They didn't win anything on the night, but The Block couple Rachel and Ty have been gifted so much money they've decided to give some of it to charity.
Engaged Wellington couple Rachel Rasch, 35, and Tyson Hill, 36, sold their formerly dilapidated Takapuna do-up for $798,000 as part of
the TV3 reality show at last Thursday's live auction.
They did not make a profit, despite being audience favourites throughout the show, leading to a social media campaign to help them out.
The campaign, led by Brooke Howard-Smith, saw $14,453.22 being donated to the couple.
But on Facebook today, the pair said they weren't comfortable accepting any more money than the $11,000 that fellow competitors Ginny and Rhys won on the show.
