00:00Show open, take one.
00:04In a world where shiplap means serenity
00:08and subway tiles sparkle with timeless taste.
00:11Yeah, this isn't that world.
00:13Whoa!
00:15One woman will stop at nothing.
00:18Hurrah.
00:19Hey, that's me.
00:21To track down the ugliest houses across America.
00:25I don't know if I love it or hate it.
00:28So far, she's conquered the worst of the Great Plains.
00:33This place is mayhem.
00:36The most shocking in the Midwest.
00:39One 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.
00:51Every 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
01:07and towns, unexpected 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,
01:24it 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
01:37also has the ugliest house in America.
01:41Stranger things have happened.
01:47It's big.
01:49Maybe 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.
02:08OK.
02:09What are our names?
02:10Bella.
02:10Bella.
02:11I like that name.
02:12What's your name?
02:13Dylan.
02:13Dylan.
02:14I like that OK.
02:15What's your name?
02:16Hayden.
02:16Hayden!
02:17Love that name.
02:18I'm kidding.
02:19OK.
02:20Well, 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.
02:30We have six floors in our house, I think.
02:33One, two, three, four.
02:36I guess if you consider this a five, six, seven.
02:39So I guess it would be seven.
02:41I thought it was an amazing house.
02:42When we came back during the inspection, that's when he was kind of like, uh-oh.
02:47What did we get ourselves into?
02:48We're inside, but it looks like we're outside.
02:50We got outdoor windows, doors, sliding doors everywhere.
02:53Pink duck work going through the house and just all different colors, different places,
02:57different 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?
03:08It's like a little stone wall.
03:10Don't know how that got there.
03:12I put the plants in there just because I didn't know what to do with the wall.
03:16Just to make it look a little prettier.
03:17And you guys were like what?
03:20Plants.
03:23Okay, what are you going to show me first?
03:25The great room.
03:26They like elephants.
03:27They liked animals in general, actually.
03:32Oh my gosh.
03:34Whoa!
03:35Whoa!
03:38This is an amazing room.
03:40This is his trophy room for all his pieces.
03:44You could put two more floors in here.
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!
03:57So you had all the animals in here.
04:00These look like portholes.
04:02Yep.
04:03Was this supposed to be the arc?
04:04It's giving me arky vibes.
04:06Yes.
04:07I never thought of it that way.
04:08Yeah.
04:08That makes sense.
04:10Wow.
04:11I feel like you kind of should have saved this for last.
04:13Unless there's something crazier.
04:15Well, there might be.
04:24Oh, look 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.
04:48For sure.
04:50Where are we off to next?
04:51We are going to head out the door here to the left.
04:54Go down the hallway.
04:56And then you're, I'll let you know once you're out that hallway.
05:00Okay.
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.
05:13We're here.
05:14What?
05:16So this is our pink.
05:18It is.
05:20Bedroom.
05:22What is happening here?
05:24Yeah, there's sliding glass doors.
05:27So this is that original part of the house.
05:29This was the main section they had here.
05:31And then they built on with the other one on the backside.
05:33And they decided to connect it somehow between these little funky staircases.
05:42You guys up?
05:44Yep.
05:44Hello.
05:45Good morning.
05:46Good morning.
05:47Breakfast?
05:48If someone handed me the plans to this house, I'd be like, what is this madness?
05:53So this is the bathroom.
05:54Correct.
05:55Can I check that out?
05:55Yes.
05:56Oh my goodness.
05:58Oh my goodness.
06:00This is the Love Shack bathroom.
06:03The shower, 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.
06:12It's tight.
06:14This is a functional nightmare.
06:16I have one more place to show you.
06:18Okay.
06:20This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
06:25I don't like it.
06:27I like it better from down there.
06:28Right.
06:28Not this space if you're not a fan of heights.
06:31Yeah.
06:31This ain't for me.
06:33Let me say something.
06:35I've been to a lot of houses.
06:36Almost a hundred.
06:38This is Cuckoo Bananas.
06:44So, 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.
06:52I'm going to find my way back out the door.
06:55Wish me luck.
06:56Give her the map.
07:01That was an interesting tour.
07:03A tour of the mazing arc.
07:08The mazing arc.
07:09Get it? M-A-Z-E dash I-N-G.
07:11Uh-huh.
07:12The appearance?
07:13A three-story maze.
07:16It feels like, is there a term?
07:18Connect the box?
07:20I'm coining it.
07:21Connect the box.
07:23The awkwardness is having to navigate seven floors at varying levels
07:28in order to get around your own house.
07:30You'll get altitude sickness before you even make it to your destination.
07:35The surprise?
07:36The actual arc.
07:37Literal space to keep animals.
07:41Wow.
07:42The Big East.
07:43Noah would have been proud.
07:46Next up on my epic quest to find Big Ugly in the Big East.
07:51We're heading north and east to a small town deep in the woods where the population is low and the
07:57cell phone service is non-existent.
07:59I'm in Vershear, Vermont.
08:02Vershear got its name by combining Vermont and New Hampshire.
08:06Vershear.
08:08Vershear.
08:08New Hampshire.
08:10Vershear.
08:10I'm here to meet Brooklyn and Dylan.
08:13And to see if they have the ugliest house in America.
08:20It might have been worth the trip.
08:25Hello!
08:26Hello!
08:28Everybody come outside!
08:30Brooklyn.
08:31Yes.
08:32Dylan.
08:33Braxton.
08:34Cash.
08:35Bodie.
08:36Bodie?
08:37Yeah.
08:38You're very handsome.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Yeah.
08:41I figured you'd know that.
08:43How do you guys like it here?
08:44It's great.
08:45I don't like the woods.
08:47I like spiders.
08:49God bless.
08:50Okay.
08:51Tell me about this house.
08:53Is there a significance for the colors?
08:55We do love orange.
08:56So 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.
09:21This 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.
09:33And this is our nightmare.
09:37So I showed it to him as a joke initially.
09:40And 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.
09:45I can dig that.
09:46We like everything other than the decor, the actual inside.
09:51There's open doorways.
09:52There's open windows into other people's rooms.
09:56We definitely want to make it less circus-like.
10:01I think 70s Swinger 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.
10:29It'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?
10:36Stone.
10:36Come on.
10:37And then for seating, it's all stone.
10:40Yes.
10:40Concrete, yeah.
10:41I look at your couches and I think hemorrhoids.
10:47All right, let's check out this kitchen.
10:51Oh!
10:53What is going on with the ceiling?
10:54What is this design choice?
10:57I think it's called long trow.
10:59They 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 part.
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?
11:32In the kitchen, it's like...
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.
11:47Well, 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. They're gone, yeah.
11:56First of all, you're asking for mice.
11:59This is a thatched roof.
12:00And there's nothing underneath it, either.
12:02So it's just, like, the underside of the floor upstairs.
12:05This is their drop ceiling.
12:07What are we doing?
12:09Next, we're going to check out our bathroom.
12:15What the actual...
12:18is 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, so we can't take a bath in there, because they...
12:29You guys...
12:30Oh, yeah. There we go.
12:32Those might have been this morning's casualties, honestly.
12:34This is my spider-smashing box.
12:37Oh, God!
12:40It's a lot of...
12:43A lot of...
12:45Anybody else itching?
12:46Is it just me? I itch. You itch?
12:49Let's head upstairs.
12:53Colors, colors, colors.
12:56I'm calmer.
12:57The green helps.
12:58The green helps.
12:59And the blue.
13:00And the...
13:00Yellow and the red.
13:02The Barney purple.
13:04Hoosah, 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.
13:16The fact that you have to wish me luck?
13:19It'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 rally.
13:43How do you keep that meat?
13:46The 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.
13:58And 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,
14:08I expected remote towns.
14:11Dirt roads.
14:13Maybe a tumbleweed tumbling by.
14:16Instead, I'm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
14:19Philly.
14:20But that's the thing about ugly houses.
14:23They're not always hidden in the woods.
14:25Sometimes they're hidden in plain sight.
14:30I mean, I guess we'll have to see what's inside.
14:42Hi!
14:44How are you?
14:46Come in!
14:46Wait, did that work?
14:48No.
14:50Welcome to our ugly home.
14:53Come on in.
14:56Oh 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.
15:22Dirty is nasty.
15:24Green, red is ugly.
15:28Green.
15:30Green, green.
15:31And more green.
15:33I'm sorry.
15:35Is this the height of the chandelier?
15:38Be 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.
15:56And 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.
16:07Okay.
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.
16:28Like, they've aged in different ways.
16:29This paneling has been here since 1970s.
16:34And we have a photo of Muhammad Ali using the telephone.
16:40Oh, this the Ali phone!
16:44Yes.
16:45Hello.
16:47You've reached the Ali residence?
16:48Yes.
16:49Wow!
16:50Uh-huh.
16:51So you gotta put a plaque over it that said Muhammad spoke on this.
16:55Yes.
16:56Yes.
16:57Keep the phone.
16:57And then toss the rest.
17:01So we are going to go to the basement.
17:05Oh, gosh.
17:05Yeah.
17:07Whoa!
17:09Oh, .
17:10Watch your steps.
17:12Be careful.
17:12Oh, my gosh.
17:14What can I get you ladies?
17:16Here in the old 70s basement pub.
17:20Yes.
17:20What was this space right here?
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.
17:40Okay.
17:40Where are we going next?
17:41The main bathroom.
17:42Okay.
17:43The bathroom.
17:44It's big.
17:47That's what I got from that statement.
17:49Uh-huh.
17:51Okay.
17:53Bathroom.
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.
18:13This 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.
18:24So when we come in this bathroom, we just repeat Muhammad Ali's statement.
18:28Float like a butterfly.
18:30Sting like a bee.
18:33Okay.
18:34So I wish you good luck.
18:36And I'm gonna get out of this hot box.
18:40Yes, it's so hot.
18:42Bye, guys.
18:47Calling this place Ali's Thrilla in Philadelphia.
18:55Appearance.
18:56It's ugly.
18:57It looks worn.
19:01Worn.
19:01The 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.
19:19I'm gonna say it.
19:20The Big East 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.
19:35But 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,
19:48only one house can move on to the finals.
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.
20:03A vermin-filled hodgepodge with a view.
20:06This 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 bathroom.
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!
20:39How are ya?
20:40Good, how are you?
20:41How are you feeling about having the ugliest house in the Big East?
20:46Good!
20:47Between your house's bizarre layout, chaotic decor, and pest problems galore,
20:53there was no doubt that your home was a special kind of ugly.
20:57Congrats!
20:57You are one step closer.
20:59I'm gonna wish you luck, and tell the kiddos I said hi.
21:03Thank you so much.
21:04Thank you very much.
21:06Bye, guys!
21:08Congratulations, 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?
21:29Not that bad!
21:30I'm sorry, is there a chicken in your house?
21:33We can't wait to see you!
