Fans have criticised The Block 2024 for continuing to mention Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey after their sensational exit.
During the September 9 episode, the controversial couple quit the show due to mental health struggles.

However, during their stint on the show, fans took issue with Paige’s mistreatment of Jesse, with some even labelling their relationship as “domestic and emotional abuse”.
Despite the duo walking off the show, they’ve been mentioned continually. And fans took to social media to call this out.
“Anyone else sick and tired of hearing references to Paige and Jesse?” one netizen wrote to Reddit. “Every recap is about them leaving… Can’t we forget about them?”
A second fan agreed, stating they were sick of the “never-ending” narrative about how the team was “robbed,” whilst another said: “They’ve thankfully gone. Can we forget them?”
Fans accuse The Block of supporting ‘borderline domestic abusers’
Viewers on Twitter shared the same opinion, claiming they were over hearing about the problematic pair.
Another stated that Nine was supporting “borderline domestic abusers” by incessantly mentioning Jesse and Paige.
