Episode 25 handed out some of the most argued over 10s in the show’s history, gave Tayla a pot plant and an air fryer book to defend her legacy with, and reminded everyone that a light directly over the toilet is a bold design choice. r/TheBlock had thoughts on all of it.
Those Perfect Scores Convinced Nobody
The girls walked away with two 10s, and the thread simply wasn’t having it. “These are some of the worst 10’s I’ve seen in a while,” read one comment, with another calling out the obvious timing: “convenient it’s the girls when they need money.” The scoring inconsistency stung even harder next to a completely unfinished room scoring higher than a finished one elsewhere in the episode, a sore point one fan promised to “keep bringing up” all season.
Tayla Blamed A Pot Plant For Her Score, And Reddit Wasn’t Buying It
Tayla’s post-judging spiral over “a pot plant and an air fryer book” became the moment of the night, equal parts funny and exhausting. “It’s not cause of that Tayla, you have no taste,” one fan wrote, while another was blunter still about her contribution to the build all season: no effort, bad style, and a suspicious amount of time treated like a working holiday.
That Toilet Light Fixture Broke The Thread
A light fixture hanging directly over the toilet earned its own chapter in Block infamy. “The light over the actual toilet seat is gonna give me free laughs all week,” one commenter admitted, and even the judges’ harshest critic in the thread found himself agreeing with Shaynna for once: “having a light fixture dangling over your head while you’re trying to take a shit is actually wild.”
Shaynna’s Plant Rule Got Called Out As Hypocrisy
Judges’ notes about corner plants didn’t land well given Shaynna’s own well documented love of a big leafy statement piece. “Remember what Shaynna says: don’t put plants in the corner, like she does,” one fan pointed out, though others jumped to her defence, arguing she only objects to the sad, scrawny kind.
The AI Music Tally Keeps Climbing
The running scoreboard nobody asked for but everybody checks landed on seven for the night, keeping the season’s least favourite recurring bit alive and well. At this rate the thread may need its own leaderboard graphic before the finale.
The Verdict
Episode 25 left r/TheBlock more annoyed at the scorecard than impressed by any of the rooms, between two contentious 10s, a finished room that scored worse than an empty one, and Tayla’s pot plant defence tour. At least the toilet light gave everyone a laugh line for the week.
