Kristy and Brett Beams‘ The Block 2023 landscaper has roasted the couple in a rogue radio interview after their on-screen blowup.
The October 22 episode saw the self-confessed pot-stirrers come to blows with their landscaper, Dan, over several issues during backyard week, which included a forgotten plant order and two tonnes of unwashed pebbles being delivered.
Kristy and Brett sought advice from their builders and rival landscapers, which went down like a lead balloon.
“Why am I even here?” Dan asked Kristy, to which she responded: “I’m thinking the exact same thing at this point.”
Following the episode airing, Dan called into The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick to express how “disappointed” he was with the outcome of his working relationship with Kristy and Brett.
“They’re very much players of the game and they’ve made that very clear that they like to play the game,” he said.
“I think what happened in landscape week was they saw an opportunity to throw me under the bus to get their relationship with them and their builders back on track.”
Dan added: “This is worst case scenario that we got dealt, and credit to the boys [his team] to actually finish that backyard and get it done because it was horrible.”

Dan also noted that the judges’ negative feedback pertained to the finishing touches in Kristy and Brett‘s backyard.
“They have two and a half hours on the Sunday morning to go around and clean… And they just didn’t,” he explained.
“Those small little bits and pieces are what the judges look for and they just weren’t there. And I think for me, that’s what I was disappointed about.”
Dan continued: “The boys put a lot of work in, got it over the line, and just the small little finishes weren’t there. But they’re obviously not going to put that on TV.”
As for the future of The Block, the landscaper said he won’t participate again.
“For me, this is my livelihood, you know what I mean? So you want to twist things and turn things, all that sort of stuff? This is my business,” he shared.
“This is not only negative publicity for me but for my subcontractors as well, so it’s a lose-lose and I don’t know if they realise that or if they care, but that’s not fair.”
