Auction: Saturday 24 July at 11.00am Well there is no doubt about it, it has been a very turbulent time for Jason and Kirsten. But they know it was all worth it, especially today — auction day.
"I think I would do it again, but I don't think Kirsten would, no," says Jason.
The ballot Jamie Durie organises for each couple to draw a card from the official Block board game to see who goes to auction first. With Kirsten picking the card, Jason and Kirsten discover they are to be second to auction on Saturday, July 24, at 11am: dialup

The hammer fell – second to auction The auction day was kicked off with the announcement of the favourite couple, Matt & Jane, shortly followed by their auction.
There were five registered bidders for their auction and it seemed to naturally progress into what was an exciting auction for Jason & Kirsten.
The opening bid was at $750,000 and very quickly climbed in $5,000 increments back and forth between the bidders.
It very quickly rose to $790,000 and just kept climbing. It was then a battle of the paddles as two eager parties bid on the unit in $500 increments in the hope to secure this buy.
Going once, going twice, third and final call. Sold for $872,000.
The guys were thrilled with this as they had made $77,000 post the reserve. Congratulations to Jason & Kirsten.
Result What a nail-biting experience it was for Jason & Kirsten as their nearest competitor, Jamie & Andrew’s apartment went up for auction. A disappointing $1,000 dollars was the difference to taking home an extra $100,000 but they are certainly happy with their result and very pleased for Jamie & Andrew.
The guys were certainly going to celebrate down at Manly wharf with their family and close friends.
