|---|---|
| Season 11 | |

| No. of episodes | 47 |
| Release | |
| Original network | Nine Network |
| Original release | 6 September – 25 November 2015 |
| Season chronology | |
The eleventh season of Australian reality television series The Block premiered on 6 September 2015 on the Nine Network. Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) return from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. The first preview was shown on August 4, 2015.[1] This season was also known by the name The Block: Blocktagon, but was the first since the second season to not include the season title on-screen.
Production
Nine renewed The Block for an eleventh season in April 2015, with production commencing in May 2015. The season was announced as going 'back-to-basics' after ratings declines during the tenth season, seeing episodes cut from 90 to 60 minutes, fewer episodes, the eliminations will be removed and Thursday night episodes dropped.[2][3]
Filming for the eleventh began on 15 May 2015. The season renovated the former Hotel Saville in South Yarra - an octagonal, eight floor brick building.[4]
Co-creator Julian Cress said that this season of The Block will have no tradies and only passionate do-it-yourself couples, in other seasons of The Block, at least one person in each team has a trade. The change comes in the new direction in the back-to-basics change to the season, he said viewers will relate more to the characters who are big on spirit but small on skills when the show returns later this year.[5]
The Blocktagon building is now listed in the international list of Octagonal Buildings & Structures.

Controversy
On 10 November 2015, it was reported that contestant Suzi Taylor had collapsed on set, a Nine Network spokeswoman Victoria Buchan said: "Suzi was suffering from exhaustion after a busy day with The Block open for inspections.",[54] but on 12 November 2015, Ms Taylor had a photo captured of her naked on a boat after oaks day in Melbourne,[55] it had then been reported that her collapse was caused by "non-stop partying" throughout the Spring Racing Carnival and not exhaustion, due to this Ms Taylor "canned" by Nine with all her promotional commitments being cut off until after the auction.[56][57]
Ms Taylor has since been threatened to lose her payout of $174,500 after ignoring the terms her contract which states she shall not undertake any media interviews without the program's consent until her contract with Channel Nine is up.[58]
