The Block: Georgia calls Tanya and Vito ‘fake’ over gift hamper peace offering

Tensions explode on The Block as Georgia Caceres calls out Tanya and Vito Guccione for being ‘FAKE’ after they sent her a gift hamper


Tensions reached an all-time high on Wednesday’s episode of The Block.

Georgia Caceres called out Tanya Guccione for being ‘fake’ after she sent her a gift during the kitchen renovations.

Tanya and her husband, Vito, decided to send all the other contestants a fruit hamper to wish them luck – but it seems their rivals weren’t quite ready to forgive them after the infamous whiteboard cheating scandal.

But Georgia and and her husband, Ronnie, weren’t impressed by the gift and accused the Gucciones of not being ‘authentic or genuine’.

‘So it was interesting this afternoon when we received a fruit basket from Tanya and Vito as a gift,’ Ronnie said.

‘I don’t understand why they are giving us gifts. The messaging is confusing because if we were on the street, Tanya would walk past me and ignore me,’ Georgia added.

‘Just be who you are – with cameras on and cameras off. Just be genuine, authentic, and organic and you’ll get more out of life. That’s where I’m at,’ she continued.

Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie were also unimpressed and returned Tanya and Vito’s gift.

A producer walked into the stylish grandads’ home as they were renovating, holding the fruit hamper.

‘Hey, Mark. I have a hamper from you. This is a gift from Tanya and Vito. Good luck with kitchen week. Everyone is getting one,’ she told them.

‘No, thank you,’ Mark said firmly, to which the producer replied: ‘You don’t want it?’

‘No, thank you. No,’ he said again, before returning to work.

The Block teams were evidently still annoyed at the Gucciones – and Tanya in particular – after they were implicated in a cheating scandal early in the season.

Tanya admitted weeks ago to having been sent a photo of the show’s production schedule, which gave her an advantage over the other contestants.

She and Vito weren’t the only team punished for rule-breaking, with Josh and Luke Packham also being docked two points for exploiting the schedule.
