‘The Block’ Contestants Embroiled in Cheating Scandal

One sec Block has experienced many fraud scandals, but the latest one is one of the most explosive!

House 2’s Grant, who was called “grumpy” by both cast and crew, had a falling out with Foreman Dan over gyprock music.

Specifically, Grant and his wife Courtney were accused of over-ordering construction materials used to build walls and ceilings, giving them an unfair advantage over their competitors.

“He (foreman Dan) thinks we’re putting ourselves in an unfair position because we accidentally overordered from some hardware store this week,” Grant said, visibly frustrated, in front of cameras on the first day of week six, denying accusations of fraud.

According to Dan, the band ordered over 40 Gyprock records for the four walls, which is significantly more than could be considered a simple mistake.

“If you’re doing four walls, you don’t need forty sheets,” Dan explained to Grant, before revealing that breaking a cardinal rule on The Block would have “consequences”: “Do not order more material than you need for the current week.”

In other words, participants are not allowed to store anything on site for future weeks.

While we won’t learn the full implications of this until renovations to the mezzanine and adjoining bathroom begin in week seven, it seems unlikely that Grant will take responsibility.

After hanging up with Dan, the 30-year-old once again got emotional and said he “didn’t understand.”

“It was an accident, a mistake,” he added.

But they aren’t the only team to overbook, as additional Gyprock players arrived on site to replace Maddie and Charlotte, and Kristian and Mimi.

While the Sydney sisters managed to avoid Foreman Dan’s wrath thanks to Jesse and Paige ordering a plaster stove, Kristian and Mimi weren’t so lucky – Grant threw his friends under the bus.

“I know that everyone has been storing plaster on site for the last four weeks and they haven’t been punished for it,” Grant shared with Dan, claiming that he and his wife Courtney were unfairly attacked.

Dan, however, was not about to tolerate this, especially after his earlier discussions with Grant about ordering furniture in advance:

“You’re making fun of me, so I’m going to shut you down. I told you last time not to pre-order. You look at authority like it’s nothing,” Dan blurted out, adding that the Red Team “disrespected” him.

“We don’t have the space at work for you to overdo it with stuff. Furniture is one thing, now you’ve done it with plaster.”

Only time will tell how Sydney and Team Purple’s couple (Kristian and Mimi) will be punished for their misdeeds during their mezzanine bathroom renovation in week seven!
