The Block

IT was the final call for The Block All-Stars as the four Bondi semis went under the hammer last night.

Held at each of the renovated-for-TV heritage houses in Tasman St, the individual auctions drew a crowd of curious invited guests and a number of serious bidders - all sworn to secrecy by Channel 9. Several hours of carefully orchestrated auctioneering, interviews and on-camera reactions from the contestants will be edited down to a two-hour TV package to air tonight at 7pm.

As of lunchtime yesterday, betting agency Sportsbet had mum and dad team Phil and Amity as odds-on favourites with $1.50 to win the series.

Before the hammer fell, one of the selling agents for the couple, Brad Caldwell-Eyles of 1st City Realty, said their popularity was exciting.

"I'm pretty pumped but nervous," he said. "When the first episode aired back in February they were the least favourite couple at about $5.50.

"We've been closely watching social media and Sportsbet. It seems half the country see them as favourites, but they're obviously not the buyers."
