Of all The Block attendees this year, hard-working Sarah-Jane and Tom seemed to land the worst deal at auction.
During Sunday’s The Block finale, their property had a reserve price of $4.08 million and sold for $4.1 million, meaning they went home with just $20,000 for their efforts .
And the couple, who spent their life savings to get on the show and now have to sell their Ford to make up for the loss, have demanded a second chance to appear on the show so they can finally get their “payday.”

Sarah told Chron Australia that Tom loved The Block so much he “would be right back”.
“I didn’t win so I would come back. I want my payday,” she said, adding that she would need to win well over $100,000 to make it worthwhile.
Fans have also demanded that the pair “deserve another chance at The Block.”

‘So sorry for Tom and Sarah-Jane. One of the hardest workers in The Block’s history and they get little in return. They definitely deserve another shot at The Block,” one tweeted.
“You have worked very hard. Keith said Tom got up first thing every morning and went to work. Whether people like them or not, if fairness matters to you, you would agree they’ve been hit hard by them and robbed of their winnings,” said another.

Someone else wrote: I know people don’t particularly like Tom and Sarah-Jane, but I’m sure you’d agree that was bullshit.
Meanwhile, other viewers believed Sarah-Jane and Tom’s real estate agent was responsible for the somber sale.
“The house only sold for $4,100,000.99. Only $20,000 profit. I knew Belle was the worst real estate agency in Australia. Never use them,” said one fan.
The Block couple have now made the difficult decision to sell their Ford vehicle to make ends meet after clinching a murky profit on their home at auction.
“Unfortunately for Tom, we will be selling the Ford,” they told their 35,000 followers on Instagram on Sunday.
Fortunately, they managed to find the silver lining, adding: “We had the experience of a lifetime and we can tell our grandchildren about it.”
