Hi, Thank you for your comment. Channel 9 have not yet announced when they will open auditions and it is hard to guess when they will be as TV scheduling changes happen a lot and also they can't lock these in until they have secured a property. As soon as we find out about auditions we will get the information out there. finder.com.au resident Blockspert Jodie

Hi Adam, You are our most regular commenter on our Block recaps. I thought that as well when the budgets were read out but sponsors include Reece, BOSCH and Freedom did all the other kitchens, so the $4,000 is for trades and styling really and if they can't do it with that when Freedom do the bulk of the work then there are issues. But that being said watching Julia last night feeding back to Kim what they are spending on the guest bedroom and she is just randomly picking numbers rather than having any actual solid figures I do wonder how they will go with that budget. More whining to come I imagine. finder.com.au resident Blockspert Jodie

Hi Again Esmeralda, As I mentioned in response to your other comment I personally don't feel that Kim is trying to get anyone else on site into their issues with Julia and Sasha I just think they are very open when it comes to their issues and so speak their mind quite a lot. finder.com.au resident Blockspert Jodie

Hi Esmeralda, Thank you for your comment. I don't know that they are intentionally trying to get anyone else to dislike Julia and Sasha. Kim was merely making a comment that she wouldn't be giving Julia what she wanted and that this was because the girls had previously made it clear that they were in it for the competition rather than to make friends and so Kim and Chris would no longer be doing them favours. And really it's all a lot editing done by Channel 9 so who knows what truly is happening. finder.com.au resident Blockspert Jodie

Hi Jass, Thank you for your comment. I am guessing you are referring to how Kim is handling being the treasurer for the challenge apartment. I guess it could look like she is being unfair to the other contestants but as none of them put their hand up to do the job I, personally, feel like she can but she isn't. She has a tough job and a very tight budget that she is doing her best to try and allocate appropriately taking the needs of each room into account. And considering Kim and Chris were one of the few couples not to have budget woes in their final week I think having her in charge of the cash is pretty smart, she obviously did it well for their apartment. But it's hard to say as no one else put their hand up for the job. finder.com.au resident Blockspert Jodie
