Last week marked our couples' 50th day on The Block, so we thought, what better opportunity to take a look back at their time so far?

When we first met Dani, 26, and Dan, 28, from Melbourne, they were the energetic and determined young couple who (after being briefly outsmarted by petrol flap) bested Brad and Courtney in the Red House Elimination Challenge to earn a spot on The Block.

Since then, they've proven themselves as The Block's most competitive couple, and one of its strongest designing forces, frequently racking up massive point scores come Room Reveals...

"Having to do what we do in a week... it's massive," Dani reflects. "It's such a massive task, but it's so great at the end of it, like, everyone has this big sense of, 'What are we doing? This is really cool.'"

Biggest controversy: To avoid presenting an incomplete main bathroom, Dani and Dan's tiler was caught cutting tiles in the early hours of the morning... outside Father Bob's church. "Dani, for the first time that day, said to me she didn't want to be here," Dan says.

Choice quote: During the first week, Dani shot down Dan's complaints with, "Harden up, it's one late night, there's probably going to be another 10 weeks of late nights. There's a whole bag of cement outside, Dan, do you want me to fix you a drink?"
