Lift the Ban on hipages for The Block Contestants


Lift the Ban on hipages for The Block Contestants
The issue
The Block banned hipages and honestly, we’re not coping. 😵💫
For six glorious seasons, hipages has been the secret sauce behind last-minute tile jobs, miracle kitchen installs and the occasional "oh no, we forgot the plumber!" moment. Now? Banned. Gone. Ghosted. Why? Because we apparently make things “too easy.”
Right. Heaven forbid tradies show up on time and do a good job on national TV. 🙄
Let’s be real — hipages wasn’t doing the renos for them. It just stopped contestants from spending three days begging Uncle Kev to install a vanity. We helped them focus on the good stuff: bold design, tight deadlines and Scott Cam’s judgmental stare.
Removing hipages hurts everyone:
👷 Contestants, who now have to become HR managers overnight
📺 The audience, who get less “wow” and more “uh-oh”
🔧 Tradies, who miss out on showing off their skills to the whole country
This isn't a ban. It's a renovation handicap.
So we say: enough is enough. Let’s bring hipages back and restore balance to The Block universe.

💪 Help the contestants.
🛠️ Free the tradies.
