Anticipation is building for another thrilling season of The Block, as the beloved renovation show gears up for its 20th anniversary in 2024. Scheduled to air post-Olympics, this season promises a refreshing change as contestants trade inner-city bustle for the serene shores of Phillip Island on Victoria’s Bass Coast. Here, amidst the remnants of an abandoned resort near Cowes, five holiday homes are set to undergo dramatic transformations.
Already, the island buzzes with activity as the new contestants, spotted frequenting their nearest Reece branch, and exploring their new surroundings, prepare to showcase their renovating prowess. Let’s meet the dynamic teams who will be vying for renovation glory this season:
A newlywed duo whose eye for design comes to the fore. Kristian’s background as an electrician is complimented by Mimi’s sense of perfectionism, which she’s honed in her role as a restaurant manager.
Kylie, a bold hairdresser and business owner, and her husband Brad who is skilled in both electrical work and plumbing, promise to be a powerhouse combination.
With Courtney’s expertise in events and furniture design complementing Grant’s background in landscape management, this couple is poised for success amidst the chaos.
Best friends with a knack for plumbing and IT respectively, Ricky and Haydn bring humor and expertise to the table, adding a lighthearted touch to the competition.
Jesse, a carpenter, and claims specialist Paige are bringing determination and strong planning skills to The Block, as they are in the midst of planning their wedding.
Sisters Maddy and Charlotte, both in their early 20s, have joined The Block five weeks in, replacing Jesse and Paige. With two years of professional house flipping experience, they bring valuable skills as the youngest contestants on the show. Better late than never!
With such a diverse lineup of contestants, The Block 2024 promises to be a season filled with innovation and remarkable transformations. Stay tuned as these teams embark on their journey to redefine luxury on Phillip Island’s picturesque shores.
