They're fast becoming the couple to beat after scoring top marks with the public on Monday, taking home the pop-up shop's top profits on Tuesday and winning Wednesday's food truck challenge.
And while winners Maxine and Karstan might be grinners it appeared that the losers were very sore indeed.
Pitted to create a stylishly sustainable pop-up dining space at Melbourne's Queen Victoria market, each couple was assigned a different world cuisine to theme their designs around.

'Half wits are winning s***!' The Block's Dee rants about getting treated as 'average like the rest of them' after Max and Karstan win the food truck challenge on Wednesday night's episode
Quietly confident that her beautifully styled Italian eatery was about to score her top marks Deanne was less than impressed to find the judges had sided with Max and Karstan's Mexican themed space.
While the others celebrated the win and the end of the challenge, Dee couldn't bear it any longer and stormed off to vent her frustrations at her football playing husband Darren in the car.
Worked up and letting off steam she laid into the other team's design.
'Seriously they had palates and hay bales and they called it stylish. Are they taking the piss?,' she lamented furiously.

Let's go! Dee didn't wait around to celebrate but instead stormed off with her husband Darren in tow

Are they taking the piss? Dee was not expecting Max and Karstan to win, especially after her Italian-inspired eatery was given high praise
'I'm just not going to f***ing try in the challenges, what's the point?', she ranted continuing her soliloquy while Darren sensibly bit his tongue.
'We're getting treated as if we're just f***ing average like the rest of them - now they're making those half wits win everything and they've got no style.
'Half wits are winning s***.'
Dee and Darren weren't the only couple to feel the disparity between the winners and losers with Simon exclaiming, 'Stuff me they win everything these days'.

Winning streak: Karstan and Max scored top marks in the food truck challenge for their fiesta-inspired Mexican space
While Michael smirked: 'I think Dee in particular thought she was going to win that one.'
Meanwhile, dancing in a Mexican sombrero winner Maxine declared the day 'the best ever'.
The teams were given five hours to create five gastronomic spaces for the food trucks arriving at the market and their efforts were marked by Joost Bakker a sustainability expert, designer and eco warrior and regular Block judge Neale Whittaker.
Brothers Simon and Shannon had chosen to represent Australia in the challenge creating a sustainable space that featured red dirt, tree stumps, a recycled barbecue and a lone koala bear.

Meanwhile Carlene and Michael were applauded for creating the feeling of 'a real Vietnamese night market' with the judges loving their up turned woks planted with greenery and kitsch block seatings.
Chris and Jenna's American-inspired diner was praised for its 'friendly' feel with Joost impressed with their rack of herbs, which had all the ingredients for fried chicken.
Meanwhile, Neale said of Dee and Darren's communal Italian space 'styling wise it says generosity, bountiful, abundance' as he invited them to style any Italian-themed party he had.
But it was Max and Karstan's colourful fiesta-themed space that really caught the judges' eye with Joost in particular impressed with the use of the sustainable straw bales.

While friends might have been lost and won on challenge day it wasn't the only tensions of the day.
Brothers Simon and Shannon butted heads over the designing of their kitchen space arguing about whether to present the room at this week's reveal - or as Simon wished - wait and rethink the layout properly.
Pulling down a wall they'd had installed the previous day it looked like older sibling Shannon may have won the war as he called back kitchen gurus Good Guys to redesign the space for a third time.
Tune in on Thursday at 7.30pm to find out how the situation is resolved.
