and was taken to hospital.

After the pause, the bidding stalled at $4million, before jumping a million dollars straight up to $5million – and the hammer fell, with House 4 sold.
Next on the block were sisters Eliza and Liberty with House 5 up for grabs with a $3.25million reserve.
The bidding reached $4.1 million during a showdown between Danny and Adrian, stalling for some time as they two men considered their options.
Adrian jumped up to $4.2 million, taking the odd move of bidding against himself – which has never happened on the show before.
