Scott Cam didn’t hold back when word got back to him that a contestant this season was accusing the show of conspiring against her.

There were tense scenes on Wednesday’s episode of The Block when host Scott Cam confronted one contestant, advising her to “readjust (her) attitude” to the show’s cast and crew.

An episode earlier, WA contestant Han had clashed with The Block foreman Dan, after she went ahead with an unapproved change to her floor plan that he wasn’t happy about.

It wasn’t the first time Dan had accused her of charging ahead with works without his approval, but this time Han wasn’t having it – she accused him of manufacturing problems “for the camera” and angrily insisted the entire thing was a stitch-up.

A day on, and in his weekly walkarounds with Shelley Craft, Scott Cam visited Han and her partner Can (Dan, Han, Can and Cam – yes, this is a deeply confusing season for Block drama), and let her know he wasn’t going to accept those accusations.

“Now, I’ve got a few things I need to say. Han, I hear some people saying that you’re accusing us of a stitch-up and doing things just for camera. I’ve told you many, many times: We never set you up to fail. We never stitch you up. We help you along the way, and we’ve always helped you along the way,” he told her.

Scott Cam was firm: Fix your attitude.
Addressing her unapproved changes – this time, moving the floorplan – Cam told her: “You’re making decisions that are affecting you – you’re making those decisions, not us. You’re not a builder, so don’t make decisions that are going to affect your build. And don’t accuse us of trying to stitch you up and doing stuff just for camera, because we don’t do that.”

He finished his dressing down with a firm request of Han.

“So, now I’m going to ask you really nicely to readjust your attitude on this show. To the crew, to Dan, to me and to everyone around you … OK?”

Han’s response to the dressing down: ‘Heard.’
Han’s two-word reply? “Yeah. Heard.”

She had more to say to the cameras when Cam had gone, though, saying the whole episode had been “unfair” on her: “I actually don’t think I need an attitude readjustment. It’s not an attitude problem.”

There was a happy ending for this particular Block clash, though: Later in the episode, Han grabbed Cam for a one-on-one chat, apologising and insisting she never intentionally set out to break any of the show’s rules.

Cam accepted the apology and the pair agreed to move forward.
