The Block Kylie and Brad Baker sensationally returned to the series on Sunday night in time for auction day.
In another shock move, the teams also opted to keep details of their home’s reserve price confidential from other competitors.
This change in protocol sparked fierce reactions from fans, with many questioning the fairness and transparency of the competition.
The Bakers, who became a focal point of viewer outrage following their involvement in the infamous ‘flirtgate’ scandal, were allowed back on the show despite mounting criticism.
The scandal erupted after Kylie was accused of using flirtation as a tactic to gain favours from the tradies on-site, creating a rift not only with other contestants but also within the show’s fanbase.
The couple’s return has ignited fresh waves of backlash, with fans flocking to social media to vent their frustration and call for stricter rules.
On X, formally known as Twitter, fans voiced their concerns over Kylie and Brad’s continued involvement in the show.
‘Kylie and Brad should be disqualified and the profits shared between the tradies,’ one user exclaimed.

Another user added, ‘Being allowed to return just diminished the behavioural standards for future contestants.
‘That behaviour should have been used as an example that it will not be accepted’
The Block really is turning into MAFS it seems,’ they added.
‘So Kylie and Brad have come crawling back obviously for the possible $$$,’ wrote another viewer.
‘They should not be allowed to win anything, what the [expletive],’ quipped another.
‘The producer’s really are milking it,’ wrote one more, before adding: ‘Fark Kylie and Brad back again’.

Kylie and Brad walked out of the show last week in spectacular fashion, with Kylie unleashing a foul-mouthed tirade before disappearing into the night.
The couple – who broke up on the show after her husband shamelessly flirted with fellow contestant Mimi – resurfaced earlier this week at the Melbourne Cup.
At Flemington Racecourse, they were even spotted mingling with Mimi, sparking speculation that the ‘flirt-gate’ feud may have been overblown.
The hairdresser and her husband sat down with A Current Affair on Thursday night ahead of Sunday’s auction and hinted that viewers haven’t seen the last of them yet.
‘We just want everyone to come away from this with something achievable and a good result,’ Kylie told journalist Seb Costello.
Elsewhere in the interview, the couple reflected on their tumultuous time on the show.
