With the rumour-mill out it in full force in the last few months with odds-on guesses as to where the next season of the Block will be, it appears we may have our answer.
The Herald Sun are reporting that a $10 million block of land in the Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick looks set to be the location of this year’s series.
According to the paper, the property was purchased for $9.6 million at the end of last year. It’s believed it was snapped up by a company that has strong links to Channel 9 and where Nine CEO Hugh Marks listed as one of the directors.
If the series is to go ahead in the Elsternwick location, it will no doubt breathe a breath of fresh air into the long-running series that’s arguably due for change after 12 seasons. At this point, the property that has been purchased is a sizable but empty block of land.
In previous series, contestants renovated existing hotels or apartment blocks where the framework of the building was worked around.

It's the same rubbish every year. Time to axe The Block.
Time to move away from Melbourne Blockheads.
