The Block is an Australian reality television series broadcast on the Nine Network. The series follows four or, more recently, five couples as they compete against each other to renovate houses and sell them at auction for the highest price.
Underdogs Chantelle Ford and Steve O'Donnell have won series eight of The Block with the biggest sale in the show's history, pocketing $736,000 in prize money after their apartment sold for $2.47 million.
Their apartment fetched the biggest sale price of the four apartments that were auctioned at Dux House in Albert Park, selling for $636,000 over the reserve, which was set at $1,834,000. The pair won an additional $100,00 for making the biggest profit.
