We take a look behind the hi-vis to meet the teams.

They’re the superstars of The Block 2020, the teams out to transform five run-down houses into high-end homes, but how well do you know your Blockheads?

 

Sarah and George

They’re the young Sydneysiders who took on The Block to challenge themselves, but Sarah (27) and George (33) have another mission for The Block 2020 – they want to have fun.

Sarah and George, The BlockSarah and George are all about challenging themselves and having FUN!

“Although we’ll take The Block very seriously, I think we’re going to just embrace the whole experience for what it is and enjoy ourselves at the same time,” Sarah says.

“Going on The Block you’re granted the opportunity to experience something not many people will ever do in their lives. So, I think when it gets hard, we’ll just remind each other that it’s not forever, so just embrace it, get on with it and enjoy it.

“We love to have fun and we’ll just be us!” says Sarah.

But don’t underestimate this team, they both say. George might have an awesome Pokemon card collection and Sarah still loves finding the laughs in everything she does, but they’re also in it to win it.

“We know it’ll be very challenging,” electrician George says, “It’s one thing to work on a construction site where you can come back and finish the next day if you run out of time, but if you don’t finish on The Block, you don’t reveal a room. We don’t want that!

“So, we’re not just here for the LOLs, we’re also here to show we belong and we’ve got what it takes.”

Fun fact: George recently sold a complete set of Pokemon cards to buy a new motorbike.

Luke and Jasmin

When chippy Luke (35) first met his wife Jasmin (36), he’d just come back from the adventure of a lifetime. A crew member on a deep-ocean fishing boat, he’d spent months at sea, including in the sub-Antarctic waters and was back in Perth to decide what he wanted to do with his life.

When he saw Jasmin across a crowded room, he says, he knew what he wanted was to spend his life with her…  and the two have been sharing adventures ever since.

“Jas deferred her teaching degree to come and live with me in Brisbane for a year, then once she completed her course we moved to London where she taught while I learned to build,” Luke says.

“And when we wanted to start a family, it was back home to Perth for that great adventure.”

Tackling The Block, Jasmin says, is just another challenge the pair wanted to try.

“We’re not people who like to just sit down and plod along,” Jasmin says. “The Block is hard and challenging, but it did look like something that between our skillsets we could have a go at!”

And what can viewers expect to see from Team Western Australia? “We won’t give up,” Jasmin says.

“We’re a solid couple, we’re a solid duo. We have fun along the way, but when the going gets tough we don’t give up!”

Harry and Tash

As the first dad-and-daughter team to take on The Block, Harry (57) and Tash (33) say they have one big advantage over the other couples – they know exactly what each other is thinking.

“We’ve known each other for longer than any of the other teams,” laughs Tash, “In fact, I’ve known Harry all my life!”

It’s unbreakable bond the pair say and one that will get them through The Block no matter what challenges are thrown at them.

“If you’re going to do this, you want to do it with someone you know is definitely going to have your back,” Tash says.

“Don’t get me wrong, we’ll have disagreements along the way, but we’ll always work it out.”

They have to Harry jokes, because: “you can’t divorce your kids, you have them for life!”

IT manager Harry is an enthusiastic home builder and handyman who is happy to turn his hand to any challenge, while social media producer Tash has the eye for style they’re hoping will get them to the top of The Block.

“With The Block you haven’t got time to procrastinate, so we’ll stick to our strengths and just get on with it,” Harry says.

“And I’m lucky, Tash is my daughter but she’s also my friend. I respect her decisions.”

Jimmy and Tam

Fit, fast and filled with a determination to win, Queensland couple Jimmy (33) and Tam (31) are the team with no off switch.

Jimmy and Tam, The BlockJimmy and Tam were married in 2018 at the local bowlo where Tam works.

“We’re both really hard-working people,” says bar manager Tam. “Jimmy is just go, go, go and because we’re quite competitive, once we start, there’s no stopping.”

And what they plan to start, Jimmy says, is a house unlike anything seen on The Block before.

“I think we bring a different look to The Block,” says the plumber. “The style Tam has is something that’s never been here before, things won’t be black and white, we’re bringing colours people won’t expect and our unique style, with hidden doors, quirky design ideas and more. We’re here to shake things up.”

Happy to live with the “quirky Queenslanders” label, Tam says it’s her aim to show Australia you can think outside the square when it comes to renovating.

“We’re not going to play anything safe,” she says. “We want to show people what we’re capable of and what they can do with their homes as well.”

Providing the can match Jimmy’s energy, that is.

“I do like to keep busy,” he says. “I’m not one to procrastinate or stand around and hope someone will do something for me, I’ve always had the attitude of just get on and do it yourself.”

Daniel and Jade

For South Australian farmers Daniel (35) and Jade (34), taking on The Block is all about pushing themselves outside their comfort zone.

Daniel and Jade
Our hardworking farmers Daniel and Jade are on The Block to help their family financially.

As parents of three, including a young daughter who has struggled with health problems all her life, they often ask their kids to take on challenges and learn from new experiences.

And if you’re going to ask that of others, says hairdresser Jade, you’d better be prepared to do it yourself!

“The Block is going to be a huge challenge!” she says. “We’ve watched every episode, but we don’t know what to expect really, we don’t know who we’ll be up against, what the challenges will be… we can’t wait!”

Living on a farm, the pair have faced droughts, bushfires and more, learning how to build, renovate or repair almost everything that makes up a home along the way.

With those skills and a clear vision of what they want to create, Team South Australia is out to turn their Block home into a high-end luxury property fit for one of Australia’s most sought-after suburbs.

And anything that gets in their way? They’ll just work through it.

“Every day you learn something new and as my parents say if you don’t learn one thing, you learn two,” Daniel says, “So, we’ll just take it in our stride”.

Daniel and Jade weddingDaniel and Jade got married on the farm 12 years ago when the crops were looking good before the devastating drought.

Fun fact: Growing up in rural South Australia, Daniel and Jade have known each other since high school.
