The Block’s Kylie and Brad Bake sensationally returned to the series on Sunday night in time for auction day after the mother-of-four vowed she would never return to the Channel Nine show.
In another surprising move, the teams also chose to keep details of their home’s reserve price confidential from other competitors.
The couple left the set of the series last week in spectacular fashion, with Kylie unleashing a foul-mouthed tirade before disappearing into the night.
In recent weeks, Kylie and her husband Brad saw their seven-year marriage implode in midair when the Cairns-based trader told fellow contestant Mimi Belperio he would ‘follow’ her Onlyfans account if he had one.
In a dramatic run-up to the final round of judging on Sunday night, tensions reached a boiling point when Kylie ordered her team to stop working just hours before the latest reveal and quit the show.
The couple’s return on Sunday night sparked fierce reactions from fans, with many wondering why they were allowed back on set.
On X, formally known as Twitter, fans expressed their concerns about Kylie and Brad’s continued participation in the show.

“Kylie and Brad should be disqualified and the profits shared between the traders,” one user exclaimed.
Another user added: “The fact that they were allowed to return simply lowered the behavioral standards of future contestants.”
‘That behavior should have been used as an example that it will not be accepted’
It seems that the Bloc is really becoming MAFS,” they added.
“So Kylie and Brad have come crawling back, obviously looking for the possible $$$,” another viewer wrote.
“They shouldn’t be allowed to win anything, what the (expletive),” another joked.
“The producers are really taking advantage of it,” one more wrote, before adding: “Fark Kylie and Brad are back.”
On X, formally known as Twitter, fans expressed concern about Kylie and Brad’s continued participation in the show.
Kylie and Brad exited the show last week in spectacular fashion, with Kylie unleashing a foul-mouthed tirade before disappearing into the night.
‘Damn it, everyone leave it. “I want everyone to leave, I’m not kidding,” he instructed, before telling Brad to “get them out. GET THEM. OUT. Tell them to leave, I don’t want their help,” he said on the show.
Brad, having no other choice, relayed his orders to his stunned tradies, who reluctantly packed up and left.
Explaining her decision, Kylie stated, “I feel like everyone is against us.”
The next day, when host Scott Cam called for “low tools” for the last time, Kylie was noticeably absent from the celebration.
In an emotional confession on camera, she shared that she and Brad initially joined The Block for a “vacation,” adding, “We’re always working, we’re always parents.”
She revealed that unlike her husband, who runs a “very successful” business, she lives “paycheck to paycheck” and was hoping to make some much-needed money from her time on the show.
After a grueling week, Kylie and Brad received criticism from the judges, who noted that their front yard looked unfinished.
Shaynna Blaze noted that the outdoor area required “more thought and planning,” while Marty Fox commented that it felt like it had been “overhauled.”
A tense exchange broke out between Kylie and Scott Cam during feedback.
“Alright, let’s finish,” Kylie chimed in as Scott read the judges’ critiques.
When Scott responded, “I’m not ending this… this is part of the deal,” Kylie quietly muttered, “I hate this guy…”
The feedback session concluded with a frustrated Kylie dismissing the criticism as a “fucking joke.”
The drama continued when the judges revealed their scores and Darren Palmer awarded them a seven out of ten.
Disillusioned, Kylie fumed: “I’m leaving, I’m not dealing with this s**t,” before ranting at her fellow contestants, claiming they “don’t even need money.”
“I need to come home and make money,” he said. “I’m wasting my time here… it’s as simple as that.”
The explosive episode reached its climax when the results placed Kylie and Brad in fifth place with 26 points out of 40.
As the other contestants celebrated the week’s winners, Courtney and Grant, Kylie immediately stormed out, followed closely by Brad.
A frustrated Scott Cam attempted to call them back, only for Kylie to threaten to “break the damn camera” if the crew continued filming her.

With her dramatic exit, Kylie sealed her promise to boycott auction day, even if it means losing any potential profits from her time on The Block.
Baker split from her husband Brad on national television last week, following his flirtatious comments to Mimi Belperio.
The couple, who share four children, saw their relationship implode when the plumber, 32, told Mimi he would ‘follow’ her Onlyfans account if he had one.
Kylie sensationally quit the show after the flirtatious exchange and flew home to Cairns, only to return to the Phillip Island construction site on Wednesday to leave her traditional TV husband.
“If I gave up, we’d walk away with nothing, so whatever we get, even if it’s 10 grand, I’ll take half of what you get and then I’ll leave your ass, you.” “I can have your damn house and I’ll go to hell,” he sensationally said on Wednesday night.
“I don’t even know if I’ll stay in Cairns, to be honest, there’s nothing there for me anymore.”
“If you treat your partner like that, you can deal with it,” she continued fuming in an argument overheard between the couple, who have been married for seven years.
He added: “My biggest problem is the entire time we’ve been together, and even when we were first starting out, you’ve never flirted with me like that in our entire relationship, so you can only imagine how that makes me feel.”
“I’m sorry,” Brad tried, but Kylie interrupted: “I’m sorry doesn’t solve anything.”
Kylie later admitted that the flirting between Brad and Mimi had been so bad that she believed the pair had secretly slept together behind the scenes of The Block.
‘Why are you talking to him about following his only fans?’ Kylie started.
‘When you said, “I need to go to the bathroom…” I honestly thought you guys came to fuck around and then you were here for a long time.
‘In my mind I feel like something happened. The most important thing was that I already expressed my concerns about her and how she felt about you.
Since Brad couldn’t do anything but listen to his wife hit him, Kyle delivered the final blow.
“You just completely accepted it and completely annihilated our entire relationship,” he said.
‘What you need to understand is that just because I’m talking to you doesn’t mean it’s okay. Just so you know. This is us being separated. We are officially single people.
The controversial couple stepped out on Sunday night in spectacular fashion, with Kylie unleashing a foul-mouthed tirade before disappearing into the night.
