The Block's Paige and Jesse reveal they'd compete again on one condition

The Block’s Jesse has revealed he would be open to competing on the reality show again after he and his fiancée Paige made the emotional decision to quit this season. The controversial couple chose to put their mental health first and fly back to WA, becoming the first team in the show’s history to exit midway through filming.

While it’s since been confirmed that Jesse and Paige will return to Phillip Island in the final week of the competition, the couple have now spilled on whether they’d ever return to the series in an official capacity. Speaking exclusively to Yahoo Lifestyle, Jesse admits he would definitely be open to giving the experience another try.

“I think now that I understand behind the scenes a lot more, I would do it again,” he shares.

Paige argues that they would “have an unfair advantage” if they competed for a second time because they would “know too much”, however, Jesse points out that there have been plenty of All Stars seasons in the past.

“That's why the All Stars have always done well. But the thing is, we wouldn’t be an All Star team,” he laughs. “Maybe a wildcard.

“I’d go back, but I’d definitely do things a lot differently. I'd want to do it with Paige again, but they'd have to know that there are some rules in place from our side. Some boundaries.”

Paige, on the other hand, says she’s unsure whether she’d ever want to put herself back in that situation.

“Jury’s still out for me,” she remarks. “We’d have some conversations”.

“If they came and asked us back, we’d definitely take it into consideration,” Jesse says, before adding, “But I don’t think that’ll happen”.

How Paige and Jesse adjusted to life after The Block

Paige and Jesse reveal they both had “very different” approaches when readjusting to life after The Block following their exit. While Paige says she found it “really refreshing to step back”, Jesse admits he stayed in touch with their builder Zak and received regular updates on what was happening.

“I definitely thought about The Block every day, like ‘I wonder what we’d be doing today?’,” he recalls. “And then speaking to Zak as well like, ‘We would’ve done this, we would’ve done that’.

“I think it was my way of coping with moving on, just still having some part in it and being involved. It's crazy over there. You don't even see it on TV how hectic The Block is. You don't have time for anything.”

“We did 100 per cent reach out and speak to everyone on the cast, but we just knew how busy it was and how you never looked at your phone and you missed replying to people, so we just got in little conversations when we could,” Paige adds.

Despite being keen to return in 2025, Jesse asserts that he has “absolutely no regret” about quitting The Block.

“No regret at all. It was the best decision by far,” he declares. “We both put each other's feelings into consideration. We knew that I probably wanted to stay more, and we threw it out there, but it's not right.

“We came into this together, we did this together. It's not going to be the same without Paige, it’s not gonna be the same without me. The best thing for us is to be together, and by far it was hands down.”
