The blue team on The Block 2026 is Gold Coast couple Chantel and Wyatt, who met at the gym and have been inseparable ever since. Now they’re swapping the weights room for a building site on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
Update (9 July 2026): Nine’s official trailer confirms Chantel and Wyatt as the blue team. See all five teams in our team colours breakdown.
Who are Chantel and Wyatt?
The pair hail from the Gold Coast, Queensland. Wyatt, who goes by “Big Dog”, claims zero building experience, unless bodybuilding counts, and is planning to learn the trade on the go once filming gets underway. It’s a bold approach on a show where a lack of hands-on renovation experience has sunk more than one team’s chances in the past.
What to expect
Teams that arrive with limited building experience tend to lean hard on physical fitness, stamina and a willingness to learn fast, and Chantel and Wyatt look built for exactly that kind of season. Whether enthusiasm and gym-honed work ethic can make up for the trade knowledge other teams bring to Mount Eliza will be one of the storylines to watch early on.
The Block 2026 premieres Sunday 2 August on Channel Nine and 9Now, confirmed in the official trailer released on 9 July. Full team profiles are on our The Block 2026 hub.

The Block 2026 season in review: Chantel and Wyatt
Chantel and Wyatt (blue team, House 2) finished the season without a single room reveal win, which Nine noted as a first in 22 seasons. They were strongest in the ensuite and the front yard, and they took the CommBank Better Budgeting Award for the tightest budget in week two. At auction, House 2 sold for $3,817,000, which is $367,000 over the $3,450,000 reserve. See every result on our auction results page.
Their season in scores
- Kitchen: 5th, 23/30
- Family bathroom: 3rd, 21.5/30
- Main ensuite: 2nd, 25.5/30
- Front yard and gardens final: equal 3rd, 26
The moments and feuds people talked about
- Nearly leaving: a $20,000 discrepancy in episode 6 that nearly sent them home, later shown to be a computer glitch in episode 8, and the decision to stay.
- The vanilla verdict: a living room the judges flattened in episode 21, and Shaynna’s point in episode 25 that mass-market choices rarely win rooms.
- The TV that would not flip: Freedom and the judges both asked them to turn it towards the water view (episode 34), and a redo room still finished last on 17.5 in episode 37.
- The Bunnings land grab: every paver, plant and off-cut blue-taped under House 2’s name in episode 30.
- House rules: the dishwashing note war (episode 35) and the gym-after-dinner row (episode 26).
- Pool tile mix-up: their tiles were swapped with Tayla’s at delivery and laid (episodes 40 and 41).
Where they won and lost the season
They won on discipline: the budgeting award, the ensuite and a front yard that finished level with Lisa and Rosco. They lost on the rooms, where a mass-market approach left them short of the top spot in every reveal, and on the kitchen, where the wrong handles and delivery issues set them back in episode 28.
