With good reason as it turns out, because the accusation was a result of a computer inputting error which saw their builder\u2019s invoice put into the system twice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">As the other teams choose their houses \u2013 a process which somehow ends up with every team happy, including the losers Rick and Tayla \u2013 Wyatt and Chantel are telling their builders to pack up and go home as they\u2019re quitting the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Refusing to speak to anyone on the production they instead make accusations via the show\u2019s on-site psychologist, who is acting as a go-between, that the error was made on purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">RELATED<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate.com.au\/news\/the-block-star-amity-drys-real-estate-career-transformation\/?campaignType=external&amp;campaignChannel=syndication&amp;campaignName=ncacont&amp;campaignContent=&amp;campaignSource=newscomau&amp;campaignPlacement=realestatemodule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">: Block star\u2019s real estate career transformation<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate.com.au\/news\/block-stars-sonny-and-alicia-aplin-list-renovated-home\/?campaignType=external&amp;campaignChannel=syndication&amp;campaignName=ncacont&amp;campaignContent=&amp;campaignSource=newscomau&amp;campaignPlacement=realestatemodule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Block stars Sonny and Alicia list their home<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate.com.au\/news\/radical-spinoff-pitched-to-revamp-the-block\/?campaignType=external&amp;campaignChannel=syndication&amp;campaignName=ncacont&amp;campaignContent=&amp;campaignSource=herald_sun&amp;campaignPlacement=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Block star backs radical show reboot<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"styles__StyledImage-sc-17n6uwl-1 hlcJVa size-full wp-post-1153246 wp-image-1153241\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1153241\" data-capiid=\"5f691ed690606687436b7d9ac93da817\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 1280 720&quot;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"  alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1153241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chantel and Wyatt are determined to leave The Block.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">The cynical among us might wonder if this outsized reaction to an accounting error might be a way of making last week\u2019s cheating scandal \u2013 in which Wyatt and Chantel were caught redhanded paying their carpenter to paint in a breach of perhaps the best known Block rule of all \u2013 go away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">In any case, Wyatt and Chantel seem set on their decision to leave the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">\u201cI said to Wyatt it feels like everyone is gaslighting me, everyone is in on it and I don\u2019t feel I want to continue,\u201d Chantel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">\u201cWe feel most of the people on the production are trying to twist things and make us look bad,\u201d Wyatt added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">He tells Simon he and Chantel will accept nothing other than an admission the accounting error was not in fact an error but a deliberate attempt to humiliate them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">\u201cIt was not a mistake.

Courtney and Sev are ditching two square skylights for a rectangular one. Carl the Velux skylight rep had told foreman Dan that were would be no skylight changes tolerated this season, but he caves at the first request, which is either a testament to Courtney\u2019s determination or Carl\u2019s lack of spine in the face of a determined woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Other teams are removing doors which open from their bathrooms to the side of the house or deleting internal doors and windows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">In short, everyone is creating extra work in a week that\u2019s going to be a nightmare to finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">MISSED AN EPISODE?
