The sixth season of New Zealand reality television series The Block NZ, titled The Block NZ: Side X Side, premiered on 25 June 2017.[1] It is set in the Auckland suburb of Northcote.[2]
Bernadette Morrison and Jason Bonham, who were the judges in the fourth season, returned this season as the series judges.[3]
There was strong uproar from the New Zealand public as a result of Andy & Nate taking the win at the auctions of this season. Many believed that they "stole" the win from Stace & Yanita by having their house put back onto the market after Stace & and Yanita had secured the win. Andy & Nate earned $31,000 over their reserve in their second auction, while Stace & Yanita had $20,000 and would have won the extra $100,000 in prize money had the fifth auction not taken place.[4]
