The Block back in 2014 - as peak ratings hover around 1.65 million viewers

The television renovation stress series The Block will be back in 2014 for its eighth series.

Contestant couples are now being sought.

No details are being given as to the location or timing of the series.

"Do you think you have what it takes to compete on The Block?

"Could you spend weeks living in your unrenovated homes? Could you juggle renovating new rooms each week with competing in Scott and Shelley's challenges (all while surviving your neighbours' pranks)?

"Well, you're exactly who we're after."

The Block is looking for "enthusiastic, motivated, hardworking and fun-loving teams of two."

Participants must be aged between 18 and 65, and while previous home renovation experience is an asset, it is not required from both partners.

Successful couples will not be able to work during the shoot period.

It says to email to register interest to apply@mcgregorcasting.com.

Sunday night's ratings saw The Block Sky High as the most watched program with 1.65 million viewers in the five city metro data collected by OzTam.
