TVTranscript
00:00:00Previously on Rock the Block, things got spicy tackling the hub of the home, the
00:00:07kitchen and dining area. Two teams went all in, chasing their first win of the
00:00:13season. I mean, is it weird if I cry over a hood? While Scott and Brooke's dreamy
00:00:18Vegas designs, we just did all the same, began looking a little too familiar. I'm
00:00:24starting to second-guess this plan. And Kim and Chelsea took massive risks, chasing
00:00:30that winning feeling. That mirror is sick. Welcome back to the block. Love it or
00:00:35list it's Paige Turner arrived. Oh my gosh. It's huge. Yeah. Ready to judge their
00:00:40spaces. Wow, this is gorgeous. But in the end, Scott and Brooke pulled off another
00:00:47victory as they won their second challenge in the first three weeks. Tonight, the
00:00:53competition takes a whole new turn as our teams create the multi-gen suite. I
00:00:59know how Vernon feels. I hate it with all my heart. I think we need to pivot here. This
00:01:04week's judges, it's you guys. What? No! Being judged by your peers, it's something that you
00:01:11fear the most. Really cool. Oh, yeah. Hey! Get out of here. We have a fireplace. Look at that tile.
00:01:19I hate that light picture. It's really ugly.
00:01:20I was honestly disappointed.
00:01:36Good morning, teams, and welcome to week four on the block.
00:01:40Woo! There we are, week four. Now let's give a big congratulations to last week's kitchen and dining room winners,
00:01:47Scott and Brooke.
00:01:49Woo! Yeah! We got the win. We've taken two out of three. I feel like we're unstoppable now. Yeah, I
00:01:57would say we're rock and rolling. It's getting a little old. So you guys took the $3,000 to use
00:02:03in this week's spaces. That's right. Still feel like you made a good decision? Absolutely. I love more money.
00:02:09So teams, you guys have dazzled with your designs, and now the curtain's up on a brand new challenge. This
00:02:17week is the multi-gen suite. Oh, I've been waiting for this. Man. Here we go.
00:02:24Who's Scott's favorite part? 250 square feet of living space and a bathroom, all walled off from the rest of
00:02:32the house with an entrance off the courtyard. A full living space with lots of opportunities to add value.
00:02:39And for this challenge, you must add a kitchenette in order to make it into a true suite. So teams,
00:02:46you have seven days to complete the multi-gen suite. Don't forget, Wayfair will be supplying your decor and furniture.
00:02:54Are you guys ready? Yes, sir.
00:02:57Well, here we go. Three, two, one, get to work, people.
00:03:01Good luck.
00:03:02Good luck.
00:03:03Good luck. Good luck. Good luck.
00:03:09Bye.
00:03:10Week four.
00:03:11This is the one I've been waiting for.
00:03:14I'm excited.
00:03:15You know, this is a really decent size for a mother-in-law suite or an apartment rental.
00:03:20Short-term rental.
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:21Let's flex our skills.
00:03:22This is our week.
00:03:23If we don't win this week, it's embarrassing.
00:03:26You do rental properties.
00:03:27I do rental properties.
00:03:29This is my wheelhouse.
00:03:30So let's take a look at this space because it's been haunting my brain of what we can do and
00:03:36figure out how we turn this into the profit maximizer for our property.
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41Whoever's living here is likely here for six months.
00:03:44Right.
00:03:45They're doing, you know, some work in Vegas.
00:03:47Can I point out what I don't like?
00:03:48Yeah, please.
00:03:49Why do we have this little cubby hole that's like literally as long as I am?
00:03:53Can we make it wider? Because I feel like I'm in a trailer.
00:03:57Okay, just a second. Hold your horses.
00:04:03I feel like you were waiting for it.
00:04:05I was waiting for it.
00:04:06First thing I would say is...
00:04:08100% make a bedroom.
00:04:11If we're mapping this out, this is what you've got for a living room.
00:04:15That is tiny.
00:04:18Even though it's a tiny space, you still need a fridge, a stove, a sink, and a dishwasher.
00:04:24I know it sounds crazy, but it adds a ton of value to a rental suite.
00:04:28So dishwasher, sink, in the island.
00:04:30And that frees up this for the fridge and the stove.
00:04:33Yes.
00:04:34That works.
00:04:34I think that's a good idea.
00:04:35That's cute.
00:04:37And now here's our next problem.
00:04:39So this is the bedroom wall.
00:04:41The door is over there.
00:04:42This becomes part of the bedroom.
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:45We take the bathroom.
00:04:46Oh yeah, this is going to be a problem.
00:04:47Uh oh, what?
00:04:48What?
00:04:48If we move the door over to there, we have to move the toilet to here.
00:04:54Right.
00:04:54The vanity plumbing over to there.
00:04:56Take the window, put it over here.
00:04:59It's going to be a few thousand bucks to move this around.
00:05:02But it'll be totally worth it because you don't want to see that toilet right away.
00:05:05Okay.
00:05:06So since we stole from all of our budgets to do the kitchen, we need to figure out how
00:05:13we're going to accomplish this situation.
00:05:15We go for the win with a different approach.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:18Which is practical.
00:05:19I know it's not always like the sexiest thing, but you know, our budget for this is
00:05:24twenty thousand bucks.
00:05:25Oh my God.
00:05:26Easy.
00:05:27I feel like this is one where we can come in under budget.
00:05:30Yes.
00:05:30The main house is our love.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33If that doesn't work out.
00:05:35This is our red Corvette and our side girlfriend.
00:05:37This is, then you marry the moneymaker.
00:05:40Got it.
00:05:41Main house is for love.
00:05:42Week four, we're doing it for the money.
00:05:45Yes.
00:05:51One of the things to think about is do we want to create an actual bedroom?
00:05:55And does that matter, A for our design or B for appraised value?
00:05:58Because if we create a bedroom in here with a wall, we have the same end result on an appraisal.
00:06:06This being one big space adds a bedroom to the appraisal.
00:06:10Us cutting this in half and making it a private bedroom adds one bedroom to the appraisal.
00:06:15Although we have a couple losses under our belt, we are not the type to be deterred by that.
00:06:21We're just going to keep our head down.
00:06:22We're going to keep doing our work.
00:06:24Follow the plan.
00:06:26Hopefully, hopefully get our first win.
00:06:30Hopefully.
00:06:31I don't think we should put a wall up.
00:06:33You want to have it nice and open.
00:06:34I think.
00:06:35Like a studio.
00:06:35You had a studio feel.
00:06:36Yeah, yeah.
00:06:37Right.
00:06:37So maybe make this space kind of living room slash bedrooms.
00:06:41Right.
00:06:41Maybe like a structured day bed, a couple occasional chairs.
00:06:45I do think one of the things we're going to want to put money into is making this a kitchen,
00:06:49not a kitchenette.
00:06:50A full kitchen on an appraisal is going to get us significantly more than a kitchenette, which is a mini
00:06:56fridge and a sink.
00:06:57At least a 30-inch sink base, a 24-inch dishwasher, a 30-inch stove.
00:07:01We're going to have to pull around here, which is going to mean getting into these windows and bringing them
00:07:07up above our countertop.
00:07:09Counter height might be more my hip than your hip because you're much shorter than me.
00:07:14It's about.
00:07:15I got boots on.
00:07:17Look, that's like bar height.
00:07:18My hip is counter height.
00:07:19Your hip is bar height.
00:07:22But I think we have all the parts for the value.
00:07:24We've got the full kitchen.
00:07:25Over here, we've got a full bathroom that other than making pretty, like we don't have to do a ton.
00:07:32There's no need to change the layout.
00:07:34Finish-wise, what do you think?
00:07:35I think we should just keep it all neutral.
00:07:37I love that.
00:07:38I think that appeals to the most amount of people.
00:07:41I feel like we can be a little bit more budget-friendly in this accessory unit than we have been
00:07:46in the main house and still make it comfortable and still make it elegant.
00:07:50Perfect. Easy peasy. I'm good with that.
00:07:52I feel like designing small spaces is a double-edged sword.
00:07:56On one hand, you just have less decisions to make, but you have to be very thoughtful because you have
00:08:02to make the best use of every single square foot.
00:08:04You know, I would love to put my grandmother in here. Everything's here. You know, the functionality, hits and bids.
00:08:11Stick with the plan.
00:08:11Comfort elegance.
00:08:12Bedrooms, bathrooms. We got it.
00:08:15Where do you think we're going to land budget-wise?
00:08:17I'd say anywhere between $20,000 and $25,000.
00:08:19I think if we can stay under $25,000, that would be a good investment in this space to get
00:08:25us from a bathroom and a kitchenette to a full rental apartment.
00:08:30That makes sense.
00:08:30I feel good about that.
00:08:32I feel good about it, too.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:35We're getting good at that. We're getting good at that.
00:08:51Okay, so what the heck are we going to do in here now?
00:08:54What do you think?
00:08:55Point tape.
00:08:55You're a big family guy.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:57I'm a big family person.
00:08:59I love having family over and I feel like it'd be nice for them to have their own space.
00:09:04Like a guest house-ish.
00:09:07In-law suite.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09We've got this multi-gen suite.
00:09:11We want it to feel special and unique, but also a place where anyone from the age of two to
00:09:17100 would want to stay.
00:09:19What if it's a baby? Babies don't want to stay there?
00:09:21No.
00:09:22Two days?
00:09:23I mean...
00:09:24All right, so we get a little kitchenette over here.
00:09:26We can do like a little cooktop, a microwave, a small fridge, just tiny little things.
00:09:31If we did some sort of island or peninsula here, we can do a couple stools on the other side.
00:09:36And then a bed as the centerpiece of the room for the ultimate studio vibe.
00:09:44This is going to be the bad man pajama right here.
00:09:46I love the tall ceiling heights, but the tall ceiling heights add money to the budget.
00:09:50Yeah.
00:09:51Because I don't love when I see tiles stop.
00:09:53And it ends.
00:09:53Yeah.
00:09:54I agree.
00:09:54So we figure out some sort of tile.
00:09:57Get a nice, really cute vanity.
00:09:59And we do want to go for that hotel luxe vibe here.
00:10:03Yes.
00:10:04So now it's like livable hotel luxe.
00:10:06So we have about maybe $10,000 to $15,000, which is not a lot of money, I know, but...
00:10:12Close to the $10,000, please.
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:15We spent the majority of our budget in the first three weeks and we have zero wins to
00:10:19show for it.
00:10:20So I think for us, we really have to figure out a way to get creative and stretch the dollar
00:10:25because we have a lot of space that we still have to do and not a whole lot of budget
00:10:29left
00:10:29to do it with.
00:10:30I want to prove to everybody that we can bring it on a low budget but really amp up the
00:10:37finishes
00:10:37and make it feel super homey, comfortable, moody, all the things.
00:10:43Show them how it's done.
00:10:45Let's get it.
00:10:45We got it.
00:10:46We got this.
00:10:53For some reason, this room throws me off the whole time.
00:10:56I've kind of been like not wanting to get here, but here we are.
00:10:58The obvious thing to do here to add value is to make this, you know, where someone could
00:11:06rent it out or...
00:11:08I buy a $3 million house.
00:11:10I am not having a short-term rental in the front of my home.
00:11:14That makes sense.
00:11:15What is it that we're missing in the house that's here that it's like, oh, let's go to
00:11:20this room and...
00:11:22Do the thing that we do?
00:11:24Do the thing.
00:11:25Not the thing.
00:11:26Well, I do love the idea of like a tucked away space where you could really put on like
00:11:31a real movie.
00:11:32Like an entertainment movie room.
00:11:35Are you thinking like making it feel like a theater?
00:11:38I mean, I wasn't, but I can.
00:11:41I'm now getting excited about the multi-gens.
00:11:44Good.
00:11:44I knew it was going to come around.
00:11:46Okay.
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:47So how would we lay this out?
00:11:48It's a tight room.
00:11:49How would we do this?
00:11:50Get rid of this box.
00:11:52And that gives us this place to like do the big screen, you know, and still give a door
00:11:57that'll connect to the house right here.
00:11:59We could put this door here to the courtyard.
00:12:02And now we have this full wall for our kitchenette.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06Shag carpet.
00:12:07Yay.
00:12:07I get my shag carpet.
00:12:09Drapes.
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:12So are you saying like festoon it?
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:15Like a circus tip?
00:12:16That is very famous.
00:12:17But not do like red and white fabric, but...
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:21But circus circus.
00:12:22Theater it out.
00:12:23Sure.
00:12:24What I love is that it does have a bathroom.
00:12:26You're not having to walk through the whole house to find the bathroom.
00:12:29So let's take a look and see what we've got available in here.
00:12:33I feel like there's an opportunity here to just like make this feel sick.
00:12:37Do something smoky and cool.
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:38Bring in the smoky sexy in here, right?
00:12:40Cool wallpaper.
00:12:41Cool tile.
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:43Cool sink.
00:12:43Call it a day.
00:12:45Totally.
00:12:45I feel like this is not like a space that we're wanting to blow our budget on.
00:12:49No.
00:12:50There's no need to do that.
00:12:51Do it for like what?
00:12:5210, 15 K.
00:12:54Use your calculator and...
00:12:56Yes.
00:12:56We can do it for 15.
00:12:58Let's do it.
00:12:58Okay.
00:12:58This is good.
00:12:59This is a plan.
00:13:00I like it.
00:13:01Me too.
00:13:01Can't get it back into the house.
00:13:02We have to go this way.
00:13:03That's gonna change.
00:13:05We're changing.
00:13:05I wonder if we're the only ones doing that smart move.
00:13:07I hope so.
00:13:08I think it's really smart.
00:13:09I'm a random.
00:13:11I told you I'm a random.
00:13:14I told you I'm a random.
00:13:15I'm a random.
00:13:15I told you I'm a random.
00:13:18I'm a random.
00:13:21Holy Toledo.
00:13:22We want to get everything moved.
00:13:24We're cutting out for the new window.
00:13:25We want to move the window over.
00:13:26We're excited.
00:13:27We're working fast.
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:28I'm gonna move this guy over.
00:13:31Ah!
00:13:31Oh my God!
00:13:32Scott!
00:13:33Ah!
00:13:33What?
00:13:35Oh my God!
00:13:36Oh my God!
00:13:37Scott!
00:13:38Hold on to this.
00:13:39Hold on to this.
00:13:39Hold on to what?
00:13:41Freaking water's on.
00:13:43Ah!
00:13:45Brooke!
00:13:46Hold it!
00:13:48Jeez.
00:13:49Look out.
00:13:50Look out.
00:13:52Oh my God!
00:13:54Where's the water shut off?
00:14:00Ian!
00:14:01What the hell happened?
00:14:03Hold up.
00:14:04Hold up.
00:14:05Yeah.
00:14:06Water.
00:14:08Water is on.
00:14:10Water's on.
00:14:13I don't trust you.
00:14:15I know I'm gonna have to run.
00:14:16There's still gonna be water in the air.
00:14:18Really?
00:14:18No, I just turned it off.
00:14:19It's fine.
00:14:20It's done.
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:20I don't trust you.
00:14:22I don't trust you.
00:14:22Oh my God!
00:14:24It's all in my boobs!
00:14:26So my boss, who is off-
00:14:28awesome at everything, didn't know that the water was still on.
00:14:32And he cut a water line.
00:14:33To be fair, the main was off, but the multi-gen is on a separate meter.
00:14:39So what exactly are we gonna do?
00:14:41Like, does this create mold or something now?
00:14:44Swampy drywall is no good.
00:14:45Oh my gosh.
00:14:46Just for good measure, I'm gonna pull all the drywall off so we don't get any mold.
00:14:50It's a little bit of extra work.
00:14:51It's a little bit of extra time, but-
00:14:53Any extra money?
00:14:54It's gonna cost us a couple hundred bucks to replace some wet drywall and insulation.
00:14:58Probably not the best start when we're trying to pinch pennies here.
00:15:01When you try to do things fast, sometimes it costs a little more money.
00:15:06Okay, we're gonna let this dry out for the night and then we'll re-tackle it tomorrow.
00:15:19I'm gonna take a nap.
00:15:21You take the lead off.
00:15:22Oh gosh.
00:15:23I love that Paige got our creativity last week.
00:15:26I walked in and I was like, this is sexy.
00:15:28This is creative.
00:15:30But we really need another Paige this week because this is going to be, quite possibly,
00:15:35the most creative space in the whole house.
00:15:38I wanna set the scene here to like, when you walk in the door, you know it's a movie room.
00:15:43Right, love that.
00:15:44I say, we just drape this everywhere.
00:15:48To festoon?
00:15:50Or not to festoon?
00:15:52That's the question.
00:15:53That is the question.
00:15:53And we have decided to festoon.
00:15:56You're gonna have to start somewhere.
00:15:58Right.
00:16:00Not only can I not see what Chelsea has in mind, I'm very concerned about the execution of it.
00:16:06She doesn't trust my judgment.
00:16:08It's not that.
00:16:09I just, I can't imagine how we're going to do this and make it look good.
00:16:13Like, if we had a professional festooner on board, I would feel better.
00:16:16But this is, this is a risky choice.
00:16:20If you're gonna go all in, go all in.
00:16:22Like, let's do it on the ceiling, the walls, everywhere.
00:16:25Double down.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27It's gonna be awesome.
00:16:29That's good, that's good.
00:16:30Okay, okay, okay.
00:16:31Funky.
00:16:31Not necessarily smoky sexy.
00:16:34I think it's kind of sexy.
00:16:36I think draping fabric all over the walls and ceiling does feel sexy to me.
00:16:41I'm ready for wallpaper.
00:16:43Come on now.
00:16:45Well, I thought, when I said let's elevate the design, I mean, you took it a little too seriously.
00:16:50I know how Vernon feels.
00:16:52How great does that feel?
00:16:53It's wallpaper day.
00:16:56Somebody here loves wallpaper.
00:17:00We need to get your long pants and then no one would ever know.
00:17:04I do.
00:17:04Oh!
00:17:06Well, what's up, buddy?
00:17:08We're just trying to elevate the design in here as well.
00:17:10Yeah, you guys are levitating.
00:17:12Yeah.
00:17:13It's good.
00:17:14Ty, our entire house is wallpapered.
00:17:17Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:18Like, it's real subtle.
00:17:20It's, yeah, because we...
00:17:21I mean, from a distance, you won't even be able to see that there's a pattern there.
00:17:24We don't want to be distracting.
00:17:25Like, everything about our space is about texture and movement.
00:17:29What do you guys feel about the other teams?
00:17:31Like, who is your...
00:17:32You know what I mean?
00:17:33Like, you got to size up your opponents.
00:17:35Like, who do you need to knock down?
00:17:37Everybody knows what Scott and Kim and Mina do.
00:17:41I mean, we've been watching it on TV for years.
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:43The wild card is what Brooke, Chelsea, and Vernon do.
00:17:47Bottom line is, you guys are good at what you do.
00:17:51You seem to be working well together.
00:17:53And we just love having you here on the block.
00:17:54So, good luck.
00:17:55Keep it going.
00:17:56And I'll see you out there.
00:17:57Thanks, Ty.
00:17:58Appreciate it, Ty.
00:18:00Mina, this is a really nice choice for just a rental.
00:18:03I mean, we're giving them something really classy here.
00:18:06Yeah, well, I mean, we want to make sure it kind of fits with, like, the vibe of the rest
00:18:10of the house.
00:18:11Yeah.
00:18:12And isn't...
00:18:13Like, we could probably get away with lower end, but if it was someone who is going to use this
00:18:18for another family member...
00:18:19Yep.
00:18:20...and not as a rental, like, you wouldn't... you would never skimp on your grandma.
00:18:25You'd be like, you get the best tile and the best cabinets.
00:18:28His grandma is his ride or die.
00:18:31So, I could see him being in a home like this and, you know, her still wanting her own space,
00:18:34but being able to be right there.
00:18:36She's, like, the most important thing in the world to him.
00:18:39I think it's going to look really dramatic once we finish, but it's also going to look super elegant.
00:18:43And it's going to feel like it's truly different.
00:18:48It separates itself from anything, any other bathroom.
00:18:52Mm-hmm.
00:18:52I hope so.
00:18:53You want to put up like these two?
00:18:55Yeah, let me do it.
00:18:56Get your hands dirty.
00:18:57Let me get dirty.
00:18:58You know?
00:18:58Yeah.
00:18:59I'm very nervous about letting Vernon down.
00:19:02And I want to be mindful to make sure that he feels like he has skin in the game.
00:19:07So he feels included, but also so if we don't win, it's just not completely my fault.
00:19:12I would like to share the blame with Vernon if we don't win.
00:19:15It's weird.
00:19:16It doesn't match anything.
00:19:17We have a problem.
00:19:18This is not looking awesome.
00:19:20This is your next design surprise.
00:19:24Whoa!
00:19:24Oh, my God!
00:19:25It's very traumatic.
00:19:27Very traumatic.
00:19:28Okay, so how exactly do these go together?
00:19:31Well, how do you normally deal with your exes?
00:19:34I break them.
00:19:36We are planning on doing something pretty much insane.
00:19:40Something I've never done before, which is cover the entire bathroom with this tile.
00:19:46But it's not going to look like somewhere where like a fast food bathroom?
00:19:50It's either going to be the best thing the judges have ever seen.
00:19:54Or the worst thing.
00:19:57It's going to look like a funky income property.
00:20:00Oh, God.
00:20:00I hope you're right.
00:20:01Because doing it everywhere, like that much of it is a little intense.
00:20:04I was nervous about the tile, but then thinking back to Nashville, people sometimes like a little crazy.
00:20:10So we went a little crazy.
00:20:12I'm really banking on the appraisers coming through and seeing the value of having an income suite here and also
00:20:20understanding that there aren't a lot of premium rental properties.
00:20:24If there's a certain expectation in Vegas, we need to exceed it.
00:20:29Yes, our main home is modern Hacienda, but this one here...
00:20:33This is modern, crazy Cachienda.
00:20:37Cachienda!
00:20:38Oh, my God!
00:20:39I can't see any of our competitors putting this much effort into the quality of the work.
00:20:45I don't think anybody has a professional like you.
00:20:47Don't underestimate our competition.
00:20:48That's true.
00:20:49Way prettier than I thought it was going to be.
00:20:54So if we do the bed over there, then maybe we'd make this sort of like a living room-ish
00:20:58area?
00:20:58Yeah, the sitting area.
00:21:00I mean, we have so much of that tambour.
00:21:02It brings instant warmth.
00:21:04Mm-hmm.
00:21:04You know, I feel like it also makes it cohesive with the rest of the house.
00:21:07Maybe we just turn at the angle, change it up.
00:21:10Horizontal?
00:21:11I mean, horizontal's cool.
00:21:12And we can frame around the whole perimeter and we can put light running through tape light.
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:18That is going to make it look so high-end.
00:21:20We're in Las Vegas.
00:21:22I want to make sure that we bring the Vegas charm, but not tacky, not wild and crazy, just something
00:21:28that's livable.
00:21:29I think it would be a great moment.
00:21:31Love it.
00:21:32And also, we don't have to keep it wood.
00:21:34We can put it up as wood.
00:21:36Yeah.
00:21:36But we have this throughout.
00:21:38I know.
00:21:39Well, I don't know what it is.
00:21:40We're going to paint wood.
00:21:41Men and painting wood is such a problem.
00:21:44I don't understand why.
00:21:45Look how beautiful it is.
00:21:46I know we have it out throughout the house.
00:21:48I can't.
00:21:50I'll leave you and your wood alone.
00:21:51We can have a moment together.
00:21:53You smell so good.
00:21:54Get a room.
00:21:56Have you ever seen one of these?
00:21:57No, but this is the coolest thing.
00:21:59It is cool.
00:22:01And I can't wait to see how this works.
00:22:03I am so, so obsessed with this invisible cooktop for this space in particular because it kind of preserves our
00:22:11vintage movie theater vibes.
00:22:13And that this space could be anything if somebody wanted to use it as a guest suite.
00:22:16It just heats up through induction through your standard countertop.
00:22:21So you'll sit the pot directly on the countertop.
00:22:23It uses induction heating and cooks through this surface.
00:22:26Part of what I love about this is I feel like we focused more on the flex of this.
00:22:33Like this is an example of we still have a full kitchenette.
00:22:36I'm sure they do too.
00:22:37I feel like a lot of the teams are going to stage this as a guest suite.
00:22:41This can easily be a guest suite, but by like connecting it to the house, simple touch like this, not
00:22:46focusing so much on closet space.
00:22:48I do think this makes this more malleable to like whatever the buyer wants it to be.
00:23:08So we're walking up to the block and it looks like they have some sort of wedding set up.
00:23:13And I'm wondering if they're going to hitch us for life.
00:23:17Wow.
00:23:19What could it be?
00:23:25Wow.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:27This is a lot.
00:23:28And I don't want.
00:23:28Oh, God.
00:23:30Oh, my God.
00:23:31Oh, my God.
00:23:34Oh, my God.
00:23:36Yes.
00:23:37Elvis.
00:23:38Thanks for the ride.
00:23:41Thank you very much.
00:23:42Ty driving up with Elvis in a pink Cadillac.
00:23:47Viva Las Vegas.
00:23:48What more could you ask for?
00:23:49That's like the trifecta.
00:23:51It's the trifecta.
00:23:54Hello, teams.
00:23:56What a way to arrive.
00:23:58That is so cute.
00:24:00Did you know that Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world?
00:24:05For that reason, I thought we'd say yes to your next design surprise.
00:24:10Oh, no.
00:24:11I'm sure you've all, you know, heard the saying when you get married, you must have something
00:24:16old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
00:24:23That's right.
00:24:25Am I the old?
00:24:26And the blue.
00:24:27Each team will choose one of the four ropes and ring the corresponding wedding bell, at
00:24:35which time a banner will reveal a category, old, new, borrowed, or blue.
00:24:40So, if you get blue, you and your teammate will choose two items from the blue pew to use
00:24:47in your multi-gen suite design.
00:24:48You must use both items.
00:24:52If you get old or new, same deal.
00:24:54We're definitely hoping to get old, because we like this idea of incorporating an old
00:24:59thing into each space, and we don't have anything old for the multi-gen, so we feel like that
00:25:03would be a good choice for us.
00:25:04You will only have 45 seconds to ring the bell.
00:25:08Find your pew and choose your two items.
00:25:12If you get borrowed, this is where it gets fun.
00:25:15Yep, you can steal an item from your fellow teams if they have something you want.
00:25:20What?
00:25:20I would take from Scott.
00:25:22I would feel bad taking from any of the other teams.
00:25:24I would not feel bad taking from Scott.
00:25:26Me neither.
00:25:27All right, teams.
00:25:28So, we drew numbers.
00:25:30Me and Vernon, you guys drew one, so you go first.
00:25:33Come on, guys.
00:25:34Are you ready?
00:25:35Ready.
00:25:36Three, two, one, go!
00:25:41Oh!
00:25:42You guys got borrowed!
00:25:44Boo!
00:25:45Come on!
00:25:46Don't be a hater!
00:25:47Voila, we get borrowed.
00:25:49Wow, borrowed right off the bat.
00:25:51Nice.
00:25:52That was a good one.
00:25:53Which is a great position to be in.
00:25:55We can have whatever we want.
00:25:57Me and Vernon, you can borrow your items at the end after the other three teams have gone.
00:26:01Scott and Brooke, you're next.
00:26:03All right, here we go.
00:26:04Three, two, one, go!
00:26:07Get this out!
00:26:09Red!
00:26:10Red, okay.
00:26:12Oh, my God, Scott!
00:26:13Very traumatic.
00:26:15Very traumatic.
00:26:16All I see is red, and I was like a bull.
00:26:18I was just like, boom!
00:26:19It worked!
00:26:20We'll take whatever these are.
00:26:21You get two things!
00:26:22Two things!
00:26:23That's a matching set.
00:26:24Whoa!
00:26:25First thing I saw were these big, beautiful...
00:26:29Balls.
00:26:31Balls.
00:26:32Oh, my God, I had to grab them.
00:26:34One!
00:26:35Time's up!
00:26:36I'm marrying somebody with a lot of plastic surgery.
00:26:38I think that brass faucet is gonna give us a competitive edge because that's a save for us.
00:26:43We were gonna have to spend a couple hundred bucks on a faucet so we can invest that money somewhere
00:26:48else.
00:26:49These, this is...
00:26:50It's a velvet ottoman bench.
00:26:53We were pretty smart with picking something that might actually add value.
00:26:56That's right.
00:26:57All right, Kim and Chelsea, are you ready?
00:26:59Yes, sir.
00:26:59We're ready.
00:27:00Three, two, one, go!
00:27:03Woo!
00:27:03All right.
00:27:04Older blue.
00:27:05You want blue.
00:27:06Oh, man.
00:27:07Of course.
00:27:08Oh!
00:27:08Oh!
00:27:09What do we got?
00:27:10Oh!
00:27:11Okay, okay.
00:27:13Okay, calm, cool, and collected.
00:27:14That's amazing.
00:27:15Do we want that instead or do we like ours?
00:27:17The Tiffany lamp's kinda cool.
00:27:18Let's take our time and, like, really think this through.
00:27:23That and...
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:24Yes.
00:27:25All right.
00:27:26We've got some items here.
00:27:27All right.
00:27:27You have that light touch.
00:27:29Okay.
00:27:29Double fist in the lighting.
00:27:30Nice.
00:27:31Nice.
00:27:31We very badly needed, like, a chandelier upgrade for our festooning tent situation, and this
00:27:38was absolutely the icing on the cake.
00:27:40Yeah.
00:27:41And I found a really cool lamp that has a little shimmy to it.
00:27:45I feel like it gives moody movie theater vibes.
00:27:48Swag.
00:27:48Next up, we've got Tanya and Drew.
00:27:51I got a funny feeling you're getting something blue.
00:27:56Two.
00:27:57Three.
00:27:58Two.
00:27:59One.
00:28:00Go.
00:28:01What's it gonna be?
00:28:02What's it gonna be?
00:28:03Oh!
00:28:04Yay!
00:28:05Oh!
00:28:06Shocking.
00:28:07Okay, all right.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:09I don't even know how to incorporate blue into the designs.
00:28:12What is this?
00:28:13Flooring tile.
00:28:14Tile.
00:28:15Don't do tile.
00:28:16For us, I think the biggest challenge is just incorporating it somehow.
00:28:21Uh...
00:28:21Five.
00:28:22Son of a bitch!
00:28:23Three.
00:28:24Three.
00:28:25Two.
00:28:26One.
00:28:27Done!
00:28:28Oh my gosh!
00:28:29Wow!
00:28:30Yeah!
00:28:31Tell us what you picked!
00:28:32We've got this fine bench and these gorgeous cobalt blue vessels.
00:28:38Okay, so, Mina and Vernon, you have 45 seconds to pick from basically everything,
00:28:43including the things that the other teams are holding.
00:28:45So much good stuff.
00:28:47Okay.
00:28:47But you can only leave with two items.
00:28:49Okay.
00:28:50We're kind of surprised by the other teams leaving what seems to be all the good items
00:28:56behind for us to pick from.
00:28:57But that being said, I still don't think we know exactly what we want.
00:29:01Mm-hmm.
00:29:01Three, two, one, go!
00:29:04I feel like I like...
00:29:05This is decent decor.
00:29:07We could use a couple tables.
00:29:09What's this?
00:29:11The chains.
00:29:12If you break it, you bought it.
00:29:13I would have stolen the swishy lamp.
00:29:18I like your guys' lamp, but I like you, so I'm not going to take it.
00:29:21It wasn't something I wanted so bad.
00:29:23I'd like to lean to their good side because they're a little scary.
00:29:26Fifteen seconds.
00:29:27Uh, what is this?
00:29:28A spotlight?
00:29:28You have this.
00:29:31That is a little basic.
00:29:33Jukebox?
00:29:33Yeah, get it!
00:29:34Three, two, one, and that's it!
00:29:38Whoa!
00:29:39Got the jukebox!
00:29:40The space we're working on this week, and it doesn't scream Vegas, but we're in Vegas,
00:29:45and part of the design is incorporating these things, so let's have fun.
00:29:49Let's do a jukebox.
00:29:51Designers, I do think that was pretty fun.
00:29:54And now it's time to turn these pieces of Vegas flair into something that lasts a lifetime.
00:29:59How you integrate these items into your multi-gen suites will be a part of the judging criteria
00:30:05at the end of the week, so get creative.
00:30:08Good luck!
00:30:09Thank you, Ty.
00:30:10Can't wait to see what you do with the item.
00:30:12Enjoy!
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:13That's blue.
00:30:14The ceremony worked out pretty good for us.
00:30:17I'm ready for the reception, baby.
00:30:19But it's all going to come down to the honeymoon.
00:30:30It looks big, but I think it's just the framing.
00:30:33Oh, please, dear Lord, let it fit.
00:30:35Are you okay today?
00:30:36No, I stayed up so late here at the house.
00:30:39When I'm tired, I'm loopy.
00:30:41Oh, so I'm going to get the weird, as opposed to the regular version that I normally have
00:30:45that's totally sane.
00:30:46Correct.
00:30:47Amazing.
00:30:48Slide your side in.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:50We have $3,000 from last week's win.
00:30:53The best thing we can do is add another amenity.
00:30:57Adding a fireplace just is another checkmark for a buyer, for a renter, and for added value
00:31:03to our space.
00:31:04Oh, look!
00:31:05It's on!
00:31:05With the styrofoam in it.
00:31:07We're going to have a fire!
00:31:08Oh, my gosh.
00:31:09It looks so good, though.
00:31:11I think it's a good idea to have an electric fireplace because it makes it feel like there
00:31:16is another element that's worth something.
00:31:20Well, let's be realistic.
00:31:21This is being built as an independent income suite.
00:31:24It can also be a guest suite if you want to keep it that way, but it's a fully self
00:31:28-contained
00:31:29apartment, and I want it to feel cozy.
00:31:34So, the festooning has officially crossed over from bold design choice to please send help.
00:31:41So, thankfully, help came to the rescue.
00:31:44Perfect.
00:31:46The TV is mounted.
00:31:47It looks great.
00:31:48Man.
00:31:49I feel like we've really lucked out in these challenges.
00:31:52When we pulled old, which is exactly what we wanted, we got cool lighting, a cool lamp.
00:32:00What if I dropped it and it all broke?
00:32:02Oh, my God.
00:32:03Don't even say that.
00:32:04Wouldn't be a funny joke anymore, would it?
00:32:06No.
00:32:07I also, too, think that lighting adds value more than the little tchotchka stuff you can
00:32:12set on a desk or a nightstand.
00:32:15Lights, camera, action.
00:32:16That's that one.
00:32:18It's cute.
00:32:18It's glowy.
00:32:20It's good.
00:32:20It's very, like, vintage theater vibes.
00:32:23Perfect mood light.
00:32:24I love it.
00:32:25I do, too.
00:32:27I do like that we didn't pull the cabinets all the way around.
00:32:31I mean, it was partially a budget thing.
00:32:33Once this becomes a real kitchen, this isn't just extra space anymore.
00:32:37It becomes a fully functional studio apartment.
00:32:41We've got a full kitchen.
00:32:42We've got the bathroom.
00:32:43Appraisers don't guess.
00:32:44They check boxes, and we're checking all of them.
00:32:47So, we'll have floating shelves all right here.
00:32:49So, where this first laser line is.
00:32:51Floating shelves.
00:32:52Okay.
00:32:52So, the first one will come right around at this level.
00:32:55The second one's about here.
00:32:56And then we have one that goes all the way across the top of the windows.
00:32:59Floating shelves do two things.
00:33:01Knocking out some of the uppers, we save a little bit of money.
00:33:04And then the floating shelves gives us a design opportunity to make some things pretty and make it feel a
00:33:09little bit lighter visually.
00:33:10What was your first apartment like?
00:33:13Um, I mean, I went from the dorms to a seven-bedroom, like, moldy house in Bloomington.
00:33:18And then straight to my first house I bought.
00:33:21So, fun fact, I've literally never in my entire life lived by myself. Ever.
00:33:28You said you never lived by yourself.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30Did you know a funny fact about me?
00:33:32I never washed my own clothes.
00:33:34You've never washed your own clothes?
00:33:36Your grandma.
00:33:37Oh, my goodness.
00:33:38When I was in college, I used to take them home to her so she could wash them.
00:33:41Go back and pick them up.
00:33:42The shame.
00:33:43The shame.
00:33:45Yep.
00:33:45Do you have someone that washes them now?
00:33:47Yeah, I got a housekeeper.
00:33:49You fancy.
00:33:50All right, let's go cut our other couple guys and we'll get these ones installed.
00:33:54All right, here you go.
00:33:57You know, the multi-gen suite was gonna be an area where we tried to pull back the budget.
00:34:01So, I'm gonna do the tile ourselves.
00:34:03We're saving a lot of money there on installation.
00:34:05Plus, we're able to use the same tile we used in our primary suite.
00:34:09So, uh, it's a win-win. Savings everywhere.
00:34:13Drew!
00:34:15I really think we need to pivot here.
00:34:20From...
00:34:20From this?
00:34:23Uh...
00:34:23Neutral is probably not gonna get us a win.
00:34:27I think we have to push the envelope.
00:34:29Tani comes in with a little bit of a, uh, let's call it a...
00:34:32A wrinkle?
00:34:33A wrinkle?
00:34:34I'm right here, Drew.
00:34:35A crease?
00:34:35I'm sitting right here.
00:34:36I found this tile, which is...
00:34:40Gorgeous.
00:34:41And I figured if we can step it up and bring a little bit of a color,
00:34:45our entire suite right now is beige.
00:34:48And I'm all for it.
00:34:49You know me, I love a neutral.
00:34:50But I thought maybe we could bring in something a little different.
00:34:54You know, so I get worried about budget, and I get worried about the time,
00:34:57and then the time is the budget, and then the budget is the time,
00:34:59and they affect each other, and it's like this yin and yang thing.
00:35:02All right, just so we're clear, you want me to pull all this tile?
00:35:07It's not my fault that you got so good at tiling.
00:35:10You're so fast.
00:35:11I was literally gone for 15 minutes, and you're almost done.
00:35:14Uh...
00:35:14Flattery will get you everywhere.
00:35:17Try it.
00:35:17But let me get this off before it really does set all the way.
00:35:20Are you kicking me out?
00:35:21Give me space!
00:35:23Love you, man!
00:35:24Yeah, stay away from the tile store.
00:35:38You go that way, Tensy TV.
00:35:40Yup!
00:35:41A design risk that I would like to take on is bringing back shag carpet.
00:35:47The shag carpet helps with the sexy.
00:35:49We are in Vegas.
00:35:52Oh, whoa.
00:35:55Ew.
00:35:56Did you pick this out and okay this?
00:35:58No!
00:35:59It's weird.
00:36:00It doesn't match anything.
00:36:02We have a problem.
00:36:03This is not looking awesome.
00:36:05It's also synthetic, which is also making it kind of feel like, honestly, like an apartment,
00:36:12you know, builder grade carpet.
00:36:15I mean, imagine this with that mustard.
00:36:18I hate it with all my heart.
00:36:19Oh, well, just say it.
00:36:21I hate it.
00:36:21It doesn't hurt my feelings.
00:36:22I don't love it.
00:36:23I'm so disappointed that this shag carpet is not going to work.
00:36:28I was really hoping to bring it back into fashion.
00:36:30But unfortunately, we're going to have to change our plans.
00:36:33Is there a way to just find, like, a really cool area rug that is shag still?
00:36:41Let's just do the biggest shag rug we possibly can fit in the lounge area.
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:50Oh, wow.
00:36:50Okay.
00:36:52Ouch.
00:36:53Mine hurt.
00:36:54Oh, no.
00:36:56It's just like baking a cake.
00:36:58What?
00:36:59It's a big cake.
00:37:00When's your birthday?
00:37:01April 7th.
00:37:03You're an Aries?
00:37:04I'm an Aries.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:05What are you?
00:37:06I'm a Taurus, baby.
00:37:07Oh.
00:37:08You know what they say about Taurus.
00:37:10Strong, steady.
00:37:11Sensual, hot, sexy.
00:37:13Hard to get along with.
00:37:14This is going to be our range hood.
00:37:16So right now, it's just a drywall box.
00:37:18We have no money left to do it.
00:37:20You're a drywall box.
00:37:21I'm sorry.
00:37:22You know what?
00:37:23I thought you were going to be a little more serious coming into this competition, but...
00:37:27I'm giving you the energy you need.
00:37:29I don't know how we come back from this.
00:37:30You look like a football player.
00:37:32Oh, we should go surprise Vernon.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37Get into, like, 24, 32, hut.
00:37:40What does that even mean?
00:37:41Scott and I have become very close very fast.
00:37:44And I'm sure a lot of people watching us will think that there's something going on.
00:37:49But really, the affection I have for him is a mixture of things.
00:37:53There's a little bit of, like, a daddy complex happening here where I feel safe and protected by you.
00:37:59And I trust you.
00:38:00And you give good advice.
00:38:02And, you know, his hugs feel like a dad hug, you know?
00:38:07Anyone in this competition understands the short-term rental market.
00:38:10It's you and I.
00:38:11True.
00:38:12I've done over a thousand rental suites.
00:38:14Oh, I got more on you.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:15So...
00:38:16No!
00:38:19I'm just kidding.
00:38:20Go ahead.
00:38:20How many rental suites have you done?
00:38:22The last time I counted, I was at 94.
00:38:27What most people don't know is that you've been building this really successful design business
00:38:32and specializing in the short-term vacation rental space.
00:38:37For under $100, we're going to get a $1,000-looking range hood.
00:38:47This keypad's really nice because the owners, like, you can operate it remotely.
00:38:52Mm-hmm.
00:38:52It really just makes it so you don't need a key ever.
00:38:54Today Vernon and I are installing a smart lock on our, like, accessory apartment door.
00:39:01Mina, I think this is super smart for the strategy that we have.
00:39:03Yeah, it's not like a huge thing, not crazy expensive, but it just makes the space more
00:39:09functional, right?
00:39:10Yep.
00:39:11Watching Mina work, she was just moving so fluent.
00:39:14She can do everything and anything.
00:39:17And I couldn't help but to think, hey, Mina, someone needs to make a movie about you.
00:39:22I can make a movie out of you.
00:39:24A real estate agent with superpowers.
00:39:26Your superpowers would be...
00:39:27What would my superpowers mean?
00:39:28You can hands-on, you can, like, do anything.
00:39:30You can handle any drill, you can flip it in the air, you can spin it.
00:39:33I can see you having so many superpowers.
00:39:35Like, every finger would be a different gadget, like a nail gun, a set of pliers.
00:39:41It's like Edward Scissorhands, but Mina tool fingers.
00:39:45Yeah, she's awesome.
00:39:46Which doesn't quite have the same ring, but I'll workshop that and get back to you.
00:39:51Super ginger.
00:39:54All right.
00:39:56She's a beaut.
00:39:57Oh, my gosh.
00:39:59I love their tile.
00:40:00Dang, I wanted to hate it.
00:40:01What is happening?
00:40:03It's really ugly.
00:40:13With only one day left, we had to bring in someone to help with the new tile so we could
00:40:17focus on other projects.
00:40:19So we decided to build this kitchen island because, number one, it's a little bit more cost-effective.
00:40:24Number two, we want people that come and stay in this room to feel the love and the investment of
00:40:29time that went into it.
00:40:30This is a story.
00:40:32This is something that was built out of love and attention to detail.
00:40:37You don't get that with the prefab piece.
00:40:40You know a lot more than you think you know.
00:40:42And the fact that he can build.
00:40:44I mean, who knew that Drew Lachey builds.
00:40:47I don't know how you know how to do this, but I'm just glad you do.
00:40:50Well, between having a smaller kitchen where they can make some breakfast, have their coffee, wine, of course, a sitting
00:40:57area, a place to sleep, washer, dryer, bathroom, literally a home away from home for someone.
00:41:03You put this in New York City, you're paying three grand a month.
00:41:07Minimum.
00:41:07Three grand a month.
00:41:09Minimum.
00:41:12You know what's really going to finish this countertop off, Brooke?
00:41:15I know.
00:41:16The design surprise that I so smartly picked out.
00:41:20A beautiful brass faucet.
00:41:23Brooke, all you got to do is focus.
00:41:25I can see you down there.
00:41:27I see you.
00:41:29Hello.
00:41:29Okay, let it go.
00:41:31Okay.
00:41:31Should be good.
00:41:33Nope.
00:41:35I mean, we were pretty smart with picking something that might actually add value because everybody else just picked staging
00:41:41and decor.
00:41:41I mean, the truth is this kitchen is tiny, but it's got some big stuff in it.
00:41:46Do you want to know what our profit maximizer is this week?
00:41:48What?
00:41:49The dishwasher.
00:41:50Yeah.
00:41:51Bam.
00:41:51Because the average tenant will pay.
00:41:53The average tenant will pay an extra $75 a month to have a dishwasher, plus it's an extra appliance in
00:41:59our house, so it adds to the appraisal value.
00:42:01Got it.
00:42:11Oh, yes.
00:42:13Get it fucked up.
00:42:14Yes.
00:42:15I'm waiting for this.
00:42:17There we go, man.
00:42:18I'm waiting.
00:42:19I'm waiting.
00:42:20There we go.
00:42:22Hey, what you doing, buddy?
00:42:23About time.
00:42:24About time.
00:42:25These are hers for sure.
00:42:26Yeah, that's us.
00:42:27That's us.
00:42:27I better leave our mid-century alone.
00:42:29I need those, Vernon.
00:42:31Oh, I thought you were done with them.
00:42:32No, sir.
00:42:33We don't want a participation trophy.
00:42:35It's been three weeks, and we still don't have a win.
00:42:39The multi-gen to me is the wild card in this entire competition, but I'm confident in what we've done.
00:42:47Our festooned movie room is like the biggest oddball idea.
00:42:54It's going to be a one-of-a-kind.
00:42:56People are either going to love it or they're going to hate it.
00:42:59Everything about it is comfortable, elegant, but just a little bit like sexier, like a little more masculine.
00:43:05Love it.
00:43:06Oh, you got it?
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:07What I think is interesting with our multi-gen is that our added value is that there is some flexibility
00:43:13to the space.
00:43:14Spatially, does it fit?
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:16Spatially, it fits great.
00:43:17Hey, Argus Hunk.
00:43:18To the left.
00:43:19We got like one minute.
00:43:24Multi-gen for the win.
00:43:30Teams, this week you've heard wedding bells, had an Elvis sighting, and committed yourself to the multi-generational suites.
00:43:40Yeah, we did.
00:43:40Yes, that's for sure.
00:43:42It's now time to learn who your judges are for this week.
00:43:45They're the top of their game and known for their big personalities, with skills varying from high-end design to
00:43:52real estate expertise.
00:43:54This week you'll be scrutinized in a way you've yet to experience here on the block.
00:44:00So I really hope you're ready.
00:44:01Any guesses who the judge could be?
00:44:03Someone who's been on the block for sure.
00:44:06Please welcome this week's judges for the multi-gen suites.
00:44:14It's you guys.
00:44:16What?
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:18What?
00:44:19Being judged by your peers is the ultimate vulnerable moment.
00:44:22It's something that, you know, you fear the most in this competition.
00:44:27That's right.
00:44:28It's time to check out each other's spaces.
00:44:31Yay!
00:44:33Wow.
00:44:34Where you will judge your competitors on design, creativity, and added value.
00:44:38Along with how well each team incorporated the design surprise this week.
00:44:43I've got your score cards.
00:44:45You'll assign a numerical score to each team's space.
00:44:49I'll total them up, and the highest score wins.
00:44:52Scott and Brooke, I've got your card.
00:44:54You stay with me.
00:44:55We're judging your space first.
00:44:57Teams!
00:44:59Everybody looks so beautiful and handsome today.
00:45:02Vernon, you're my guy.
00:45:03Don't let me down, brother.
00:45:04Oh, my God.
00:45:06The modern Hacienda.
00:45:14What?
00:45:16Look at this.
00:45:20Oh, my goodness.
00:45:28Oh, my gosh.
00:45:30Wow.
00:45:31You know what's interesting?
00:45:31I'm getting such modern Hacienda vibes in here.
00:45:35Hey!
00:45:39I'm shocked how they were able to lay it out and still have space.
00:45:44That's how they're going to add value in here is that this is like an apartment.
00:45:48Yeah.
00:45:48I mean, very detached from the house.
00:45:50Very guest suite.
00:45:51Mm-hmm.
00:45:52Right?
00:45:52I'm very impressed.
00:45:54Damn.
00:45:55Full kitchen.
00:45:55Not a kitchenette.
00:45:56That's like full fridge, full range.
00:45:59Not much in the way of any kind of storage.
00:46:02That is the nitpick.
00:46:04This is their faucet from the design surprise.
00:46:07Good use of it.
00:46:08Good use of it.
00:46:08The only thing that they don't have is a microwave.
00:46:10They've done it.
00:46:11Like, ours is over our stove.
00:46:16Get out of here!
00:46:17Put a hole.
00:46:18You have a fireplace!
00:46:19What a great use of space.
00:46:21I love the way they use this bench.
00:46:24It gives a little flow to the space.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:26So you've got dining, you've got living room, kitchen.
00:46:30Feels very comfy.
00:46:31It does not give me Hacienda, being from San Antonio.
00:46:34I picture something very specific when I think of Hacienda.
00:46:37Like adobe.
00:46:38But I do think it's very palatable.
00:46:53It's tiny and it's tight, but it does get it done.
00:46:56And it's like a train car where you do have privacy for the bedroom.
00:47:01Look at that tile.
00:47:03This is beautiful.
00:47:14Wow.
00:47:15Love, love, love the tile.
00:47:16The tile is my favorite thing so far.
00:47:18Same.
00:47:19And I love that it's up the walls all over.
00:47:22Killer.
00:47:23Drenches this room.
00:47:24Is theirs bigger than ours?
00:47:26How did...
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:28It feels bigger.
00:47:29Well, we'll give Brooke all the credit.
00:47:31How about that?
00:47:32Damn it.
00:47:33I know.
00:47:34The bathroom is my favorite.
00:47:35Same.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:36Dang, I wanted to hate it.
00:47:38I think they did a really good job.
00:47:40Let's go check out the next one.
00:47:47What do we have?
00:47:50Oh!
00:47:50Oh my god.
00:48:07Look at that fluted paneling back there.
00:48:10Side lit.
00:48:11Oh my god.
00:48:12Oh, oh, oh.
00:48:13Oh, turn around.
00:48:15Look at that.
00:48:17Check out that light fixture.
00:48:19Oh my gosh, I've never seen that before.
00:48:21I hate that light fixture.
00:48:23That's ugly.
00:48:24That's really ugly.
00:48:25They changed this window.
00:48:27That's beautiful.
00:48:28Which I love.
00:48:29I love the square window.
00:48:30Because we all started with two windows there, right?
00:48:32I also like the closet doors painted a different color than the walls.
00:48:36It makes them an accent piece.
00:48:39Did you check?
00:48:39These handles.
00:48:40Look at the handles.
00:48:41They're pretty.
00:48:42Ooh, the details.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:43It's very peaceful in here.
00:48:45What do you think about the floating bed in the middle of the room versus how Scott and
00:48:48Brooke had the bedroom and the hallway?
00:48:50I prefer this.
00:48:51This feels more like an en suite.
00:48:53It feels spacious.
00:48:55Now, thinking back to Brooke and Scott's, it felt like that little hallway.
00:48:58That's more of an apartment.
00:49:00With the railroad car.
00:49:00This is more like hotel room.
00:49:03Oh, here's the bench.
00:49:05That's creative, guys.
00:49:07Very cute.
00:49:07Very creative.
00:49:07Nice to have a spot off the bathroom where you could sit and do your shoes or whatever.
00:49:12Interesting.
00:49:23They added a barn door to the bathroom.
00:49:26Kept the same layout.
00:49:28Awesome.
00:49:28I love their tile.
00:49:30I love the sconces and the floating vanity.
00:49:33I think it's nice.
00:49:34Really great lights.
00:49:36It's really pretty.
00:49:37It is.
00:49:38I like it in here.
00:49:39I do too.
00:49:40Their kitchen feels bigger.
00:49:42I don't love the island.
00:49:44Oh my God, shut up.
00:49:45It's so cute.
00:49:46No.
00:49:46It's cute, but it just feels like a painted piece.
00:49:49I don't love it.
00:49:50Oh, I love it.
00:49:50There's no refrigerator.
00:49:52No microwave.
00:49:53Mm-hmm.
00:49:54Which are probably the biggest kitchen cons I would give.
00:49:58I'd stay here.
00:49:59I'd stay here too.
00:50:00Five nights.
00:50:00Go see the next place we'd stay?
00:50:02Five nights.
00:50:04Wine.
00:50:04All the wine.
00:50:05Cheese.
00:50:11Really cool door.
00:50:13Wow, Mina and Vernon.
00:50:28Wow, guys.
00:50:30So it's another apartment.
00:50:32Wow, we really went another direction.
00:50:37My parents would love to stay in here.
00:50:41But I feel like with this kitchen, I mean, this would be a nice rental.
00:50:44Yeah.
00:50:45The way they did their kitchen is so banging.
00:50:48It is smart.
00:50:49Wow.
00:50:50I like the multi-tones that they did.
00:50:53It gives it dimension.
00:50:54And the cabinets right to the ceiling.
00:50:56Are you kidding me?
00:50:57Hmm.
00:50:58Going through this space, I feel like we didn't do enough.
00:51:01Being in here now, I like this kitchen configuration better than the other two.
00:51:05I mean, this is gorgeous.
00:51:06They have all the storage that the other ones didn't have.
00:51:09Drew, I'm obsessed with this detail because it's a subtle little thing that changes the
00:51:13whole space.
00:51:20If this was a rental suite, which it could be, you're not going to get as much rent for this
00:51:26as you will with ours.
00:51:27I will say, if I were renting somewhere, I would not want to have my friends over and have my
00:51:32messy bed in my closet and all my crap everywhere.
00:51:35Bam.
00:51:36So we could still be winning there.
00:51:38Could they have benefited from having a bigger bed?
00:51:40A little bit bigger bed.
00:51:41Maybe.
00:51:42That's a cuddle bed.
00:51:43The way that this is staged, it just feels more like office furniture with the day bed and the sofa.
00:51:48Like it doesn't feel like somewhere I would really want to stay because there's not like a big comfy bed.
00:51:53Seating for four, but sleeping for one.
00:51:56Bathroom?
00:51:57Shall we?
00:51:57Bathroom.
00:52:09It's gorgeous.
00:52:11I like the brass barn door.
00:52:13The rail up top.
00:52:14Oh, that's so pretty.
00:52:15And look, we've got a little pedestal.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:17That's what they got from the challenge.
00:52:19So a little spot to keep your soap, but you have that niche too.
00:52:23I do love that they have the brass plumbing and it's exposed.
00:52:27It's very cool.
00:52:29I still like that we switched the layout of our bathroom because a center entrance is really awkward.
00:52:34I mean, this is a very specific setup where you have to want an attached apartment to your house with
00:52:40no access to the home.
00:52:42Overall, I think it's really, really sleek in here.
00:52:46I did not expect this as their design flavor though.
00:52:50It's a little unexpected.
00:52:52The only negative is that we didn't come up with this.
00:52:54One more to go.
00:53:04Oh, yes.
00:53:06Oh, my God.
00:53:21It was like a movie room.
00:53:23But so vintage.
00:53:25I feel like I'm in a movie room in the 20s.
00:53:28Wow.
00:53:29I don't know what to say.
00:53:31So you do have a door here.
00:53:34Okay.
00:53:35So you can access it directly from the main house.
00:53:38Okay.
00:53:39So you could make it a short term rental if you didn't want it to be a theater.
00:53:44I see.
00:53:45Options.
00:53:45Options.
00:53:46I always love options.
00:53:48I always love options.
00:53:48No way.
00:53:50What?
00:53:55What?
00:53:56What?
00:53:57What is happening?
00:53:59It's something.
00:54:01Stop.
00:54:02Stop.
00:54:03Stop laughing.
00:54:04I was not ready for this.
00:54:08You're speechless.
00:54:09It feels like you're in the big top.
00:54:11I was not ready for this at all.
00:54:14You're speechless.
00:54:17I feel like it's one of those moments where if you don't have anything nice to say, don't
00:54:21say it.
00:54:21Stop it.
00:54:23It's really ugly.
00:54:25There, I said it.
00:54:26It's a movie theater.
00:54:27I know we're on a budget, but my God.
00:54:31What?
00:54:32To me, that room symbolized survival.
00:54:35It was like a survivor tent.
00:54:37It was.
00:54:38It was like you could matchstick a fire in there.
00:54:40Oh, fun.
00:54:42This heats up through the counter.
00:54:44That's amazing.
00:54:45That's the chandelier that they got.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:54:48It's perfect.
00:54:49So you got their vintage chandelier.
00:54:50They got their cousin it lamp.
00:54:53Which looks perfect.
00:55:02Look at the antique mirror.
00:55:04I mean, it really, they didn't stop.
00:55:05Look at this detail.
00:55:07I don't like the chrome with all the stuff that they've done.
00:55:09I can't believe they picked chrome.
00:55:12I feel like this would ding their entire house appraisal.
00:55:16I don't think you're appreciating what's been done here.
00:55:19This door is over here for everyone else.
00:55:22They can use this whole wall now.
00:55:23I kind of wish we had thought of using the whole wall like that.
00:55:26I'm going to have nightmares.
00:55:29You're in the nightmare.
00:55:31Okay.
00:55:32I can't.
00:55:33I literally can't.
00:55:34You could adjust this slightly.
00:55:37Take out some of the couch, drop in a bed,
00:55:38and still have it function as a short-term rental.
00:55:42The question is, does this add value?
00:55:45In my opinion, the answer is yes.
00:55:47I mean, you know I'm down for a movie room anywhere.
00:55:50The big value adds, though, are they moved the door
00:55:53and they added a door to the main house.
00:55:54That could be a game changer for the appraisal for them.
00:55:57So I think they made some smart layout choices.
00:56:01They did a really good job.
00:56:02They did a really good job.
00:56:02They did a great job.
00:56:03This is cool.
00:56:04This is a vibe.
00:56:04This is a vibe.
00:56:04This is a vibe.
00:56:05This is a vibe.
00:56:17This is a vibe.
00:56:19That was nerve-wracking for sure.
00:56:21I thought I was a nice person, and now I don't feel like I am.
00:56:26She's a critic.
00:56:27Dang.
00:56:28It's got to be nerve-wracking to be judged by your peers.
00:56:31But on the other hand, I mean, how cool is it to finally get a peek at your competition?
00:56:34It was awesome.
00:56:35It's a little intimidating.
00:56:36Mm-hmm.
00:56:37I have here in my hands the envelope with the winner of the Multi-Gen Suite.
00:56:43Now, before we get to your decision, let's hear from you guys about each team.
00:56:48So, Scott and Brooke, why don't you come on up?
00:56:49And you're actually going to hear from the other teams what they thought of your design.
00:56:53Oh, okay.
00:56:54Oh, bring it on.
00:56:55So, Kim and Chelsea, let's start with you guys.
00:56:57What did you think of Scott and Brooke's Multi-Gen Suite?
00:57:00I think as creative as we thought the floor plan was, it was very locked into that.
00:57:05So, if you didn't want it as an apartment, it was not a flex space.
00:57:08It felt very much like it was kitchen, living, bedroom, and bathroom, but we thought it was really well done.
00:57:15If you are trying to use it as, it seems like, maybe like a rental income possibly as well,
00:57:20there might want to be a little bit more kitchen storage where things could be put away if somebody's going
00:57:25to be in there more than a night or two.
00:57:28I think making the bedroom is a super smart value add.
00:57:31The bathroom was beautiful.
00:57:33Only critique is that there's not really a place for a microwave.
00:57:37But overall, you guys did an amazing job, man. Amazing.
00:57:40Scott and Brooke, well done. You may take your spot back in the lineup.
00:57:43Thank you, sir.
00:57:44Thank you very much.
00:57:45Good job, guys.
00:57:46Appreciate everyone's feedback.
00:57:48Tanya and Drew, why don't you step in? We'll do some judging of you guys.
00:57:53When I walked into Tanya and Drew's space, I immediately melted onto the countertop.
00:57:59I fell in love with it. I felt like I was in a high-end store.
00:58:03I loved the rug. I loved the floating bed in the middle of the room.
00:58:06I loved where they put the sofa. I loved how they did the kitchen.
00:58:08And honestly, I didn't even notice the ugly stuff that they had to work with from the competition.
00:58:14I think that the placement of the bed in the middle of the room was a huge risk.
00:58:18I loved it.
00:58:22Continue.
00:58:24And polarizing for certain people.
00:58:26I thought the wallpaper was probably the best feature in the entire space.
00:58:31Best wallpaper ever.
00:58:32Gave it a very unique hotel-like vibe.
00:58:36Yep.
00:58:36As soon as I walked in, guys, I thought I was in the best hotel in Vegas.
00:58:39I mean, it just felt amazing. Like, if I was staying somewhere, I would want to stay there.
00:58:43It represents everything. What I look for when I want to stay somewhere.
00:58:46The bathroom was beautiful. I really like the backslash, too.
00:58:50A critique coming from a potential income standpoint would be not having more of a full kitchen.
00:58:57I think it would work great for a short-term rental, but anyone that was going to stay there more
00:59:01than a night or two,
00:59:02just having the cooktop and the wine fridge could be limiting.
00:59:05Her and I both, right when we walked in, we had that same feeling of this is a place where
00:59:10I would want to stay.
00:59:11It did make me want to bring my bag over and just move in.
00:59:14So, very well done. It was beautiful.
00:59:17Next up, it's Mina and Vernon. Come on down.
00:59:21I was shocked at how big of a kitchen you could get into that space.
00:59:25So, well done there. You had dining for four, but a bed for one.
00:59:31There wasn't enough space for everything else that you would need for that big of an apartment.
00:59:36But, I mean, I thought it was gorgeous.
00:59:39The way you laid it out was just spot on.
00:59:43Everything from the cabinet of color in the kitchen was fabulous.
00:59:46The fact that it was a keyless entry. So, naturally, you're going like, this is a rental.
00:59:50The faucet in the shower, the open.
00:59:53So cool.
00:59:54I was like, oh, okay. I was like, that's how we're going to play. Okay.
00:59:57I thought your hardware in the shower was gorgeous.
01:00:00There was some steampunk gold cool element to it. I loved it.
01:00:04You have everything in there for the value add.
01:00:08However, when you see it all together, it maybe felt like it was trying too hard to put everything in
01:00:15there.
01:00:15And I think that you're playing the long game 100%.
01:00:18Yeah.
01:00:18Like, there's value add, value add, value add more than any other space that I saw.
01:00:22Any hating you're getting is intimidation from him.
01:00:24All right.
01:00:25Let's bring in Kim and Chelsea.
01:00:28So, Tonya Drew, what did you guys think of Kim and Chelsea's multi-gen space?
01:00:32I want to tell you, I applaud you for your creativity and your risk taking.
01:00:37Because I walked in there and my jaw dropped.
01:00:41And I didn't know if it was just because I was so like, what is happening in here?
01:00:46Where am I?
01:00:47But the decor, the matchbooks, the corduroy couch, the shag carpet.
01:00:53I felt like Burt Reynolds need to be laying naked on that with like a cigarette in his mouth.
01:00:58Just like hairy chest out.
01:01:00The tiniest detail, but the thing I was the most, most obsessed with was the antique mirror on top of
01:01:07the antique mirror.
01:01:08And I feel like that's what I'm most impressed about with your guys' design style.
01:01:12It's just so layered and so thought out.
01:01:16Girls, I am the girl that will tell you if you have something in your teeth.
01:01:19I will tell you if your husband's cheating on you.
01:01:21And I will tell you if you look fat in a dress.
01:01:24It's okay.
01:01:25Rip us apart.
01:01:26It's okay.
01:01:27I was honestly disappointed when I walked in.
01:01:29I thought, oh my gosh, this is going to be the jewel box of the century.
01:01:33And I walked in and I was like, fabric people gave you frickin' drop cloth for your ceilings.
01:01:38It looked like his jeans.
01:01:40I'm like, what is going on?
01:01:41What's wrong with Ty's pants?
01:01:43What did Ty do to you?
01:01:44He dragged me to the fire.
01:01:46Nothing in my wildest dreams could have prepared me to walk through that door.
01:01:51Scott, is there anything you guys would have done differently?
01:01:53Yo, stop it!
01:01:55There's nothing in there that I could have imagined of myself.
01:01:59You weathered that storm.
01:02:00Why don't you take your places back in the lineup?
01:02:02I'm happy to leave that scenario.
01:02:04Great job, guys.
01:02:06So you guys know how it works.
01:02:07The winner will receive $3,000 to be used on next week's design, thanks to the Wells Fargo
01:02:14Active Cash credit card.
01:02:15Or add $1,000 to your final appraisal on the big finale.
01:02:21Okay, here we go.
01:02:22The winner of the Rock the Block Multi-Gen Suite is...
01:02:34Tanya!
01:02:37Yay!
01:02:39Yay!
01:02:41Yay!
01:02:42Yay!
01:02:43Yay!
01:02:44It feels great to get that first W. Hopefully there's many more to come.
01:02:47Just to get over that hump and feel what it feels like to be on that right track.
01:02:52Probably a better feeling than the others because we're being judged by our peers.
01:02:57So that's a huge compliment.
01:02:59All right, now you guys have got a big choice to make.
01:03:01Now that you've won, you've got to decide.
01:03:03Are you going to take the $3,000 toward next week's design?
01:03:08Or are you going to do the $1,000 towards your final appraisal in the big finale?
01:03:14Ty, we're going to take the $1,000.
01:03:16What?
01:03:17Yes!
01:03:18No way!
01:03:19We're going to take the $1,000 towards the final appraisal.
01:03:21Wow.
01:03:23We did not win.
01:03:24We did not win the Multi-Gen Suite.
01:03:26It's a bummer.
01:03:27We are now the only team that does not have a win this season.
01:03:32So we really need to lock it in and just figure out a way to get on the board.
01:03:37You guys rest up and get ready for the next section of the house because we're not done
01:03:43quite yet.
01:03:44Good.
01:03:45All right, rest up.
01:03:47All right.
01:03:48The scariest thing that is happening right now is that from the beginning, Tanya and
01:03:51Drew have been a threat.
01:03:52And now for the first time, we're seeing the fruits of their labor.
01:03:57And things just got worse.
01:04:00Next time on Rock the Block.
01:04:03This week, the office, laundry room, and RV garage.
01:04:06The big garage terrifies me.
01:04:09If we get through this week, I'll be impressed.
01:04:11What is that?
01:04:12Uh, very good question.
01:04:14We've been saving for a big move.
01:04:16And now is the time.
01:04:18Like, this is that move.
01:04:19Are you mad because it's not what you said?
01:04:20Or are you mad because you don't like it?
01:04:22Those are both great reasons to be mad.
01:04:25Luanne de Lisette.
01:04:26I heard you.
01:04:26Welcome to the Block.
01:04:28I need a place for storage.
01:04:30There's nowhere to put anything.
