It looks like The Block contestant Kylie Baker has a penchant for the dramatics, because not only is she rumoured to quit the show shortly, she also just stormed off set last night in a huff.
ICYMI, sisters Maddy and Charlotte Harry replaced ‘villain’ couple Paige Beechey and Jesse Maguire halfway through the show, and the other contestants haven’t welcomed them with open arms. Most of the catty behaviour stems from when the other teams found out Maddy and Charlotte had flipped properties previously, which they weren’t pleased about.
Since we’re at the end of the season, host Scott Cam popped on a preview screening of the show for the teams. Maddy and Charlotte hadn’t realised the extent of the mean-spirited comments their peers had been saying behind their backs, so this opened a whole can of worms.
“It’s not pleasant but I understand we are on a reality show,” Maddy told producers through tears. “This is what we signed up for but you just don’t ever expect that you would be the reason that a group of eight adults get together and tear you apart.”
The sisters are stronger than I’ll ever be, because they then had to host a losers dinner and play nice with their competitors. After Ricky and Haydn asked how they were doing, and what their thoughts were after seeing the episode, things heated up.
The sisters stated that they had no regrets, because the other contestants didn’t attempt to bond with them or even ask about their house-flipping background. Shots fired!!!
At this point, Kylie had enough and she stormed off.
“I don’t need to deal with fucking liars, my god,” Kylie told her husband Brad. “It was a conversation that I did not want to be a part of anymore so I took the mature stance and left.”
Over on Reddit, The Block fans have been busy criticising Kylie’s actions. She is a grown woman, after all.
“Kylie’s temper tantrum was childish and embarrassing. She and the other contestants have ignored Maddy and Charlotte from the start and now have the nerve to complain that the girls aren’t keen on sharing information about themselves,” one person said.
“How the fuck can she sit there with a straight face and say the girls are immature? She acts like she’s a five-year-old who packs up their toys and goes home,” another added.
“I genuinely feel bad for Maddy and Charlotte and truly believe that the whole ‘house flipping’ ordeal has [been] blown way out of proportion purely because of Kylie (and Brad) but mostly just Kylie. I think the other contestants would have moved on and given them more time of day to build a genuine connection if it wasn’t for Kylie,” a third wrote.
“Why on earth do the other teams think the girls had to divulge everything about them? I totally want to see the girls win,” another added.
The Block 2024 is almost over, with the backyard and pool reveal set to happen next week. I reckon when the houses go to auction, Maddy and Charlotte have a good chance at taking out the win. Wouldn’t that be great karma?!
