On Sunday The Block houses went to auction and a controversial decision, which saw Andy and Nate's house, which was initially passed in, was sold for the highest profit at a shock second auction that no one expected. They effectively snatched the win from Stace and Yanita.

Since then, The Block losers, Ling and Zing, have had a Givealittle page set up for them - as well as Stace and Yanita.

What are your thoughts about this season's win?
Do you think the Givealittle pages should have been set up for these two teams?

Stace and Yanita's page has raised approximately $2,400, while Ling and Zing's page has raised over $18,300.
