Block viewers condemn Scott Cam for fueling a ‘gossip session’ with two participants: ‘He sounded petty and pathetic’
On Monday night’s episode of “The Block,” host Scott Cam invited the winners to a private meeting to enjoy a few drinks with him.
Winners Leah and Ash joined Scott at a small country inn in Kyneton so they could get some advice from him for the rest of the competition.
However, some viewers were disappointed when the meeting turned into a “gossip session” about the other participants – and this was apparently fueled by the moderator.
It all started when Scott said he worked with contestants Steph and Gian and that they were “confident.”
Leah, who clashed with contestant Steph throughout the competition, agreed, adding: “Oh yeah, I think she can do absolutely anyone’s style.”

The host was intrigued by this comment and then asked, “Really?” Tell me more!’
Then things got a little awkward when Ash replied, “She’s an acquired taste, Steph.” She’s like one [redacted] Cocktail.’
Leah then said that the five other couples in the competition were “weird.”
She said, “Here’s the thing.” We’re down a rabbit hole, you’ve got five odd couples – and I don’t mean strangers, I just mean odd – and we’re all living together. You can’t all be best friends.’
Winners Leah and Ash joined Scott at a small country inn in Kyneton, where they were able to pick his brain and get advice for the rest of the competition. However, some viewers were disappointed when the meeting turned into a “gossip session” about the other participants – and this was apparently fueled by the moderator (all pictured).
Scott laughed off the couple’s comments about the other contestants, adding: “That’s fantastic, I love the rumors.”
However, he let Leah and Ash know that he wouldn’t pass on their comments to the other couples, adding, “And what happens at Scotty dinner stays at Scotty dinner.”
Many viewers took to social media to express their disgust at Scotty and encourage the couple to gossip.
One person wrote: “He really embarrassed me!” “He sounded petty and pathetic.”
While another said: “Had some respect for Scotty… but it’s gone out the window. “He sold his soul to the ratings… why would he even talk about Ash and Leah’s bullying!”

Scott laughed off the couple’s comments about the other contestants, adding: “That’s fantastic, I love the gossip.”
And a third commented: “So they’re having a dinner with Scotty where they can pick his brains and all they’re going to do is bitch about everyone else on the show… good!”
Other viewers said the host owed the other contestants an apology for fueling the gossip session.
“I would be disappointed if Scott Cam doesn’t apologize for encouraging Leah and Ash’s bad behavior,” one viewer wrote.
“You can’t be friends with everyone, but you can remain polite and neutral and as a host that’s your job. “Disappointing.”
