Thrilled for the winners, devastated for Ben & Emma. Very disappointed in how the boys reacted. Sure it sucks to not walk away with a ton of cash but they are getting $50k+ each for 3-4 months work. Sure, it won’t set ya up for life but you had a unique experience & are non reality tv stars which will come with opportunities in the future.

I miss the Block from years ago. This season wasn’t a reno show as it was a new build. Too many high tier prizes & too much money tossed at the budget. You gotta make that money back & pay all your employees (and make a profit) so of course the reserves are going to be too high. We need a “back to basics” season with true reno work & a stripped back budget. A chance for real people to buy the homes. I love this show & we truly have nothing like it in the US (no, Rock the Block doesn’t come close) and I will be sad to see it end if they keep on this path driving the prices higher & the chance at a great outcome lower.

That all said, I look forward to seeing My Reno Rules when it debuts in a few months.
