The chatter kicked off after fans noticed Marty appears to follow Tijana Bundalo on Instagram, despite not appearing to follow Chantel.
As reported by New Idea, the follow has sparked questions about whether Marty and Tijana may have known each other before Chantel joined The Block.
Naturally, that was enough for parts of the fandom to start connecting dots with the intensity usually reserved for floorplan week.
Who Is Tijana Bundalo?
Tijana is not just a random name floating around the comment section. She is Chantel's sister, and has her own connection to building through the family's construction business.
She has also been described as a qualified carpenter, life coach, podcast co-host and former Miss World Australia NSW finalist, which is frankly an impressive amount of lore for one supporting character in a Block side plot.
The detail that has fans talking is the social media connection. A follow does not prove a close relationship, a hidden history or anything dramatic, but it is exactly the kind of tiny clue Block viewers love to turn over.
Has Anything Been Confirmed?
No public explanation has been given for the Instagram follow, and there is no confirmed suggestion that anything improper has happened.
Whether it turns into a bigger talking point or fades by the next room reveal, The Block audience has clearly clocked it.
