The Block’s Kylie and Brad Baker return to auction day and are the first to receive shocking news in the series – and not all viewers are happy
The Block Kylie and Brad Baker made a sensational return to the series on Sunday evening, in time for auction day.
In another shocking move, the teams also chose to keep the details of their home’s reserve price confidential from other competitors.
This protocol change sparked strong reactions from fans, with many questioning the league’s fairness and transparency.
The Bakers, who became the center of viewers’ outrage after their involvement in the infamous ‘flirtgate’ scandal, were allowed to return to the show despite mounting criticism.

The couple’s return has sparked new waves of backlash, with fans flocking to social media to vent their frustration and call for stricter rules.
On X, formally known as Twitter, fans expressed their concerns about Kylie and Brad’s continued involvement with the show.
“Kylie and Brad should be disqualified and the winnings should be split between the tradies,” one user exclaimed.
