1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: And Amanda Jamna down to the Jonesy demand of arms

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: for the pub test today the block? Does it pass

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the pub test? Britt and Taz won the block last night.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Four hundred and twenty thousand dollars in profit they sold.

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: I'm not in profit. That's how they've got that. They

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: sold their place for three point four three point four minutes.

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: But they ended up with that money that goes into

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: their conference, isn't that's right?

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: So they sold the place for that, plus they got

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: money for being the winners.

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: I was watching Matt and Robbie, who I thought they

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: were a gay couple, but they're not. Robbie met Matt

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: when Matt cut Robbie's hair fifteen years ago, and so do.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: You want to go on the block?

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: And Robbie's got a wife, a little baby. And then

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: I was watching it last night and I thought they

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: were a thrupple. I thought, this is where we are now.

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: They've got a thropple on the block. But no, there's

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: no thruple there.

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: But what was not a throuple? But no mystery millionaires.

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: And I like money, and devastatingly for them, they only

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: got one hundred nine thousand dollars over what they were getting.

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: And I think in the world of auctions, if you

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: sold a house, you'd think a one hundred thousand dollars

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: over selling a house is a good thing. I remember

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: years ago I sold a place and I think we

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: was pretty much that one hundred thousand, and I thought, well,

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: that's good, we haven't lost. But I guess on the

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: TV show it's a different gettle of fish.

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: And some years there are millions of dollars that everybody wins.

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: In some years two of the couple's got nothing, no profit,

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: no bids.

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, hand and Cam.

34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: They're saying that this is more realistic this season because

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: he didn't have those big mystery or not even mystery,

36
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: the big crazy billionaires coming in and the fact that

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: was more realistic. Do you feel you've been manipulated in

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: previous years or how do you feel about the block?

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: It's so watchable though. I just loved the show.

40
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: But it was in Dalsford as well, and the price

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: guides of the block homes were between three million, three

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: point three million, four times the town's median house price.

43
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: Who's going to go to a town? Beautiful, beautiful destination

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: town ninety minutes out of Melbourne. But there's now five

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: houses that are multi million dollar homes. Who's going to

46
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: buy them? Are there enough homes? Has the block done

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: the right thing by those contestants?

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: We're too close to it. We're good friends at Scotty.

49
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: We love the show. I'm not going to say a

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: bad word about the show. I think it's great. But

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: what do you.

52
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: Think the block? Does it pass the pub test?

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 3: Block does not pass the pub test in its current form.

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of the show. The degree of Channel

55
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: nine and the fact that the producers have too much

56
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: saying what goes on is incredibly annoying. They'll make spilling

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: paint on carp at a half hour drama, and they'll

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 3: actually take the contestants down a road they probably don't want.

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: I believe it doesn't pass the pub test. I do

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: like the show. It's like every reality show at the moment,

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: it's becoming unrealistic and it's three point something million dollars

62
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 4: in the middle of nowhere, an area half out of Melbourne.

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: No thanks, it doesn't pass the pub test to me.

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: No, I think it's a terrible show, especially when we're

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: in a house in crisis. People are struggling to pay rent,

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: and then these idiots go to a small country town

67
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: a ridiculously priced number of properties, and even the people

68
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: in the town are shaking their head, going WTF. So

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: I think it's got to be ditched unrealistic expectations, especially

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: during a housing crisis.

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: I guess it only depends on how it rated when

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the results come out a little bit later on.

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: But the block always wins dividends the channel.

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: It really does
