Episode 15 of The Block 2025 saw an all-mighty showdown between Han and Foreman Dan over changed floor plans, with Han calling it “one of the most challenging” days she had on the show.
Not only did Han and Can lose their chippy, but Foreman Dan informed them that their laundry had a major design issue, sparking a heated clash with Han.
During an interview with Chattr, Han said that hearing the news about their unapproved floor plan “on such a tough day was difficult to process”.
“Everything that could go wrong seemed to, and I spent the entire day juggling over 100 calls and messages, working on the tools, managing trades, and organising supplies, all while under the added pressure of filming,” Han explained.
“When Dan told me the floor plan we’d worked so hard on was now ‘not approved,’ it came as a real shock. We’d spent days consulting with Nine In Six, Freedom, and the on-site trades, including plumbers, electricians, and Dan himself, to make sure it was both functional and a real point of difference for the buyers. It had been approved by both Nine In Six and Freedom,” she continued.
“Later, I learned that the issue was about following the correct approval process, which wasn’t clear to us at the time. Since day one, I’d worked with Nine In Six for approvals and advice, as they acted as the foremen after hours once Dan left site. I hadn’t realised the process was to go to Dan first, then Nine In Six.”
Han added that upon reflection, she understands where Foreman Dan was coming from, and regrets her emotional reaction.
“I now see this as a communication gap, and I told Dan that clearer direction from the start would have helped. I wasn’t proud of my initial reaction, and after taking time to calm down, I sought Dan out to apologise, both for raising my voice and for not following the process. I let him know I respected him, appreciated his support, and would always come to him first in future. That conversation reset things for us, and I made a commitment to respond more calmly and consider all perspectives before reacting.”
Does Han think Foreman Dan has favourites on The Block?
Foreman Dan has struck up an easy rapport with some of The Block 2025 cast, including Taz, after the pair made a bet that ended with Taz plunging into the lake on a freezing day. But while he’s built friendships with some, he’s already clashed with Han and Can multiple times this season.
However, Han told Chattr she doesn’t believe Foreman Dan plays favourites, adding that she and Han have actually formed a great relationship with the long-time Block figure.
“I don’t think Dan has favourites; he was simply doing his job. After that week’s run-in, we had a really positive conversation that gave us a better understanding of each other and built mutual respect,” she explained.
“From that point on, he became an even greater support for me on site as now, all my questions were directed at him, he probably regretted telling me that after all! Haha (Sorry Dan!). We shared plenty of laughs, often bumping into each other at McCafe before pre-start for a friendly chat. He was always helpful, encouraging, and someone I genuinely enjoyed working with.”
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
