The Block’s Sharon and Ankur threaten to quit the show as they leave the grounds after a heated exchange with host Scott Cam and Shelley Craft during a “welfare check” at their home
Sharon and Ankur left the set of The Block in tears on Wednesday night, threatening to pull out of the show after a tense social check at their home by host Scott Cam.
During the heated scenes, the couple got over the pressure and drove away from their home in a van.
The couple had a tense exchange with Scott and Shelley Craft about their “attitude” – and it didn’t end well.

“I guess we just stopped, fuck it,” Ankur said to Sharon as they got into a work van.
“I can’t believe they did this to us. Nobody cares about us here,” added Sharon.
Sharon then ripped the Go-Pro camera off the dashboard as they drove off-site, and the pair didn’t return until the end of the episode.

The drama unfolded after they were quizzed on their “stance” by Scott and Shelley after weeks of power struggles.
“The first few weeks were very overwhelming for me personally, I cried every day I was here,” Sharon replied.
A quirky Scott said he needed an “attitude change” because “the people around her weren’t happy,” including her builders and handymen.

Scott said to Ankur: “[You said to Sharon] Don’t worry, seven more weeks of this nonsense and we can get out of this hellhole.’
He continued: “Buddy, no one is holding you here. You can go whenever you want. Nobody is holding you here. This is not mandatory.”
Sharon fired back, saying the pair “didn’t want to quit” but had “encountered difficult challenges.”

“I’m sick of crying about it. I’m not being disrespectful, but there’s a lot of defensiveness in making us feel the way we feel. And that we should just be so damn grateful we’re here,’ she said.
“We are not traders. We do our best to do our job as well as possible. We had problems with our own team. Outside we had problems. There are no problems with the candidates.’
Scott said the couple were asked to remove the trash from the front of their home but it lay there for four days.
‘That’s not fair. It is unrealistic to expect a person to work 72 hours. Liam works hard too, but he’s going home,” said Sharon
He also mentioned that Ankur didn’t help the handymen who struggled to hang the TV and mirror and just lay down on the carpet and watched.
“I’ve been painting all day,” Ankur shot back.
‘That’s not fair. It is unrealistic to expect a person to work 72 hours. Liam works hard too, but he’s going home,” added Sharon.

“We’re still here doing stuff. We don’t sit on our butts and do nothing. We try our best.’
Sharon said the couple felt their reputations were being “pulled through the mud” before Scotty offered any advice.
“I think what you need to do is regroup. Get your whole gang together. Let’s all start over and start over,’ he said.
