Nine’s reality reno juggernaut The Block is in crisis, as cash runs dry and contestants band together in a secret plan to quit the show.

With each couple initially given a budget of $250,000, they should each have around $125,000 left in the kitty to last them the next six weeks and twelve remaining spaces left to renovate. It’s a mammoth task ahead:… And here’s how much money each couple actually has left:The couples are each called into an emergency budget meeting with Scott Cam, a Suncorp bank representative, and judge Shaynna Blaze, who’s keen to stress just how dire the situations is.

“It’s a bitter pill to swallow but … you have to,” she tells them. She advises them not to fill each space — “If I turn up and you’ve thrown everything at a room, I really won’t be happy — because I’ll know you won’t be able to afford the next week and the next week.”?’ Because in two weeks you could be done.’” she warns.“So we’re not to finish rooms to win? We sheet them, plaster them, paint them and go ‘Use your imagination’?” fumes Tess.

“Going out with a bang, last room, there we go. That’s about it for Lukey and I, I don’t think we can …” she says, tears welling. By episode’s end, the contestants have banded together, plotting to take a stand at the end of another long day on site. Mark’s caught on camera whispering a plan to the other couples: “Perhaps we need to not be here. If it all goes to pot, we can just go.”Mel insists none of the couples has burnt through their budget irrationally — “They just didn’t give the right amount of money for a house this size.

Shit show anyways

Nothing to do with low ratings then.

😂😂😂

Care factor ZERO.

So they lack basic budgeting skills (essential in renovating) and wasted $250k. What time and money wasters they all are. Focus on the actual renovations rather than the pretty and pricey furnishings. TheBlock

Wow really? Now just imagine that means anything to anyone.

No way 250k each was enough to finish this season houses
