The Block’s highly anticipated Season 21 finale is shrouded in controversy, with insiders claiming Network Nine has already crowned House One’s Emma and Ben as winners. Despite promises of a nail-biting auction, sources allege the high school sweethearts are receiving preferential treatment to secure victory.

Anonymous contestants claim the couple’s “nice guy” image aligns with Nine’s family-friendly rebrand, making them the network’s preferred champions. “It’s obvious they’re being set up for a fairy-tale win,” a cast member told Daily Mail, comparing their trajectory to past winners like Steph and Gian (The Block: Hampton East) and Maddie and Charlotte (Phillip Island), who reportedly received similar advantages.

Network Nine denies rigging claims, stating, “All auctions comply with legal standards and Consumer Affairs oversight.” Yet frustration brews among other contestants, who argue Emma and Ben coasted through the competition while rivals like Robbie and Matt (SA), Han and Can (WA), and fan favorites Sonny and Alicia (QLD) delivered drama and high-stakes moments. “They’ve bled for this show,” an insider said. “Now House One’s cruising to the finish line.”

Fans seem to agree. Social media buzz criticizes Emma and Ben’s screen time as “toilet-break material,” with viewers arguing more dynamic teams deserve the win. Still, insiders hint Nine’s editing and auction strategies favor the Melbourne couple, sparking accusations of unfairness.

Tensions are reportedly explosive behind the scenes. “If this rumor’s true, it’ll be the most controversial win in Block history,” a source revealed. Meanwhile, a Season 18 alum dismissed the drama as jealousy: “The ‘green-eyed monster’ always emerges near the end.”

With the finale looming, all eyes are on whether House One’s alleged favoritism will overshadow the competition—or if the auction delivers a genuine surprise.
