Week two of The Block<\/a> 2026 starts with an apology \u2013 from host Scott Cam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The $20,000 figure he said Chantel and Wyatt<\/a> spent last week was wrong, which explains their confusion at the end of last night\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

They feel like they\u2019ve been stitched up on purpose and don\u2019t want any part of it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the other four teams meet with Scotty<\/a> and Alice Stolz for the results of the House Decider<\/a>, where the homes are locked in without any argy-bargy at all:<\/p>\n

House 1: Adam and JoleneHouse 2: Chantel and WyattHouse 3: Lisa and RoscoHouse 4: Courtney and SevHouse 5: Rick and Tayla<\/p>\n

Four of the teams take their first chance to suss out their rivals\u2019 work thanks to Open for Inspections, while members of production are on the hunt for Chantel and Wyatt.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s time to get stuck in: it\u2019s Family Bathroom week, and we are saying goodbye to a special Block friend.<\/p>\n

Waterproof Wednesday is no more, instead replaced with a diabolical newbie: Waterproof Tuesday. No pressure.<\/p>\n

To add to the fun, a few of the teams are trying to get big changes signed off.<\/p>\n

Multiple teams want to remove their bathroom\u2019s external door and replace it with a window or large vertical glass panel, and Courtney and Sev<\/a> would like to change the shape of their skylight, even though this year\u2019s rules clearly state you cannot do that.<\/p>\n

Rules schmules, because with enough pestering they all get the sign-off.<\/p>\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

Just wear \u2019em down until they say yes.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chantel and Wyatt are still MIA.<\/p>\n

They are adamant they want to quit, telling show psychologist Simon they want an apology from Scotty and executive producer Julian Cress.<\/p>\n

They are business owners and think the insinuation that they\u2019re bad at budgeting or had $10,000 \u201cdisappear\u201d will have lasting consequences on their careers.<\/p>\n

And after last week\u2019s painting chippy debacle, Wyatt doesn\u2019t believe that this was a simple mistake.<\/p>\n

They meet with Scotty and Julian at the share house.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely sorry for what\u2019s happened,\u201d Scotty says. \u201cIt 1000 per cent was not deliberate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian explains the show\u2019s accounting software counted their builder\u2019s invoice twice, a mistake that\u2019s never happened before, and wasn\u2019t caught until this morning.<\/p>\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

Big oops.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Chantel and Wyatt are upset that this wasn\u2019t cleared up immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a small-business owner, I pride myself on integrity, I pride myself on being a good human,\u201d Wyatt says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re making me look like a piece of s–t, Scotty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

He\u2019s mad!\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

The host says he\u2019d hate for them to leave the show because of a mistake production made \u2013 and he believes that this conversation shows that their integrity is very much intact.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t overspend, you didn\u2019t muck up your books, we did, and we\u2019re telling Australia that right now,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The Blockheads do think the apology is very sincere.<\/p>\n

Wyatt still wants to walk, but Chantel has come around \u2013 and he\u2019s open to sticking it out for her and the kids.<\/p>\n

They ask for the afternoon to chat it out and decide.<\/p>\n

After that heated discussion, Scotty hightales it to Reece to give Tayla<\/a> an extended monologue about the merits of a smart toilet.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll be honest, I\u2019m sold.<\/p>\n

Then he\u2019s off for a fancy meal and night away with winners Courtney and Sev \u2013 geez, big day for the host!<\/p>\n

Back at the share house, they\u2019ve rebranded the chumps meal as family dinner.<\/p>\n

Despite the day they\u2019ve had, Chantel and Wyatt are in good spirits.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re happy to report they\u2019ve decided to stay.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got a lot of work to do, but the others are adamant they aren\u2019t actually that behind because no one got any work done today.<\/p>\n

Lovely.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, well, for us \u2013 it looks like that makes for an especially chaotic Tuesday episode.<\/p>\n

Foreman Dan\u2019s angry, one team has no tradies and uhhhh, there\u2019s water dripping out of House 1\u2019s lights.
