“This season of The Block has seen some truly controversial moments and by encouraging judges and contestants to tweet along to each episode Channel Nine has made this series of The Block one of the most engaging yet,” Danny Keens, Director of Media Partnerships, Twitter Australia, told news.com.au.

“The public really began to tweet their support for Alisa and Lysandra after their controversial low score during the Bathroom Reveals. Despite a very heated meltdown onscreen, Alisa and Lysandra took to Twitter that night to pledge to work harder the following week and regain their title as “The Bathroom Queens.”

“Following their win in the Kitchen reveals the following week we’ve seen them edge ahead of their closest competition — Brad and Dale — and stay there as we go into the Grand Final Auctions.”
