When Blockheads sign up to compete on The Block, they’re not just building homes; they are building relationships too.
And in a stressful environment, those relationships are being tested, particularly this year between Britt (House 3) and Alicia (House 4).
Their friendship has been pushed to the limit after weeks of arguments, and the pair delivered more blows at this week’s body corp.
However, a new video has hinted that they might be on better terms now than they were on the show.
“After that, it sort of soured the friendship a little bit, took a little bit to get over,” Alicia confessed in an unseen interview, which was posted to 9 Entertainment.
Find out what really happened below.
What happened at the third body corp meeting?
Because Britt and Taz started their deck ahead of schedule, the other teams decided to hold a body corp to air their grievances. They waited until the pair came back from their getaway to ambush them.
With the majority of contestants in agreement that Han and Can deserved to win over Britt and Taz, Alicia made a series of digs while insisting that she wasn’t attacking anyone.
“You know what your mistake was,” Alicia told Can, in reference to Britt and Taz’s sloppy paint work, which was awarded a 10. “You painted too nice.”
During Tuesday’s episode (September 30), Britt said she did not appreciate her snide comments, which the Gold Coast mum took offence to.
“Don’t you dare and I will not allow you to throw me under the bus, that I’ve been a nasty b**** because I’ve done nothing but take care of you,” Alicia argued.
In the end, Britt and Taz agreed not to continue their deck until everyone got the chance to catch up.
“It wasn’t worth wasting our time with that one,” Britt explained in the unseen piece-to-camera. “Not wasting our time, because whatever we said was going to go in one ear and out the other with them. In that situation, we just decided to, I guess, just give in.”
Alicia, however, was still hopeful that they could make amends, adding: “It’s definitely changed our friendship, but I still think that we will be fine.”
She also blocked her tilers from helping the police officers, which disappointed the WA parents.
Even though they attempted to reconcile after the body corp, Britt and Alicia’s friendship is still on rocky ground.
After another previous spat, they did not speak for four days.
Britt then decided to extend the olive branch at the disco, checking to see if they were okay after their fallout.
The former BFFs were embroiled in tension after Alicia felt left out over Britt spending more time with Steph, leading to the infamous “log-gate” saga.
While Britt thought her attempt to make amends went well, for Alicia, it wasn’t enough.
“I need more than just that, I need like an explanation, I need to talk it out,” she explained. “I don’t want to sweep it under the rug, because I want to know that she understands where I’m coming from, and I want to know where she’s coming from. So, yeah, TBC.”
Tensions worsened after Alicia stopped her tilers from helping the police officers, who were struggling to finish waterproofing.
“I’ve told them they’re done,” Alicia said. “Britt and Taz have cost us $7000 this week, because Taz and Britt have decided to keep all of that timber in the yard… the timber we thought we were entitled to.
“So, I’m not rolling over and giving them my tilers, because they’ve hit a problem. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
She then said it worked both ways.
“It’s a two-way street, what goes around comes around,” she said to the tilers. “They made it quite clear this week how they were playing their game, and that’s okay, I’ll respect it because I’m gonna now play mine. You guys aren’t going anywhere.”
What happened at the second body corp meeting?
Everything came to a head during the second body corp meeting.
Initially, Britt and Taz, and Sonny and Alicia threw accusations at each other after log-gate created tension between the couples.
Then, Alicia tearfully explained that she was still upset with her friend after she went shopping without her, despite promising to go together.
When she said that her real friends would not ditch her, Taz flatly said: “Your friends aren’t on The Block“.
After this exchange, she said she felt “mortified” and that his comments were “nasty”.
“It showed me that they didn’t care, so that was really hurtful,” Alicia lamented in a piece-to-camera.
What happened when Steph and Gian came to Daylesford?
Initially, Alicia felt neglected by Britt when 2023 winners, Steph and Gian, came during kitchen week.
When they were tasked with renovating the Rex Theatre, Britt was on Steph’s team, and Alicia was with Gian.
Britt and Steph instantly hit it off, and even went shopping together.
Not only did she joke about the new “besties”, she thought it was unfair that Britt got that time one-on-one with Steph.
“I’ve lost my BFF Britt to Steph, while they’re here on The Block, I’ve noticed they’re becoming quite friendly,” she said.
The Gold Coast mum said it was “dangerous” that she got to spend time learning from one of the winners, who secured the most winnings in the show’s history.
“I honestly haven’t had two seconds alone with Britt this week, but don’t you worry – if I get her alone on Saturday, I’ll be dragging it out of her,” she said about the knowledge the winner would have shared with her.
“She better not leave me by the wayside.”
Then, Britt went out shopping without her pal, despite saying they’d go together, which left Alicia reeling.
“It’s exactly like being stood up, it’s embarrassing,” Alicia vented, storming away from the group, when Britt jokingly apologised.
Before all of this, an insider exclusively told New Idea that Alicia was furious about it all.
“Alicia was left out, and she was upset back on set,” our insider claims, adding that she looked visibly hurt from Britt’s actions.
