Drama, Romance, and Controversy: The Block Season 20 Wrap-Up
The 2024 season of The Block delivered everything fans have come to expect—stunning homes, record-breaking auctions, and enough drama to keep the internet buzzing long after the final hammer fell. From flirtatious scandals and explosive walkouts to heartfelt celebrations, Season 20 had it all.
Foreman Keith Schleiger Opens Up About His Exit
One of the season’s most talked-about moments was the departure of long-time foreman Keith Schleiger. Initially citing the difficulty of balancing a two-hour commute to Phillip Island with family life, Keith later revealed more about his decision on the Your Haus & Home podcast in December.
“Imagine being a builder and having contestants with no clue about construction telling you to get stuffed,” Keith said. “We’re building beautiful homes, and I couldn’t understand why they would argue with me.”
Known for his no-nonsense demeanor on the show, Keith admitted he often appeared “grumpy” but defended his actions. “I had some d**khead giving me grief, and it wasn’t warranted. If I’m a foreman, you follow my instructions—no ifs or buts.”
Fans now speculate that the beloved foreman won’t return for the 2025 season, marking the end of an era for the series.
Jesse and Paige’s Romantic Paris Elopement
Amidst the drama, a heartwarming moment emerged. Fan favorites Jesse and Paige, who exited the competition under tense circumstances, surprised everyone by eloping in Paris this November.
The couple, who had postponed their wedding plans after leaving the show, shared a stunning photo from their intimate ceremony, simply captioned, “Husband and wife.” The image quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments with congratulations.
A Season to Remember
Between allegations of a “rigged” auction day, behind-the-scenes tensions, and the romantic highs of Jesse and Paige’s nuptials, Season 20 of The Block will undoubtedly go down as one of the most memorable in the show’s history. While the cameras have stopped rolling, the drama—and the gossip—shows no signs of slowing down.
Stay tuned as fans await news on what’s next for the iconic series in 2025.
