The Block viewers slam Scott Cam for fuelling a ‘gossip session’ with two contestants:

On Monday night’s episode of The Block host Scott Cam treated the winning contestants to enjoy a few drinks with him in a private meeting. 

Winners Leah and Ash joined Scott at a small country pub in Kyneton so they could pick his brain and get some advice for the rest of the competition. 

However, some viewers were disappointed when the meeting turned into a ‘gossip session’ about the other contestants – and it appeared to be fuelled by the host. 

It all started when Scott said he was working with contestants Steph and Gian, and that they were ‘confident’. 

Leah, who has butted heads with contestant Steph throughout the competition, agreed with this, adding: ‘Oh yeah, I think she’s confident in absolutely everybody’s style’.

Intrigued by this comment, the presenter then asked: ‘Really? Tell me more!’ 

Things then got a bit nasty, as Ash then replied: ‘She’s an acquired taste, Steph. She’s like a [redacted] cocktail.’

Leah then said that the five other couples in the competition are ‘strange’. 

She said: ‘This is the thing. We’re in a rabbit hole, you’ve got five strange couples – and I don’t mean strangers, I just mean strange – and we’re all living together. You can’t all be best friends.’

Scott laughed at the couples comments about the other contestants, and added: ‘This is fantastic, I love the goss.’

However, he let Leah and Ash know that he wouldn’t relay their comments to the other couples, as he added: ‘And what happens at the Scotty dinner stays at the Scotty dinner.’ 

Many viewers took to social media to share their disgust with Scotty egging the couple on for gossip. 

One person wrote: ‘I was actually embarrassed for him! He sounded petty and pathetic.’ 

While another said: ‘Had some respect for Scotty…but it’s gone out the window. he’s sold his soul to the ratings…why even entertain Ash and Leah’s bullying!’

And a third commented: ‘So they’ve got a dinner with Scotty where they can pick his brain and all they’re gonna do is bitch about everyone else on the show .. good one!’

Other viewers said that the presenter owes an apology to the other contestants for egging on the gossip session. 

‘I’ll be disappointed if there’s no apology from Scott Cam for encouraging the poor behaviour of Leah and Ash,’ one viewer wrote.

‘You can’t be friends with everyone but you can remain polite and neutral and as a host, that’s your job. Disappointing.’
