The former fan faves give their verdict the team’s kitchens.

They’re the former Block stars known for their big personalities and bold style – and Mitch and Mark didn’t hold back when they shared their verdicts on the 2025 season’s kitchen reveals.

Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, the pair shared how several of this year’s contestants made some serious design errors when fitting out their culinary spaces – with two decisions labelled “a disaster”.

But there was another issue at play, with the design pros explaining how a fundamental decision to have the main bedroom door coming right off the kitchen was a huge error.

“That’s a design fault that the contestants had to try and work around, not their fault, the designer’s,” Mitch explained.

Even so, some teams did it better than others.

“Your home had a lovely, warm country vibe to it,” Mitch said, “but the bedroom with a fridge right next to the door, that’s a disaster, guys.

“And also think about when you’re giving up all this overhead kitchen cupboard space. You’re losing storage.”

House two – Han and Can

“I loved the white and you had a lot of room between the dining table and the kitchen, which is fantastic,” Mark enthused.

But he didn’t like the curved range hood the pair had chosen.

“You lose space, you lose storage, and I think it’s going to date very quickly,” he explained.

House three – Britt and Taz

“At first glance, guys, your home is beautiful,” Mitch said. “Your home is beautiful. Your kitchen is beautiful, the living area is beautiful, but when it comes to functionality, that kitchen is just not functional.

“It’s all about the look and not about the function, and the fact you have to walk right through the kitchen to get to the bedroom door. Guys, you kind of got it all wrong. It needs to work, not just look good.”

House four – Sonny and Alicia

“Country warm, felt a lovely place that you wanted to be in, and I think it would work very well for a cook,” Mark said of the pair’s kitchen choice.

“But it doesn’t have a real wow factor, and you could use a great pendant light to really lift and elevate that space.”

House five – Robby and Mat

“You brought it to town this week, sophistication and country charm in bucket loads,” Mitch gushed of the pair’s kitchen.

“And you guys know how to style a room. You’re winning in the styling stakes, guys, but that gimmicky door thing with the shelves in it, that’s a disaster.

“Replace it with a normal door.”
