From Separations to Making a Million Dollars, Here’s Where The Block Contestants are Now
The Block is currently airing on Channel 9 right now, fulfilling our hunger for lockdown DIY projects.
But while the current contestants battle it out on-site to take home the top prize, we thought it would be a good idea to reflect on those before them.
The Block has produced some memorable contestants, so let’s see what they’re up to now.
Dan Reilly and Dani Wales
Dan competed on the show twice, once in 2012 and the second time in 2013, with his partner Dani.
After the show ended, the couple starred in their very own series, Dan vs Dani and kickstarted their own design business called the Red Door Project.
Josh and Jenna Densten
Josh popped the question to Jenna on The Block in 2011, the same day their house failed to sell at the auction.
The house was sold a few days later, with the Densten’s making a cool $50,000 in profit.
The couple wed in 2012 and competed on The Block All Stars in 2013.
They now have two children and their own Design School.
Josh also works as a commercial plumber.
Alisa and Lysandra Fraser
Twin sisters and former cops, Alisa and Lysandra made $395,000 in profit when they won The Block back in 2013.
They then returned in 2014 for The Block: Fans vs Faves in 2014, but lost to Steve O’Donnell and Chantelle Ford.
But despite losing, they made a total of $1.01 million making them the show’s most successful contestants.
These days, the sisters are running their own design business and have also launched their own hand and body products called Al.ive Body.
Dea and Darren Jolly
In season 10 of The Block, history was made when Darren and Dea walked away with the most amount of prize money the show has ever seen.
The couple earned $935,000 in profit, and after the show, flipped and sold a worker’s cottage in Victoria for $2.9 million.
Sadly, the two are no longer together and announced their separation in September last year.
