Yahoo Lifestyle’s insider revealed that the house tipped to win isn’t going to be popular with fans.
“Insiders are tipping House 3 will make the most money and that is not going to go down well with viewers who have savaged Kristy and Brett’s behaviour throughout the series,” they explained to Yahoo.
The source went on to explain that tension is still high, “Eliza and Liberty have had enough of Kristy and Brett’s pot stirring and the way the show ends. Leah and Ash were already off the girls’ Christmas card list. So there is still existing tension between those houses.”
The contestants held their breath as the Domain Magazine cover winner was revealed.
Especially when it was teased that the winner had “nearly 50 per cent more listing views than their closest rival.”
In the end, Kyle and Leslie had the most page views on their house.
The Block judges may have differences of opinion at times, but what they did agree on was House 4 winning. Steph and Gian’s future may be looking very bright this Sunday!
“The quality, the sense of calm and architectural attention to detail shows Steph and Gian have created the ultimate luxury and it truly makes it one of the best houses on The Block,” Shaynna Blaze explained.
Darren Palmer also agreed, instead focusing on how House 4 is sitting on the biggest “land parcel of 703m2.”
“They have also won the rooms that really sell houses: being Master Bedrooms and Kitchens,” Marty Fox went on.
Dave Franklin also backed House 4, pointing out how “they kept that beige palette, which is simple and [beautiful].”
“House 4 would set the highest price if it was to open the order,” Keith the Foreman admitted.
Ultimately, only time will tell on who wins The Block auction day.
