The Block pair have spoken about the moment site managers Nine in Six removed misaligned tiles from their guest ensuite while Courtney and Sev were away on a challenge. In their TV WEEK interview, the pair said the intervention left them feeling as though a line had been crossed.
Courtney said the tiles were a design issue rather than a functional problem, and that the team should have been consulted before work began. Sev was equally clear that the call did not feel right.
Why The Fix Did Not Feel Like A Favour
The complication is that any offer to repair the issue can look like special treatment when other teams are watching. Courtney and Sev said they did not ask for the intervention, and they were uneasy about how it might be read around the site.
It is the sort of small on-site decision that can become very large once every contestant is tired, under pressure and keeping score. The Block has never been short on arguments about fairness, and this one has arrived with grout still drying.
For Courtney and Sev, the point is simple. Their room may be under construction, but they want the final calls to stay in their hands.
