The Block\u2019s auction day was an unmitigated disaster for the majority of teams. Here are six things we learned from the show\u2019s Tree Change calamity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone can explain to me what happened here, I\u2019d love to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Well, Scott Cam, you asked for it.<\/p>\n

The Block<\/a> producers have never started a season without claiming this season is bigger than any other season. But this year that claim was also the show\u2019s biggest problem.<\/p>\n

The idea of focusing on country retreats after two years of Covid and working from home made sense, but creating five overblown multimillion-dollar compounds far, far from any recognised multi-millionaires\u2019 row is where it all came unstuck.<\/p>\n

Finding one super-rich family or investor willing to spend up big to live in Gisborne might have been doable.<\/p>\n

No amount of vineyards, ice baths, pony enclosures or flying foxes were enough to draw people with Portsea and Mt Macedon money to a bare hillside in Gisborne. It was enough to make you wish for a tiny fake gazillionaire.<\/p>\n

It all started promisingly enough. Omar and Oz kicked things off strongly thanks to their clever courting of a millionaire property investor who arrived in his Lamborghini and bid hard against serial Block pest Danny Wallis, who just keeps flogging his never-was-funny joke of bidding in random increments.<\/p>\n
