The Block 2022
NSW Best Mates
Omar & Oz
Best mates Omar and Oz are proud family men wanting to make a difference for their kids. While they haven’t renovated houses together, both have been around the construction industry. Omar has worked in demolition and Oz comes from a construction background. “We are Muslim and I am Lebanese, but I am Australian Lebanese,” Oz said. “I’m a proud Australian and I want to show what two Muslim Aussies can do.”
The boys can be jokers who light up the room, but there is a real competitiveness to them. They will hustle on The Block like few can and be serious threats from the outset.
“People will think we are just two boys from Western Sydney who have no taste, but I’m telling you that we are the WOW FACTOR The Block is looking for!” Oz said.
