00:00In a world where far-flung horizons meet spacious skies, one woman
00:07Hey, that's me.
00:10Embarks on a quest to find 15 homes that had one extraordinary thing in common.
00:18And that one woman found one thing undeniable.
00:25Oh, look at this badness.
00:29Ugly knows no bounds.
00:34What on earth?
00:37No matter the eyesores thrown her way, she never wavered.
00:42Oh, for Christ's sake.
00:44She pressed on.
00:46Alright, settle down.
00:48I'll take it from here.
00:49Of these 15 houses, we selected the ugliest home from each region of the country to move
00:55on to the finals for a chance at the $150,000 renovation by Allison Victoria.
01:00We did it again.
01:01In the Great Plains, mirrored mayhem was an off-the-grid collage of chaos that made sure you could reflect on all its ugly.
01:10He didn't want to give us a mirror at the sink, just everywhere else.
01:17In the Midwest, the potpourri of pastels was a colorful explosion with glitter gone wild.
01:24I hate glitter.
01:26Every surface.
01:27I'm afraid to touch anything, because glitter's for life.
01:29In the Ozarks region, the pit-full dingle-dangle row house was a bottomless pit of ugly.
01:36What?
01:37We have taken down thousands of dingle-dangle birds.
01:41Every corner.
01:42Dingle-dangle.
01:43In the Big East, the mish-mash hodgepodge was jam-packed with chaotic design choices and creepy critters.
01:54This is my spider-smashing box.
01:56Oh, God!
01:58And in the Southwest, the D&D castle was a really confusing fortress of hideousness.
02:05Is that Marilyn?
02:06It's supposed to be, yes.
02:08This is rude.
02:10Of these five finalists, only one was the total package of ugly appearance, supreme awkwardness,
02:17and the ability to constantly keep me surprised.
02:20So, where is the ugliest house in America this year?
02:32We're in Bershear, Vermont.
02:35Isn't it gorgeous?
02:36I mean, you are off the grid.
02:39Huh.
02:40I think I say a northern flicker.
02:43I don't think you could say that on TV.
02:46Flicker.
02:47Oh, oh, oh, oh.
02:50Ooh, you ever seen a tufted titmouse?
02:53Okay, I think you can't say that on TV.
02:55The moment you lay eyes on this mishmash hodgepodge, you know you found something uniquely ugly.
03:02It might have been worth the trip.
03:05Unfortunately, this bright beacon of ugly only gets worse as you step inside.
03:10This is hectic.
03:14With a living room featuring a concrete conversation pit.
03:18I look at your couches and I think hemorrhoids.
03:21A discombobulated kitchen.
03:23Oh!
03:24Of course, the monkey cabinets.
03:27A main bedroom you mainly want to stay away from.
03:32This is a thatched roof.
03:34We actually saw a mouse crawling right up it.
03:37So it's not there now.
03:38And no way of keeping the outside from getting inside.
03:42This is more like a house for critters than a home for a family of five.
03:48It's a lot.
03:50But now, that's all gonna change.
03:53Because it's time to put the kibosh on the mishmash.
03:57I'm gonna go around the corner.
03:58I want to scare them.
03:59You're good with the scare.
04:00Of course, I know you do.
04:01I know you do.
04:02All right, I'll meet you over there.
04:03Brooklyn and Dylan!
04:09Hello!
04:11You guys.
04:12I'm so glad that the...
04:15Oh!
04:17Oh, my God!
04:19Oh, that's a big hug!
04:22Oh, wow.
04:24Hello.
04:25I'm not gonna cry, you guys.
04:26Me either.
04:27I just wanted to tell you.
04:28You've got the ugliest house in America!
04:32Oh, my God.
04:33Oh, my God.
04:34Oh, my God.
04:35Oh, my God.
04:36Oh, my God.
04:37Oh, my God.
04:38Oh, my God.
04:39Oh, my God.
04:40Oh, my God.
04:41Oh, my God.
04:42Oh, my God.
04:43Oh, my God.
04:44Oh, my God.
04:45Oh, wow.
04:46I am so excited.
04:47I'm so happy to not have to do all this by ourselves.
04:50Oh, I almost peed a little bit, but...
04:53You guys really do have the ugliest house.
04:57It's very pretty out this way.
04:59Yes.
05:00Just like, what the hell?
05:02Yeah.
05:03Are you married to any of this other than the fact that it somehow is standing up?
05:07No.
05:08Nope.
05:09Got it.
05:10Free reign.
05:11This is one of those, like, let's just take it down to the ground.
05:13We just don't have the money.
05:14Yeah, I was gonna say.
05:15How many people live here?
05:17It is us and then our three boys.
05:19So you got a full house.
05:20We have a full house, lots of animals, kids.
05:22It's a lot.
05:23It's a lot.
05:24It's a lot.
05:25But, like, the land is amazing.
05:26Yeah.
05:27That's the big reason for it.
05:28Yeah.
05:29To be able to give our kids the ability to be in the woods and be kids, you know?
05:33Yeah, be kids.
05:34Okay, this could be very picturesque.
05:37And this is, like, the hangout area, right?
05:39The view's ridiculously beautiful.
05:41Yeah.
05:42We like to do, like, a fire pit or...
05:44This is where the adults come.
05:45Okay.
05:46I want the outside of your home to be as beautiful as the property that it sits on.
05:50So we're gonna get these hideous colors out of here and soften up some of those sharp angles.
05:55Plus, there's an opportunity to really build up your outdoor space with a brand-new, gorgeous patio.
06:01That'd be fun.
06:02That'd be awesome.
06:03Okay.
06:04I want to see inside.
06:05You want to go on a tour?
06:06Do I?
06:07Yeah.
06:08No, I'm good.
06:09Come on in.
06:10Okay.
06:11No, you didn't pick these colors.
06:14We did not pick anything in here.
06:16I don't even know where to look.
06:19Wow.
06:20This is not the best first impression, but the good news is, with a little paint, a little archway, and replacing all this funky flooring and decor, you'll have an entrance worth entering.
06:34Oh, I love these doors.
06:36Where do these go to?
06:37Oh, yes.
06:38Those go to our party bathroom.
06:42Oh, God.
06:44These mirrors, like, are clown mirrors.
06:46Yes.
06:47Do you like this?
06:48No.
06:49Oh.
06:50Okay.
06:51This might be called the party bathroom, but all of it's got to go.
06:54Ceilings, walls, everything.
06:56That way, I can turn it into a refined powder bath with just one mirror instead of a hundred.
07:02God, this can only get better.
07:05Oh.
07:09This is really weird.
07:11The levels, the layers, everything in the concrete is just awful.
07:15Oh, God.
07:16Yes.
07:17What is this?
07:18Cranes, maybe?
07:20I'm not reusing this.
07:21No, don't reuse it.
07:22No, don't reuse it.
07:23Please don't let me.
07:24We do love the trees up there.
07:25We love the trees.
07:26The trees are what kept me coming back to liking this house.
07:29Really?
07:30I just, I love the forest.
07:31Are we tied to this?
07:32No.
07:33Okay.
07:34No, so that's a bad, yeah, you hate it.
07:36We hate that.
07:37Okay.
07:38This room needs a complete overhaul.
07:39So we need to get rid of that ridiculous bird railing, level out these wonky, weird floors,
07:44and give you a floor plan that actually allows for furniture.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Because right now it is just like a, it's a horror show.
07:53All right, let me see this kitchen.
07:58What are these?
07:59These are cool.
08:00The previous homeowner used to build animal furniture?
08:04This is funny.
08:06I'm going to repurpose them.
08:07Okay, cool.
08:08Who cooks?
08:09You cook.
08:10I cook, yeah.
08:11Who's the cook?
08:12And how's this for you?
08:13It's terrible.
08:14There's no space.
08:15If you look at the square footage, we do have a lot of room to work with if I leave the kitchen
08:18in this space.
08:20I'm going to open up this layout.
08:21That way you can actually fit a beautiful island, and of course we'll do all new cabinetry
08:26and appliances, but the star of the show is going to be the hood.
08:31I have a crazy idea that I think you're going to love.
08:34This is a funky house.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Like I could see this being really cool and like fun.
08:39So what is the, what is all this?
08:41That's our bedroom wall.
08:43Yeah.
08:44Oh my God.
08:45Because you can see right through it.
08:46Yeah, it's all plastic on both sides.
08:48Okay, I gotta see this.
08:49I mean it's big.
08:50Yeah.
08:51Okay, so if I have one positive.
08:55Is this Tiki Hut kind of feel?
08:59I think that's sort of what they were going for.
09:01Yeah, sort of.
09:02Can you imagine what's up in there?
09:03I don't want to.
09:04I saw the mouse go up and we squealed.
09:08Because it's up there now.
09:09As soon as either of us wake up, we're out.
09:11Okay.
09:12We're out.
09:13Strictly for function.
09:14We have to take down the ceiling.
09:16We have to give you real walls for privacy.
09:19And it's going to be great to have your own private little outdoor space and hot tub.
09:23And then it finally becomes your own personal oasis.
09:26This is weird.
09:27Yeah.
09:28This is our main bathroom slash laundry slash closet.
09:34Oh wow.
09:36That's ugly.
09:37We can't take a bath in there because spiders climb up out of nowhere.
09:39No.
09:40This is another place where we get in and get out.
09:42That goes way back.
09:43It does.
09:44What is all this?
09:45Our closet.
09:46Let me look real quick.
09:48This is not solid.
09:50No.
09:51No, it's just a...
09:52No, no.
09:53This is solid.
09:54So I could like take it all out.
09:55Okay.
09:56By taking down the walls between the bathroom and the closet, I can give you a beautiful
10:01ensuite bathroom with a new vanity, a freestanding tub, and a shower that you'll actually want
10:06to stay in.
10:07And we're still going to have room for a new walk-in closet where the walls actually touch
10:12the ceiling, making sure you don't have any unexpected visitors.
10:15Cool.
10:16I have a ton of work to do.
10:19You do.
10:20You have a ton of packing to do.
10:21I'm so excited.
10:22I'm excited for you.
10:23So I'm going to go out there and I'm going to start putting it together.
10:26Bye guys.
10:27Bye.
10:28I don't know where to start.
10:29I'm going to start, but I don't know where to start.
10:31This is seriously one of the wildest, craziest, ugliest houses that I've ever taken on.
10:38And six weeks isn't enough time to get through all this ugly.
10:41I have a massive checklist of projects, but I'm always up for the challenge.
10:45And once Dylan and Brooklyn are actually out, we can start demo.
10:48First up is getting rid of that ugly, gross, thatched ceiling in their bedroom.
10:58I'm like, I already want to do the math.
11:01Today, she's debuting a demo with her pink hard hat.
11:08Look at this.
11:11Honestly, best day to wear that on your head.
11:14For sure.
11:15Best day.
11:16You guys, if a mouse...
11:18I will literally throw up while I'm running.
11:22There's going to be stuff in it.
11:23That's the thing.
11:24Who's doing it?
11:25You're doing it.
11:26Of course it's me.
11:27Yeah, I can do it.
11:28I can maybe do it.
11:29You can get in there.
11:30I'll try it, yeah.
11:31I want it gone.
11:32Okay.
11:33Well, Retta and I will watch you.
11:35Let's do it.
11:38Oh, my God.
11:40Stop!
11:41What's on your arm?
11:50What's on your arm?
11:52Really?
11:53I saw Dylan kind of, like, freak out when stuff touched his arm.
11:58Then it just became this domino effect of just full fear.
12:03Oh, my God.
12:05So dusty.
12:06Every rip, I'm waiting for a mouse.
12:08I know.
12:09I'm so nervous.
12:10Oh, God.
12:11Yay!
12:14I'm surprised we didn't see any mice.
12:16I'm grateful.
12:17That's a better word.
12:19Let's get the big guns in here.
12:20Let's get you in a bedroom where you don't feel like how we feel right now.
12:23That sounds wonderful.
12:24Okay?
12:25Let's go.
12:26We only have six weeks to completely transform this house, and no ugly can be left behind.
12:35From the bizarre outside to the crazy inside, every single part of this epic eyesore needs
12:42to be cleared out, leveled out, and thrown out.
12:46And even though we didn't find dead mice in the bedroom ceiling, we're definitely finding them in the walls.
12:52Holy crap.
12:54Mice chew through a lot of the wires throughout this whole house.
12:59And the more we demo, the more problems we find.
13:02Allison wanted to move the shower back, but that's a radon gas vent, and we cannot move that.
13:14I gotta call Allison.
13:16These issues just add to the already massive checklist.
13:24I mean, we've gotta rewire the whole house, give the main bathroom an entirely new layout.
13:29We got setbacks, and we're gonna chip away at them, and a bunch of the other projects on the list.
13:33Like new drywall, framing the new archway, leveling out that living room, and everything in the kitchen.
13:41Transforming this house is a huge undertaking.
13:45But, I'm always up for the challenge.
13:47Look at this!
13:50This is cool!
13:52The fact that, like, you can walk on one level?
13:56Yeah.
13:57I mean, let's be serious.
13:58It's very different.
14:00It's already better.
14:01It's better?
14:04We at least now have a floor plan that sort of works.
14:08I want this to be more than just storage.
14:10I want it to be a fun little kid's room or something.
14:12You know, a little play space.
14:14This all has to get ripped out.
14:16I know.
14:17Why is it still here?
14:18Because I would ideally like to do all metal work, but I don't know what to do yet.
14:23This house is so ugly that it's making me confused.
14:28You know?
14:29This house is making me crazy.
14:31This is not safe here.
14:34My solution would be to bring two steps to get out the new multi-sliders.
14:40This is by no means, like, checked off in my head on the design.
14:44No?
14:45No.
14:46With so many things lingering, I just need inspiration.
14:50And there's no better way to get that than shopping.
14:54And luckily, that's also on the list.
14:58Hello.
14:59Hello.
15:00Welcome to Best Style.
15:01How are you?
15:02Nice to see you.
15:03Hi.
15:04Jill.
15:05Hi, Jill.
15:06We've got a lot of spaces to design.
15:07Absolutely.
15:08Right this way.
15:09I usually come in with, like, an idea.
15:11I have no idea.
15:12The only thing that I'm walking into this design center with that is clear as day is a disco
15:20ball kitchen hood.
15:28Let's find a luxury vinyl.
15:29Because we should just keep all the floor the same.
15:32This is neutral enough.
15:33I don't think we want to go darker.
15:35No.
15:36It's so tiny in there.
15:37We want to show you one thing.
15:38Come here.
15:40How cool would this be as the backsplash?
15:42I like that.
15:43Like, he loves trees.
15:44We have the black and white kind of theme.
15:47It looks really great.
15:48Right?
15:49Yeah, it's pretty.
15:50There we go.
15:51You either come in with something in mind, or something sparks your interest immediately,
15:56and then you're like, okay, I can build from here.
15:59We have a powder bath that they like to call the party bathroom.
16:02Okay.
16:03But we want them to have a new party bathroom.
16:06So, where's your funky tiles?
16:08Funky tile.
16:09Funky.
16:14It's kind of cool.
16:15I like the hexagon.
16:16I don't love that.
16:18I do have one right over here.
16:20Flower power.
16:21This is funky.
16:23This is the funkiest that I've ever done.
16:25Is it?
16:26Yeah.
16:27Disco ball hood.
16:28Maybe.
16:29This heavy black textured cabinet and like a mural of like a farm.
16:33It's definitely different.
16:35This house is so weird that I feel crazy.
16:40But it went crazier today.
16:43And I think it's going to pay off.
16:45Now I'm thinking about it.
16:47It's a lot.
16:48Taking a real big risk on this one.
16:51And I say we because you did it too.
16:54And the hunt for all of the beautiful things continues.
17:01Because this house desperately needs decor.
17:04Hello.
17:05Hello.
17:06Welcome.
17:07Can I have a candy?
17:08Sure.
17:09Okay.
17:10What are we looking for?
17:12I have no idea.
17:15This house is more of a design on the go.
17:18Should we go?
17:20Let's go.
17:22Look at this table.
17:24How funky is this?
17:25It's single board.
17:26Nice old walnut tree.
17:28This is cool.
17:29He loves trees.
17:30Did he say he loves trees?
17:32Because I feel like you're like, you live in the woods.
17:34You love trees.
17:35He loves trees.
17:36Roll back the table.
17:37The trees are what kept me coming back to liking this house.
17:40Really?
17:41He definitely likes the trees.
17:42Okay.
17:43Or he should move.
17:46How much is this bad boy?
17:48$24.95 is the price.
17:50Let's keep talking.
17:51I could do $2,000.
17:52What about?
17:54Oh, Jesus.
17:55Negotiating is my favorite thing.
17:57I know.
17:58Like I love watching your face.
18:00Here we go again.
18:01I like his cat cat stuff.
18:02What if we just take a cool $1,000 off?
18:07I don't know if we can do $1,500.
18:18I don't know if we can do $1,500.
18:26$1,800.
18:27Sold.
18:30Excellent.
18:31I want this too.
18:33$650.
18:34I could do that.
18:36I could do that.
18:37Ooh, look at the stained glass.
18:42Oh, is that so pretty.
18:44How old is this, would you say?
18:46Right around 1900, about 120 years.
18:49Do you mind if we just bring it down here?
18:51Wow.
18:52I like it.
18:53Because bathroom, they want light, but they want privacy.
18:56How much is it?
18:58It's $8.75.
19:00What if it wasn't that?
19:03$11.75.
19:05You're going up?
19:06Yeah.
19:07Okay, what's our price?
19:08That's a joke.
19:09We could do $6.50.
19:11Yeah.
19:12Sold.
19:14Awesome.
19:15This is, you've got great stuff.
19:16Let's take a couple more candies on the way out.
19:18Those new pieces are going to infuse this house with that woodsy vibe that Dylan and Brooklyn love.
19:24I'm finally starting to check some boxes off on this huge list of to-dos, but I'm not going to start relaxing anytime soon.
19:31There is still so much to get done in only four weeks.
19:40Welcome to the new bedroom.
19:43This is now their actual retreat.
19:45So now you've got a separate closet and then an actual floor plan that looks out to the view.
19:53Yeah.
19:54No more mouse ceiling?
19:55No more mouse ceiling.
19:56Which, by the way, the walls were filled with dead mice.
20:02Ian, enjoy those pictures.
20:06It was a full graveyard.
20:08Because all the wires inside the walls were active because they chewed them up.
20:13So, like, the mice would come in, zap, zap, zap, and they would just pile up.
20:17Just dead mice.
20:18And then look at this.
20:19So now they have a dedicated bathroom.
20:22Vanity wall here.
20:24But the greatest part is that we're going to do a freestanding tub.
20:28We have a 67-inch tub.
20:30So how big of a shower do we want?
20:33I would say, like, bring the shower here if you can.
20:36Okay.
20:37Alison, are you in here?
20:38Hello.
20:39Hi.
20:40Kathy from The Closet Company is coming to join us.
20:43Because that's not my forte.
20:45I know what I want in my closet, but I don't know what they want.
20:48I really like having the concept of his and hers separated.
20:52As you walk in, you can see beautiful drawers here with a little countertop for her.
20:57Have some nice shelves that wrap around.
20:59And then on his side, it mirrors it.
21:01And then we can also do pretty countertops.
21:04Yeah.
21:05I love that.
21:06This one.
21:07This kind of gives us that lighter finish.
21:09And then part of me was hoping maybe we can use a little bit of this.
21:13Yeah.
21:14In, like, the countertop or the...
21:15The bench top, maybe?
21:16Yes.
21:17Or something like that?
21:18Yeah, that'd be cool.
21:19That would be really pretty.
21:20A little mix, because they're going to lose their minds.
21:22They're going to be psyched.
21:23That new walk-in closet is going to be more than functional.
21:26It's going to be beautiful, and it's going to be one more thing I can check off my list.
21:30Meanwhile, we've got interior paint, floor and cabinet install.
21:35All these new materials are definitely bringing in that cabin-in-the-woods vibe.
21:40I've also got something very fun planned in this kitchen that's going to put a huge smile on Dylan's face.
21:50Hello.
21:51Hi, Manny.
21:52Welcome.
21:53Rhett and Allison.
21:54We are visiting Manny.
21:56He's a carpenter.
21:57He's an artisan.
21:58And I feel like I have the perfect project for him.
22:01I have a very wild idea.
22:03This is our kitchen.
22:04Okay.
22:05What do you think about a round island?
22:09Yeah.
22:10What I would love is, like, this kind of trunk.
22:12Hm.
22:13Like a, like a, like a stump.
22:15Okay.
22:16Like a tree.
22:17Yeah.
22:18Uh-huh.
22:19Because he loves trees.
22:20He does.
22:21I could make a hollow chunk and then carve out, like, to make it look like a tree and add some branches coming off.
22:27I think that's cute.
22:28Yeah.
22:29Another area.
22:30Under the stairs.
22:31If you walk around the front of the stairs, there's an actual Hobbit door.
22:35Oh, God.
22:36We don't have a lot of room.
22:37It would literally be, like, maybe clad in, like, wood or somebody paints something.
22:42I got a sister that's an artist.
22:43Really?
22:44She could paint on the walls.
22:45Yeah.
22:46Yeah.
22:47If she would be open to doing it, that'd be a fun little project.
22:49What else you got in here?
22:50What is that?
22:51The stained glass.
22:52I can pull it out.
22:53Can I see it?
22:54Sure.
22:55Here, stick your face through it.
22:56Oh, nice.
22:57Look how cute this is.
22:58It's a photo moment.
23:00This has to be the front door.
23:02I could do 225.
23:04Let's try to play a game where the door becomes free.
23:07Okay.
23:08Have you ever played stump?
23:10No.
23:11You have a stump and nails and everyone passes a hammer around and whoever hits the nail in first wins.
23:16Yeah, I want to play.
23:17Wood people are different.
23:18Wood people.
23:19Wood people.
23:20Wood people.
23:21Okay, if you win, you can have the door for free.
23:24Okay.
23:25You know I'm competitive and you know I like to barter.
23:30You combo those things, you're going to lose.
23:34Whoever hits it down first and the least of mine tries wins.
23:37Got it.
23:38All right.
23:39Damn it, you're going to win.
23:41Woo!
23:42That's game.
23:43Okay, well I was close.
23:44Let's do it again.
23:45Again?
23:46One more.
23:47One more.
23:48I'm getting this door.
23:52Ooh.
23:53I got the door for free.
23:56I absolutely thought I was going to lose after the first round when I did lose.
24:05Redemption.
24:06Yeah.
24:07You're going to build a sick ass island.
24:08I'll redeem myself.
24:09That's true.
24:10That's a good point.
24:11A big old stump.
24:12You got it.
24:13Yeah.
24:14A tree.
24:15Yes.
24:16With that new island, I am no longer stumped about the kitchen design.
24:20In the rest of the house, things are really coming along.
24:22We've got new tile going into the main bathroom and the party powder room.
24:27In the living room, we're installing beautiful sliding doors that's going to make access to
24:32the outdoor space even easier.
24:34But it seems like my list of projects for this house is never complete.
24:39Okay, Miss Daisy.
24:41I don't want you to be an art teacher, so don't get scared of this.
24:44Oh my gosh.
24:45Do you want it?
24:46You know, I think I'm okay.
24:47When we were visiting Manny, he mentioned that his sister does, like, murals.
24:52So I invited Daisy to come out to the house.
24:55This is where Brooklyn and Dylan said The Little Ones plays.
24:58Do you want to see it?
24:59Yeah.
25:00Sure.
25:01It's a tight space in here.
25:03This place under the stairs is like a death trap.
25:06It's gross.
25:07Careful of the nails.
25:11This is it.
25:12Oh my gosh.
25:17You need a tetanus shot now.
25:18I think I have one.
25:19Okay, this gives you a lay of the land, right?
25:20Yeah.
25:21So you've got two big walls to do murals.
25:22I'm going to let Daisy just run with it.
25:23Like, she's got the talent, and I feel like with somebody like that, you just let them
25:24fly.
25:25I was thinking of incorporating some of these designs-
25:26I love this.
25:27Into the mural.
25:28Yeah.
25:29To bring some color.
25:30This is all yours to imagine it as you will.
25:32All right, let me know if you need this.
25:33I love this.
25:34I love this.
25:35I love this.
25:36I love this.
25:37I love this.
25:38I love this.
25:39I love this.
25:40I love this.
25:41I love this.
25:42I love this.
25:43I love this.
25:44You imagine it as you will.
25:45Cool.
25:46All right, let me know if you need anything.
25:47Okay.
25:48Okay.
25:49With the plan for that crawl space all set, every single room of this house is full steam
25:54ahead.
25:55So now I've got to hit that one thing on my list I've been dreading the most.
25:58Figuring out what to do with this horrible exterior.
26:01This house is just truly ugly.
26:04I think with the right paint color and the right application, we can make it look cool.
26:08Here's actually my idea.
26:09I want to clad this left side in all wood.
26:12Wood's going to be here.
26:14Wood's going to be there.
26:15And then everything else gets to be paint.
26:17So we've got to pick a stain color.
26:19I need to break the house up a little bit.
26:21Not with corrugated metal, painted orange or blue, but with actual design elements.
26:27I don't think I've painted the outside of the house green yet.
26:31Why not?
26:32Right?
26:33Yeah.
26:34Let's tape these up.
26:35Yes, I'm painting the house green.
26:37Of course you know what color I want.
26:39Green?
26:40Yes.
26:41I can't believe we're doing green.
26:43It's a lot of green.
26:46This one's called backwoods.
26:47Backwoods.
26:48We're surrounded by green.
26:49We're in the forest.
26:51So like, let's make it part of the landscape.
26:54I'm narrowing it down.
26:55Let's take these two off.
26:57And this one.
27:02We're going backwoods.
27:04Going backwoods.
27:05It's the name of the paint.
27:07I think it's beautiful.
27:08Brenda's just going to do this.
27:09She's going to be like, ah!
27:11Look at this.
27:14We're going to make it pretty.
27:15It seems impossible right now, but we're going to do it.
27:18Exterior?
27:19Check.
27:20On the inside, we finally got rid of that horrendous bird railing.
27:25And we're going to give the stairs a whole new life.
27:27The walk-in closet's getting shelving installed, and the kitchen is starting to feel complete
27:32now that the appliances and countertops are going in.
27:35But the scope of this project is so enormous that the closer I get to the bottom of my list,
27:41the more I realize I have to add.
27:44So it's off to hunt for a couple more design pieces that I'm just now noticing I need.
27:53Ah, the smell of old.
27:56Old wood.
27:57Old wood.
27:58We are at a local reclaimed salvage yard to find.
28:03Doors!
28:04And anything else I find.
28:06For myself.
28:07Always.
28:09Ooh, look at this cool light fixture.
28:10What is that?
28:11We need to stay focused in here, Retta.
28:14So think main bathroom.
28:16But look at how pretty.
28:18You tell me to cut this.
28:19I just was telling you to.
28:20And then you immediately go looking at something.
28:22Look at that!
28:23But that's pretty cool.
28:24Doors!
28:25The problem is lots of doors, but I just get distracted.
28:29Just focus on what we need.
28:31Bathroom doors.
28:32These are too tiny.
28:34Those are too wide.
28:35Ooh.
28:36These are cool.
28:37But what do you think?
28:38I really like these.
28:39Feel that.
28:40There's weight to it.
28:42I think these are pretty perfect.
28:45Jackpot.
28:46Ooh, okay.
28:47Now we're talking.
28:48You know, um, the posts inside?
28:50Oh, mm-hmm.
28:51I gotta cover them with something.
28:53If this is hollow, we can use these.
28:56In my head the whole time I'm going, how do we make those posts in the house look good?
29:00And we found these columns that are like the perfect distressing.
29:03Hello!
29:04The fact that you put your face on that thing.
29:06God bless.
29:07Okay.
29:08Okay.
29:09This was a win.
29:10We killed it.
29:11Wasn't even looking for the columns.
29:12Done.
29:13How cool.
29:14There's one week left.
29:15And even though this ugly house has proven to be a massive challenge, we continue to divide
29:33and conquer.
29:34From the mural under the stairs to the exterior getting its new look, the daunting mission to
29:40transform this place continues.
29:43Now it's time to take care of Brooklyn and Dylan's outside hangout area.
29:47Hi, Andrew.
29:48Hello.
29:49Watch your step.
29:50Yeah.
29:51This is why you're here.
29:52Exactly.
29:53This is so uneven.
29:54I want this to feel like a sanctuary.
29:58This is like right off the main doors.
30:00Especially with the view.
30:01Right.
30:02So, fire pit for sure.
30:04Let's clean up this.
30:05Get the grass cut.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Nice and clean.
30:08A nice level patio.
30:09You show us what you think because you know this area way better than Red and I.
30:12I do know that there are a lot of bugs.
30:15Yes.
30:16If you guys could see what is happening behind the camera.
30:19Just this.
30:20It is.
30:21Allergies and horse flies.
30:23That's what this area is.
30:25That right up there is like the walkway to the main bedroom.
30:29And where I want to create like their own retreat, this fence goes away.
30:35That whole area is so weird to me.
30:37I think most of Andrew's job is going to be like cleaning it up.
30:41I want this to be like their little escape and we're doing a hot tub.
30:44And we can have some nice big stepping stones that connect all the different areas.
30:47Yeah.
30:48So it's easier to get around.
30:49I love it.
30:50I got enough to do inside.
30:51Yeah.
30:52Okay.
30:53So you take this and you run with it.
30:54We're excited.
30:55Great.
30:57Take off your blindfold.
30:59Oh my God.
31:00I'm not crying.
31:01I was going to say you both are.
31:02Oh my God.
31:03No we're not.
31:04I got dirt both of my eyes.
31:06Regardless of those massive build challenges and what might be the ugliest house I've ever dared to take on, in just 24 hours Brooklyn and Dylan are coming back to their brand new home.
31:21This is like night and day.
31:23Oh yeah.
31:24But I can't celebrate just yet because there's so many final touches that need to get done before tomorrow's big reveal.
31:31I legit love the house now.
31:34God, that door's awesome.
31:36That's special.
31:38And considering how the rest of this renovation has been, I should have expected that final day was going to be insane.
31:46Right there.
31:47That looks perfect.
31:51What is that box?
31:52That's the cover of that vent that was there.
31:54What color are we painting that thing?
31:56What color would you like it?
31:57What color do you think I want it to be?
31:59Green.
32:01It's got to match the tile.
32:02Okay.
32:03And I think, Ian, we center this fully.
32:05We center it.
32:06Okay.
32:07So, um, Carla, let's look at plants.
32:09That works where he is.
32:10And then maybe we just do one chair in here.
32:13Look at you.
32:14Pretty in pink.
32:15Oh my God.
32:16I'm just seeing your hood.
32:17Did you see that?
32:18This hood?
32:19Yeah.
32:20Oh my God.
32:22The disco ball hood.
32:23That's really cool.
32:25It is beautiful.
32:26They're going to lose their minds.
32:28Yeah.
32:29We got your island.
32:30Shut up.
32:31Look at this.
32:32Oh yeah.
32:33Oh my God.
32:34It's better than I thought.
32:35You did a little nook.
32:36Yeah.
32:39It's beyond stunning.
32:40Thanks, Manny.
32:41Sweet.
32:42Enjoy.
32:43This whole house looks...
32:44What?
32:45That's a big ass spider.
32:48Oh my God.
32:49Oh my God.
32:50Oh my God.
32:51It was right above your head.
32:52This is ugliest house in America.
32:55Not scariest.
32:56Yes.
32:57It's the spidiest house in America.
32:58Oh my God.
32:59Oh my God.
33:00Oh, there's a couple up there.
33:01Let's just go outside.
33:02That's where they came from.
33:03I know.
33:04This, this looks so beautiful.
33:05Glad you're happy with it.
33:06Okay.
33:07You tell me this isn't the cutest idea.
33:08Do you remember the monkeys in the kitchen?
33:09It was the only thing that was nice about this house.
33:11I just now realized they were holding hands.
33:12Yes.
33:13I think we stagger them right?
33:14Yeah.
33:15Yeah.
33:16What about that?
33:17Even more in.
33:18Okay.
33:19Pink in the middle.
33:20Pink in the middle.
33:21Pink in the middle.
33:22I think we stagger them right?
33:23Yeah.
33:24Yeah.
33:25What about that?
33:26That's more in.
33:28Even more in.
33:29Yeah.
33:30Pink in the middle.
33:31Pink in the middle.
33:32Pink in the middle.
33:33What?
33:34I like that.
33:35Oh yeah.
33:36Oh my goodness.
33:37Oh my goodness.
33:38Yeah.
33:39That's what does that look like.
33:40I mean, I'll tell you what, the best thing is that when you come in and you look through this, you just see the monkeys.
33:47We have painters, electricians, the stagers.
33:51A million things are going on today.
33:54We're still not there.
33:55Yeah, it's not done yet.
33:56So we are pushing.
33:59It's a lot.
34:00It's way too much, actually.
34:02That one goes in the bedroom.
34:03Let's paint this white.
34:05So we're going to paint this black because we can't get it back to brass.
34:08Right.
34:09Okay?
34:09It's going to be a late night.
34:14This is not for me.
34:24This is all I could find.
34:28Well, it goes with your dress.
34:31We brought in a little color.
34:32This looks stunning.
34:35I would say this is our biggest transformation yet, right?
34:37For sure.
34:38Night and day?
34:39Yeah.
34:40Let's go get them.
34:42I know you're nervous.
34:43I see your lip shaking.
34:44But are you guys ready to see the biggest transformation in the history of ugliest house in America?
34:52You think we leveled it.
34:53So ready.
34:53Yeah.
34:54It looks like we built you a new house.
34:56All right.
34:57Three.
35:00Two.
35:00Two.
35:01One.
35:02One.
35:02One.
35:03Take off your blindfold.
35:03One.
35:04One.
35:04One.
35:05One.
35:05One.
35:06One.
35:06One.
35:08One.
35:08One.
35:09One.
35:10One.
35:10Three.
35:11Two.
35:11One.
35:12One.
35:12One.
35:13One.
35:14One.
35:14One.
35:153, 2, 1.
35:19Take off your blindfold.
35:22Oh, my God.
35:24Wow.
35:25Oh, my God.
35:30This is incredible.
35:31Oh, I love the wood going over the doorway.
35:34And I love the color. It's perfect.
35:36It's green.
35:38It's like a painting behind your house,
35:41and now your house is part of the painting
35:43instead of the part you want to take out of the painting.
35:46I absolutely love all the wood you put on here
35:49and the door.
35:50The door. I just saw the door.
35:52The door.
35:53Oh.
35:55I'm not crying.
35:56I was going to say, you both are.
35:58No, we're not.
35:59I got dirt both in my eyes.
36:01You're making me cry.
36:03I'm so happy.
36:05I'm so happy.
36:06I feel like you want us to the inside.
36:08Very much so.
36:09Yes?
36:10Oh, okay. All right.
36:11Okay, eyes down.
36:12Grab each other's hands.
36:13Let's go.
36:17I'm so excited.
36:21Oh, my God.
36:33I love the light.
36:34Look how bright it is.
36:35There are lights.
36:37Cabinets.
36:38Cabinets.
36:39Yeah.
36:40They're mirrors now.
36:41And I love these mirrors.
36:42These are so cool.
36:43Isn't that fun?
36:44Yeah, it's amazing.
36:45We have floors.
36:46We have floors.
36:47Yeah, it just feels like an entry.
36:49I can't wait to take you around the corner.
36:51I'm so excited.
36:52Okay, heads down.
36:53Okay.
36:54Oh, there's a lot of space to be moving here.
36:58Yeah.
36:59Open your eyes.
37:01Oh, my God.
37:03I'm sorry.
37:06This doesn't even look like the same house.
37:08You brought the whole floor up.
37:13It looks like you're supposed to sit here to see.
37:17How big and open the window is now.
37:19And what a great view you have.
37:21Yeah.
37:22This is crazy.
37:23Wow.
37:24Sorry to get rid of your horrifying artwork.
37:26The crane.
37:27Yeah.
37:28The crane.
37:31I love that chandelier.
37:32That is really cool.
37:33And then come look at this too, please.
37:35Do you see what we have here?
37:37Oh, that is amazing.
37:45We have heat.
37:46It's in Vermont.
37:47Who knew?
37:48This is insane.
37:51Ready to also just lose your mind again with your kitchen.
37:55Uh-huh.
37:56Turn around.
37:57Close your eyes.
38:00Are you ready, Rhett?
38:01I'm ready.
38:02I've seen it.
38:03Three, two, one.
38:04Oh, my God.
38:05Whoa.
38:13That is so cool.
38:15Look at this.
38:16Look at your island.
38:17It's a custom island with a stump.
38:19Awesome.
38:20You have all brand new appliances, cabinets for days.
38:24Oh, my God.
38:25Look at the stone.
38:26Yes.
38:27I see it.
38:28The hood with the mirror.
38:29That's so cool.
38:31A little disco.
38:32I love the backsplash too.
38:34That's my favorite thing.
38:35I'm in love with your kitchen.
38:37Me too.
38:38Me too.
38:39You're better.
38:40Let's go see your powder bathroom.
38:43Oh, my God.
38:44I love this.
38:48This looks amazing.
38:53I love the tile.
38:54This is the bathroom people are still going to talk about in a good way.
38:58Wow.
38:59Okay.
39:00Ready?
39:01Let's go see your new main bedroom.
39:04Mwah.
39:05But before we do, we had to have a little more fun.
39:09I want you to open that door up.
39:13Oh, my God.
39:14No way.
39:15Go in.
39:16Okay.
39:17I'll be your back.
39:18Oh, my God.
39:20This is so cool.
39:22Whoa.
39:23That's incredible.
39:26The kids are going to be so excited.
39:28I know.
39:31Your bedroom.
39:32I hate to tell you, we found a full rat cemetery.
39:34In the walls.
39:35In the walls.
39:36But now, we've made it not just safe, but absolutely stunning.
39:40Go see your new bedroom.
39:46Whoa.
39:48Wow.
39:49That is awesome.
39:54This looks amazing this way.
39:56The orientation of your room was very important.
39:59Your view is this.
40:02Obviously, you can see what's out there.
40:04Yeah.
40:05We saw what's out there.
40:07How badass.
40:08Your own really nice new hot tub.
40:10That's really, really nice.
40:14Wow.
40:15I know where we're going.
40:16I know.
40:18There's still so much more.
40:19You get to see your new closet.
40:23Ooh.
40:24You got a makeup counter.
40:25I'm just getting ready.
40:26I haven't turned yet.
40:27You can go first.
40:28Turn.
40:29Turn your head.
40:30This is amazing.
40:38Holy cow.
40:39I've never had a closet like this.
40:40Uh-oh.
40:41Want to see this bathroom?
40:42Yeah.
40:43Come on.
40:44I love.
40:49Oh, my God.
40:51That's amazing.
41:02This is insane.
41:03Holy cow.
41:04Look at the size of this tub.
41:07I love the beautiful window.
41:08Oh, that's so cool.
41:09I found that at the antique store.
41:10That's so cool.
41:11That's really cool.
41:12When you're in the shower, you don't need to be scared of spiders.
41:15Everything's new.
41:16The doors are incredible.
41:18They're so pretty.
41:19Each space is its own space now.
41:21It's not like a collection of spaces shoved into one.
41:24Everything inside is incredible, but the reason that you bought this house was because of the property itself.
41:29So I want to take you guys outside.
41:31Yes, please.
41:32Welcome.
41:33Oh, my gosh.
41:34This is incredible.
41:35This looks amazing.
41:36Make some pizzas.
41:37Have the fire going.
41:38Look at this walkway.
41:39Oh, nice.
41:40Whoa.
41:41Didn't even notice that.
41:42This is way more than I could have ever imagined.
41:57Welcome home.
41:58Come on over, guys.
42:01Hi.
42:02It doesn't feel like our house anymore.
42:04But it is.
42:05You guys want to see inside?
42:07Yes.
42:08Yeah.
42:09Come on inside.
42:11Oh, wow.
42:14What do you think?
42:15I like it.
42:16Let's check under here.
42:17Oh.
42:18Oh.
42:19Hello.
42:20Hello.
42:21It's insane.
42:25I am blown away.
42:26It reminds me of like a fairy forest house or something, and I love that.
42:35It's incredible.
42:36We love it.
42:38It's pretty great to know that you've changed lives and moved them to tears.
42:48I know.
42:49I started to cry.
42:50Yeah, I did too.
42:51A little bit.
42:52But it didn't last long for me.
42:55We did it again.
42:59We're done, but we're not.
43:01I love the challenge.
43:02I love you.
43:03And there's way more ugly out there.
43:07There's more.
43:08There's always more ugly.
43:09There's always more ugly.
