Emma and Ben set the bar extremely high this week on The Block.
Heading into Kitchen Week judging, the couple said: "We want to win the CommBank prize, first place and we want to win three 10s."

Their plans were ambitious but they'd put themselves in the best position to achieve it with top end appliances and their secret weapon – a blast chiller that chills drinks ice cold in just one minute.
Would Emma and Ben have what it takes to win the Room Reveal let alone all three prizes?
Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought about their kitchen...
The high school sweethearts were "really proud" of their kitchen.
"I think it's very homely. It's warm and cozy, and I feel like it's classic. It's beautiful," Emma said of their hard work.
Walking into the space, the first thing the judges noticed were the massive changes Emma and Ben had made to their living room.
While it was Kitchen Week, the couple endeavoured to also redo their living room after hearing the judges' feedback.
Shaynna approved saying "you saved this house".
Onto the kitchen…
On first impression, Shaynna adored the colour palette.
"Colours are divine. Everything they've selected is off the charts, amazing," she praised them.
Marty agreed, saying the colours "felt Daylesford" but still had a "modern twist".
As always, real estate guru Marty was thinking about the marketability of the space and thought it would "shoot beautifully" for campaigns.
Looking out at the view, Marty believed that buyers would "get very excited over the elevation" of the house.
That's a feature none of the other houses could boast about.
Shaynna was loving the simplicity of the kitchen and the styling and noticed the benchtop was "one big slab" with "no seaming whatsoever".
Emma and Ben ticked all the boxes when it came to top of the line kitchen appliances.
Coffee machine, two ovens, two wine fridges and an "insane" blast chiller.
So far it was all positives until Darren noticed something to be seriously concerned about…
