The Block 2019’s El’ise Bothe had a surprisingly empathetic perspective on Elle Ferguson and Joel Patfull sensationally ditching the 2022 Tree Change season.

While El’ise and her husband Matt Bothe now reflect fondly on their own The Block experience, they received a significant amount of trolling when their season aired in 2019.

So, it makes sense that the reality star spoke out against the onslaught of hate that Elle and Joel received after they ditched The Block 2022 just two days into filming.

“You don’t want to be there, you go, no questions attached. Good on ’em for having the guts and the courage,” El’ise told the Daily Mail Australia on August 25.

“The first thing that I teach my children is if you’re in a situation that you don’t feel comfortable with, you get out. You leave,” the 35-year-old added.

The Block 2019’s El’ise Bothe Believed Elle Ferguson and Joel Patfull Are a “Positive” Influence

She went on to say Elle and Joel leaving early on in the competition should have been seen as a “positive” because the influencers were able to recognise their own personal boundaries.

El’ise pointed out that her perspective wasn’t limited to contestants ditching a reality TV show — and not gonna lie, she does have a point.
