EXCLUSIVE: An insider reveals what will happen when The Block’s Kylie and Brad leave the show.
The Block seemingly has a ‘secret clause’ that has been revealed by one of the teams after rumours contestants Kylie and Brad will skip the auction. The couple will leave the show for good this week after Kylie and the remaining teams are outraged that they will still be eligible to keep their prize money after the auction despite not finishing the series.
“If that property sells for over the price guides and they haven’t attended the auction – most of the other contestants think the couple shouldn’t be able to collect any of the money the house makes,” a TV insider tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
There were still nine days of filming scheduled when Kylie and Brad quit the show, and the rest of the houses were all aware that the couple’s reasons for leaving were quite serious but at that stage everyone was fatigued.
Kylie is the first to leave the show after Brad and Mimi’s “flirting” scandal aired this week, which involved “inappropriate” comments from Brad to Mimi. While Mimi says she and Brad were “just talking”, he has admitted to the “flirting”.
“I said some pretty inappropriate comments,” he said at the time. “I was flirting with Mimi, Kylie overheard them and very understandably, she’s quite upset.”
Kylie and Brad’s ‘unreasonable’ request

Speaking about Kylie and Brad leaving the show, one team tells us, “I think it felt like a dream and we were all so tired that we weren’t thinking that they should be made to stay.
“Ask anyone who has been on any reality show that shoots for 12 weeks and they will tell you it’s always on your mind that you might just walk off set and not return.”
One contestant was outraged, saying, “There was a lot more that needed to be finished by Channel Nine after the couple quit the show. House Four was the least completed property and other builders just finished it off and made a lot of the remaining decisions.”
They added, “It seems unreasonable not to finish your house and still be eligible for the same percentages.”
At a Channel Nine event in Sydney last week, rumours began spreading that Kylie and Brad will be no-shows at the auction, which is filmed on November 9th.
“I think that the finale will be dramatic with or without them,” a producer tells us. “Everyone is invited back and everyone has been offered the same arrangements but it really will be a case of no one really knowing if Kylie will turn up, except Kylie.”
The producer adds that it would be disappointing if she didn’t take part to celebrate the experience, because everyone put so much into the season.
If the pair gets some form of special consideration, the Blockheads on the show will be upset, as everyone had to complete the clubhouse, which required another week of building with some returning contestants.
“That wasn’t that fun either as the returnees were super competitive and kind of treated everyone like they were better than the rest of us,” the contestant adds.
