The Block auction day is here and the results are in!
But for one unlucky couple, the day did not go as planned.
The Block’s auctions were full of ups and downs – Omar and Oz started the day with a bang, winning the largest profit in Block history.
However, the luck seemed to end there, with both Tom and Sarah-Jayne, and Rachel and Ryan making surprisingly low profits.
But for Ankur and Sharon, they could not hit their reserve price and ultimately chose not to sell on auction day.
In devastating scenes, the couple’s auction did not reach the reserve price of $4,080,000. The property failed to garner a bid above the reserve price, so was passed in at auction.
And the auction night got worse from there, with Dylan and Jenny also failing to sell their house or make a profit. The property failed to garner a bid above the reserve price, and was also passed in at auction.

The final result will not come as a shock to Blockheads.
Last month, the New Zealand version of The Block shocked viewers when the winner made just $4000 over reserve. Meanwhile, the runner-up he earned a tiny $76 and the other two homes didn’t sell, passed in under their reserve.
Upon hearing the dismal results, this year’s Australian Block line up were instantly concerned.

“It’s terrifying!” House Two’s Rachel told TV WEEK. “It’s your biggest fear of the entire process realised.”
Her Block bestie Sarah-Jane agreed, adding: “When I heard about the New Zealand auctions and the very low to no cash made, I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“That would be heartbreaking. We just have to hope buyers see the dreams we’ve all created and want to make them their reality,” she said at the time.

Money aside, this season of The Block saw plenty of drama right from the get-go.
Just a few days into filming, contestants Joel Patfull and Elle Ferguson sensationally left the show, before being replaced by Rachel and Ryan.
But the influencer couple’s walkout was just the beginning of an explosive season.
In particular, we saw Ankur and Sharon in the centre of many feuds with host Scott Cam and their builders, with one of their tradies even quitting the show.
For now, The Block drama is over and it’s tool’s down until next year.
