BETTER watch your back Scott Cam. There's a new knockabout Aussie tradie ready to step into your shoes.
Dale Vine, The Block veteran and landscaper, has won over fans of the renovation show and Channel 9 executives have the 32-year-old from Geelong earmarked for other TV shows as well.
Vine competed with partner Sophie on the 2012 edition of The Block and immediately grabbed attention with his laid-back slacker charm.

That popularity has jumped to a whole new level on The Block: Fans v Faves where Vine is paired with another former contestant Brad Cranfield.

Vine — shown here modelling some new looks from Myer instead of his characteristic shorts and thongs look — has turned into the show's sensitive new age guy, wowing the judges with his styling — everything from art to flowers to fluffy cushions — at the old Dux theatre in Melbourne's Albert Park.
A fun 'bromance' has developed between Vine and Cranfield who have overtaken twins Alisa and Lysandra Fraser in popularity.
Vine, in particular, has shone in front of the camera. So much so that Nine admits it is considering him for other TV projects.
"Audiences love Dale and it's clear that he's become quite a natural in front of the camera," a Nine spokesman said.
"He also has great comedic timing, which resonates both with our older and our younger viewers. Should a suitable show come up, we'd be happy to take a look at Dale."

Vine is taking the new-found fame in his stride.
"At the moment I'm pretty happy just cruising as a landscaper but if it (another TV opportunity) came knocking I'd definitely entertain it for sure," he said.
"Anything with a bit of humour in it (would suit me). Any contestant on a reality show would say Getaway because they go on free holidays all the time but I think their books are already full of talent."
The Block was this week drawn into controversy, when contestant Steve O'Donnell sounded off on social media, complaining he'd been made to look "mentally deficient".
Vine had some solid recommendations for O'Donnell.
"My advice to contestants of reality TV shows would be not to use social media as a venting source if you're not happy with how you're coming across on TV," he said.
"Then again, probably don't apply to a renovation show with no renovating experience if you don't want to appear inexperienced. Steve and Chantelle are both great people and lots of fun, but they're not going to be winning any construction industry awards. They would be first to admit that."
Vine is hoping his construction skills will help he and Cranfield get top dollar for their Albert Park apartment when it's auctioned in April.
Experts already have the four apartments pegged at upwards of the $2 million mark apiece. Dale and Sophie pocketed $355,000 from the sale of their South Melbourne terrace.
"Sophie and I were able to buy a home with the first lot of prize money," Vine said. "Now I can hopefully win some more money to have a crack at doing few things (renovations) to it.
"That would be the dream — to get a bit of coin to continue working on our own place."
