Is this the most ridiculous splurge ever on The Block?

This week, The Block contestants unveiled their kitchens to the judges and there was one team who broke several impressive records. 

South Australian couple Kerrie and Spence, who were the first team this season to score a perfect score of 30 for their kitchen, not only had the biggest kitchen ever but also the most expensive.

In their safe was several vouchers from Sub-Zero and Gaggenau appliances that allowed the couple to spare no expense when choosing their appliances.

The couple won over the judges with the Sub-Zero fridge-freezer and wine rack they chose that totalled $46,000.

The fridge, which is worth $26,995, has an air purification system based on NASA technology and has the interior air refreshed every 20 minutes to preserve food for longer and reduce food waste.

The $18,995 wine rack holds 147 bottles and not only acts as a cooler but as a guardian against heat, humidity, vibration and light.

The dual-evaporators maintain the appropriate level of humidity to ensure the corks don’t dry out and it has two independent preservation zones for red and white wine.

The judges found it difficult to fault the luxurious kitchen with Darren Palmer praising how the couple had put all the elements together.

“If this was my home I would be pretty damn happy with my kitchen,” he said.

“Execution throughout the kitchen is superb and the lighting is perfect too.”

Complimenting the way the island bench had been styled with fresh ingredients, Shaynna said: “They look spectacular.”

“It’s a bit hard to fault anything,” she said.

Neale Whitaker described their kitchen as heaven for anyone who loves to cook and entertain.

Placing behind Kerrie and Spence on the scoreboard was Hayden and Sara on 28.5 points.

Norm and Jess and Bianca and Carla tied on 26.5 points, while Courtney and Hans placed at the bottom of the scoreboard on 24 points.
