Omar Slaimankhel & Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik were crowned the winners of The Block: Tree Change for 2022 on Sunday night.
The Sydney-based best friends made the largest sum over reserve of all five Block houses in Gisborne South at auction, selling their home for $5,666,666 – taking home a record breaking win of $1.6million.
But fellow co-stars weren’t impressed with Omar and Oz’s win after their millionaire friends got into a bidding war with IT entrepreneur Danny Wallis.

Wallis, who has purchased eight Block properties over the years and spent a total of almost $30 million, didn’t want to let their home go, increasing his bid to the record breaking amount until he won the bid.
‘It puts a massive smile on our faces,’ Oz, 30, told Daily Mail Australia after their win.
However, Omar and Oz’s co-star Jenny Heath claimed the pair wouldn’t have won if their friend didn’t bet.
‘They’ve been hanging out with that guy the past couple of weeks. We know the game they were playing,’ she said.

The pair created a five bedroom, three-bedroom property with one of the biggest draw cards being its resort-style amenities include a solar heated pool, and a full-sized multifunctional court for tennis, basketball, or soccer.

Omar said: ‘It took a while to sink in, but it felt amazing to get a win after the hard work we put in. But it’s very hard seeing others obviously not doing so well’
The dining and living space showcases towering ceilings with exposed timber beams and concrete flooring.
Speaking about their stunning victory, Oz said: ‘We’re absolutely stoked that we took out the win this year – we had a plan and stuck to it.
‘It is a competition, but seeing each team come in after us and not getting the results that they wanted really hurt.’
Coming in second at auction were Rachel & Ryan Carr, who negotiated to sell their home for $4,250,000 – a profit of $169,000. Both pictured
The couple told Daily Mail Australia that will be putting the profits straight into their bank account

‘We’re not spending the money. This is going straight back into our savings,’ added Rachel.
Fan favourites Tom and Sarah-Jane came in third but didn’t bring in big bucks.
They chose to go second in the auction order, but their home only sold for only $4,100,000.99, which was just $20,000.99 above their $4.08 million reserve price.

There was also heartache, with two couples, Ankur and Sharon, and Dylan and Jenny, failing to sell their homes at auction.
Both properties were passed in when they failed to attract a bidder over their $4.08 million reserve price, also both attracting a highest bid of $4,075,000.
Both couples continued to negotiate with their highest bidders after filming, but as of 9.00pm Sunday, November 6, Ankur and Sharon, and Dylan and Jenny, are still open to other offers to buy their homes.

It’s the first time that a Block property has failed to sell at auction since Series 4 in 2011, when the houses created by Josh and Jenna, and Rod and Tania, in Cameron Street, Richmond (Vic) were passed in.
Host Scott Cam said: ‘It was a bittersweet day. We had one incredible high and some crushing lows for our Blockheads, who all worked the hardest I’ve ever seen to deliver these houses.
‘As we’ve seen many times before, we’ll continue to negotiate with interested buyers to sell these homes, which are still on the market. I’m gunning for a positive result.’

Speaking about the shock results, The Block co-creator and Executive Producer, Julian Cress, said: ‘We’re in a very volatile real estate market and we’ve seen large and unexpected interest rate increases, including one just this week.
‘While we had many registered bidders, clearly something has spooked the market.
‘But we believe the properties are of incredible value and we think they will find new owners very soon, to deliver a well-deserved reward for our contestants’ hard work.’
