The Block houses from last season already empty and in disrepair - as shocking million dollar price guides for the 2024 builds are revealed READ MORE: The Block heartthrob Ricky responds to 'thirsty' fan reaction By Kinta Walsh-cotton For Daily Mail Australia Published: 05:41 BST, 19 August 2024 | Updated: 05:49 BST, 19 August 2024 e-mail View comments The Block 2023 saw a record breaking auction with some contestants walking away with life-changing prize money from their gorgeous builds.
