Rock the BlockSeason 6 finale aired onMay 26, 2025, andMichel Smith Boydmade history by becoming the first two‑timeRock the Blockchampion(he also won Season 4 in 2023). This time, he was paired up withAlison Victoria, and together they beat three other duos to claim the title. It was a big win, especially for Victoria, who had competed twice before without securing the title. On paper, this was a dream team with the dream result.
But the Season 6 finale did not just crown a winner. It ignited a firestorm of speculation that went far beyond design choices. Throughout the season,fans had noticed subtle cues of tension between Boyd and Victoria, and rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud continued to grow. Since the finale,Boyd has made cryptic public comments that seem to address these rumors.
Why Do Fans Think Michel Smith Boyd and Alison Victoria Do Not Get Along?
Ever since the secondRock the Blockchallenge, viewers noticed a shift in how Boyd and Victoria interacted. It felt likeVictoria was taking more creative control and sidelining Boyd. By the last competition, it barely felt like they were working together at all. Their spaces didn’t flow, their designs didn’t connect, andthe teamwork just wasn’t there. It was as if they were building two different houses under the same roof.
On finale night when the big win was announced, viewers were expecting at least a high-five or a celebratory hug between the champions. But Boyd and Victoria hugged everyone around them (some of them multiple times) butnever hugged each other once. They didn’t even go near one another.In every group shot, they stood on opposite endslike magnets repelling each other. Onefan on Redditsummed it up best: “If you look at it when all the groups are together, they’re about as far away as two people can be and be in the same room.”
Michael Smith Boyd Responds to Feud Allegations in Cryptic Instagram Comments
OnMay 27, 2025,Boyd shared avideoof himself prepping for a solo watch party for theRock the BlockSeason 6finale, and someone commented, “Congratulations! But time to spill the tea, what’s up with you and Alison?” Boyd just replied to the comment with a cheeky laugh and a tea emoji. Then, onMay 30,2025,Boyd followed up with a more polishedpostcelebrating the Season 6 win. The carousel included a few photos with Victoria, butshe was completely absent from the caption. No tag, no name, not even a nameless mention.
Fans immediately questioned what had happened between the two. One commenter asked, “I just wish you and Alison got along. It’s evident she sidelined you, and I’m sorry to see that.” Boydreplied to the comment with a prayer hands emoji. Another follower wrote, “It looked like Alison & Michel weren’t too friendly with each other the last half of the season — they didn’t even look at each other when they won.” This time,Boyd shifted focus to the win, replying with, “when they won.”
Is Boyd Shutting Down the Feud Rumors or Fueling Them?
At the very least, Boyd has acknowledged the elephant in the room. His replies to fans show thathe’s aware of the growing chatter about a possible riftwith Victoria. But whilehis responses don’t directly confirm the rumors, they do not deny anything either. When one fan mentioned how he and Victoria didn’t even look at each other after winning, Boyd didn’t offer a warm memory, a kind word, or even a neutral explanation. Instead, he simply shifted focus to the fact that they won.
It’s likely that Boyd and Victoria simply didn’t mesh wellas teammates. And that’s not uncommon in a pressurized environment likeRock the Block. The stress of competition and cameras can naturally lead to interpersonal friction, even among professional colleagues who might otherwise get along. Whether the feud was real or just a rough patch edited into something more dramatic, Boyd clearly wants to move past it.His calm and calculated responses reflect professionalismand help avoid controversy, even if things behind the scenes were less than perfect. So far, Victoria has not commented on the feud allegations.
