Auction day on The Block has gone off with a bang.<\/p>\n

The Blockheads gathered in the Victorian town of Daylesford with all the contestants arriving to the site on Saturday.<\/p>\n

All five teams were onsite for their auctions, alongside Shelley Craft, Scott Cam and Marty Fox.<\/p>\n

It looked to be an exciting – and emotional – day, as the five teams nervously put their houses up for sale, hoping to walk away with a tidy profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But one duo appeared very emotional as they left their property after the bidding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Britt and her partner Taz embraced one another and appeared to break down in tears after the auction.<\/p>\n

Britt looked glamorous for auction day in a long sparkly gold dress as she walked into her property ahead of the bidding.<\/p>\n

They were also joined by\u00a0Emma and Ben, who couldn’t wipe the smile off their faces as they walked alongside one another.<\/p>\n

Emma left little to the imagination in a revealing backless dress as she waved to fans.<\/p>\n

Matt and Robby also looked dapper and appeared nervous as they waited for the final results.<\/p>\n

Han and Can as well as\u00a0Sonny and Alicia were also spotted onsite and held umbrellas as they walked to their homes.<\/p>\n

Viewers hoping for a surprise appearance from Adrian Portelli at the anticipated Block finale are set to be disappointed.<\/p>\n

While hopeful bidders converged on the site in the rural Victorian town, Adrian was more than 800 kilometres away, touching down in Sydney in his private jet.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the controversial Block bidder said he would not return, fuelling speculation that the network had shown him the door.<\/p>\n

Scott Cam opened up about rumours surrounding Adrian being banned from the show earlier this month.<\/p>\n

‘We didn’t ban him; that’s something he [Adrian] said,’ Scott announced on Fox 101.9’s Fifi, Fev and Nick breakfast show.<\/p>\n

Scott continued: ‘It’s a public auction, anyone can turn up, we just kindly said, “What do you reckon\u2026 you had a good run on the auctions, why don’t we leave it to some families to try and buy the houses”.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of the anticipated auction, Block stars gave their thoughts on Adrian’s auction absence to Daily Mail and Nine’s recent Upfronts event.<\/p>\n

Ben and Emma appeared to have differing opinions on the situation, with Ben saying: ‘I don’t think he’s coming, which is a shame for everyone.’<\/p>\n

Emma, however, had a different take, interjecting with: ‘I think it’s great \u2013 it opens up the door for others.’<\/p>\n

It was a similar sentiment shared by Robby and Mat, who welcomed a more open auction field.<\/p>\n

\"Han <\/p>\n

Han and Can put on stylish displays in power suits as they covered themselves from the rain with an umbrella<\/p>\n

\"It <\/p>\n

Not even the dreary weather conditions could dampen the mood of the excited contestants<\/p>\n

He made TV history in 2024 when he purchased all five Phillip Island properties on the renovation show for more than $15 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It opens the door for bigger and better players,’ Mat said.<\/p>\n

Sonny and Alicia, meanwhile, took a more laissez-faire approach to the situation.<\/p>\n

‘They’ve just asked to keep it open for everybody,’ Alicia said.<\/p>\n

‘He’ll do whatever he wants and I’m sure he’d be welcomed if he came.’<\/p>\n

Sonny added: ‘If he was to show up and buy someone’s house, so be it.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Auction day on The Block has gone off with a bang.
