Robby and Mat waltzed onto The Block claiming they were the "least experienced".

Even still they managed to bag the first win of the season with their epic Main Bathroom.

That being said, the boys admitted they were a little out of their depths with kids' rooms... and one single decision at the start of the week saw their chances of back-to-back wins crashing and burning.

"It was like a burning plane plummeting to the ground with no pilot and no one to help," Mat said.

Not ideal.

So, were their fears realised? Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought of Robby and Mat's Kids' Bedrooms.

This week, host Scott Cam gave teams a suggested $15,000 budget.

However, Robby and Mat went well above this, spending $24,432 – the most of any team.

"Just remember I'm the messenger," host Scott Cam said before diving into the feedback.

Yikes!

Thankfully, the first room the judges entered was designed for younger children, and had them yelling "cute!"

Shaynna said the room had a great vibrancy and sense of fun.

"I love the doonas, I love the colour on the rugs, I love the birds," she said.

Marty liked Robby and Mat's decision to use Hardie Groove Cladding on their walls, which added a cozy, country feel.

However, Darren did not agree...

He said that decision came at the expense of the painting.

"Whilst I love all of this, and I love all the playfulness of the styling, this detail comes at a cost and they could've managed it with better decisions," he explained.

The judges also noticed a problem they'd also seen in other teams' rooms: the beds are too close to the wardrobes.

Reading the feedback, Scotty said "why didn't you just push the bed over?

"There's such a big gap between the beds, it feels like two kids share the room but don't speak to each other".

Shaynna couldn't help but gush over all the cute details, like these PJs!

The lads' attention to detail in this space really impressed Shaynna, who said she was excited to see what was next.

Little did she know...

Shaynna soon realised her excitement was definitely misguided.

Robby and Mat's challenge bedhead, with its... interesting pajama-esque fabric, is definitely a huge problem.

But it's far from the only one in this space.

"Oh you're kidding me," Marty said upon opening the door...

The judges could not believe what they were seeing.

"It's like walking into an upmarket nursing home," Marty said, in the first of many zingers to come.

"This is the room Nan comes in when she looks after the kids. Oh boys, what have you done?" Shaynna added.
