The Block builders walk off set after explosive row with new contestants leaves them in tears

As a seasoned observer of reality TV shows, I must say that the drama unfolding on The Block this week has been nothing short of captivating. It seems that the newcomers Maddy and Charlotte Harry have stirred up quite a storm, much like a Sydney summer squall.


On Tuesday, construction team leader Zak and his colleagues abruptly left the project and departed from the show following a passionate argument with the latest additions, Maddy and Charlotte Harry.

At the very last moment, the sisters residing in Sydney hurriedly traveled to claim House One, which was previously owned by Paige and Jesse Maguire after their unexpected departure from the program a week ago.

However, matters took a turn for the worse for Maddy, aged 24, and Charlotte, 22, when they found themselves at odds with the builder chosen by their former counterparts.

Ever since the arrival of the sisters a few days back, I’ve noticed a significant increase in tension between the parties we’re working with. When speaking with our host, Scott Cam, they confided that they find Zak somewhat intimidating to interact with.

Immediately, the carpenter angrily confronted them, accusing them of undermining him during a television appearance by secretly building a house using another contractor named Jack, without his knowledge.

The latest episode saw a peak in tension as Zak expressed his frustration over the disorganized workspace at House One, which he referred to as being like a brothel.

Charlotte tried to soothe the tradesman by suggesting possible solutions, but he felt offended when it seemed like she was overlooking him and speaking directly to his subordinate, Nathan instead.

He shared that he was aiming for a more direct dialogue between the two of them, but it seemed like you were speaking more to Nathan instead. He found this behavior rather impolite, which left Charlotte feeling emotional.

“It started on Monday, and when I posed a question to you, you shifted your attention towards Nathan instead.” (Paraphrased)

Later on, Charlotte admitted to the producers that she and her sister Maddy frequently communicate with Nathan instead of Zak, as she finds him more accessible.

In the rapidly escalating situation between Charlotte and Zak, they decided to postpone their discussion until the next day for a calmer and more productive talk.

Despite a peaceful night, the warmth of their disagreement didn’t subside. Instead, Zak persisted in finding fault with the girls for perceiving him as intimidating.

In an attempt to help him see things differently, Maddy explained that his straightforward approach came across as negative.

He apologetically said, “I’m sorry if my tone is difficult for you,” but Charlotte found this insincere. This led to Zak ultimately deciding to leave the program.

I find myself compelled to share that our current team dynamics aren’t quite aligning as they should. I apologize, my colleagues. It seems we need a change. With that said, let’s gather our belongings and prepare for our departure.

After that, he angrily departed while Maddy tried to part ways amicably by expressing regret, which inadvertently triggered tears because she ended up needing to apologize to Nathan instead.

‘I think being kind goes a long way,’ Maddy tearfully told producers after the row.

We’re not demanding everything, we simply want respect. From the start, I suspected it might not have been a perfect match.

Maddy expressed regret that things concluded as they did, yet firmly stated her inability to collaborate with someone whom she found difficult to communicate openly with.
