He’s faced off against fellow Blockheads Luke, Josh, Tanya and Vito – now Mitch Edwards has sparked a fresh feud with The Block Australia judge Shaynna Blaze, accusing her and her fellow judges of belittling the contestants.
“Shaynna has a wicked tongue,” Mitch, 58, tells Woman’s Day. “She continues through the whole season. It doesn’t sit well when you’re willing to make nasty, hurtful comments that seem to be for your own self-elevation.”
In recent episodes, viewers have seen Shaynna, 58, blast the team’s work as “weird” and “so wrong”, while fellow judge Neale Whitaker, 59, deemed their renos “dangerous”.
In fact, Mitch says he’s downright “uncomfortable” watching the show this year because he feels that Shaynna, Neale and co-judge Darren Palmer, 43, “seem to be grandstanding to keep themselves alive on The Block and keep the audience interested by making silly, unfounded comments”.
He goes as far as labelling their behaviour “bullying”.
