The tenth installment of the Australian reality TV show The Block, named The Block: Triple Threat, debuted on Tuesday, 27 January 2015 on the Nine Network. Returning to their roles were hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft, along with judges Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze, and Darren Palmer.

For this season, producer Watercress purchased a three-story block of flats built in the 1970s, located at 27 Darling Street, South Yarra, for $5.7 million. The plans involved transforming the property into four townhouses facing north, some offering views of the city skyline.

Among returning players were former contestants Darren and Deanne Jolly from The Block: Glasshouse. They competed against popular fan favourites Bec and George Douros as well as Perth duo Kim Owen and Matt Di Costa for the chance to re-enter the competition. Meanwhile, six new pairs underwent elimination rounds to secure one of three spots alongside the returning couple to renovate the South Yarra apartments.

Dan Reilly, who previously appeared in seasons 5 and 6 as a skilled carpenter and builder, returned this season in the role of apprentice foreman ('foreboy'). He assisted Keith Schleiger by sharing foreman duties after reports of fatigue affected the previous season’s foreman.

Former Contestants

In The Block: Triple Threat, three former couples vied for a single returning position:

A new judging system was implemented this season, where in addition to The Block’s official judges, three property buyers also evaluated and scored the rooms each week. The top-scoring teams earned cash prizes to apply toward their apartments.
