Foreman Dan Reilly has shared his thoughts on the disastrous results of The Block auction during Sunday’s tense finale.
Only three of the five homes sold to successful bidders – with two failing to sell, and two more yielding a low payday for the contestants.
The renovation show’s stern foreman replied to comments on his Instagram on Sunday night, and did not pull any punches.
‘Who did the reserve prices?’ asked one incredulous fan in Dan’s comments section.
Dan replied coolly: ‘Someone who hopefully won’t be doing it again.’
Another fan questioned: ‘Aren’t you upset that two houses have not won any money? I’ve been screaming at the TV! The reserves are just too high!’

Dan was quick to write: ‘I am gutted for them.’
A solid field of bidders – including series veteran Danny Wallis – turned out to the rural Victorian town of Daylesford on Saturday, the site of the 2025 iteration of the Channel Nine series.
In a shock result, Western Australian couple Britt and Taz took out the top sale of the day – offloading their stylish House 3 for an impressive $3.41 million.
With a reserve of $2.99 million, the fan favourites walked away $420,000 richer – adding to that, a $100,000 bonus prize, netting them a total $520,000.
But it all went downhill from there.
Fellow renovators Robby and Mat’s South Australian property fetched $3.099million, netting the best mates a meagre $109,999 profit.
The lads were bitterly disappointed with the winning amount, which they will have to split between them.
Meanwhile, Sonny and Alicia sold their home for $3.06 million – $120,000 above their $2.94 million reserve.

Despite the small yield, the couple were happy with the result.
But not everyone walked away with a sale, as both Emma and Ben, and Han and Can, failed to attract enough interest to get their properties over the line.
In heartbreaking scenes, Emma and Ben’s home was passed in after bidding stalled at their $2.99million reserve – and even a $3.10 million bid failed to help it generate interest.
Han and Can’s home also failed to sell, the ladies left facing the crushing reality that they were walking away from the show without having made a penny.
The pair admitted to feeling ‘physically sick’ as their dreams were dashed.
There were fears of an auction disaster in the lead-up to the big day, with the eye-watering price guides on the Daylesford homes raising some eyebrows.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that the teams behind the five properties were hoping to fetch $3 million to $3.3 million for their creations.
However, the insanely high price guide did not match up with the median house prices in the Victorian town, where homes are four times cheaper.
According to PropTrack data recorded in July, an average home in Daylesford costs around $820,000.
