Brutal Block ultimatum: ‘I’m taking half your money and leaving’

Kylie is back on The Block – but she’s “officially single” and has issued a brutal ultimatum to her husband Brad about their future.

Kylie is officially back on The Block, days after bailing on the show and fleeing home to Cairns amid a devastating bust-up with her husband … but her return certainly doesn’t mean they’re back together.

Kylie returned to show barely speaking to husband Brad after he made flirty comments to fellow contestant Mimi during a late-night, alcohol-fuelled encounter.

And in a brutal showdown caught on camera on Wednesday’s episode, Kylie told her husband in no uncertain terms why she’d returned to finish the season.

“If I gave up, we’d leave with nothing. So, whatever we get, even if it’s $10k, I’m taking f**king half of what you get and I’m leaving your arse,” she told him.

“You can keep the house and I’m f**king off. I don’t even know If I’m staying in Cairns to be honest; there’s nothing there for me anymore.”

The couple have been married for seven years and are parents to four young children.

The vibes are not great in house 4.

Viewers still haven’t been given all the details about exactly what Brad said to Mimi. While Brad himself admitted that he made some “pretty inappropriate comments”, Mimi later said that she was “personally comfortable” with what had been said.

In an emotional phone call to her mother, Kylie shared one of the comments she’d overheard: her husband telling Mimi he’d want to subscribe if she had an OnlyFans account.

In Wednesday’s episode, Kylie told her husband why hearing a comment like that had cut her so deep.

“My biggest problem? You have never flirted with me like that in our entire relationship. So you can only imagine how that makes me feel. Why are you talking to her about following her OnlyFans?”

Kylie revealed she’d already voiced concerns about Mimi to Brad.

Mimi says she “felt comfortable” with the conversation.

She also said that during that same night, Brad and Mimi had disappeared into the house together “for ages … so in my mind, I feel like something happened.”

“My biggest thing was, I’d already voiced my concerns to you about her and how she felt about you. You’ve just completely gone with it and annihilated our entire relationship,” she told him.

Kylie finished the dressing down with a brutal proclamation: While they will still work together to finish the season, they are officially separated.

“Just me talking to you does not mean I’m OK, just so you know. This is us being separated. We’re officially single people,” she said.

Elsewhere in Wednesday’s episode, Kylie kept her distance from the “other woman” in this saga when contestants assembled on the site for a meeting – her first time seeing everyone since fleeing the show.

Kristian told wife Mimi to go and break the ice with Kylie but she refused: “I have anxiety. If I get rejected, it will break my heart,” she said. The two had been close before this flirting controversy exploded.

Another shot showed just how tense things are on The Block, with Brad stood by himself far away from the rest of the contestants:

It’s all making for a tense end to what’s been a very dramatic season of The Block.

Fellow contestants Jesse and Paige suddenly quit the show five weeks in, after escalating tensions between them.

The engaged twenty-something couple told their fellow contestants as they left that they needed to put their relationship first, but recently came a sad update: They’ve now called off their wedding.

Amid these contestant walkouts, even some tradies have had enough: This season has seen multiple tradies, builders and their teams either get fired or quit on camera.

The Block auction day is expected to take place on Saturday November 9, with the season finale to come the following evening on Nine.
