The Block fans slam contestant's 'ridiculous' $30k mistake: 'Absolute joke'

The Block fans have slammed Kylie and Brad after she decided not to use their Bonus Point Penguin, which the couple won in a challenge and could have helped them win the week and prizes worth up to $30,000. The bonus point can only be played after the first batch of judges' scores are revealed and before the final scores are shown.

This week, Kylie was mad that she was being asked to do a children's room, and out of spite of not feeling proud of the room she worked on, she decided she wouldn't use the penguin. Of course, it was revealed moments later that the penguin could have given the couple the win by half a point, but instead, Kristian and Mimi took out the prize – their third win in four weeks.

The judges thought Kylie and Brad's kids' room was their best room yet, with Darren Palmer saying, "Wait a minute, where are we?" He added, "This is it. They’ve done it. This is where they need to be. It feels soft, light, and bright."

"It feels absolutely right for Phillip Island," Darren adds.

However, Kylie stood firm in not playing their bonus point, even though Scotty and Brad tried to convince her to use it.

"I don’t want to win a room that I don’t even like," Kylie said.

The Block fans slam Kylie's 'unbelievable' attitude

The Block viewers have slammed Kylie's decision and questioned why it was all up to her and not Brad.

"What an absolute disgraceful decision," one Instagram user said. "You just gave House 5 more amenities for auction because of your ego. Liked you guys so much until this decision, poor Brad."

"It’s a competition, with cash and prizes on the line," another said. "Why would you not want to win."

"Well that backfired, her silly decision only hurt them and no one else," a third added.

"This year is an absolute joke," a Facebook user wrote.

Another described Kylie as "too opinionated and does things out of spite", adding, "You could see her hubby was not impressed."

"I don't think she understands the point of The Block, it's not about making a house that you like, it's about making a house that buyers like and will pay loads of money for!" a third added.

Others pointed out that she might be holding out for a week with better prizes, with one user writing, "She may have been thinking of last time when someone kept the gnome to be sure and win the car."

"A very expensive error on her part," one said.

"It's almost like she's sabotaging them!" another added. "And getting a great deal of satisfaction... but who does she think she's scoring points over? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot."
