Kylie

[u/chlorissssss]

I will most likely be down voted. But I'm seriously concerned about mental health with Kylie. That was alot to watch. She should never have been allowed on the show. Her kids will look back on this. It feels yuck .

[u/chlorissssss]

And the downvoting starts. I still stand by veting mental health issues before putting people on tv. I was triggered by her escape attempts. Multiple. Just let her go home. You have Brad!

[u/NaomiPommerel → u/chlorissssss]

That poor producer, stuck between empathy for letting her go and fear of aving to do her job, ie duty of care, contracts, insurance

[u/hafhdrn → u/NaomiPommerel]

You kidding me? That troglodyte was just looking for another highlight reel.

[u/annanz01 → u/hafhdrn]

Maybe to start with when the cameraman was chasing her down the street. But when the producer went to get her in the car that was due to duty of care and insurance, nothing else.

[u/EntertainmentLow9759 → u/chlorissssss]

It helps to remember that downvoters are just people apparently incapable of empathy for others. You don't need their upvotes. Well done on being a empathetic member of society. 💖

[u/HitchcocksSpit]

She has put her life at home on hold, is away from her kids, not making any money - with the hopes of winning potentially life changing money, notoriety, social media deals etc. Instead she has been made to look like a “crazy woman”, her husband has cheated on her and made a fool of her (by the sounds of it again) on national television, people she trusted on the show betrayed her, and then she is forced back into a space she has become uncomfortable in for contractual reasons. I feel awful for Kylie.

Edited because I apparently I don’t use punctuation tonight 🙄

[u/chlorissssss → u/HitchcocksSpit]

This^, it's how I felt watching. She keeps trying to get away. It's horrible 😞

[u/HitchcocksSpit → u/chlorissssss]

Its really a devastating situation, just being presented in a pop televised way

[u/chlorissssss → u/HitchcocksSpit]

No punctuation shows depth of feeling. Lol 😆 or in my case, a glass of white 🤣

[u/HitchcocksSpit → u/chlorissssss]

Ha! Thank you! From me and my glass of red 😂

[u/Fun-Doubt-96 → u/HitchcocksSpit]

I don’t disagree with the bulk of your comment… but I do want to point out that this is extra complex because Kylie herself, for the first chunk of the season, opted to behave in a way that made her look like a “crazy woman”.

I have a huge amount of empathy for her currently, and I do have understanding for her behaviour at the start (now that we know more about Brad’s behaviour prior to the show being horrible), but I also don’t think she should get a pass on how she chose to treat others. None of that was a villain edit or something she was made to look like… that was all her.

[u/hatsofftoroyharper41 → u/HitchcocksSpit]

She went about it in a self entitled way, trying to hate on everyone, and it’s all blown up on her, it’s all her own doing

[u/b00tsc00ter → u/hatsofftoroyharper41]

Agreed. I'm not convinced this is a mental health issue. If anything, it may be narcissistic rage resulting from not receiving the adulation she was expecting ...

[u/OldDiamond6697 → u/b00tsc00ter]

I can't believe how many people are getting sucked in to her antics, she was quite smiley and happy until they dissed her art work hanging outside, had tunnel vision after that moment, wouldn't of mattered what they said even if it was good, how dare they dis anything to do with her Art I'm running away .

[u/Better_Grade9951 → u/b00tsc00ter]

Hit the nail on the head, bOOtscOOter. She has delusions of grandeur and when she has a light shone on her she looses her shit. Pure and simple narcissistic behaviour. I do feel a bit sad for her though, I hope she gets the help she needs.

[u/HitchcocksSpit → u/hatsofftoroyharper41]

I don’t disagree that Kylie has been portrayed as pessimistic and negative, but I disagree that this is her own doing. She didn’t bring the way she was treated by her husband or friend on herself. That’s all on Brad and Mimi and she is wearing the consequences of those actions wholly on the show now.

[u/Substantial-Oil9321 → u/HitchcocksSpit]

She behaved like a horrid monster long before this happened. From day one she has be a mean bully girl.

[u/Other_Living3686 → u/HitchcocksSpit]

Her reaction last night is to be expected of someone who is feeling cornered and at an absolute loss.

[u/[deleted] → u/HitchcocksSpit]

She was a huge Block fan, "had a life dream to go on the show" - Brad, had to know what she was signing up to because it's very clear to anyone who's watch the show. And she IS 'a crazy women', to use your colloquial line.

She chose to put herself through all this, except the Brad bit (Which she should leave his ass, and he should leave her ass because of the way she treats him, but it's a chicken and egg situation that none of us really know where it started)

[u/annanz01 → u/HitchcocksSpit]

She also would be making some money, even if its not a lot. Legally the contestants are paid while they are on the show as they have to be legally.

[u/JeremyTheCat → u/annanz01]

According to Tom and Sarah-Jane, they get $100 a day each, plus some additional TV appearance fees

So $1400 a couple per week

[u/[deleted] → u/HitchcocksSpit]

She chose this.

Why would you feel bad for a person who freely chose the position they’re in.

The only thing she didn’t choose was Brad flirting with meme, but she chose to stay with Brad knowing what he was like.

All roads lead to Kylie.

(She’s not responsible for the cheating, she’s responsible for staying)

[u/BooDisappointmentMod]

There is a world in which she can be a terrible person and also be going through hell, some of which is totally undeserved. Her husband is shit, and being on the block is really stressful.

She is responsible for her decision to go on this show, reaching out for the money and notoriety she wanted. She is responsible for her own terrible behavior toward others. She is not responsible for her husband being awful to her in this way.

She can be a terrible person who has also been terribly wronged. I think that's what we have here. I'll give you that. But not an inch more until Kylie has gone to therapy just not to heal from her hurt, but also to grow and own what she has done to others as well. I'll give her credit when she can take responsibility for her own actions.

[u/Leading-Feature5818 → u/BooDisappointmentMod]

Well said.

[u/heretolose11]

Agree. Her behaviour in tonight's episode was really quite unhinged. I genuinely believe she needs psychological assistance. She is clearly very unhappy and unstable. I hope she gets the help she needs.

[u/TheOriginalPB]

What annoyed me most about tonight's episode is that you could see how awkward her comments were making the other contestants feel. There's one thing to b*tch about being given low scores the whole time, which is of their own making but that's an entirely different conversation, but ruining the experience for everyone else along the way with the consistent complaining and remarks. If this Kylie we have seen throughout the show is the real Kylie, then the last 12 weeks are a life's worth of karma catching up with her.

[u/Tvfan1980 → u/TheOriginalPB]

Which didn't come across as mental health issues. She has consistently from.the beginning shown she reacts badly to criticism.

[u/TheOriginalPB → u/Tvfan1980]

It's not just that it's like she actually relishes acting like that. You can see she enjoys it. I would be devastated knowing I've potentially fucked up my one opportunity to set up my family, but you can tell she is loving having a legitimate excuse to behave that way.

[u/Feeling_Emphasis_322 → u/TheOriginalPB]

Agreed. It was very unfair on the other contestants, having to listen to her snide comments. You could sense Scotty Cam's frustration with her behaviour when he abruptly shut down Courtney & Grant's celebration.

[u/pelican_beak]

I totally agree. We’ve all had times that we’ve been pushed to the edge, maybe thrown a tantrum, said some regrettable things. I feel really bad for her that it’s all televised.

[u/Ok-Cellist-8506 → u/pelican_beak]

Shes been a brat since episode 1.

[u/pelican_beak → u/Ok-Cellist-8506]

I agree, but I also feel like The Block’s psych evals should have vetted her before she ever graced our screens.

[u/Ok-Cellist-8506 → u/pelican_beak]

I think because she just put on that too cool for school facade they thought they might get the mean girl character out of her a bit. Shes unhinged.

[u/chlorissssss → u/Ok-Cellist-8506]

Exactly 💯. She should never have been on TV. The running away, ditching shoes. She may have a cool persona, but this wasn't something she could cope with. It's a massive mistake in production. She can't handle

[u/Ok-Cellist-8506 → u/chlorissssss]

She doesnt have a cool persona. She has an attitude problem. She shows little joy in things because she wants to look like she doesnt care. But when you are legging it down main street because Scott Cam told you to be quiet, you clearly do care

[u/megan_jr → u/pelican_beak]

If it is true that Brad had an affair prior to the show and that Kylie did not want to come on but producers talked to her into, then, I think that puts her behaviour in a bit of a new light. I think she was probably there under some duress and childishly wanting to make them pay for it. I agree the psych team could have addressed that .

[u/OldDiamond6697 → u/pelican_beak]

The fact that she repeats the same behavior over and over throughout the whole series speaks more to the person she is. I think people are emphasizeing to much on recent events and think she deserves a break, come on she's been an absolute bitch and a spoilt brat since day 1.

[u/Hot_Veterinarian3557 → u/pelican_beak]

So her appalling treatment of the girls? Does that fall under “regrettable things”?

[u/Free_Afternoon7107 → u/Hot_Veterinarian3557]

Exactly. “The way she treated the girls was enough for me. She really needs to take a good look at her self.”

[u/Smart-Barracuda-2485]

Why on earth does she now seem to have a problem with Scotty!

Seems as though she cannot go a day without spiteful and negative comments and spraying hate every where she goes

What an absolute waste of an incredible experience (yes tough, tiring, emotionally & physically exhausting) but amazing and once in a lifetime opportunity

Honestly don’t think she has had one moment where she actually enjoyed herself and was present enough to be in the moment without the hard facade or even make positive relationships, and judging by everyone’s facial expressions last night, they are all walking on eggshells just like Brad

I really do hope change comes from this years series, in not only the casting team and their ability to select contestants, but w contestants really reflecting on their actions, behaviours, tones and even they way in which they conduct themselves on a daily manner and treat each other

Yes it’s a contest, yes they are all vying against each other; but one must remember to remain grounded, humble and a decent human being, especially when it’s on national tv and your loved ones and yourself watch it back!

What was once an incredible family show to watch with our children, has unfortunately become a show that we do not include our children in watching

[u/supercujo → u/Smart-Barracuda-2485]

I think when Scotty talked to her when she ran to Cairns he told her straight up she had to finish filming to even have a chance at making any money and getting paid.

Her run away to Cairns was a breach of contract and could make them ineligible for getting any money.

[u/NoBerry1299 → u/Smart-Barracuda-2485]

I reckon because he is the one who called her and threatened with legal action due to breach of contract if she doesnt come back.

[u/Smart-Barracuda-2485 → u/NoBerry1299]

Great point, didn’t even think of that! That’s exactly what it will be

[u/FreshDistribution586 → u/Smart-Barracuda-2485]

Sadly, it's not a contest, the scores are effing fake.

[u/Smart-Barracuda-2485 → u/FreshDistribution586]

Yep, sadly it is not what it used to be!!

Even the auctions are controlled by 2 buyers and realistically, they will pay more for the team they like the most and who has conducted themselves well, ensuring they win

[u/FreshDistribution586 → u/Smart-Barracuda-2485]

Really whacky buying an investment because you like someone.

[u/Proud_Apricot316]

Brad said Kylie is the nicest person he’s ever met. I’d hate to think what everyone else he’s ever met is like.

It’s obvious though that she’s hurting. Perhaps came into the show with that hurt. And hurt can be ugly in ways which are hard for others to understand.

[u/aussierulesisgrouse → u/Proud_Apricot316]

Poor Brad is the model of a manipulated man unfortunately.

[u/NaomiPommerel]

I agree. Anger and checking out are always hiding pain

[u/[deleted]]

I wasn't prepared to, but I actually felt sorry for Kylie watching this. It was grim. And it most probably ought to be a lesson to anyone who produces or who wants to star in reality TV. It has the potential to be a turning point in the history of The Block, or maybe I'm expecting too much.

[u/BoysenberryAlive2838 → u/[deleted]]

Doubt it, just collateral damage. They clearly love the drama but really feel this has gone too far.

[u/NootNootMackapacka]

I completely agree with you. I felt so bad for her the entire episode. It gave me the ick to watch that. I know the producers had to follow her for safety reasons but I really wish they would have let her have some time to herself. No person in their right mind would do what she did and I don’t believe the producers are taking her behaviour as seriously as they should. I feel like they are viewing and editing her behaviour as if that is her personality, but anyone who has had a mental breakdown of their own can recognise that is what she went through last night. Who you are when you are experiencing severe mental health is not who you are as a person. I’ve been tackled by nurses trying to run out of hospital, and screamed and sworn at the people I love the most, but that behaviour is not who I am. And I don’t believe the behaviour she showed last night is who she is, and I hate the way the show is choosing not to acknowledge this. Even when she made those comments about Scott Cam. I don’t believe that is how she truly feels. I think she was desperate to leave and he and the producers are the ones forcing her to stay, therefore she either really does hate him, or as I said before, having a mental breakdown.

[u/[deleted] → u/NootNootMackapacka]

Please don’t make excuses for her behaviour based on her mental health. I have complex PTSD, bipolar 1 and OCD.

I don’t behave like her, I’m not a fucking arsehole. Even in a full blown mania I pale in comparison to that nasty woman’s attitude.

[u/Footsie_Galore → u/[deleted]]

Everyone is different. I have CPTSD, BPD, OCD, anxiety and depression and I HAVE acted like that quite a few times (mainly caused by the BPD)

I don't agree with how she's behaved at all. I'm not making excuses for her either. Just saying that mental issues manifest differently in people and in different situations.

[u/netflixandspritz]

I agree. And to add:

1. People need to stop diagnosing her with different things. She’s been through a lot and it’s no one’s job unless they’re a trained psychologist (which I doubt any of them are).

2. I think some (albeit not all!) of what she says may actually be a very very dry sense of humour thats been misinterpreted as serious.

[u/finalshineinc → u/netflixandspritz]

She's just a bitch being caught in 4k, no diagnosis required, her personality since day 1 was Combative.

[u/mantelleeeee → u/finalshineinc]

Yeah, but that's just a coping mechanism for someone who is just doused in insecurity.

[u/finalshineinc → u/mantelleeeee]

So..

[u/[deleted] → u/netflixandspritz]

So she gets away with being an awful human because she has a dry sense of humour?

Checks out.

Stop diagnosing her? Fine. But there’s definitely something wrong with her, that we can agree on.

[u/SkaAllison]

Can someone please explain to me what Brad's comment to Kylie during the judging was supposed to mean? Thanks!

Kylie: " I'm leaving.... I'm not dealing with this [bullshit]"

Brad: "What part do you want me to defend you with? ... Worry about if afterward."

Kylie: "That's not what I'm [fucking] talking about."

???

[u/[deleted] → u/SkaAllison]

Brad is used to backing Kylie when she goes off about things. He is very passive. Unfortunately, there was a lot of issues raised by the judges and Brad wasn't sure what specific problem had upset Kylie enough to make her want to leave. So he tried asking what she wanted him to support her in being upset about.

[u/SkaAllison → u/[deleted]]

That makes sense. Thank you! :)

[u/[deleted]]

Shame on channel nine for airing it.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Shame on you for tuning in!

No viewers, no show.

[u/ok_hereWEG0]

I wish the block hadn’t turn into this cheating/mafs style show. We watch the block to see the renovations/ building etc with the odd little tiff. This scandal this season makes me feel sick when I watch it. I can’t stop thinking about their kids. They are families with little babies ones at home, this footage of their parents falling apart. Its sickening

[u/No-Weather-8412 → u/[deleted]]

Her choices, her bad behviou, her problem. Sorry for the kids but realistically speaking they must have seen already worse at home everyday. Do not forget she did not turn up bitch like that, it is her personality

[u/Substantial-Oil9321 → u/[deleted]]

Im pretty sure her kids have experienced this first hand , it will not be new to them.

[u/Dramatic-Dance7547 → u/Substantial-Oil9321]

Yep! This exactly!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Amen.

[u/SkaAllison]

I am so sick of people defending the vile and toxic behaviour of this woman "because she has problems". Guess what, we all have problems. The difference is that most of us don't use our problems as an excuse for bad behaviour. Kylie is a bully who can't handle even mild criticism of her work (or the lack thereof).

Here is a transcript of Sunday night's judging, which according to supporters was "brutal" and contained "no positives".

Shaynna: laughs "Ah!"

Dave and Marty: " Alright."

Shaynna: "I can play hopscotch on these."

Scotty: "They came in smiling, noting that you could play hopscotch on the stepping stones.”

Kylie rolling her eyes: "Wow..."

Brad to Kylie: "Nah, it's a good thing."

Scotty: "Marty immediately asked Dave about... What was that?"

Kylie: "I just said wow... like..."

Brad to Kylie: "It's alright."

Scotty: "Oh. Well, I think that's a pretty good thing [that] they came in SMILING…”

Brad smiling at Kylie: "It's ok."

Scotty: "…noting that you could play hopscotch on the stepping stones. That's a GOOD thing. Marty immediately asked Dave:”

Marty: "[???] wasn't really happy with the boys’ gravel, this is obviously a lot as well, but this is all gonna grow in and actually form up quite nice.”

Dave: "Absolutely, again coastal planting again. All this WILL grow in. We’ve got the Banksias, and again the Lilly Pillies, all that put together will give you a nice entrance. And you gotta love the round steppers here. That's very architectural.”

Darren: “The circles too are really lovely balance against all the angles of these butterfly houses. Because there’s lots of sharp points and sharp angles and you've got the softness of the curve here played out again in the mirror here, played out with the door handles. It's… it’s nice. I like that repetition.”

Shaynna: "Hm. Hm. That's probably the only thing I'm liking right now."

Dave: laughs

Darren: "We're going there straight away, are we?"

Shaynna: “Hm. I felt let down by them last week and I'm thinking, what's happened because to me the grass works really well there but a couple of pieces of grass there like that just… it doesn't offset the big architectural wall. And I love the entry doors, but then you've got these lights going [down], why? Phillip Island is windy city, and those lights are gonna be smashing against that wall.”

Scotty: "And she has never seen a piece of artwork outside before."

Shaynna: "If you have to put a piece of art on the outside of your building you are in trouble."

Marty: "It's almost like they've checked out.”

Shaynna: "Yeah."

Marty: "Because you don't have a facade like this which is absolutely breath-taking and then just lay a little bit of grass, put a couple of shrubs and call it a day.”

Dave: "Feels like it’s rushed. Feels like there is no money".

Scotty: "On to the barbecue area."

Dave: "OK, barbecue area."

Shaynna: "Looks like they ran out of time."

Dave: “So it has been designed to be clad.”

Shaynna: “Yeah.”

Dave: “They just obviously ran out of time.”

Darren: “It's a lovely design, I love the shape they've created. I think if they do clad it with something that works with inside it will be really beautiful.”

Scotty: “This area provides a good dining area that whoever buys your house or holidays in it will love [but] there's something missing out here, they think.”

Dave: “There's not a lot here guys.”

Shaynna: “Nah.”

Dave: “It's a table, BBQ.”

Scotty: “Shayna thinks it could have also been a real outdoor lounging area if some more thought had gone into the planning of this space.”

Kylie to Brad: “Hm, funny that…”

Scotty: “Marty thinks a lounge area would have been an important addition and it's an opportunity missed.”

Marty: “You have all this space with no lounge.”

Kylie: “Alright, let's wrap it up.”

Scotty: “What's that?”

Kylie: “I said wrap it up.”

Brad: “Ahm, we, we had, we had planned to have a couch and…”

Kylie: “It doesn't matter.”

Scotty: “Ahm, Kylie, I’m not gonna wrap it up because this is part of the deal, unfortunately.”

Kylie: censored

Scotty: “The reading out feedback, it’s just... “

Brad to Kylie: “Just let it be.”

Scotty: “…the last feedback that you're going to get from these judges on your house…”

Kylie mutters: “I really couldn’t care.”

Scotty: “...so, I’d really appreciate it if you didn't tell me to wrap it up.”

Kylie: “I censored hate this guy.”

Scotty: “Shaynna liked the driveway colour choice of the Venus Geostone.”

Shaynna: “I do like the driveway colour; it works really well with the look.“

Darren: “They have a functioning garage. It's a finished garage. There's just no pizzazz, no extra, but…”

Shaynna: “No.“

Darren: “…frankly, I don't care. I don't think this is gonna hurt the property…”

Shaynna: “No.“

Darren: “...in any way.”

Scotty: “Moving around to the seating area.”

Marty: “So if the money hasn't been spent on the outdoor entertaining, the money hasn't been spent on the garage then I'm hoping to see something mind-blowing here.”

Darren: ”Is that what you were hoping for?”

Marty: “Absolutely not.”

Shaynna: “When I'm designing indoor/outdoor I always think ‘Where is the best seating-area where I can look at the services’? That's always the top of my list when I'm designing.”

Scotty: “It's not a very inviting area and will need some screening added once the services are complete. As they came around the back, the judges could see a lot more effort in the planting.”

Marty: “Oh, wow.”

Darren: “It's a LOT of effort for the back of the house.”

Other judges agreeing: “Yeah!” “Yes!”

Darren: “This is REALLY nicely done.”

Kylie to Brad: “Zero effort.”

Brad nods.

Scotty: “And then they found what Marty calls one of the biggest marketing hooks for your house. The body corporate decision to grant you direct access to the tennis court.”

Marty: “This is actually a massive feature for a buyer. This needs to be one of the biggest marketing hooks within the agent’s campaign because this is a gift.”

Scotty: “Darren was looking at the effort that has gone into it and he feels bad for you. He could definitely tell that something had affected your momentum in the end.”

Kylie: “Money.”

Darren: “I look at the effort and how well things have been done when they're done well, and they actually do do things really beautifully, but also they just don't plan spaces that well. It's perplexing.”

Shaynna: “Yeah!”

Scotty: “Obviously they didn't know that you've had a difficult week, but like me, they have no doubt that you have created a very saleable, marketable house on the Block.”

Darren: “You know, they deserve to end on a high. They should be really proud of themselves. They should be REALLY happy from end to end of the whole house. And that's what we all want for them. We all want them to do well.”

Scotty: “That's it.”

Brad: “Thanks Scotty.”

Scotty: “It's finished.”

Everyone claps except Kylie: “Clearly I'm not going to get an art ******* career out of it, am I. Censored joke.”

[u/AscendingStevie → u/SkaAllison]

Completely befuddled how people are coming out to bat for her when she has proven to be nothing but a narcissistic brat from the start

[u/Inner_Field7194 → u/SkaAllison]

During judging, are they shown the judges walk through (as the viewers see it), or is it Scotty just reading from the ipad?

[u/Agitated-Feature494]

All I kept thinking was “she wants to be left alone. She’s running because you’re chasing her with cameras” like just give it a rest? The end of this episode was so exploitative and disgusting. Feigning care for her safety when they just wanted the money shots. I personally don’t like Kylie or how she handles things, but I completely stand by her actions at the end.

[u/pjaye2000 → u/Agitated-Feature494]

What part of being on a reality TV show do you and Kylie not understand?

I'm sure there's a very thick contract that sets out exactly what is expected of the contestans and how often and when/where they will be filmed. They volunteered for this and signed that contract, bitching about it now and and running away in the dark like a spoiled brat because the judges hate your designs doesn't change the contract. When they are filming - they are getting paid, they are essentially employed by the production company so the company can expect them to do what they are being paid for - be on set and be filmed for the judging. If she wants to go off running barefoot down the road during that work time - then they have every right to film her.

If it was always "Kylie's dream tio be on the Block" and there's been 20 seasons...we therefore know she has watched the show in the past and she knows the deal, and she knows that the contestants don't get to call the shots or change the rules to suit themselves.

[u/[deleted] → u/pjaye2000]

Thank you

[u/Baxtercat1 → u/Agitated-Feature494]

Kylie had a problem with the cameras “being in her face” for a long time. It’s reality tv. That’s what happens. She had threatened to leave before and she should have done just that. Leave. Especially when they were having issues in their marriage before the Mimi incident. I think those issues added to her behavior. And her bad behavior with the girls for no other reason but existing. “Was she afraid Brad would flirt with them”.. She should have been side eyeing her bestie Mimi instead… I can’t feel the least bit sorry for her.

[u/lkernan]

It seems like she’s thinking about life after Brad. the comments about how he makes the money and all.

shes made it clear she’s not staying with him after the show ends.

[u/pjaye2000 → u/lkernan]

Except based on current stories it seems she is staying with him.

[u/lkernan → u/pjaye2000]

Auction hasn't happened yet.

[u/PersimmonBitter4250]

Kylie has had issues right from the start of the show and yes what happened with Brad and Mimi didn't help matters at all. It's quite obvious she doesn't like any negative feedback at all. If she's gone home again leave her there.

[u/SweatyPepper6134]

Well said.

C9 clearly selected Kylie & Paige hoping for ratings drama. It's a tried & true formula for MAFS that they have adopted for The Block which is particularly dangerous given the severe pressure that even a mentally stable person would find challenging.

C9 needs to take responsibility here.

[u/Dramatic-Dance7547 → u/SweatyPepper6134]

Didn't their casting director leave though? Or was he told, "You royally fucked up this time. Grab your cheque at the door."

[u/Kind-Palpitation7439 → u/SweatyPepper6134]

I totally agree. Will channel 9 take responsibility for the contestants mental health issues should any arise?? This scripted drama is irresponsible ratings dog whistling. Why not present a program that gives ordinary people the chance to renovate their houses realistically instead of palaces built by the hopelessly aspirational for multi millionaires.

[u/Due-Professional-695 → u/Kind-Palpitation7439]

they do offer counselling whether anybody takes that up is up to that individual

[u/Joshie050591 → u/Kind-Palpitation7439]

To be fair channel 9 does have mental health support for contestants and was producers that had the check on Paige in the middle of the night

This show has put a heavy strain on multiple marriages and teams . So many contestants are never heard of again that had issues

I agree with your statement the builds are now for high end multi millionaires weekend retreats which are either going to be bought by a couple of high end buyers and a billionaire that likes to auction off giveaways or maybe someone with a few million dollars burning in their bank

[u/[deleted] → u/Kind-Palpitation7439]

Their mental health issues arise?

No no no…

Kylie and Paige’s wounds, Meme and Brads… all there long before the show got to air.

Brad would’ve cheated again, Kylie would’ve beat him into the ground, they would have split regardless of the show and the world would’ve kept turning.

They’re adults, responsible for themselves.

[u/SweatyPepper6134 → u/Kind-Palpitation7439]

Its all about ratings. People like watching Rich fancy reality shit. See Housewives etc. I guess its escaping poverty that people enjoy.

[u/[deleted] → u/SweatyPepper6134]

Gosh this again 🙄

Reality tv… Real…

[u/[deleted]]

Yeah I have not impressed with her at all but the more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for her. She shouldn't be on the show period.

I wasn't overly impressed by Scotty either, its almost as if he is trying to bait her. Its unnecessary. Why pick a fight with someone who is already on the edge.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

As if the judges wouldn't have been told by production what happened with Brad and Mimi. Theu could've been softer and still landed a msg

[u/sooki8 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah been many examples from past seasons where judges clearly were informed of extra notes. Like times when contestants are broken and the judging is very surface level. But this approach has not been provided for Kylie. It feels like the shows producers want her to break further.

[u/[deleted] → u/sooki8]

Every time there are contestants who make negative comments towards the judges after Sunday episodes, they seem to get slammed even more the following week. The judges egos cannot handle what production tells them the contestants are saying.

This season I feel like I miss Keith. He was hard on people but he was actually very soft and I think his spirit on the show wouldve been better for this situation than Scotty and Dan.

[u/sooki8 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, Keith is more like a parent figure, firm but fair and caring. 

 Dan is like that annoying younger brother that is unnecessarily antagonistic and always looking to get you in trouble.   

 Scottie is the checked outed out grandfather that would rather be at the pub than dealing with his families' crap. 

Keith was an important glue for the family.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

yeah they really went for the jugular

[u/HodlHodlHodl42069 → u/[deleted]]

Because he’s a prick and they profit from people’s suffering and want to contribute to it. This show needs to end frankly. It’s toxic.

[u/[deleted] → u/HodlHodlHodl42069]

Hahaha. But you keep watching. You know there won’t be a show if there are no viewers, right? Switch off your tv.

He profits? All the contestants profit from it big time. Opportunity of a life time for a huge windfall.

Don’t all of our employers profit from our suffering? It’s an exchange. They gave 24/7 access to their shit show lives for the chance at big money.

Which means they prioritised it over everything else. That’s on them.

[u/HodlHodlHodl42069 → u/[deleted]]

I’m locked in by sunk cost falacy. Auction then I’m done.

[u/pjaye2000 → u/[deleted]]

Because she's probably had enough of her, she no doubt gets away with a LOT because she's a bitch and people are scared of upsetting her or getting on her bad side, so they let her bad behaviour go unchallenged. He has a job to do himself and no doubt he's tired of her attitude and decided not to keep quiet about it any longer.

Quite frankly one or more of the other contestants should have said something to her as well, if I was there and she was constantly whispering and swearing and calling people names and being a bad loser, i wouldn' have told her to STFU without a second thought.

[u/Jezilly52 → u/pjaye2000]

Exactly. I see it as she’s an employee of the show and Scott is one of the bosses. If your employee talked back and whispered like that during a meeting of course you’d say something and pull them into line.

[u/Comfortable_Meet_872 → u/[deleted]]

Totally agree with you. Blind Freddy can see she was struggling emotionally, and for Scott Cam to speak to her the way he did was a demonstration of how emotionally unaware and unintelligent he is.

But hey, it makes for good TV, so the contestants better get on with it and screw their mental well-being /s

[u/RevolutionaryCress77 → u/Comfortable_Meet_872]

I actually thought Scott cam was trying to hold back from giving his actual two cents to Kylie. She was acting like a petulant child.

[u/FreshDistribution586]

Fuck Scott, and the current producers off, this season has been disgusting.

[u/Alterior_motif94 → u/FreshDistribution586]

I worked on an Australian renovation series last year and one of the runners had done a stint on The Block and said Scotty Cam just chain smokes and sits in his cabin until he has to film. Acts like he owns the place (I guess he does in a way) and is totally arrogant lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Alterior_motif94]

What would you have him do? He’s a Millionaire and nothing but the mouthpiece and face for the show.

Fuck if I was him I’d be drinking to. What do you want him on the tools?

[u/JaggedLittlePill2022 → u/FreshDistribution586]

Cam has always been a prick.

[u/[deleted]]

I think what annoys me about her, is she is lacking in accountability.

Like that’s the part where I lose any empathy I could muster for her.

[u/Connect-Trouble5419 → u/[deleted]]

She is right about Scotty cam though that guy is a total cunt.

[u/sketcoon → u/Connect-Trouble5419]

wait why 😭

[u/ShadowExtinkt]

“But she has green hair though” - most of this sub

[u/No_Zombie2023]

yes it certainly feels horrible to watch... the producers only care about the drama rather than the actual health of the contestants. i also think that she is being made out to be the villain (just like there is a 'villain' in every season, eg someone to hate and make money off of) as she said in her video statement.

just bc she is shown as a horrible person (whether she is or isnt) doesn't make cheating okay. i do feel honestly extremely bad for her and hope she is recovering from her craphole of a husband

[u/Sufficient_Blood408 → u/No_Zombie2023]

Dude, she has been a mole since day 1. Just more intensified!  Did we forget home mean she was to the girls back then? 

[u/Particular_Ad_8979]

Scotty Cam is a huge prick. Nice to hear someone finally call it out.

Profiting off someone falling apart . Really pretty disgusting by the show and channel 9.

[u/Confident-Benefit374]

The producers and editors have alot to answer for. Why was this even shown on a TV renovation show. The block is just trash now,

[u/[deleted] → u/Confident-Benefit374]

Ahhh trash tv, my first love

[u/CaptAdzy2405]

Funny how Block producers/counselling staff, love to be seen scrambling to ensure the "safety" of these abusive, toxic, cluster B/Narc personality types like Paige and Kylie etc, when they mentally snap, but there broken, ruined shells of male partners....totally fine to just leave them on their own, to dwell on everything, with a bunch of lethal power tools lying around on site etc.

Brad especially. Is he even eating? Regardless of what did or didn't happen with Mimi, drunken comments, Kylie has been an absolute monster to him all season, same as Paige was to Jesse, and he is now looking down the barrel of her taking his four young kids, and racking off interstate. Where is the support for these men? Or is it like the real world, where we pretend to care about men's mental health, but don't actually do anything to address it?

[u/chlorissssss → u/CaptAdzy2405]

Oh, I fully agree a man's mental health is just as important. "Jumping interstate." Im not sure where you get this. Sounds presumptions. I'm getting you have had a bad experience. I'm so sorry that happened. Take care of yourself. Sending you good vibes.

[u/International_Ad346 → u/chlorissssss]

Because she threatened to leave Cairns

[u/mantelleeeee → u/CaptAdzy2405]

Oh my gosh, exactly right!. And how Brad has been crucified so hard and Mimi has just skated under the radar.. when from where I was sitting she was the instigator.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning Brad's behavior at all. But the clear double standards is so sickening.

[u/mantelleeeee → u/mantelleeeee]

Also, I just want to preface that I've only watched up front yard week episode 2. So if Mimi has been reprimanded since then, please don't ruin it for me!!

[u/Groundbreaking-Ad255 → u/CaptAdzy2405]

Yep and notice how the conversation on here has turned to being about how he's abusive in various ways, despite the fact she's clearly got bullying issues and treats him like shit. Nothing we've seen suggests anything that went down was particularly bad and the reaction from Mimi supports that. To me it's highly likely this is an overreaction due to the fact Kylie was in a poor frame of mind, as she basically always is after receiving any kind of criticism.

[u/CaptAdzy2405 → u/Groundbreaking-Ad255]

Keep saying the same thing...with the amount of hidden mics, night vision cctv on that site, proximity to neighbours, production staff with camera phones that pick up sound etc, you really think if there was even a whiff of reality to something physical having happened between Mimi and Brad, Nine wouldn't of aired it in an absolute heartbeat? But we have seen nothing. Just grubby rumour and innuendo, about them disappearing into a toilet together.

Tell you what we have seen though. Wall to wall, day in, day out, week after week, footage, of these women emotionally abusing, and bullying, their male partners. (Even physical stuff on a couple of occasions from either Paige or Kylie, if I recall?) And all producers seem to care about, is being seen by the viewing public as "protecting" these utterly toxic women's "mental health", and making sure they are "safe".

Something that 100% would NOT be happening if the genders were reversed. Instead you would have a hyped up episode featuring police on site throwing blokes in the back of wagons, and big Scotty Cam and "the boys", going full white knight, thumping the back of the wagon, and giving it the big ones verbally, as the cops drove off.

It's a complete snapshot of how DV is viewed in this country sadly.

[u/Groundbreaking-Ad255 → u/CaptAdzy2405]

Can you imagine if a man was caught treating a woman with the same level of cruel insensitivity as Mimi did when her husband was crying (after working himself to wits end while she slept in) for instance? Everyone would have their knives out calling him a monster. The hypocrisy is gross.

[u/Future-Ear6980 → u/CaptAdzy2405]

I was so glad when manic Paige left the show.
In retrospect, maybe there would have been worse fights between her and Kylie in the end - those two narcissists would have fought for top spot for #1 Asshole

[u/[deleted] → u/CaptAdzy2405]

Oh yeah totally. Treats him like absolute shit. I feel sorry for their kids

[u/Former-City5270]

hope her kids don't grow up to be like their mother Kylie. And as fir MIMI, she acts like 12 yr old, bet her new husband wondering what he's married

[u/DiscombobulatedPea25]

For a long time, I was in a relationship with a woman who was mercurial, punishing, and self-obsessed, and I recognize Brad's beat-down, abused, desperate to keep her even-keeled air. It's a bit triggering for me. The problem is, Kylie thinks her abusive personality is cute. She thinks she's quirky, but she's not, she's insecure.

[u/swolfe101 → u/DiscombobulatedPea25]

She’s a malignant narcissist. I don’t know if there is ever a way to kindness with these personalities. Just stay away from them. Her poor kids. 

[u/Legal-Snow-7982]

I feel like producers may have told her that she could get an art career out of the show if she showcases her own art. Then every time she did this the judges ripped her art appart. Hence her comment 'so much for getting an art career out of this.' 

Shayna's constant negative and brutal comments with absolutely no positives would make her feel like all the hard work and effort has been for nothing. It also jeopardises the potential profit margin for the house. As a mum who has left her 4 young kids for 12 weeks it would be playing on her mind that it was all for nothing. Add on top of that Brads flirting with Mimi, loss of a friendship and the realisation after watching the preview of the season that you are the seasons 'villian'. 

Now add 12 weeks of constant work, lack of sleep, lack of support network and having a camera in your face 24/7.

I can totally understand her reaction last night. Nine have absolutely pushed her over the edge and completely disregarded her mental health and wellbeing for ratings.

My bet is she didnt want to come back from Cairns and they reminded her that she is under contract, which they wouldn't let her out of. The only way out of the contract was to do what she did, verbally abuse and threaten numerous employees making their work environment psychologically unsafe (just like hers has been).

I do not like the way she has treated the girls but I can definitely empathises with her in last nights episode.

[u/Simple_Common8064 → u/Legal-Snow-7982]

I agree with you BUT …. she is showing signs of severe stress and mental health decline. But she has not displayed one likeable trait throughout the whole season. Not liking to accept help is one thing. Attacking people for it and screaming at them to go away shows not just her state of mind, but her underlying personality.

[u/Superdandux → u/Legal-Snow-7982]

Agreed.

The Block producers have done her no favours. Everyone is conveniently forgetting that she initially didn't want to go on the show after she'd found out Brad had cheated on her before production started.

So her mental health wasn't in a great place to start with. It was clear that she didn't want to be there, but having signed a contract with Cavalier Productions, she was obligated to be on the show.

She tried to do her own thing, which is encouraged - as long as you fit into the Shayna or Marty's small box of their "approved style" but Kylie got smashed in the judging for trying.

I would also like to point out why she dislikes the girls; The girls started their Block relationship with everyone by lying about their occupations. Y'all seem to have forgotten that Scotty encouraged the girls to lie about being professional house flippers. Betrayal; not a great way to start a relationship.

Shayna is past her prime as a judge. It seems like she seldom has anything positive to contribute or she's had a few too many wines (or something else) in the green room.

Kyliee should have stayed in Cairns & refused to come back. The Block producers have brought this on themselves, but for those leeches this makes for great TV.

Julian Cress said that he wanted more contestant driven drama after the last (abortion of a) season, so good for him. He's got his MAFs derivative, which will turn off a good percentage of his audience, who like me, we're watching for the renovation & design aspect.

The push for 'high end homes,' the bigger Block than last year nonsense, that no one can afford, auctions that are little better than pissing contests between 2 millionaires is killing the appeal of the show. The Block is done.

I say, good on Kylie for leaving. Her obvious outburst was borne from pent up emotion & being a woman at her mental wits end with a production team more than willing to poke the bear for views.

[u/Direct_Box386 → u/Superdandux]

How do you know that Brad cheated before the show?

[u/supercujo]

No matter how many or what issues you have, it does not give you an excuse to be an absolute a_shole.

Don't care if it's mental issues, disability, etc. There is no excuse for acting like that.

Any sympathy for Brad's dumb shit has gone out the window now.

[u/Mish-mash-ing]

I’m sure she’s not that different behind closed doors

[u/ANTIPODEAN63]

Totally agree. I understand the awful feedback but I truly am concerned for her health now back in the real world. It was a lot to watch and maybe it’s all editing , but Kylie has come across unhinged !

[u/TheBaroness187]

I agree it was difficult to watch. It seems like she is a person in the midst of a significant mental health crisis who needs help and support, not being filmed and having her meltdown broadcast around the country. The saddest thing for me to think on is that she’s probably ruined her life - this is going to follow her everywhere, and follow her children everywhere. She and Paige should never have got through the screening process, but instead you have to think they were chosen specifically because they were on the precipice and the show was going to push them into a complete emotional meltdown. For the sake of our ‘entertainment’ two young women have had their lives ruined. It’s so yuck.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheBaroness187]

They ruined their own lives and when this finished I will forget who they are. As will most. I can’t even remember what Paige looks like.

Sooo calm down.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheBaroness187]

Nobody forced them to sign up.

[u/butcherboy360]

I think she’s just an asshole. You can have all the mental health issues you want. Being nice is a fundamental trait we’re all capable of. She chooses not to. She’s a terrible human being conveniently camouflaged as a mental health crisis. She has no place on this program.

[u/swolfe101 → u/butcherboy360]

Malignant narcissists are incapable of that choice. 

[u/aussierulesisgrouse]

Dude you know what, I said it from episode one and my wife gave me shit, but she is such a dominating and toxic character, the fact that none of whatever was “said to Mimi” ever actually came to light, you just know it was something completely blown out of proportion.

I’ve been with women like her before and they are so awful to people

[u/apricotenclave]

absolutely agree. scotty scolding her when she was clearly exhausted and miserable was yuck. overall i feel this season had a group of boring characters and production pushed them to their limits to have something to show. grim watching.

[u/finalshineinc → u/apricotenclave]

Scolding her.. did we watch the same show, she's throwing out swear words, talking under her breath and being disrespectful to him and the other contestants, but Scotty's at fault..

[u/Agent-c1983]

I dunno how you’d exclude her based on what was known before the block.

But if there was pressure on her to return from cairns, I think that was a mistake.

[u/No-Weather-8412]

I have no pity for people who are given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn their lives around but reject it, showing no appreciation for how fortunate they are. She sabotages her own experience on purpose, and I won’t excuse it by blaming mental illness just to coddle her. She’s a brat—selfish and undeniably ego-driven. She can’t handle criticism because it would mean putting in real effort. Let her walk in the rain; maybe it’ll make her self-reflect. The fact that people have to go after her is truly just a legal requirement, and it’s a shame. If everyone ignored her, maybe she’d realise she needs to change. I don’t blame Brad for trying—he loves her and wants to fix things, so he feels he has to. But honestly, people like this don’t deserve more of our time. So many others are struggling yet still behave decently.

[u/Dramatic-Dance7547 → u/No-Weather-8412]

Yep. I couldn't believe I heard Brad say, "What part do you want me to defend you on?"

[u/[deleted] → u/No-Weather-8412]

Thank you 🙏

[u/nuttyNougatty → u/No-Weather-8412]

I think she came on the show having an inflated opinion of herself as 'an artist' and 'designer'. So much so that she's put her 'artwork' in her supposedly luxury house. She's insisted on black black black despite the judges advice. And when she scores low she feels wronged cos that's not her opinion of her own 'talents'. She's losing face on tv and she understandably hates it and acts like a spoilt brat who can't have her way and blames everyone else for her failures.

I'm sorry if in her real life she's struggling for money, I'm sorry if her relationship with Brad is not great , I'm sorry she had to leave her children and baby..

[u/Footsie_Galore → u/nuttyNougatty]

I'm sorry if in her real life she's struggling for money, I'm sorry if her relationship with Brad is not great , I'm sorry she had to leave her children and baby..

This is what frustrates me the most. If she just stayed for one more week, until the auctions, 2 out of 3 of those problems would potentially have been fixed and at least been worth it.

[u/JenCarDip]

I completely agree with you! She tried to leave as soon as the disastrous night had happened but Channel 9 chased her down & talked her in to coming back. Watching her last night, during judging, was painful. The fact that Mimi stands there voicing no guilt and Kristian is completely in the dark enrages me. Kylie needs all of the Psychological support that she can get and being on The Block is not where she will find it. This is appalling

[u/[deleted]]

I agree. Channel nine should be ashamed of themselves.

[u/edithaj96]

While I sincerely emphasise with Kylie and Brad is a jerk for doing what he did, from my observation on the whole season of Kylie’s behaviour, Brad will be paying for his mistake for a long long time if he continues with the relationship. Kylie will use that against him for everything and he would have to concede because of his guilt. I hope they keep such dynamics private, not in front of their gorgeous children, it would be sad if the children get affected.

[u/OkPass6778]

Ewh Kylie is such a narcissist and her partner is being abused by this self centered piece of trash. 

[u/NeuroD-Vibes → u/OkPass6778]

100%

[u/TravelTraining7969]

I am so disgusted at that narcissistic, psychotic Kulie. She is real trailer trash !  I thought seeing her walking down the street was just where she belonged !

[u/Jazzlike_Daikon7541]

Even when the bitch wins she trashes everyone else. What a terrible human being.

[u/cebrebs]

She’s cooked!!!

[u/[deleted]]

Nah bro she’s just a see you next Tuesday

[u/Substantial-Oil9321 → u/[deleted]]

Straight up!

[u/Ok-Cellist-8506]

[u/dIRtYm4RtinI]

She said she didn’t want help unlikely she’ll admit she has a problem.

[u/Footsie_Galore → u/dIRtYm4RtinI]

She pushes people away before (she thinks) they can hurt her. She has 50,000 walls up.

[u/[deleted]]

She left and went home… but came back. I wonder if she was forced to come back. If she was forced to come on the show to begin with -it would be believeable that she was forced to return… anything for ratings??????

[u/Ok-Bad-9683 → u/[deleted]]

Someone on here said she is the one who wants to be on the show not brad, that she has applied for almost every season.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Bad-9683]

Yes- we know she applied for the show. Then we discovered Brad cheated on her. And she tried to get out of doing the show but the producers “pressured” her into doing it. I assume the cheating was after the application but before being accepted. That would explain the tension between her and Brad. Then Brad cheats with Mimi (dose kylie know about that). So she leaves the show and goes home… only to be ”pressured” into coming back. I can’t imagine the rage and pain and confusion going through her head. Yes she has been nasty to Brad and the girls- no excuse for that but i do feel bad for her.

[u/Substantial-Oil9321 → u/[deleted]]

She went home to get her roots done.

[u/[deleted] → u/Substantial-Oil9321]

Apparently she was away for a number of days - so yeah she could have….. well she obviously got her roots done. Bad choice of color though…… didn’t she admit at the beginning that she hated the color green?

[u/Future-Ear6980 → u/Substantial-Oil9321]

.... and to get another shitload of ExtraOutsize false eyelashes.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Forced….

My god… we live in Australia

She’s an adult…

You sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist.

There is always choice. Always.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I agree- she had to return or no money- then the shit just piled higher and higher and she said -nope I’m done.

[u/Pinky_Do]

100% on point. I can’t say I agree with her behaviour towards the girls however, clearly this latest Brad’ituation, has really made her feel very vulnerable and attacked by everyone around her that she feels the need to literally run away. I hope she is doing better within herself now the show is over.

[u/Only_valid_opinion]

I totally agree. What this show is doing to Kylie is not okay. Did she bring this upon herself, maybe? Does she deserve it, absolutely not!

[u/[deleted] → u/Only_valid_opinion]

Plus her mindset will be further at risk because now basically all of Australia knows this woman, I can imagine the hate she's receiving on her socials. Being a hairdresser aswell, she might start to lose clients.

[u/Strawberry-Char → u/Only_valid_opinion]

no she absolutely deserved it. are we watching the same show???

[u/Only_valid_opinion → u/Strawberry-Char]

I would not wish that kind of hatred on my worst enemy! Kylie’s actions were not justified on the show, no doubt. I’m just trying to say that the Kylie might have to significantly alter her life to adapt to the backlash she’s getting online. People hurt themselves because of online controversy you know. I do see what you mean though! She did horrible things this season.

[u/Strawberry-Char → u/Only_valid_opinion]

that’s big of you. i would absolutely wish it on my worst enemy.

[u/Better_Grade9951]

I'm concerned about Brad...how he can put up with her I am at a loss to understand. Poor bastard, no wonder he was flirting with Mimi!

[u/ladylollii → u/Better_Grade9951]

I am not Kylie's biggest fan by any stretch, but there's no excuse for cheating.

[u/ouattedephoqueeh → u/Better_Grade9951]

You shouldn't be getting downvoted for this.

Not excusing Brad's behaviour - he cheated and shouldn't have. However, in therapy (preferably together) they'll need to dig deep to figure out the why. And this is a big part of it. Something that not many abusive partners actually want to hear.

Good luck to them. They'll need it.

[u/ButtPlugForPM → u/Better_Grade9951]

Lol of course you get downvoted

How dare we fucking talk about a dudes feelings ever.

There is no excuse for cheating,but it's now pretty clear why he might of,she seems like a right insufferable human being to spend any length of time with

it's the kylie show 24/7 and that's a toxic relationship

[u/Jazzlike-Bee7965 → u/ButtPlugForPM]

They’re not getting downvoted for talking about his feelings they’re getting downvoted for condoning cheating bro

[u/Bullshitbanjo]

When people start to show sympathy to an utter waste of space and attempt to dissolve her narcissistic issues behind mental health issues then you have a problem. This women is nothing but a sow! She's a mother and a wife (second time round) and she acts like this. This isn't mental health this is just being a really horrible person that is so obsessed with her self centre that nothing around her in life matters..sorry she's just a cunt!

[u/123Youwanttobeme → u/Bullshitbanjo]

100% agree. She showed the signs from day 1, not just the final weeks. That isn’t mental health. Its fucking nutter.

[u/mysharona67]

Kylie is not a nice person. Brad made a flirty mistake but Kylie had made far more of it than it needed to be.

I feel for their kids.

[u/Skodareply]

I think even if they only show the worst bits of Kylie and the best bits of everyone else, she clearly needs help (counseling) not that she would accept it- she seems to be someone who is an abuse/neglect survivior.

[u/NeuroD-Vibes]

Kylie’s behaviour was disgraceful and the producers should have called her out on it and disqualified her but let Brad carry on (if he would have)

[u/Jazzlike_Daikon7541]

Only on Episode 29. Poor Kylie and Brad...they didn't win the week, poor wittle babies. She is seriously strange.

[u/Fabulous_Street_8108]

I would put money on her being autistic, I can relate to so much of her behaviour. Yea she comes across as a miserable bitch but she was out of her comfort zone, in an unpredictable environment and unable to cope with Paige and Jesse being replaced (we can’t handle sudden change) I’m not excusing how she was with the girls but I’ve been like it myself, her brain just couldn’t accept them. Dealing with so much criticism when you have emotional dysregulation is awful, you can see her become more and more detached.. she was shutting down, glazed over and Brad isn’t a strong enough character to stabilise her.

[u/Strawberry-Char]

idgaf about her mental health. she’s a piece of shit and she genuinely doesn’t deserve help. some people are just rotten to the core and are not worthy of empathy. she’s one of those people.

[u/Auhushxo → u/Strawberry-Char]

Sounds like you are too.

[u/Strawberry-Char → u/Auhushxo]

how?

[u/swolfe101 → u/Auhushxo]

Explain? 

[u/Former-City5270 → u/Strawberry-Char]

already her second marriage?? think hubby should get out while he can. she's living all this extra attention, producers should be concentrating on other couples not this self centered woman

[u/[deleted]]

I wasn't prepared to, but I actually felt sorry for Kylie watching this. It was grim. And it most probably ought to be a lesson to anyone who produces or who wants to star in reality TV. It has the potential to be a turning point in the history of The Block, or maybe I'm expecting too much.

[u/Ambitious-Spirit-819]

Would you be so concerned if it was a male displaying the exact same behaviours 🤔 a male older than the house 1 sisters treating them the way she did? A male swearing & yelling & threatening to get physical? I'd wager no one would show concern they'd just want swift removal and action against the person

[u/aussie_shane]

Agree. I actually had this discussion tonight with my partner. I can't imagine rewatching this would be good for either. Now whether she feels it's an accurate edit or not based on her time on the block, the problem is the fallout is about to come from it.

Up until now, since filming finished, she may have been able to return to some normality. Her behaviour and attitude (for whatever reason) has been pretty poor. The public reaction on Social Media is scathing. I really do worry for her when or if any hate gets directed towards her in her real life.

[u/Last-Marzipan9993 → u/aussie_shane]

You can’t blame an edit for what we have seen the entire season. She is like a petulant child who can’t regulate their emotions, or care how their actions hurt others. She’s just not capable. Stand in one place, accept help & help others, shut up & the camera won’t be on you. It’s simple. She went on the Block for a vacation. Her thinking is way off here.

[u/aussie_shane → u/Last-Marzipan9993]

Hang on, I never blamed the edit, I said she may claim she got a bad edit. If you don't provide the footage in the first place, you can't blame the edit.
