The morning after their phenomenal win on The Block NZ, Lisa Ridout, 37, and Chris “Ribz” Gordon, 34, are bleary-eyed but bushy-tailed after partying all night long. Even though they didn’t get a wink of sleep, nothing can hide their joy.
“Winning $150,000!” Lisa exclaims in delight. “It doesn sound real, but it is real!”
It was a stellar outcome for the couple, who were the first team to go to auction, selling their apartment for $1,340,000 which meant a $50,000 profit. They were followed by Ethan and Sam, who sold but didn’t make any profit. Then Stacy and Adam, and Sophia and Mikaere’s apartments were passed in after they failed to meet reserve – although both were later negotiated and sold for no profit.
As the ultimate winners of the Three reality show, Lisa and Ribz pocketed a further $100,000.
Despite their success, the Wellington couple admit they’re gutted for their fellow contestants. “It doesn’t feel right,” Ribz concedes.
