It’s no secret Ankur and Sharon have had the worst time on The Block 2022.
While Tom is telling anyone who’ll listen that he doesn’t want it to end, the pair in house three are counting down the seconds to when they can leave the show in their dust.

Sharon claims Ankur has lost 13 kilograms, and Ankur says they’ve got PTSD from being dressed down by Scott Cam every time he and Shelley Craft visit their house.
The pair also claim they have the only builders who refuse to work extra hours and Saturdays to get the job done. Now they say they’re facing the same issues with their landscapers.
While Ryan and Rachel’s landscaping team are staying overnight at their house in order to work late and start early, Sharon says her team “weren’t totally invested in this build. I don’t know why they signed on. It feels like they can’t be stuffed.”
It doesn’t help matters when Keith discovers the pergola the landscapers have built wobbles like a card table because they’ve used the wrong brackets.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Rachel and battling one another. When Ryan blithely admits during a joint interview that he changed their deck Rachel is dumbstruck.
“Who decided this?,” she demands.
“Everyone,” is Ryan’s response.
“You and I are the contestants. It’s been 12 weeks of me saying stop making decisions without me. You haven’t even consulted me and you’re talking to me like I’ve done something wrong.
“You’re talking to me a bit aggressively,” Rachel rages as Ryan looks like he’s praying for a sinkhole to open up beneath him.
It’s a week of barneys, as Sarah-Jane blows up at Tom for similar reasons. When his builders told him they hadn’t budgeted for building a set of stairs from his deck he decides not to bother with any, closing it off with balustrades instead. Sarah-Jane is livid, and strikes a side deal with her landscaper for him to build her a staircase, provided she can come up with the materials.

Knowing her Block bestie Rachel built a similar set of stairs, she asks if she can use their leftover timber because she’s out of cash.
Rachel is about to hand it over, until her builder and Ryan step in, pointing out she’s about to give away about $500 worth of materials.
“I don’t fall for that at all,” Ryan says. “Number one, this is our design and two, you have 30 landscapers in today. If you’ve got no money, send 10 of them home and you can buy yourself some stairs.”
And it seems Ryan was wise, because when Sarah-Jane can’t wheedle free timber from her mate, she goes out and buys it instead, and soon has a matching set of stairs from her deck to the ground. So much for being out of cash.
But if Sarah-Jane was lying about being poor, it’s not the biggest lie told on The Block this week.
That one come from Ankur.
As Scott Cam and Shelley Craft do their final walk around of the season she asks him “Was it all worth it?”
“Absolutely,” is his reply.
