'We feel completely excluded.' Exactly what happened when Kylie & Brad returned to The Block.

The Block's most contentious couple, Kylie and Brad, have finally answered the ultimate question: are they still together?

In the season finale of The Block 2024, the couple returned following a week of confusion for fans (and Scotty Cam), who pondered whether or not they'd even turn up.

Not only did they show up on auction day, but the couple confirmed they are still together following the dramatic flirting scandal that turned The Block on its head.

"So far, we're still together," Brad revealed to producers in the finale. 

"Depends on how auction turns out," Kylie quipped. 

"We'll see how much of it is my fault," he added. 

And that was that! Might've been nice to see Scotty and Kylie have a heart to heart but, hey, swings and roundabouts.

The couple also received some positive news: they were the current favourite amongst bidders. As the teams prepared to face their auction order, it was revealed House 4 had the most registered bidders, with 13.

Could increased interest in Kylie and Brad's home be due to the drama? Fans certainly thought so. And the other Blockheads weren't loving it.

As the contestants debated over auction order, everyone — except Kylie and Brad — huddled together to discuss their ideal line-up.

Courtney and Grant encouraged everyone to put emotions aside and choose an auction order that would benefit the entire group. 

She didn't want to end up with House 4 going first, calling it the 'worst house' and saying they didn't deserve to go in the early slots because they did not finish the final week.

"We feel completely excluded," Kylie told producers. "Now I'm getting the mean girl treatment I supposedly gave to them.

"[The conversation] felt very scripted and I came away from it feeling very attacked."

The group debated how the public perception of Kylie, Brad, and Mimi could impact sales following the flirting scandal.

While they hoped to land on an auction order, the teams eventually went with a lottery as they were unable to agree.

In the end, all five homes were snapped up by Adrian Portelli and all the contestants made a pretty penny (millions of pennies, in some cases).

Kylie and Brad's home sold for $2.6 million, leaving them with $650,000 in profit over the $1.95 million reserve.

"It's literally going to change our lives," Kylie said of their win, admitting the drama had been worth it.

"It was worth it," Kylie said. "Unfortunately I was a different person here, but we made it.

"It's been a lot, we're very grateful."

Looking back on Kylie & Brad's Block scandal.

Kylie's dramatic exit.

After weeks of drama, last Sunday night's episode saw Kylie storm off the set.

"I don't want to come back for auction. I don't want to come back and have to deal with them," Kylie told Brad.

"I need to go home and make money … I'm wasting my time here," she said, after a heated exchange with the judges in which she called Scott Cam an inappropriate name. In the following episode, he announced the couple would not be returning for Week 13.

"It's a really disappointing situation that we've found ourselves in. The competition now is between four houses only. Kylie and Brad are not returning," he said.

Since that episode, fans had been curious to know how the couple fared in the months since it was filmed.

On Wednesday night the couple appeared on A Current Affair to discuss their marital status all these months later.

"We definitely learned some things along the way about just how much we can actually do, no matter what else has happened or is going to happen, we're still here and we're going to keep going," Brad said during the interview.

Kylie replied, "But did I learn anything?"

The duo were also seen together at The Melbourne Cup on November 5, hinting that they seem to be on good terms now.

The full conversation between Brad and Mimi.

By now, we've all heard about the OnlyFans comments between Brad and Mimi on The Block. But new footage of their whole conversation that night has given viewers more intel about what transpired between the two.

While Brad's wife Kylie slept in the background, Brad and Mimi were working on a pool project together, when the conversation took place.

The night was getting late, the time approaching 10pm, when Mimi was heard asking Brad, "When are you going to finish? I want to hang out."

Brad replied, "Yeah, we'll hang out. Go get the wine and some cups. Let's do this."

As well as admitting he would "follow her OnlyFans," Brad shared another seemingly flirty exchange with Mimi later on in the night.

"Brad, if I jumped up would you be able to catch me or am I too heavy?" Mimi asked her fellow reality star.

"No, I'd catch you," he replied.

Kylie left The Block after Brad flirted with Mimi.

Things got heated on The Block, with Kylie making a sudden exit from Phillip Island after Brad's flirty behaviour with Mimi came to light.

Rumours began swirling in the worksite cafe, where Ricky reveals that an incident on Saturday night left Kylie upset and Brad in hot water. Kylie is spotted in the cafe admitting, "I'm broken."

"Now Brad's in a fair bit of trouble," Ricky explained.

Brad later explained the drama to producers, admitting he had been flirting with Mimi late at night, when his wife overheard the conversation.

"I said some pretty inappropriate comments. I was flirting with Mimi … Kylie overheard them, and understandably she's quite upset," he said.

When asked what happened that night, Kylie simply told producers, "Things that made me very unhappy."

The scene cuts to Kylie, who has packed up her belongings in the car and is ready to flee. She's on the phone to her mum. Her mum asks, "What, he was bitching about you to other people?"

Kylie responds, "Pretty much," as her mum added, "Well, it's happened before and it will continue to happen."

Kylie added, "Yep, plus flirting, plus talking really inappropriately… How many f****ing chances have I given him? Time after time."

Scott Cam later confirmed that Kylie had gone AWOL from the job site.

"We found her car, microphone, Block phone, all the high vis. We've done everything we can to locate her, and she's not been seen," he said.

Brad later discovered her car abandoned in a carpark with scissors on the front seat, which offered him a clue: "They won't let you take them as carry-on."

Before making her hasty exit, Kylie left one last video on her Block phone to say she would not be returning: "I'm going home, and I can't say I'll be returning. You can talk to Brad about the details, but unfortunately, I can't do it anymore."

Brad appeared devastated as he spoke to producers.

"I'm embarrassed, and I feel sorry for other people having to live with my choices. She's the last person I want to hurt – her or my kids or my family. But I managed to do it anyways. There's no way this is going to go away or get better. It's done," he said.

Brad added, "I'd very much say that I've just single-handedly destroyed my family."

Kylie gave Brad an ultimatum.

Scott Cam offered Brad a glimmer of hope, announcing, "I've spoken to Kylie, and she's coming back tomorrow."

But Brad quickly realised her return didn't mean reconciliation. When he nervously handed her a coffee, Kylie fired back, "If you hand me that, I'm going to throw it at you."

The tension on The Block went up a notch after Kylie's return, following Brad's flirty behaviour with Mimi. In a fiery exchange on Wednesday's episode last week, Kylie laid down the law.

"If I gave up, we'd leave with nothing. So, whatever we get, even if it's $10k, I'm taking f**king half of what you get and I'm leaving your arse," she told him. "You can keep the house and I'm f**king off. I don't even know if I'm staying in Cairns to be honest; there's nothing there for me anymore."

Her pain was clear as she explained why Brad's comments about Mimi — including saying he'd follow her OnlyFans account — hit so hard.

"Do you understand what was said and what I heard? Do you even know what you spoke about?" she asked Brad. She added that on the night in question, Brad and Mimi had also disappeared together for a long time.

"In my mind I feel like something happened but my biggest concern is I had already voiced my concerns to you about her and how she feels about you and you've just completely gone with it and completely annihilated our entire relationship," she said.

Kylie's final words to Brad made her intentions clear. Though they'd work together until the show wrapped, she declared they were "officially single people" going forward.

Meanwhile, tension simmered on-site as the contestants regrouped.

Kylie avoided Mimi, with Mimi admitting she felt too anxious to approach her former friend. "If I get rejected, it'll break my heart," she confessed.

Brad, now visibly isolated, stood alone from the rest of the group in a shot that captured just how far his actions have set him apart.

Mimi shared her side of the story.

The scandal on The Block hit a new peak as Mimi shared her perspective, barely blinking at the drama her interactions with Brad ignited, which saw Kylie make her hasty exit.

"She's always threatened to leave but I didn't think she'd actually leave, especially with two weeks left," Mimi said of Kylie's sudden ghosting of the show.

In a debrief with her mum, we first found out what was said during the flirty exchange that sent Kylie storming out.

"Oh, you know I'd follow your OnlyFans," Brad allegedly told Mimi, within earshot of his "napping" wife.

Meanwhile, Mimi explained her side of the drama to Scott Cam.

"Saturday night, backyard week, I was at Kylie and Brad's house. We were just hanging out, drinking, and we were just chatting and then Kylie went to sleep on the deck next to us," she said.

"I just stayed chatting and maybe there were some comments that were made that came across as flirty.

"I personally felt comfortable in the situation. All I know is that Kylie woke up and that's when it started. That's when I left. It's unfortunate that Kylie overheard, which led her to leaving, which was not anyone's intention," Mimi added.

Kristian went to back up his wife wholeheartedly, saying, "I don't think Mimi should have any regrets about going out and having a good time. It's coming to that time where we're going to have to say goodbye, so she wants to make the most [of] the beautiful people and friends that we've met.

"But in terms of the comment, if Mimi didn't feel uncomfortable about what was said, then I've got no reason to. I'm not that type of partner that's going to be overprotective and you literally haven't done [anything] wrong, you were just sitting there, having a conversation – it's not like you were flirting back."

Since then, it seems Mimi has decided to ditch the booze.

"I've done a lot of work on myself, and in our relationship too," Mimi said on A Current Affair.

"Mimi no longer drinks alcohol anymore, because she's been reflecting on the show and said I don't want to be that person," Kristian revealed on the TV series.

"We can't sit here explaining ourselves to everyone, so I still have a lot of love for Kylie and we've all come out the other end. Hopefully," Mimi added.
