Given the 4 homes purchased for The Block owe producers $4m (after entry/exit costs but before renovation costs) and they're expected to sell for about $900k on average each - how will the contestants make any money from all their hard work?
Easy. The producers will just rig the contest like they did in the last series (by fixing artificially low reserve prices so that the show saves face and the contestants and viewers don't revolt). This also leaves the door open for another series of The Block where advertising dollars is all the producers and Channel 9 cares about. Credibility, honesty and integrity at the cost of ratings.
