The country’s most popular home renovation show The Block Australia is returning to TV screens very, very soon.
And luckily, we don’t have too long to wait for the premiere, with the series returning on August 6, seeing five new pairs battle it out to renovate a property to be sold at auction.
What’s the theme this year?
Each season The Block has a specific concept, which is usually related to the type of building that’s being renovated. In the past, there’s been huge country properties, hotels and, of course, glasshouses.
This year, contestants will be tasked with renovating a house that was designed and built in the 1950s, which is located on Melbourne’s Charming Street. The cast has leaned into the theme, with promo pics ad clips showing them dressed in 1950-style outfits in front of retro locations and props.
Who are the hosts and judges?
Long-time Scotty Cam and Shelley Craft are returning this year, as are seasoned judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Neale Whitaker. However, Neale will be cutting back on his judging scenes, and they will be joined by WHITEFOX CEO and real estate guru Marty Fox.
Who’s in The Block?
The contestants joining season 19 of The Block are all couples except for one, which is the sister duo of Eliza and Liberty.
Amongst the Blockheads is architect Steph, builder Ash, and project manager Kristy.
