HGTV’s Rock the Block is no stranger to high-stakes design drama. But fans watching Season 6 are calling out more than just bold paint choices. Recent episodes have led to a lot of chatter online. Fans think something might be wrong between designers Alison Victoria and Michel Smith Boyd.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed the duo rarely appear on screen together. “They frequently are working in separate areas and calling out to each other off camera,” one fan pointed out. Another added, “Even their confessional scenes look like they were filmed separately and stitched together in editing.”
Viewers also noticed how physically distanced the pair stood during group segments. “It was like COVID social distancing all over again,” joked one social media user.
Rock the Block: Something Off-Screen? Viewers Cry Foul Over 48-Hour “Challenge” Setup
The controversy doesn’t stop at awkward body language. Fans are now questioning the very structure of the show.
“They clearly shot that mudroom weeks before it ‘debuted’ in episode two,” a user observed. “It was in the background of their kitchen reveal!” Another added, “We’re supposed to believe Michel did all that original artwork in two days? Come on.”
Even the infamous “Wayfair Truck Rush” is under scrutiny. One fan vented: “I’m sick of them pretending this is all happening in real time. The whole 48-hour format is a joke.”
Rock the Block: Living Wall or Living Nightmare?
The criticism reached new heights when the duo unveiled a moss-covered “living wall.” What was meant to be a nature-inspired focal point became a target of ridicule.
“It’s horrendous. That thing will die in two days in Utah’s dry air,” one viewer wrote. Another sarcastically added, “Is it supposed to come with a mold warning label?”
Others worried about the wall’s practicality. “Kids will pick it bald,” joked one fan, while another chimed in, “What happens when parts of it start turning brown?”
Rock the Block: Alison Victoria’s Reputation Reignites Debate
While Michel Smith Boyd has earned praise for his creativity, Alison Victoria remains polarizing. Known for her bold designs and strong opinions, the designer is no stranger to criticism.
“Alison has been on Rock the Block three out of six seasons. She knows the judges. It’s not fair to other teams,” said one viewer. Another added, “She’s arrogant and difficult. It’s like she doesn’t want to collaborate at all.”
Even her fashion choices got attention. “Still wearing those same high-heeled boots? Girl, get a whole glove,” one user posted, pointing out her on-screen cold-weather attire during the outdoor challenges.
Rock the Block: Is the Winner Already Decided?
Adding fuel to the fire, many believe Alison is being prepped for the win. “She said she always wins kitchens, and then she did. Every winner has made a comment foreshadowing their victory,” a user claimed.
Fans want real estate pros to take over HGTV’s celebrity judges. It looks like trust in the competition’s authenticity is fading quickly. “Just let them design and bring in appraisers to evaluate. No more fake judging,” one viewer declared.
