The Block 2025‘s first room reveal is upon us, and it gives viewers a look at the potential of this year’s block heads.
During The Block 2025 premiere, the contestants were given a budget of $250,000 for their renovation. If they win challenges and the weekly room reveals, they have the potential to earn extra cash and furnishing vouchers.
Unlike some recent years, they were also given the entire renovation schedule, with suggested budgets for each room.
In another new twist, every house this year is exactly the same in size and layout, so it will be up to the contestants to show their creativity and initiative in styling and make their choices really stand out.
Each week the contestants’ rooms are revealed and judges Shaynna Blaze, Marty Fox and Darren Palmer score them out of 10, with the winning room receiving a $10,000 cash injection into their budget.
