The former Blockheads have their say

When you’re in the thick of competition, it can be hard to have a level head about your design choices. From blue bedroom walls to a Murphy door that leads to the primary suite, this season wasn’t short on risky moves – and a few missteps! Luckily, veteran contestants Foreman Dan and Blockhead Dani are back to lend their expert eyes. Drawing on their years of experience, they’ve cast their votes on who they believe will take home the illustrious top spot at auction day and be crowned the winners of The Block 2025.

Do you agree with their judgements? Will the bidders? Only time will tell.

Who will lose The Block 2025 auction?

There’s no easy way to say it – where there are winners, there have to be losers, but thankfully we don’t have to make that call ourselves. We’ll leave that unenviable task up to Dan and Dani who are surprisingly in agreement in their pick for who’ll fare the worst at auction: House 2 Han and Can.

“I think having a flat roof is a disadvantage, I don’t think their inside matches their garden, and I think their backyard wasn’t as good as everyone else’s,” Dan says.

“I have to agree,” says Dani “I think theirs is something I would potentially see in a city versus in Daylesford.”

“Despite so much of the inside being really well done – some weeks, they were in a league of their own – but we do have to consider where we are and what people might want out of either a holiday home or a primary residence. I think maybe they might have missed the mark a little bit there.” Ouch!

Who will win The Block 2025 auction?

And as for the winners, who would have thought, they’re in agreement again! The house Dan and Dani believe will win The Block auctions for 2025: House 5 Robby and Mat.

“There are elements that I don’t love necessarily – their kitchen is not my favourite, their living room is not my favourite – but I think the way that property presents when you first come in it is going to hook people,” says Dani. “People are going to come back for more and more.

“They’re going to be able to imagine themselves in that house – that’s whats going to get them across the line.”

“I agree,” says Dan. “I also think their positioning of their house – they’re furthest away from the main road – their landscaping, and the wine cellar! It’s just so Daylesford. You want your own wine cellar to bring your friends for a weekend.”
