The Block judges accused of 'poor acting' after shock bathroom reveal

The Block fans have slammed Sunday night's episode, which saw Ricky and Haydn getting judged on their unfinished main bathroom due to a series of bad events last week. Number one being they had to fire their builder, who abandoned the site to go to a concert with his partner.

As judges Shaynna Blaze, Marty Fox and Darren Palmer entered House 3 they shared their excitement over what they thought would be a great bathroom. Shaynna says, "This is going to be awesome," while Marty adds, "I can't wait to see!"

But it, sadly, all takes a very depressing turn.

"What the – " Shaynna says as she enters the room, with Scotty completing her sentence back at HQ and saying, "– fudge is this."

The judges are shocked that there's no waterproofing or tiling down in the bathroom, with Marty describing it as "the most unfinished room in Block history".

Darren says he feels "somebody walked off", adding, "If that's the case, then I feel really sorry for the boys."

In the end, the boys finish with just four points.

Ricky and Haydn fans slam judging of unfinished bathroom

Fans took to social media, sharing their thoughts on whether or not the boys should have been judged on the unfinished room.

"This post might be a bit controversial, but I think in the case of the boys Bathroom, the judges should be told what has happened, as it is not the boys' fault. The boys should not be at judging just to be belittled in front of anyone," one user wrote.

"Absolutely... completely out of their control, and in no way due to any incompetence on their behalf," another said.

"I completely agree!" a third said. "Don’t set people up to fail! It was not their fault just tell the judges & move on to the next house!"

"I felt heart broken for the boys. They handled the situation with finesse and dignity," someone else said.

The Block fans claim judges were acting during bathroom reveal

However, others pointed out that there was no way that the judges didn't know about the room before entering and that their reactions were really 'poor acting'.

"Obviously, the judges know about the issues with the rooms before judging," one user said. "Many years ago a contestant hid a phone under the bed, hoping I guess, to hear for themselves what the judges had to say. It is the only time ever that a judge decided to look under a bed to see what was there! Do the producers really have such a low opinion of the viewers' intelligence?"

"Acting lessons are needed by the judges," another added. "Anyone believe the didn’t know the state of the boys room before they entered."

"Shaynna was so transparent," a third claimed. "She knew prior to seeing the boys bathroom exactly what it looked like. Very poor acting Shaynna."

"100% so scripted and set up," someone else said.

"Totally scripted. Yeah they knew, but played along," another said, listing reasons they believed the judges already knew. "You could tell by: They took pains to make a fuss of the boys’ first bathroom + improvements (no others got this). Their initial 'horror' at the ensuite’s state was tempered by their wondering what could have gone wrong."

They continued listing reasons, adding, "The judges were eerily close in their guesses about what happened, eg 'Someone must have walked off the site.' They even empathised, 'they must be gutted…' No. They knew."

"They knew… the way they were hyping it up as they walked in screamed poor acting," yet another user agreed.
