For 17 seasons, we've watched contestants hammer, knock down and design rooms on The Block, in an effort to win some serious prize money (yep, we're looking at you Jimmy and Tam).
But that hard-earned cash doesn't always last after the show.
Well, at least that was the case for 2018 fan favourites Jess Eva and Norm Hogan who spent their entire $209,000 prize money in two years.
Watch the trailer for the current season of The Block. Post continues below.
Speaking on Triple M’s Moonman in The Morning last year, Jess explained all their money went to swimming pools for friends, gambling and a kind act for a stranger, among other things.
"The first thing we bought was two above-ground pools, and we handed them out to our friends like lollies," said Jess who now works at Triple M as a radio host.
The money also went to a big bet at the tennis and helping a stranger who they came across on a community Facebook board.
"When you come from nothing you’ve got nothing to lose," she said.
"If everyone can’t enjoy it together, what is the point of living?"
The couple said they have since started a savings plan.
