Sunday night's episode of The Block: Glasshouse saw contestants Darren and Deanne pocket an impressive $10,000 for future renovations thanks to their nifty eye for design.
And it looks like their lucky streak has continued after the couple were also awarded a bonus prize of $5000 after the Blockheads voted their two rooms as the best on Monday night's episode.
But with all of the voting done before the judges reveal, some teams weren't too happy about the double win and felt that the extra cash should have gone elsewhere.

Winners: The Block Glasshouse contestants Darren and Deanne were all smiles as they won the $5000 bonus prize on Monday night's episode
In a new season twist all of the contestants were required to judge each others rooms to determine a recipient of extra prize money.
But in a bid to avoid strategic voting, this week the scores had to be given before the judges crowned their winner.
Darren and Deanne's second bedroom and study wowed their neighbours and scored them some coin, but the outcome wasn't met with praise.

Disappointed: Brothers Shannon and Simon weren't too happy about the win with Shannon saying it was a kick 'in the guts'
'Kicked in the guts,' said 35-year-old Shannon bitterly.
'I'm not happy that Dee and Darren got another five grand, they're just winning and winning because they've got the cash.'
Despite their unhappy competitors the prizewinners were over-whelmed by their success, with Deanne revealing to Daily Mail Australia on Monday that she was more than pleased.
‘We didn’t really notice if anyone was cranky because we were too busy laughing about the win!’

Sweet dreams: The victory came after fellow Block contestants voted the couples bedroom and study as the best

New twist: In a bid to avoid strategic voting, this week the scores had to be given before the judges crowned their winner
Soon they were all back to work, and the five teams are busy planning the week ahead, deciding how to approach their master bedrooms.
A mammoth Block first challenge is also on the horizon, which will see one team take home what has been described as 'a ridiculous amount of cash' by host Scott Cam.
The challenge will see the contestants open up their own pop-up shop on the ground floor of the Block.
They'll be stocking it themselves with the profits of whatever they sell going directly into their diminishing bank accounts.
The Block Glasshouse continues on Tuesday at 7.30 on Channel Nine.
