“This will potentially set the others off on another hissy fit.”

Britt and Taz have continued their winning streak on The Block, after winning the Bake Off challenge in the most recent episode, with their Tim Tam cinnamon scrolls (or doughnuts, depending on how you looked at them) winning over the hearts and taste buds of the Country Women’s Association judges.

If you’re a little confused, yes, The Block contestants had to take a break from planning and building houses to bake a sweet treat that featured an Arnotts biscuit, with the winner earning $10,000. The challenge aimed to give the teams a break from the renovations and a chance to use their brand new kitchens.

With some formidable judges ahead of them, Britt and Taz may not have necessarily had the best-looking sweet treat on arrival, but the taste of their Tim Tam Smash scrolls won over the three judges Lorraine, Charlotte and Peta.

The Block’s Britt and Taz face more wrath from co-stars

While the CWA ladies were left satisfied, Britt and Taz’s co-stars were less than happy for the pair taking out another challenge, after a string of successes this week. Notably, no one clapped or congratulated them and, well, their former BFFs Sonny and Alicia looked less than impressed, something fans quickly picked up on.

While their co-stars may not have been happy for Britt and Taz, The Block fans certainly were.

“So glad they won. This will potentially set the others off on another hissy fit,” one person commented on a Facebook thread on a Block fanpage, with another fan agreeing, “Did you see the other contestants’ faces? Priceless.”

“How pissed off did Alicia look,” another said, with others also pointing out she looked “sour”.

Some fans couldn’t help but laugh at the commentary from the three judges when it came to Alicia’s lemon-slice, with Lorraine savagely saying it didn’t need “much talent” to make it.

“The judging was gold,” one person commended.

“I still keep giggling about ‘making a lemon slice doesn’t require much talent’ quote,” another said, with someone agreeing, “Best quote of the season.”

And Blockheads were a bit baffled by the whole baking competition in general. “Imagine a baking show that has a segment on building a house. ‘Okay, Nana, now here’s a bonus round, so let’s start installing roof insulation,” one person joked on Reddit.

What is going on between The Block’s Taz and Britt and their co-stars?

There’s been some tense moments for Britt and Taz with their co-stars. Image: Nine
Alicia and Britt bonded early in the season, but cracks started to show after Britt left Alicia out of a shopping trip and struck up a friendship with 2023 winner Steph Ottavio. Things then reached a boiling point earlier this week, when Britt and Taz got a head start on their deck, prompting Sonny and Alicia to call a Body Corp meeting to confront them.

The Body Corp debate got messy, and the two couples stayed behind to hash it out. While Sonny apologised for making snide comments about Britt and Taz’s back-of-house win, Alicia denied making any digs.

When asked by Chattr where their relationship stood with Sonny and Alicia now, Britt and Taz’s answer didn’t seem like there was any love lost between the teams.

“We’re all civil. We’re all adults,” Taz explained, adding that there wasn’t any outright animosity. “Everyone is civil, but from The Block, and even extending on, we just sort of stay in our own lane.”

When asked about the lack of support from their co-stars, the couple credited their strong relationship for getting them through the trying times.

“That’s one of the best things to come out of The Block, just how good our relationship was during and also after, because we just could handle anything,” Taz said.

“But, we were never out to get anyone or to stitch people up. We were just there to build this bloody house, and hopefully set the kids up afterwards. So the fact that our relationship stood this test quite easily, like, we didn’t fight, we just got on with it.”
