The Block is back for 2025, and for the first time ever, this season’s Blockheads will be building houses from scratch.
Season 21 will take place in the idyllic country tourist town of Daylesford, Victoria. The teams will be tasked with building houses with exactly the same layout and size as the frames that are already completed when they arrive.
It’s a tall order and among the toughest tasks that any Blockheads have been given before. So, let’s meet the duos who are bravely rising to the challenge!
Sonny and Alicia
Married couple Sonny and Alicia are repping the Gold Coast this season. Both in their early 40s, Sonny is a plumber and Alicia is a dental practice manager. This isn’t their first attempt to join The Block either. “I was really upset last year that we just missed out, so when we got the call to say we were in, it was an amazing feeling,” Alicia said.
Robby and Mat
Robby and Mat have been besties and business owners for over a decade. Apparently, it was Robby’s idea to apply for The Block while Mat was in Bali celebrating his 40th birthday. The pair are inseparable. “We are just two best mates, a hairdresser and a barber, gay and straight,” says Robby.
Han and Can
Perth couple Han and Can, aka Handy-can and Can-Do-Can, are rearing and ready to go. Han (Hannah) is a geologist, and her girlfriend, Can (Candice), is a social media analyst. Both have always wanted to go on The Block, but couldn’t find the right person to go on it with…until they found each other!
Britt and Taz
Married with kids and hailing from Newman, Western Australia, Britt and Taz are a force to be reckoned with. Taz, whose full name is Taran, is a proud Aboriginal man from the Tharawal/Dharawal Peoples. And the couple have long-held ambitions of competing on The Block.
Emma and Ben
Lastly, married high school sweethearts Emma and Ben are a multi-talented pair. Emma is a high school woodwork teacher turned one of Australia’s best pole dancers. Moreover, her husband Ben is an engineer and firefighter with a flair for stand-up comedy.
What a fabulous group. We can’t wait, and we don’t have to wait much longer!
The Block Season 21 premieres on Sunday, July 27 at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
