00:00Show open, take one.
00:03En un mundo donde el ship lap
00:06significa serenidad
00:07y las tiendas brillan con timidez.
00:11SÃ, no es ese mundo.
00:13¡Woooh!
00:15Una mujer se va a parar de nada.
00:18¡Hora!
00:19¡Hey, que es yo!
00:21Para arreglar las casas de las casas de América.
00:24No sé si me gusta o me gusta.
00:28So far, she's conquered the worst of the Great Plains.
00:33This place is mayhem.
00:36The most shocking in the Midwest.
00:38One person's trash is another person's art.
00:42The awfulest in the Ozarks.
00:45What?
00:46We have taken down thousands of dingle-dangle birds.
00:50Every corner.
00:52And now she'll take on the Big East.
00:56I'm getting too old for this.
01:01We're going back East, baby.
01:03And I have a feeling that amongst those picturesque landscapes and towns,
01:08unexpected ugly lies hidden.
01:11Which is why I'm in the quaint Sykesville, Maryland.
01:16It's adorable.
01:18With its historic Main Street and its vintage train station,
01:23it actually won Coolest Small Town in America.
01:27Yeah.
01:28That's a real thing.
01:30I'm here to meet Jeff and Jill.
01:33We're going to find out if the coolest small town in America
01:36also has the ugliest house in America.
01:41Stranger things have happened.
01:47It's big.
01:48Maybe a little bit awkward.
01:52We shall see.
02:03Hi!
02:03Oh, my God.
02:04Hi!
02:05We are Posse Deep.
02:07Nice to meet you.
02:08Nice to meet you.
02:08Okay, what are our names?
02:10Bella.
02:10Bella.
02:11I like that name.
02:12What's your name?
02:12Dylan.
02:13Dylan.
02:14I like that okay.
02:15What's your name?
02:16Hayden.
02:16Hayden!
02:17Love that name.
02:18No, I'm kidding.
02:18I'm sorry, guys.
02:19Okay, well, let's check it out.
02:21Let me in, Hayden.
02:22I'm moving.
02:24I'm Jill, and this is my husband, Jeff.
02:26We live in Sykesville, Maryland, in this crazy cabin of confusion.
02:29We have six floors in our house, I think.
02:33One, two, three, four.
02:35I guess if you consider this a five, six, seven, so I guess it'd be seven.
02:40I thought it was an amazing house.
02:42When we came back during the inspection, that's when he was kind of like, uh-oh, what did we get
02:47ourselves into?
02:48We're inside, but it looks like we're outside.
02:50We got outdoor windows, doors, sliding doors everywhere, pink ductwork going through the house, and just all different colors in
02:56different places, different woods.
02:58Every room you go into is like another adventure as you walk through it.
03:02We're coming up.
03:03I'm coming up the landing.
03:06You got like, what is it called?
03:08Uh, like a little stone wall.
03:10Don't know how that got there.
03:11I put the plants in there just because I didn't know what to do with the wall.
03:15Just to make it look a little prettier.
03:17And you guys were like what?
03:19Uh, plants.
03:22Okay, what are you going to show me first?
03:25The great room.
03:26They like elephants.
03:27They liked animals in general, actually.
03:31Oh, my gosh.
03:34Whoa!
03:35Whoa!
03:38This is an amazing room.
03:40This is his trophy room for all his nieces.
03:44You could put two more floors in here, right?
03:47And that was our fault when we first bought the house.
03:49They had so many different mounts and different heads all on the walls, and they had a full giraffe right
03:54in the center.
03:56Stop!
03:56So you had all the animals in here.
04:00These look like portholes.
04:02Yep.
04:02Was this supposed to be the ark?
04:04It's giving me arky vibes.
04:06Yes.
04:07I never thought of it that way.
04:08Yeah, that makes sense.
04:10Wow.
04:11I feel like he kind of should have saved this for last.
04:13Unless there's something crazier.
04:15Well, there might be.
04:20Oh!
04:24Look at this badness!
04:27Again, I don't know if I love it or hate it.
04:32This is definitely the party room.
04:35Apparently, they were on a cruise somewhere, and this bar was on the cruise ship.
04:39They fell in love with it.
04:42Those are ducks.
04:43Those are the only animals that remained.
04:45I mean, they had a cocktail or two in here, for sure.
04:50Where are we off to next?
04:51We are going to head out the door here to the left, go down the hallway.
04:56And then I'll let you know once you're out that hallway.
04:59Okay.
05:01They need a nap.
05:03Like the casinos.
05:05You are here.
05:06You want to get to here.
05:09Start.
05:11Straight ahead, if you see out there, we go.
05:14What?
05:15So this is our pink bedroom.
05:18It is.
05:22What is happening here?
05:24Yeah, there's sliding glass doors.
05:26So this is that original part of the house.
05:29This was the main section they had here, and then they built on with the other one on the back
05:32side,
05:33and they decided to connect it somehow between these little funky staircases.
05:42You guys up?
05:43Yep.
05:44Hello.
05:45Good morning.
05:46Good morning.
05:46Breakfast?
05:48If someone handed me the plans to this house, I'd be like, what is this madness?
05:52So this is the bathroom.
05:54Correct.
05:54Can I check that out?
05:55Yes.
05:56Oh, my goodness.
05:58Oh, my goodness.
06:00This is the Love Shack bathroom.
06:02The shower is actually probably my least favorite part of this bathroom, if it can get any worse.
06:07I call it the UFO shower because I feel like I'm encapsulated.
06:10It's tight.
06:13It's tight.
06:14This is a functional nightmare.
06:16I have one more place to show you.
06:17Okay.
06:19This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
06:25I don't like it.
06:26I like it better from down there.
06:28Not this place if you're not a fan of heights.
06:30Yeah.
06:31This ain't for me.
06:33Let me say something.
06:34I've been to a lot of houses.
06:36Almost a hundred.
06:38This is Cuckoo Bananas.
06:43So, as you know, you are one of three semifinalists in the Big East.
06:49I'm going to thank you for showing me your home.
06:51Thank you for coming.
06:52Thank you for coming.
06:53I'm going to find my way back out the door.
06:54Wish me luck.
06:55Give her the map.
07:01That was an interesting tour.
07:03A tour of the amazing arc.
07:08The amazing arc.
07:09Get it?
07:09M-A-Z-E dash I-N-G.
07:11Uh-huh.
07:12The appearance?
07:12A three-story maze.
07:16It feels like, is there a term?
07:18Connect-a-box?
07:20I'm coining it.
07:21Connect-a-box.
07:22The awkwardness is having to navigate seven floors at varying levels in order to get around
07:29your own house.
07:30You'll get altitude sickness before you even make it to your destination.
07:34The surprise?
07:35The actual arc.
07:37The literal space to keep animals.
07:41The big east.
07:43The big east.
07:43Noah would have been proud.
07:46Next up on my epic quest to find Big Ugly in the big east, we're heading north and east
07:52to a small town deep in the woods where the population is low and the cell phone service is non
07:58-existent.
07:59I'm in Vershear, Vermont.
08:02Vershear got its name by combining Vermont and New Hampshire.
08:06Vershear.
08:07Vermont, New Hampshire, Vershear.
08:10I'm here to meet Brooklyn and Dylan and to see if they have the ugliest house in America.
08:20It might have been worth the trip.
08:25Hello!
08:27Everybody, come outside!
08:30Brooklyn?
08:31Yes.
08:32Dylan?
08:33Braxton?
08:34Cash?
08:35Bodhi?
08:36Bodhi?
08:37Yeah.
08:38You're very handsome.
08:39Yeah.
08:40Yeah, yeah, I figured you'd know that.
08:43How do you guys like it here?
08:44It's great.
08:45I don't like the woods.
08:46I like spiders.
08:49God bless.
08:51Okay, tell me about this house.
08:53Is there a significance for the colors?
08:54We do love orange, so great color choice, but it's a lot.
09:00At least you never get lost when you're driving up to it.
09:03You know you're there.
09:03No kidding.
09:04Should we check out the inside of the house?
09:06Let's do it.
09:06Let's go inside.
09:07Why don't you guys go play off in the woods for a little bit while we check it out?
09:10In the woods.
09:13Is there a specific style?
09:15An artist special, maybe?
09:18I call it a hodgepodge.
09:20This is how I describe the style.
09:25Take it!
09:29My name is Brooklyn.
09:30This is my husband, Dylan.
09:32We live in Versher, Vermont, and this is our nightmare.
09:37So I showed it to him as a joke initially, and he was like, I kind of like it.
09:42Once I saw the tree in the house, I was like, oh, that's pretty cool.
09:44I can dig that.
09:46We like everything other than the decor, the actual inside.
09:50There's open doorways, there's open windows into other people's rooms.
09:55We definitely want to make it less circus-like.
10:01I think 70s Winger House was kind of the way I described it.
10:04It looked like a kind of a place that might have been like a hippie commune.
10:09It's a lot.
10:10There's a lot to look at.
10:12Well, let's go see more of the house.
10:14Yes, after you.
10:19We got a little bit of everything.
10:21Y'all, underneath the birds is the real railing?
10:26The birds are the railing.
10:27The birds are the railing.
10:28Yeah, it's the birds and the trees all the way up.
10:31This is supposed to be a pool.
10:33Like a water-featured room.
10:35Oh, is that what it is?
10:36Come on.
10:37And then for seating, it's all stone.
10:40Concrete, yeah.
10:41I look at your couches and I think hemorrhoids.
10:46All right, let's check out this kitchen.
10:50Oh!
10:52What is going on with the ceiling?
10:54What is this design choice?
10:57I think it's called long trowel.
10:58They basically just take the mud and just smear it.
11:02And then, of course, the monkey cabinets.
11:06I feel like I need to center myself.
11:10I would take some breaths before you go to the next room.
11:13Oh, God!
11:14Before you move on, absolutely.
11:16Next, we're going to take you into our party bathroom.
11:18Party bathroom.
11:22Mm-mm.
11:24This is sensory overload.
11:27This is a fifth-grade project.
11:29My reaction in the living room is, why?
11:31In the kitchen, it's like, ugh.
11:33The bathroom is like, Jesus Christ.
11:36Let's go to our bedroom next.
11:40So this is where we come to rest.
11:43This would make me crazy, because I can't put blackout curtains on that.
11:46Well, this is just two pieces of plastic.
11:49And when we moved in, we actually saw a mouse crawling right up it.
11:53So it's not there now.
11:54They're gone.
11:55They're gone, yeah.
11:56First of all, you're asking for mice.
11:58This is a thatched roof.
12:00And there's nothing underneath it, either.
12:02So it's just, like, the underside of the floor upstairs.
12:06This is their drop ceiling.
12:07What are we doing?
12:09Next, we're going to check out our bathroom.
12:15What the actual is going on in here?
12:20What kind of sink is this in your bathroom?
12:23It's a deep sink.
12:25We see our dead spiders in the bathtub.
12:27Yeah, I was going to say.
12:27So we can't take a bath in there, because they just...
12:29Do you guys...
12:30Oh, yeah.
12:31There we go.
12:32Those might have been this morning's casualties, honestly.
12:35This is my spider-smashing box.
12:36Oh, God!
12:40It's a lot of...
12:42A lot of...
12:44Anybody else itching?
12:46Is it just me?
12:46I itch.
12:47You itch?
12:49Let's head upstairs.
12:53Colors, colors, colors.
12:56I'm calmer.
12:57The green helps.
12:58The green helps.
12:58And the blue.
13:00And the...
13:00Yellow and the red.
13:02The Barney purple.
13:03Hoosah, as they say.
13:06Okay, you guys.
13:07Well, I'm going to say thank you for showing me your home.
13:09And then I'm going to do my best to avoid mice and spiders.
13:13Good luck.
13:14Good luck.
13:14Oh!
13:16The fact that you have to wish me luck...
13:18It's not a good sign.
13:23Okay.
13:26So that was the Mishmash Hodgepodge Color-Blocked Animal Sanctuary.
13:32Appearance?
13:33It was sensory overload.
13:35All the painting.
13:36It was so much.
13:38What's awkward about it?
13:39When you're building things out of paper mache and calling it a railing.
13:43How do you keep that neat?
13:45The surprise?
13:47Mice coming out of the walls.
13:48Spiders everywhere.
13:50The Big East is a big mess.
13:55From the backwoods to the big city.
13:57And there's no telling what I'll find.
14:00I'm headed 400 miles south to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
14:04When I set off on my quest to find the ugliest house in America, I expected remote towns, dirt roads,
14:12maybe a tumbleweed tumbling by.
14:15Instead, I'm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
14:20Philly.
14:20But that's the thing about ugly houses.
14:23They're not always hidden in the woods.
14:24Sometimes they're hidden in plain sight.
14:30I mean, I guess we'll have to see what's inside.
14:33Indeed.
14:42Hi!
14:45How are you?
14:46How are you?
14:46Oh, dang it.
14:46Wait, did that work?
14:47No.
14:50Welcome to our ugly home.
14:53Come on.
14:55Oh, my goodness.
15:03My name is Phoenix, and this is my mom who bought the ugliest house in America.
15:07Our house looks like it did back in the 70s.
15:10Almost nothing has changed from the carpet to the wallpaper, to the cabinets.
15:17Every room is a different color.
15:19I don't like how it looks.
15:21Dirty is nasty.
15:24Green, red is ugly.
15:28Green, green.
15:31And more green.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:35Is this the height of the chandelier?
15:37Be careful.
15:40Yes.
15:41Watch your head.
15:43Who is setting the chandelier at this height?
15:47This house was the home of the famous Muhammad Ali.
15:51Oh.
15:51He lived here, and he then sold the house to Kobe Bryant.
15:55And his grandmother was the last person who lived in this house.
15:58Kobe's grandmother.
15:59Yes.
15:59Kobe's grandmother.
16:01This house has legacy.
16:03Two legacies.
16:04Where's next?
16:05We're gonna go to the kitchen.
16:07The kitchen.
16:07Okay.
16:07I'm scared.
16:09Welcome to our kitchen.
16:11Yes.
16:12It's surprisingly small for how big the house is.
16:14Yes.
16:15You know, all the drawers are just, you know, old and ugly.
16:21This brown kitchen with that drop ceiling.
16:25And they're all, like, different colors.
16:27Like, they've aged in different ways.
16:30This paneling has been here since 1970s.
16:34And we have a photo of Muhammad Ali using the telephone.
16:39Oh, this the Ali phone.
16:44Yes.
16:45Hello.
16:46You've reached the Ali residence?
16:48Yes.
16:49Wow.
16:50Uh-huh.
16:50So you gotta put a plaque over it that said Muhammad spoke on this.
16:55Yes.
16:55Yes.
16:56Keep the phone.
16:58Toss the rest.
17:01So we are going to go to the basement.
17:04Oh, gosh.
17:06Yeah.
17:06Whoa.
17:09Oh, .
17:10Watch your step.
17:12Oh, my gosh.
17:14What can I get you ladies?
17:16Here in the old 70s basement pub.
17:19Yes.
17:20What was this space right here?
17:24Oh.
17:24Is this where the dancers were?
17:26Yeah.
17:29Oh, this is where Ali was like.
17:33You like my husband?
17:39Good job.
17:40OK, where are we going next?
17:41The main bathroom.
17:42OK.
17:43The bathroom.
17:44It's big.
17:47That's what I got from that statement.
17:49Uh-huh.
17:51OK.
17:52Bathroom.
17:53These outside sliding doors?
17:55Yes.
17:56What?
18:00What?
18:04This is the bathroom.
18:06Room.
18:09What is this?
18:11This is the tub?
18:12Yeah.
18:12This is the tub.
18:13Who said, give me a circular tub?
18:17I want it to be 18 inches deep.
18:20And I want it to be lavender.
18:23Right.
18:24So when we come in this bathroom, we just repeat Muhammad Ali's statement.
18:28Float like a butterfly.
18:30Sting like a bee.
18:33OK.
18:34So I wish you good luck.
18:36Thank you.
18:37And I'm going to get out of this hot box.
18:39Yes, it's so hot.
18:42Bye, guys.
18:43Thank you.
18:47Calling this place Ali's Thrilla in Philadelphia.
18:55Appearance.
18:56It's ugly.
18:57It looks worn.
19:00Worn.
19:02The awkwardness?
19:03You've got dropped ceilings that you'll hit your head on.
19:06So proceed with caution.
19:08And that's where we come with the surprise.
19:11That tub.
19:12That round tile, 16-inch deep tub.
19:18I'm going to say it.
19:20The biggies got big ugly.
19:25My adventures through the Big East uncovered big ugly like I've never seen before.
19:30And now there are three majorly hideous contenders to choose from.
19:34But which one will make it to the finals?
19:40My big adventure across the Big East was a big success.
19:44And while all three contenders showed me an ugly I'll never forget, only one house can move on to the
19:50finals.
19:53It's between a mansion maze on wheels.
19:55Ho, ho, ho!
19:58I don't know if I love it or hate it.
20:02A vermin-filled hodgepodge with a view.
20:05This is how I describe the style.
20:09Take it!
20:10And a defending champ whose decor is ready to be retired.
20:14This is the bath.
20:16Room!
20:20It's that time.
20:22We're moving, we're grooving, and we have some people to call.
20:25Because they have the ugliest house in their region.
20:37Brooklyn and Dylan! How are ya?
20:40Good, how are you?
20:41How are you feeling about having the ugliest house in the Big East?
20:46Good!
20:48Between your house's bizarre layout, chaotic decor, and pest problems galore, there was no doubt that your home was a
20:55special kind of ugly.
20:57Congrats, you are one step closer.
20:59I'm going to wish you luck and tell the kiddos I said hi.
21:03Thank you so much.
21:04Thank you very much.
21:05Bye, guys!
21:07Congratulations, Mishmash Hodgepodge.
21:10Your ugly made my eyes and skin crawl.
21:13But the question remains, are you ugly enough to win it all?
21:17Because my quest to the far reaches of the country to discover all that is ugly continues.
21:22And there are plenty more houses to see.
21:25Coming up.
21:26Who goes there?
21:27Oh, for a dungeon.
21:28Not that bad.
21:30I'm sorry, is there a chicken in your house?
21:32You can wait to see her?
21:34Yeah?
21:34I'm ready.
