The Block fans have been left divided after Foreman Dan was caught in a heated clash with Han (of team Han and Can) after she disobeyed his instructions about waterproofing her bathroom. Most teams during Tuesday night’s episode were a little behind schedule with their waterproofing, with many still having one coat to finish before they could start tiling.

And if you’ve never watched The Block before, Waterproofing Wednesday, as it’s known, is a big deal, because if your waterproofing isn’t done on time, your whole bathroom is in danger of not getting finished. So, if there was something you could do to speed up your waterproofing, no doubt you’d probably try, right?

The Block’s Han clashes with Foreman Dan: ‘Gone behind my back’

So, when Han tells Foreman Dan and site manager Aidan that she’s done an unheard-of “one and a half coats” of waterproofing and that their waterproofer overslept and is still almost two hours away, she’s immediately told she cannot do any work without the tradie there.

Dan explains to the viewers that you can’t do what Han claims to have done, where the waterproofer was ‘working around’ her doing a second coat while she was doing the first coat, saying, “For waterproofing, you need to do one coat, you’ve gotta let it fully cure, then you do a second coat. There is no ‘working coat’.”

He explicitly tells Han that they cannot start their second coat until their tradie arrives, saying she can help him when he comes, but she can’t start on her own because she’s not licensed.

And so what does Han do? She starts the second coat before her tradie arrives, of course!

It doesn’t take long before Dan sees her doing the work before the waterproofer has arrived, and he’s not happy.

Han tried to claim that the waterproofer was on site, but Dan wasn’t having that, telling her, “No he’s not! Where is he?”

“You’ve disobeyed my instruction, so now I’ve lost trust here,” he said. “Because you’ve just gone behind my back.”

Han explains that she misheard him and didn’t mean to go behind his back, but Dan is unimpressed. He tells her that he’s not fully shutting down their site, but she can’t help the waterproofer complete the job.

“I feel like I just got told off by my parents as a kid,” Can tells girlfriend Han.

Later, when Dan comes to check out their finished waterproofing, Han pulls him aside to apologise, explaining she’s devastated and that she just had so much on her mind that she didn’t listen properly, but promises not to do it again.

Dan told her he understood, saying that it’s a learning experience and they can move on.

Viewers were left divided over Dan’s clash with Han, with many agreeing that she deserved the treatment from him as she was in the wrong, and some saying he was too harsh on her.

“Dan, Dan, stop being so rude,” one viewer wrote, while another added, “I wouldn’t say rude, but he was a bit overdramatic.”

“So difficult to watch that scene… it feels like the ‘not listening’ has been a running theme her whole life… feeling for her big time!” a third wrote. “It’s never nice to watch a grown adult crying.”

“Rubbish,” one person said. “He was firm, respectful and correct.”

“She should have just owned up and moved on instead of making excuses about not hearing, she heard, but she just did what she wanted then got caught so turned on the water works and made excuses,” someone else added.

“Got caught instead of just admitting [fault], she flat out lied, own up apologise, move on,” another said.

“Pitiful excuse when she’s just being arrogant and doing things her way and showing no respect to the rules,” one viewer wrote.

“She is actually lucky it wasn’t Keith he would have made them re do the whole thing,” another person said, referencing The Block’s former foreman, Keith Schleiger, who is no longer on the show.
