Meet Robby and Mat: Block 2025 contestants

Robby (37) and Mat (41) are best friends from South Australia. Robby is a barber and business owner, and Mat is a hairdresser and stylist.

Mat is known for being a top hair stylist, with a salon called MJ Hair and 32,300 followers on Instagram.

Robby welcomed his son Brooks to the world with partner Alyssa, right before The Block began filming.

The two met 15 years ago in Adelaide when Mat cut Robby’s hair, and they have been best friends ever since.

While Robby is a diehard fan of  The Block fan, Mat hadn’t watched a single episode before appearing on the show, much to host Scott Cam’s amusement. Together, they are renovating House 5.

All House 5’s room reveal scores in one place

Every week, this page will be updated with Robby and Matz’s room reveal results.

Week 1: Main bathroom (1st place)

The boys started with a bang in week one of The Block, taking out the win with a score of 26.5 for their bathroom.

Marty said that, for a week one room, it was “some of the best work I’ve seen” on the show.

Week 2: Kids’ bedrooms (5th place)

The boys came crashing back to reality after their high in week one, coming last in Kids’ Bedroom Week, thanks to a controversial bedhead.

All the judges hated the bedhead – and that was not all.

Shaynna hated the artwork choices, Darren spotted a floor lamp right next to a table lamp, and they all hated the floor mirror, too.

Week 3: Main en suite (3rd place)

After a disastrous kids’ backroom last week, Mat and Robby redeemed themselves thanks to their investment in 3000 travertine tiles.

Marty and Darren both fangirled over the room, but Shaynna was not a fan, calling it underwhelming when compared to the other houses’ more dramatic en suites.

Playing it safe earned the boys a score of 27.25, placing them right behind Emma and Ben.

Week 4: Main bedroom (3rd place)

The boys came in third place again, scoring 25 for their main bedroom.

Shaynna loved the double skylights, while Darren adored the textured paint finish and “Australiana” colour palette.

“As one room, it’s really hard to fault,” said Marty.

While the judges loved the room overall, Marty didn’t like the lack of a fireplace and an island bench in the dressing room. Shaynna was frustrated that the boys placed their four-poster bed slightly off-centre.

Week 5: Living and Dining Room (1st place)

With a massive score of 29.5, Mat and Robby earned the crown this week after they blew away the judges with their grand living and dining room.

It left Marty speechless and earned high praise from Shaynna, noting the chic pendant lights and the dappled sunlight from all the skylights.

Darren loved the conversation pit-style living area, making it the perfect spot for people to sit and spend time together.

“They can market this as the most liveable house on The Block,” said Marty.
