The Block 2025 Episode 16 recap: Defiant Han gets epic dressing down from host Scott Cam

Teams were hard at work renovating their main bedrooms and walk-in robes this episode – but Han was given an extra renovation task by Scott Cam: her attitude. It was uncomfortable viewing, but not as uncomfortable as hearing her berate Can during a painting session. With shades of Paige from The Block 2024, there were f-bombs and shouting late into the night. But more on that later. Mat and Robby have decided to reduce the size of their bedroom to make way for a dressing room in their walk-in robe space, and with Mat now in charge of the budget, were planning to save money by using sponsors and eschewing a fireplace. Ben and Emma were going all out with a custom red marble bench top, fireplace, and custom bedhead with a curved timber surround. They were alone in leaving the layout alone, sticking with the open walk-in robe designed by the architect. Sonny and Alicia have a secret door to their walk-in robe, leading through to their ensuite. Their main suite also featured a gallery entrance, meaning the usually budget-conscious pair are going to be well into the red this week.

And Han and Can are doing another custom curved wall niche, VJ panelling and a bench seat, but once again, it was not happy, Han. As Can was out trying to pick tiles for their extra challenge room (a treatment space at the nearby Hepburn Springs spa hotel) she was once again near tears at being second-guessed. 'It's literally impossible to try and keep you happy,' she told Han on the phone. Then it was on to an argument about whether to put a TV in their main bedroom. There's some doubt over whether the TV Can had ordered is an 'art TV', which can be disguised as a painting when not in use, so Can is considering allowing for TV connection points but just placing an actual artwork on the wall instead, which was possibly a wise move given some of the judges seem to disapprove of TVs in bedrooms. But Han exploded at Can as she was giving an interview explaining her thinking. 'If it's their f**k up, Can, you don't just accept it. You tell them to go and get it. There's a big hole in the wall now!' she shouted as Can begged her to stop swearing. But it was Han's turn to be berated when Scott Cam and Shelley Craft arrive for their weekly room progress check. Cam was spitting chips that Han had the previous day accused foreman Dan of stitching her up and performing for the cameras when he discovered she had moved some joinery without his approval. The move would have necessitated the cutting of the concrete slab, which was not approved by the site's structural engineer. 'Han, I heard some other people saying that you're accusing us of stitch ups and doing stuff just for camera, which I've told you many many times, we never set you up to fail and we never stitch you up. We help you along the way,' he told her as Shelley stood awkwardly by. 'You're making decisions that are affecting you. You made those, decisions not us. We made changes to your laundry and your pantry waste, we let you cut some concrete for one waste but we didn't approve and we won't approve the second one. You're not a builder so don't make decisions that are going to affect your build and don't accuse us of stitching you up and doing things for camera because we don't do that. 'I'm going to ask you really nicely to readjust your attitude on the show to the crew and to Dan and to me and everyone around you.' Han, looking like a defiant teenager being told off by a headmaster, was still convinced she'd done nothing wrong. She believed she had gone through the right channels and blamed a miscommunication between herself, her trades and the site supervisors for the situation. 'I don't give a f**k, honestly,' she told her building team after Scott and Shelley left. But by the time she next saw Scott, Han had realised getting on the wrong side of the show's host was probably not a smart move. While not quite providing a full-throated apology – mainly due to the fact she still believed she'd followed the rules – she acknowledged she could have dealt with the situation better. 'I didn't mean to disrespect anyone,' she told Scott, who accepted her apology and hugged it out. 'It's not that now I've got an attitude and hate everyone here,' Han said later. 'It was situational, and I made that clear and apologised. I'm sorry for saying that. I was self- reflective.' But then there was another opportunity for self-reflection, as the cameras caught her and Can fighting as they painted their room. 'Honestly, I'm never going to watch this show back if it's just you yelling at me,' Can told her after a shouting match over whether to paint or caulk first. The whole thing gave definite ick.
