The Block 2026 Auction Day LIVE: Every moment as all five homes go under the hammer in Mount Eliza

Our Blockheads are here and looking ready for a night of nerves, tears, screams, and hopefully thousands of dollars in the bank.

Just look at those outfits – not a high-vis in sight! It’s quite unnerving, actually.

You know it’s nearly time for auction when Scotty and Shelley are spotted in their glad rags, ready and raring to go.

Shelley is a vision in blue, and Scotty is rocking a green velvet blazer (which we swear we’ve seen at a previous auction – it must be lucky – and my goodness, don’t they scrub up well.

We’ll get to see our first look at the teams very soon.

We’ve got a little sneak peek of tonight’s episode – and yes, Lisa and Rosco have welcomed their second son, baby Jude Ross Wilson, and are bringing him to The Block auction just a week after giving birth!

We’re sure Scott Cam is spewing they haven’t named him Scott Junior.

“I think I just found the calmest person on The Block with no idea what’s been going on for the last nine months,” Block godmother Shelley Craft says.

Lisa already feels like she’s won the lottery with baby Jude, but we bet a big win tonight would still be nice!

We managed to grab Scotty amid the chaos of Auction Day, and he revealed it’s House 4 – Courtney and Sev – who have the most registered bidders ahead of the homes going under the hammer.

Potential buyers must register their intentions with the listing agents beforehand before bidding, and Scotty thinks it's the duo's secret weapon - their mammoth wine cellar - that's sparked a lot of interest.

"[The wine cellar] might be a very important factor in that," he says.

Cheers, Scotty!

It’s been a cracker of a season, hasn’t it? If you need a reminder of what all five of our Mount Eliza homes look like, we’ve got you covered.

Ahh, Dan and Dani. The beloved Block legends themselves have been giving us their brutal opinions all season, but when it came to choosing a winner, Dan made a call that left his wife – and franky, us a little bit – gobsmacked.

They also chose their chumps of the season, and oh... it’s just so good, you have to see it.

Do you agree with them? Are they way off? Only time will tell.

Things are a little bit different on The Block this year, as we already know the reserve prices of all five of the homes following a new legislation in Victoria.

This means potential buyers who are considering registering to attend the auctions have a clear idea of what price point these houses are set to sell for. 

Shelley Craft revealed the news on Today, confirming EVERY house would have the SAME reserve of $3.45 million, with a sale guideline of $3.6 million to $3.9 million.

That is, apart from Rick and Tayla in House 5, who won Week 12 and the prize of $50,000 knocked off their reserve.

Many houses had drastically different reserves based on size in years prior, so hopefully the Blockheads are chuffed with this – then again, probably not.

We’ll find out their reaction later... and, of course, the all-important AUCTION ORDER!

Our fearless Block leader Scotty Cam lives and breathes Auction Day, and he spoke this morning live on-site from Mount Eliza.

He said the Blockheads were “absolutely” nervous about their homes going under the hammer, given the unprecedented new reserve price laws in Victoria, and the dire clearance rates.

“With the way the market is in Victoria, 50 per cent clearance rates in the last couple of weeks, the new laws that have come out where you’ve got to reveal the reserve price – which no one really knows how that’s going to affect an auction, the vendor or the buyer,” he said on Today.

He promised it’s gonna be a rollercoaster of an evening. And oh, we bet it is.
