The Block NZ is back on TV3 for its fourth season, and this time the teams will be tackling a whole new challenge: Villa Wars!

Four new DIY duos are putting their toolkits to the test this season: Sarah and Minanne, Brooke and Mitch, Cat and Jeremy and Jamie and Hayden.

We chatted to each of them about their teamwork tactics and their strategies for the show!

The Block: Villa Wars premieres Tuesday September 29 at 7,30pm, on TV3.

Sarah and Minanne

Sarah & Minanne: Sister duo Sarah and Minanne Kong are the first all-female team to tackle The Block, but don’t let their tiny frames fool you! “We are lacking the grunt, but the advantage for us is we can make styling decisions together,” says Sarah, 23, who holds a master’s degree in industrial design.

Jamie & Hayden

Jamie & Hayden: Former police officer Hayden Campbell and sales rep/netball player fiancee Jamie are ready for the challenge, and they hope their originality will win the day. “For him, there is no inside or outside the box,” Jamie says of her fiance. “There simply is no box!”

Cat & Jeremy

Cat & Jeremy: Preschool teacher Cat Glass and ad agency owner Jeremy Hill have been together for five years, and they know The Block can test a couple’s limits. “If things are getting heated, we’ve decided on different cards we can play, like a trump card – if we are really sure about the decision, we can play the card,” Jeremy says.

Brooke & Mitch

Brooke & Mitch: Christchurch couple Brooke Thompson and Mitch Davies have already visited a couples counsellor for “tools and tips on how to work together in stressful situations”. “It was really productive. I’m looking forward to putting what we’ve learnt into action,” Mitch says.
