The Block’s Shaynna Blaze breaks her silence on the show’s ‘toxic behaviour’ controversy

The Block’s Shaynna Blaze broke her silence on Wednesday over the show’s alleged ‘toxic’ behaviour on set.

The series judge, 60, told Yahoo Lifestyle that the judges make it a point to only focus on the quality of contestant’s homes and not get involved in their personal drama.

‘We don’t know any of what goes on, we don’t meet the contestants. We’re not told about anything, so we can purely judge the rooms and not the drama,’ she said.

She then said she was not surprised the contestants often brought their personal lives onto the show.

‘They’re in a bubble and there’s so much drama that goes on with the build. It carries on into their personal lives,’ she said.

‘Maybe the stress is too much and people just do all the wrong things. But I am quite shocked at what’s been coming out,’ she said.

Her comments come amid reports the popular Channel Nine renovation show has come under fire over on set ‘bullying’ claims with scores of viewers venting their concerns. 

Now Woman’s Day has claimed that some believe the show ‘has run its course’ after it was slammed with ACMA complaints. 

‘We don’t know any of what goes on, we don’t meet the contestants. We’re not told about anything, so we can purely judge the rooms and not the drama,’ Blaze said

The furor could spell the end for the show, with viewers turning off in droves and investigations launched. 

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been inundated with complaints about the current season of The Block and in just one week, ACMA registered a total of 28 complaints.

A spokesperson from ACMA told The Australian: ‘The majority of the inquiries related to allegations of bullying, harassment and promotion of anti-social behaviour between contestants.’

This comes in the wake of many articles and discussions regarding the heightened drama between contestants during this season. 

She then said she was not surprised the contestant’s often brought their personal life into the show as the high-pressure environment they worked in could get to people. Pictured: The current contestants on The Block
