The Block 2026 Episode 16: What r/TheBlock Actually Thought

Ensuite week wrapped with a dog house challenge, another Courtney and Sev budget blowout, and something rarely seen this season: Scotty Cam actually calling out the favouritism.

Even Scotty’s had enough of the favouritism

After weeks of the thread pointing out how much help Courtney and Sev keep getting compared to everyone else, Scotty finally said the quiet part out loud on camera, and fans were thrilled to see it acknowledged.

Scotty said he’d be blowing up as a contestant for all the help Court and Sev are getting.

Over $100,000 spent and still not listening

The girls’ spending has now cracked six figures for the season, with a plan to hide costly extras behind the TV unit leaving the thread stunned that the budget conversation still isn’t sinking in.

How are they this bad at following a budget? And then to complain about it?

A season of unfinished rooms

Fans are struggling to recall a season with this many incomplete reveals this early, and most of the blame is landing on production’s tight scheduling rather than the contestants themselves.

Not even four weeks in and I’m pretty sure there’s been more unfinished rooms than any other completed season.

Wyatt’s snack hoarding didn’t go unnoticed

A public holiday day trip turned into another Wyatt moment, this time over an eyebrow raising haul of biscuits, keeping the thread’s running tally of Wyatt complaints ticking along.

The verdict

Sixteen episodes in, and the season’s defining story might not be any one room, it’s the growing gap between how forgiving production is with one team and how brutal the deadlines are for everyone else. Even the host is starting to agree.

Onwards to see who actually gets a finished ensuite this week.
