Has The Block gone bland? Leaked photos of one home in the upcoming 2025 series show it is VERY similar to a previous season – but one major twist is revealed

BBG News

As the upcoming season of The Block nears, enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the innovative designs that the latest group of renovators will unveil in this year’s setting: the peaceful Victorian village of Daylesford.

However, photographs that surfaced of one of the finished houses suggest that the next 2025 edition of the series shares a striking resemblance in style with an earlier season of the program.

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but speculate about the upcoming series, with rumors swirling that it might be a follow-up to the mesmerizing 2022 ‘Tree Change’ season, which was beautifully set in Gisborne, nestled within the picturesque Macedon Ranges. Incidentally, this year’s location seems to be not far from there – making me wonder if we might be revisiting familiar grounds soon!

According to the source, they noted that the design and quality of the houses are remarkably similar to those seen in Tree Change.

‘Same vibe, same tones, same country-chic energy.’

Certainly, photographs of a finished property leaked by the same-sex duo, Han and Can, exhibit a striking resemblance, especially when it comes to their choice of furniture.

An image displays a cozy dwelling, featuring a spacious, prominent white modular sofa as its centerpiece.

The given piece of furniture shares a near-match with the sofas that were featured in Ankur, Sharon, Rachel, and Ryan’s living spaces as far back as 2022.

In their living area, there’s a cozy accent wall filled with soft materials, while behind it you’ll find a comfortable lounge setting. Beige drapes and some atmospheric lighting complete the space.

Simultaneously, other photos display a minimalist yet chic open concept kitchen and lounge area, featuring a substantial fireplace enclosed within a striking marble accent wall.

The kitchen seems tailor-made for entertaining, showcasing a generous wine rack and a dedicated refrigerator for wines.

Although it bears a resemblance to the 2022 season, an industry source informed Daily Mail Australia that the couple’s upscale decor aligns perfectly with the fashionable trends of the locale.

‘It’s sleek, chic and very on-brand for Daylesford,’ they said. 

The show that finished shooting on June 1 will debut a bit earlier than expected, potentially airing during the first week of August.

Although audiences are accustomed to passionate quarrels and exaggerated theatrics, industry insiders suggest that this season might take a turn in a distinct direction instead.

‘There’s actually much less conflict this year,’ one well-placed insider said.

However, just because it might not be action-packed doesn’t make it dull. Instead, there’s an enchanting and welcoming vibe to this season that could catch even longtime enthusiasts off guard.

Though it may lack high-octane excitement, it certainly isn’t monotonous. There’s a captivating and inviting essence about this season that might leave longstanding fans pleasantly surprised.

On the other hand, it was noted by the source that some people are skeptical whether producers have completely embraced the health-conscious and holistic lifestyle that Daylesford is recognized for.

According to an inside source, there were many discussions at the start suggesting that the upcoming season could emphasize self-sustainable living, nutritious diets, and overall wellness – aspects the town is particularly famous for.

‘But in reality, the houses are still very much classic Block homes.’

During the broadcast of State of Origin on Wednesday evening, Nine gave a sneak peek into their upcoming series with a short promotional video.

The video displayed Scott Cam and Shelley Craft navigating Block-style trucks as part of a caravan, heading towards their latest destination.

This year, as Scott explains in the video, we’ve gathered everything together and are planning a trip to a unique destination.

Indeed, Australia! I’ve discovered a gem of a countryside town that you’ll adore. Let’s pack up and head there for a heap of enjoyable experiences!

The clip then showed a shirtless Darren Palmer riding a majestic steed along rolling pastures.

Judge Marty Fox queries, ‘Is that the Man From Snowy River?’ To which Shaynna Blaze responds, ‘No, it’s just Dan without a shirt on. Once more.’

The playful teaser additionally offers fans an initial glimpse into the 2025 Block duos: Emma and Ben, Han and Can, Robbie and Matt, Alicia and Sonny, and Britt and Taz.

This tongue-in-cheek sneak peek introduces the 2025 Block pairs to fans: Emma and Ben, Han and Can, Robbie and Matt, Alicia and Sonny, and Britt and Taz.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I couldn’t help but leap out of Scott’s spacious truck with infectious excitement, eager to share the news about what’s shaping up to be an outstanding Block season ahead!

The caption on the video read, “Our caravan is heading into an extraordinary small town for the largest Block event yet!

The post sparked a whirlwind of enthusiastic eagerness among fans, one of them even said: “Another fantastic job by the promotions team.

Another chimed in with a similar: ‘Oh yeh! Can’t wait for this one it’s going to be mega!’

Even though viewers might believe they’ve witnessed every surprise the reality TV drama has to offer, the 2025 season is set to introduce a fresh, unprecedented twist that hasn’t been seen before.

In an exciting new twist, contestants must construct their opulent dwellings entirely from the ground up on a fresh piece of land. This new development promises to add yet another layer of pressure and urgency to an already tense and time-constrained building process.

In the year 2025, the competition is set to unfold in the picturesque central Victorian town of Daylesford. Contestants are said to construct their homes from scratch, showcasing their unique skills and talents.

Earlier, Blockheads were assigned to refurbish a pre-existing property. In the context of the 2022 season, their task involved restoring houses that had been transported to the Gisborne site instead.

2025 competitors will need to construct the framework of a five-bedroom design, encompassing a study room, a living space, and a garage.

Additionally, the facilities will offer extra luxurious perks such as a sheltered outdoor space and a warm pool for swimming.

As a lifestyle expert, I was thrilled to learn that Daylesford was slated to host The Block’s 2024 season. However, due to a contentious planning disagreement, the production team found it necessary to relocate the event to the picturesque Phillip Island instead.

It appears that the network was compelled to call off reservations totaling $500,000 for the show’s actors and staff, which they had previously arranged for lodging.

A production source shared with The Herald Sun that our company has produced numerous successful series across various places, yet we avoid going to places where we’re not welcomed instead.

In December, Hygge Property’s 2,000 square meter plot of land received approval from the Victorian Planning Minister for constructing five homes.

Daylesford, situated approximately 114 kilometers from Melbourne, offers a breathtaking blend of scenic splendor, historical allure, and thriving local ambiance that serves as a captivating setting perfect for staging an event.
