THE BIGGEST EVER
BLOCK FEUD EXPOSED
‘WE’RE WORSE
AWAY FROM
THE CAMERA’
The warring
couples
aren’t
holding
back!
I
t’s early days on The
Block, but explosive
arguments and
confrontations have
caused lines to be
drawn in the sand between
rival teams Ronnie and
Georgia and Elyse and Josh.
When New Idea speaks toboth parties, the tension
is obvious and neither is afraid
to express how they really feel.
‘We’re always bickering,’
Ronnie admits. ‘We’re very
vocal and we’re always arguing,
but it’s how we make decisions.
We’re even worse at home,
away from the cameras.’
Georgia adds that
arguing is normal for
the couple of 12 years.‘I don’t care if there’s five
people in a room, I say what’s
on my mind so we can figure it
out and move on,’ she reveals.
Struggling with their new
rivals, Elyse admits she’s not the
biggest fan of the WA couple.
‘They’ve got a different
way of thinking to us. We
always knew there’d be one
couple that would stir the
pot,’ Elyse, 24, explains.
‘They’ve come out
and said they’re here for
the money and that’s it.
They’re playing the
game. We’re not about
that. We’re about being
kind to others and
giving a helping hand
when needed, becauseone day we might
need it back.’
Ronnie and Georgia
see things differently.
‘With Josh and
Elyse, there’s a big age
difference,’ Georgia says.
‘You do see a difference
in maturity because there’s
a lot less life experience there- [Elyse is] 24 and [we are]
34 and 41 – there’s almost 20
years age difference there.
‘They think we’re a bit silly
for being so competitive and
being so focused on the game.’
But with three kids back in
Perth, the couple is here to win.
‘Everyone will go to the pub
and have drinks, we’ll stay home
and research, get a good night’s
Elyse was
left in shock
by her rivals. The model
wants to avoid
