The Block star left fuming over 'cheating scandal': 'Totally disgraceful'

This season of The Block has had its fair share of scandals already – we've had signatures forged, a team has left, the replacement team isn't being respected and so on. And on Monday night's episode, Foreman Dan was left fuming when he discovered Grant had massively over-ordered plasterboard, a major breach of the show's rules and something every contestant knows – you must not order more materials than you need each week.

While Grant insisted it was an accident, Dan was ropable, saying he'd have to chat to Scotty and figure out a consequence for the cheating. Dan tells Grant that he "looks at authority like it's nothing".

"If that's the case, if we're going to be punished, do you mind if we go for a wander and see who has more," Grant responded, trying to throw the other teams under the bus.

"That's my job, I want you to go back inside, mate," Dan hit back.

After discovering that Kristian has also over-ordered, Dan told him, "There's going to be consequences next week," also saying that another contestant told him to check on the other teams.

"Ahhh, little cheeky dogs," Kristian responded.

"Why do we always get painted as the bad guys?" Grant later asked the cameras, and Courtney responded with a smile, "Because we are!"

The Block fans slam 'disgraceful' contestants

The Block fans took to social media to slam Kristian and Grant, with one Facebook user writing, "BS it was accidental. They are cheaters."

"That argument was totally disgraceful," another said. "NEVER argue with the foreman, he is the site boss. What he says goes, no matter what. Any other work site and Grant would have been thrown off. But he knew that and just kept going. Even I would know how many sheets would be required to gib a room. This site needs (needed) more regulators to oversee the cheating."

"So many people with crappy attitudes on the show this year," a third said. "Worst season ever."

"It’s bad enough that he is disrespectful to authority, but lying to authority when you know you're in the wrong is a totally different level of stupid," someone else said.

"I think points should be removed, that would hit him hardest, plus a time restriction too, after all, he has gained time by not going to the challenge and extra time on top because he over ordered the Gyprock sheets, therefore saving time waiting for delivery for the next room," another said.

"Yes and make them wait an extra day to start sheeting so they're a day behind the other houses. If they order early, they should start late," someone else added.
