EXCLUSIVE: As The Block 2025 gears up for its Grand Finale Auction Day, judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer, and Marty Fox have provided their expert predictions on the potential winners. The much-anticipated event will air on Sunday, October 26, at 7 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now, promising viewers an exciting conclusion to this season’s competition.
With their weekly critiques often leaving contestants on edge, the judges now turn their attention to forecasting the outcome of the auction. According to their insights, the competition is shaping up to be a two-horse race, with Houses 3 and 5 emerging as the frontrunners.
Marty Fox: A Two-Horse Race
Real estate expert Marty Fox believes the battle for the top spot will be between Robby and Mat in House 5 and Britt and Taz in House 3. “I think either Robby and Mat in House 5 or Britt and Taz will take out the win in House 3, and it all comes down to value,” he stated in an exclusive video.
“The amount that the boys have got in the back, but yet the architectural flair and kitchen that Britt and Taz have is very special. So I think they’re the two to watch and my gut says, House 5.”
Shaynna Blaze: Buyer Preferences Key
Shaynna Blaze highlights the importance of buyer preferences in determining the winner. She notes that this year’s buyers fall into two categories: those seeking a dream country home and those looking for a lucrative investment.
“For the buyer who wants to live there, it has to be Britt and Taz,” she explained, citing the home’s inviting entry, chef’s kitchen, and luxurious master wing. “If it is an investor, it has to be Robby and Mat, with features like the underground wine cellar and huge outdoor fireplace.”
Darren Palmer: Points of Difference
Darren Palmer acknowledges the unique attributes of each house, which could influence their auction success. “There are several reasons houses might win this year, from the elevated position and consistency of House 1 to the unobstructed corner outlook of House 5,” he said.
“If I were a betting man, I’d say it would be between House 3 and 5,” Darren predicted.
