Rachel Carr makes up one-half of the more fortunate pairs following last night’s The Block finale. She and her husband Ryan left with $169,000.85 – the second-highest profit of the night- after their property was purchased off the market.
The Block winners Omar and Oz left with a whopping $1,686,666.66, Tom and Sarah-Jane left with $20,000, and the other two couples, Ankur and Shannon and Dylan and Jenny, didn’t meet their reserves so they left with nothing.
However, despite their lucrative winnings, Rachel seemed visibly disappointed after the auction, on The Block finale. Facebook users pointed this out in a private group called The Block Banter AU, 2022 Tree Change, and Rachel snapped back at the criticism.
“I’m probably the best person to speak on my own feelings,” Rachel told one commenter who questioned why she wasn’t happy with her profit.
Rachel continued, “I was shocked with everything happening and knew a lot was riding on us making sure we got passed in before a bid went over reserves. Negotiations took at least 20 mins after that. There was lots of overwhelming emotions. Happiness definitely wasn’t there yet… but I was grateful that we got an end result and that it was the amount it was.
“It’ll take some time for me to feel happiness when I have 6 friends who received very little or nothing. But | am grateful for what we had. That won’t be taken away from me by someone who doesn’t know me at all,” she concluded.
In the past, there have been The Block properties that haven’t sold at auction. However, all of the properties have gone on to sell off-auction for over the reserve price.
