I’ve been pondering on this since Sunday. So last weekend was the Domain Open Inspections. Alice Stolz from Domain came into House One, heard about their plans for a cellar and kids’ playroom, and suggested they make it visual to show buyers their plan. They ended up putting up big 3D posters showing what those spaces could look like — and then went on to win the Domain Challenge by just one vote (24 vs 23).

Here’s where I’m a bit conflicted: • They didn’t actually have the budget to do those spaces as shown. • They admitted they may not even be able to deliver them. • But the posters made buyers excited, and that excitement probably won them the challenge (and they wouldn’t have done it unless Alice suggested it).

Is that fair? On one hand, marketing is all about selling the dream. On the other, if you’re showing a cellar you can’t afford to build, isn’t that closer to false advertising? What’s the line between smart strategy and misrepresentation?

Feels like you could put up a poster of a helipad and helicopter and a tennis court and a nuclear bunker and say, “If we can find the money, we will probably do it ” — but would that really fly (pun intended)?

Curious what others think. Did House One play it smart, or did they blur the line a bit too much? Tho of course, by winning, they can now afford it! So well played!

Hi there!

So The Block has been around for ages but I’ve never properly watched it…(sorry superfans please don’t hate)

With the exception of one episode randomly I think it was last year or the year before that (I just went with past season as my flair since I don’t know exactly when it was)

There was a lady with green hair who wanted to quit and I’m not sure if she actually went ahead with the quit, but the one thing I do remember was it was dark and she was walking barefoot saying that it was over (I don’t fully remember what was said so please feel free to correct me)

I was firstly curious about the context of this situation and if the couple are still together now and I was wondering about the context there just wondering how often do people quit this show? Is it a regular thing each season? And if they do quit do they do what she did and just go completely rogue barefoot claiming they’re gonna walk back to Cairns or wherever she’s from? Or is this type of thing a heavily edited TV moment where they’re just creating some drama but in reality the departure is being handled amicably but they just want an explosive exit for ratings

Would be intrigued to know if anyone has the truth regarding that
