One line during last night’s final of The Block has seen host Scott Cam accused of ‘casual sexism’.
The 55-year-old host made a remark to contestants Bianca Chatfield and Carla Dziwoki during their live auction.
As their apartment reached a bid of $2,982,500, Scott joked: "Not bad for a couple of single girls, aye!"
The Block fans on Twitter leaped on the comment, labelling it sexist.
Is it me or does Scott Cam come across as a bit of a sexist? #9TheBlock

He sure does. He can't believe a couple of single gals can function without a man let alone renovate an apartment!

Still, while his words were a little poorly chosen, we have no doubt Scott did not intend to cause offence.
Bianca and Carla's north-facing penthouse sold for $2,991,000, taking home a profit of $301,000.
The show's 'villains' Sara and Hayden took the top spot on the show, walking away with a $545,000 profit.
