The Block is proving to be the gift that keeps on giving.

After the reality reno program kicked off earlier this year, it became clear this season would be unlike any other.

Watch the trailer for The Block Tree Change. Story continues after video.

So far, The Block Tree Change has seen five teams set out on renovating five family homes in the countryside of Gisborne South in Victoria's Macedon Ranges. The contestants are battling it out to win a sweet $100,000 in prize money, on top of the profit their home makes on auction day.

We only have just a few days left untilThe Blockwraps up for another year, but the drama is still coming in hot.

Here's absolutely everything that's gone down so far during this season ofThe Block.

Ankur and Sharon defend their 'overspend' onThe Block.

On Monday night’s controversial episode we saw Ankur be prodded by Foreman Keith and Dan for being an accountant and not being across their house’s finances.

This followed after their landscaping bill had come in a whopping $26,000 over budget.

Sharon defended her husband on TV, Keith and Dan apologised and everyone moved on. However, the pair have criticised the reno series in a new radio interview.

Ankur told Hit NSW Breakfast with Maz & Matty that he was still “angry” about the run-in and argued that other contestants who worked in construction and plumbing didn’t have their qualifications brought into question – despite the fact they’d made mistakes in those areas too.

“That’s why I got so upset when they ambushed us in yesterday’s episode. Shaz is like a machine – ‘let’s get to the auctions’ – but I don’t know how to feel about it to be honest,” he explained.

Ankur also went on to defend the landscaping bill, saying there is no way he could’ve known that the cost would have come in over budget as landscaping was initially being organised without contestants’ input in scenes viewers will never get to see.

“There’s stuff they don’t show. The landscapers and executive producers were in chats for six weeks without the contestants knowing. We hadn’t even seen the invoice – it went directly to (host) Scott Cam. Then they come and ambush us and ask, ‘Haven’t you SEEN the budget?’ I’m like, you might want to show that part of the show instead of ambushing me again,” he said.

Sharon shared why she was so offended over the situation, saying: “Quite clearly, we’re probably not going to be renovators after this, so don’t cut off the only livelihood that my husband has. That’s when Tigress Sharon came out and I was like, ‘Do you know what? STFU. I’m not copping that.’”

Ankur and Sharon say they’ve “checked out” of their relationship with producers.

The pair, who said Monday night’s episode was their “tipping point”, toldMaz& Mattythey had “definitely checked out of (their) relationship” with producers onThe Block.

Sharon also argued they never got a fair edit on the show.

“Everybody thought we didn’t do any work aroundThe Block– we pulled the most all-nighters out of everyone, because our house was bigger. Scotty always likes to have that jab, ‘[Your house] is only 14 square metres bigger.’ It’s not that.

"We’re saying that the old build is harder for us to create, because we’ve got to demo it and we’ve got to frame up. The new build, which everyone else had much earlier in the piece, is already framed up and ready to go.”

The Block2022 auction date has been leaked.

Fans have been waiting patiently to know when exactly they'll be able to watch one team walk away as the winner ofThe Block 2022.

Channel Nine has confirmed the auctions will air Saturday, November 5.

The indicative prices for the homes range from $4 million to $4.4 million (yes, our jaws are on the floor).

Winners forThe Blockhave been predicted.

While it's true that we will never quite know who winsThe Blockuntil auction day, House One is tipped to win.

Bookmakers Sportsbet and TAB have them sitting at $2.62 and $2.25, making Tom and Sarah-Jane the favourites to win.

Parents Rachel and Ryan and best mates Omar and Osman are battling it out for the second spot, with engaged couple Dylan and Jenny following not far behind. In dead last is married couple Ankur and Sharon.

Fans not impressed with Omar and Oz's recent disqualification onThe Block.

Following the Living and Dining room reveals, fans criticised The Block for being unfair towards Omar and Oz for the price they paid on their baby grand piano.

The boys were able to nab the $36,000 instrument for $7,500 – meaning they broke a bigBlockrule which states contestants cannot get more than a 50 per cent discount off any item they buy for their spaces.

Omar and Oz were not only disqualified from winning Living and Dining room week, they were also stripped of three points from the tally board – which could disastrously impact their auction order at the end of the season.

Fans were not happy and took to Twitter to call out the fact Sharon and Ankur were able to get away with nabbing an $800 mirror for $100 for a challenge weeks earlier.

Ok, Ankur & Sharon should also be in trouble. $800 mirror for $100 is way more than 50% discount #TheBlock

#TheBlock funny how only Omar and Oz are getting grilled for their costs? I smell a rat and the judges and Scotty are making sure that the boys can’t win a room

This is a stupid rule. They’re being punished for being good negotiators. If they can get a $36,000 piano for $7000, then good on them! #TheBlock

Other viewers felt the original price for the piano was not realistic.

36k?...I don't know. #theblock pic.twitter.com/lwUvtTtAab

Either way, the boys were not happy with Scotty's decision with Oz saying, "It would have been nice if someone came up to us and said that couldn't be done."

Ankur and Sharon have allegedly been "ripped off" by their tradies.

Listen. We're not in the business of shaming hard-working men, but according to So Dramatic ,the tradesmen hired by Ankur and Sharon "ripped" the pair off.

"Sharon and Ankur were getting ripped off by their builders throughout the whole show," one insider shared. "They f**ked them over big time, ripped them off, and stole stuff from them."

According to reports, the Melbourne-based couple's situation had become so hostile, they turned to "production for help".

Things are set to heat up even more for the pair who have allegedly been left in the dust by their tradesmen as they end the season.

Ankur and Sharon were not the only contestants who threatened to leaveThe Block.

WhileThe Blockexperience has been undeniably hard for Sharon and Ankur, one insider told So Dramatic that the storyline playing out on TV at home is not the whole truth.

It's not really secret that the Melbourne-based pair were keen to pack up their bags and go home only just a few weeks into the experiment, but a source explained several teams made it clear they were unhappy during filming.

"Yes, Sharon and Ankur wanted to leave, and producers begged them to stay multiple times," the source told So Dramatic .“But everyone wanted to leave at some point. All of the contestants were saying it.”

Viewers at home watched on as Scott Cam called Ankur and Sharon ungrateful with the source adding that he had "made it into a big thing when it wasn't like that".

"Everyone had breakdowns, cried, and threatened to walk off and leave the show," the insider explained.

Even Jenny allegedly had moments of tears "multiple times" thanks to their build being shut down more than once byThe Blockforemen, Keith and Dan.

"She spat the dummy big time about that," the source said. "But they’re not showing everyone else threatening to because they can’t have the whole cast wanting to walk off.

"It would look bad for the show."

According to one source,The Blocksuffered from a rat infestation.

While it appearsThe Blockhouses are coming together quite nicely, it reportedly was not a liveable situation for the first few weeks on site.

According to So Dramatic, the contestants were forced to sleep in "inhumane" conditions.

"The Blockhouses were riddled with mice and rats. It was inhumane," an insider told host of the So Dramatic podcast, Megan Pustetto. "Especially the first few weeks when we had nowhere to sleep because none of the rooms had been built."

The source added that contestants could hear rats "running through the house".

"But even then, the rats were everywhere. You could hear them running through the house when you were trying to sleep or they would show up dead when you were building," they shared.
