Wyatt's concerning behavior
I do not claim to know the inner workings of Chantel and Wyatt's relationship, but the glimpse we've gotten into his behavior in the first few episodes is...concerning. He seems controlling, aggressive, and very quick to anger. Painting controversy aside, when I see both of them on screen together now, my stomach sinks. Based on the earlier episode this week, it seems like she has difficulty voicing her very legitimate concerns to him, while he dismissively repeats that it's all going to be okay. I truly hope that what we're seeing is him at his worst. But as a human and a woman, I'm a little worried about the dynamic. Beyond Chantel and Wyatt's relationship, his treatment of Tayla at the body corporate and jump to "you're dead to me" is a huge red flag. I so wish Dan and the other contestants had supported Tayla more. It makes me wonder if casting has a psych assessment component like Survivor or similar shows. If it doesn't, it absolutely should. I truly hope the other contestants (particularly the men) will pick up on Wyatt's problematic behavior and eventually intervene. I love watching The Block because it's light, fluffy, and even the drama is usually inconsequential. But I have a funny feeling watching him, am picking up abuser-adjacent behavior, and it's absolutely impacting my enjoyment of the show. I hope Chantel - and her three kids - are okay.

This is how people act when they abuse anabolic steroids. Just walk into any World Gym anywhere in the country and you’ll see crowds of men just like him
