Following the Week 3 room reveal, The Block 2025 cast piled into Sonny and Alicia‘s caravan for a debrief and team dinner, but the most recent winners Han and Cam were the only team that didn’t show face.
Some viewers took to social media to call the women out for “isolating” themselves, with one Reddit user questioning whether it was “strategic to keep everything to themselves”.
“I’d lean more towards they’re just snobby myself with how they’ve been acting,” another responded.
However, Can told Chattr that they simply didn’t see the invite until Han was already asleep, and explained that they had another obstacle to navigate that the other teams didn’t face.
“Han was still recovering, and we felt it was best to take the evening to regroup, align on our ideas for the week, and get some rest. We were sad to miss it, but by the time we got the invite, Han was already asleep,” she explained.
What Han and Can spent their evenings doing rather than hanging out with the cast
Can stressed that missing the dinner wasn’t a strategic move, pointing out that they didn’t have a builder on their team.
“What viewers may not realise is that Ben wasn’t a builder, he was a chippy, even though they are calling him a ‘builder’ for the purpose of the show.
“Before we went on the show, production told us ‘You don’t need a builder, you just need a good chippy.’ So, I ended up being the builder and stepping into the role of managing the build, trades, making calls, placing orders, and making countless daily decisions.”
Can said that for that reason, they need to use any spare time they have to make plans for their upcoming renovations.
“Our situation was very different from the other teams. In the first six weeks, evenings were our only chance to plan and organise trades, finalise project management tasks, and work through design decisions together. We were always first on site when it opened and often the last to leave, with Nine In Six sending us home most nights,” she explained.
“Daytime was non-stop: being on the tools, driving for supplies, making and taking calls, managing trades, filming, competing in challenges, meeting with agents and suppliers, and preparing for future weeks. There was never enough time during the day, so those evenings became the only window to regroup, plan, and keep the build moving forward.”
Do Han and Can get along with the rest of The Block cast?
While viewers saw Brittany and Taz and Mat and Robby say during Episode 21 that they didn’t have much to do with Han and Can, the women told Chattr that they were on good terms with the entire cast.
“We genuinely got along with everyone and see the cast as a little family,” they said.
Can said that while their relationship with the other teams might seem like it’s on shaky grounds at the moment, everyone built a strong friendship by the end of the season.
“We even stayed together in an Airbnb after filming and got matching tattoos at the launch! Later in the season, we became especially close with Sonny and Leesh. We supported each other through the highs and lows and built a bond based on genuine care.”
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
