Meet This Year's Contestants
Mitch & Mark
Ages: 58 and 59
Professions: Entrepreneurs
From: Sydney
Mitch and Mark first stole Australia’s hearts in 2019, taking home $384,000 in prize money after working on The Oslo in St Kilda.
Since their original stint on The Block, the glamorous grandads have renovated their own Northern Beaches home as well as developed their own brand.
With plenty of experience under their tool belts, we can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve this season!
Ronnie & Georgia

We first met Ronnie and Georgia in 2017, with the couple scoring five room reveal wins throughout the series set in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick.
Today, they renovate and flip houses for a living, making them the most experienced contestants on Fans vs Faves. Ronnie has even worked as a real estate agent in the past, giving the couple a competitive edge.
Our expectations are certainly high for this power couple!
Josh & Luke
Ages: 27
Professions: Ex-Love Island contestants
From: Sydney
Love Island Australia’s Josh and Luke are not only the youngest contestants this year, but also the least experienced when it comes to renovating. The celebrity twins vow that this won’t hold them back, however, as they’re prepared to put in plenty of hard work.
On top of their enthusiasm and spirit, the boys have a card up their sleeves with Josh's financial background. Perhaps this is what will let them stay on budget and ahead of the competition?
Tanya & Vito

Professions: Makeup artist and business owner
From: Melbourne
Family-focused Tanya and Vito are ready to blitz the competition this year. Vito runs his own window furnishing business and Tanya has a background in fine arts, making the couple a force to be reckoned with.
