Former cricket captain Brendon McCullum has chipped in to help the Block NZ's Ling and Zing, donating $100 to the losing team.
On Twitter, McCullum posted a digital receipt from Givealittle, with the caption "Hand the hat around for Ling & Zing".
At least two Givealittle pages have been set up for the reality TV show's contestants.
One Block fan calculated Ling and Zing would have made about 48 cents an hour working on the show - between them.
