Season chronology

The ninth season of Australian reality television series The Block, titled The Block: Glasshouse, premiered on Sunday, 27 July 2014 at 6:30pm on the Nine Network. Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) returned from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. It is the second season to have five couples appear on the show, instead of four.

The Glasshouse building is at 121-127 High Street Prahran, Melbourne. The building is double the size of the previous season's building, Dux House, and was the biggest block to date. For a first in any block season, not only do the judges vote on the contestants rooms, but the contestants judge each other's rooms. Shannon and Simon Vos were the eventual winners of the show with a $335,000 profit on a sale price of $1.9 million plus an additional $100,000 bonus prize.
