The Block's Dan and Dani: We're not here to make friends

<i>The Block</i>'s Dan and Dani: We're not here to make friends
"We are competitive, yep, I definitely agree with that," Dan says. "But are we the most competitive? I don’t know."

After bagging the first room reveal, Dan and Dani are out to win The Block.

Over the years we've seen our fair share of super-competitive contestants on The Block – Josh and Jenna, Gav and Waz, and Erin and Jake, to name a few. But could this year’s Dan and Dani be the most take-no-prisoners team we’ve seen to date?

While many of the other contestants took time out in the first few days to get to know their neighbours, it was straight down to business for the competitive duo, who admitted from day one that they had their eye on the prize. "[Making friends] isn’t our main priority," Dan admits. "It's to win the show." And if that means their neighbours and some viewers don’t warm to them, well, so be it. "We are who we are – if people don’t like us, oh well," Dan says.

"We're not going to hate you for it, but we’re not going to go out of our way to please you." After the first few days, their fellow neighbours had an inkling the couple at Number Four were totally focused on winning. "Dani is probably the most competitive. She is very secretive – but nice about it," says Dale. "The others don’t care about telling you what’s going on, but they like to keep things quiet."

"We are competitive, yep, I definitely agree with that," Dan says. "But are we the most competitive? I don’t know. We have been slammed for it, but I’m pretty sure there are two or three others who are every bit as eager to win as we are."

These two are poor sports. In fact, they are just cheats, pure and simple. I hope they come in last. Karma has a way of finding people like these two.

When I got into my high school years I became angry at him for what he had put me through and barely talked to him. But one day I realised he had changed his ways, and there wasn't any point being angry anymore. We now have an amazing relationship and I can't imagine life without him.

I really do think the Spice Girls were very inmature and silly young ladies, but they were not nasty and vicious like those 2 Cabramatta girls. Fancy them saying after they did not win at the Sydney markets that they would have done a better job of making the Vietnamese Pork Rolls, that the brother and sister team won in that challenge. Sophia and Ashlee must have seen green that day, with smoke coming out of their ears. SUFFER. Obviously you both think you can do better, but the public that came for lunch at the market didn't think so. You live and learn.anniepoo, Melbourne10 CommentsPost commentView comments Who wore it better Kim or Robin Williams?Who wore it better Kim K or Robin Williams?Kim's dress is disgusting, WAY too much floral print. If the dress was sleeveless with a lower neckline and a bottom hem that finished above the knee, it may have looked a little better. It looks like she threw grandma's curtains over her and walked out the door!!Chantelle, Sydney10 CommentsPost commentView comments Charlotte Dawson: I'm 47, he's 23 - so what?Charlotte Dawson: I'm 47, he's 23 - so what?You go girl, live while you can, but remember that when you are 71 your beautiful boy will be just 47......Bobbie, Sydney6 CommentsPost commentView comments Children as young as four attending 'preschool proms'Children as young as four attending 'preschool proms'Are you darn well kidding, ur bringinging kids up to show off...no wonder most end up on the stripper poleru4real, hunters hill5 CommentsPost commentView comments
