The Block season 2

Jamie Durie returned as host from the first season as did judge John McGrath.

The series was again set in Sydney, although in the suburb of Manly rather than Bondi where the first season was located.

[4] Two original contestants, Dani and Monique Bacha, left the program in January 2004, two weeks into the second series, when it was reported that Dani had spent six months in jail in 2002 following his conviction for a drug-related offence and Monique's grandfather had died.

The couple decided it was best to leave in order to protect friends and family.

[5] Andrew Rochford and Jamie Nicholson replaced Dani and Monique Bacha.
