This is the ONLY reality show I watch. This year someone broke into Scotty's office and took pictures of the whole schedule. Hopefully we find out tomorrow who did this because they messed things up for everyone!
Block scandal 2020.

But while the lead-up to the finale has been littered with drama, it’s still no match for last year’s wild auction day result that read like the script of a Hollywood action flick.
In one of the most elaborate reality television scandals of recent history, mysterious bidder Emese Fajk, 28, surprised viewers and Blockheads alike when she outbid serial Block buyer Danny Wallis to score Jimmy and Tam’s Palm Springs style Brighton home for a record price of $4.256m. The figure was $966,000 above the $3.29m reserve, leaving Jimmy and Tam with $1.066m in prize money.
But weeks later, when the money failed to appear in Nine’s accounts, it was discovered Fajk was not who she claimed to be, and had attempted to cheat one of Australia’s most popular TV programs with false ANZ bank slips.
“It’s something no one ever saw coming, no one ever expected, but it’s something we now have to deal with,” Jimmy later told A Current Affair of the stunning revelation.
“We’ve pretty much been conned.”
The home was re-listed and sold for around $4 million.
