Battle on the Beach - Season 5 Episode 1 - You Gotta Want the Win

Transcript

00:00:00Three teams, seven weeks, $100,000 renovation, and one winner.

00:00:15Are you ready?

00:00:18Second place is the first loser.

00:00:20I'm here to take my team to the top of the podium, baby.

00:00:26This is a real battle with real properties.

00:00:29And unfortunately, it's going to damage real egos.

00:00:33I know what the judges want, and $50,000 is on the line, and we have to deliver.

00:00:40We handpicked you as our three teams because we saw your work and your commitment.

00:00:46Are you kidding me?

00:00:47This is a mother-daughter team in overalls from Nebraska.

00:00:51They're ready to prove something to the world.

00:00:54We do hear you.

00:00:55We do hear you.

00:00:55Oh, good.

00:00:56You do hear me.

00:00:56And sometimes we follow through with it, and sometimes it's enough.

00:01:00For Angelina and Steven, this is more than a game.

00:01:03They're parents of four kids.

00:01:05They want to use this money to buy their first home.

00:01:07They have a lot of talent.

00:01:09They have a lot of grit, and this would change their life.

00:01:11We're going to win this week.

00:01:13Optimism.

00:01:13I love it.

00:01:15Anna and Josiah have something that I consider priceless, which is called youth.

00:01:22They run rental properties, so they're not rookies in this game.

00:01:25And I think they're going to outwork the other two teams.

00:01:29Wow.

00:01:29I want it.

00:01:30You've got to want the win.

00:01:35Everything's ugly.

00:01:37Something might be broken.

00:01:38That's three different floors.

00:01:41I'm stressed about time and money.

00:01:45Oh, this is fun.

00:01:46What?

00:01:48I love this.

00:01:51Oh.

00:01:52Oh.

00:01:53Hmm.

00:01:54This is interesting.

00:01:56This opportunity is definitely going to change our lives personally.

00:02:01One in a million.

00:02:02Babe!

00:02:04Kind of busy right now.

00:02:05This needs to be handled, like, today.

00:02:09See, we are so different on our thoughts.

00:02:12I need to take five.

00:02:13Uh-oh.

00:02:15I don't really see how we're supposed to get this whole house done.

00:02:17Like, not humanly possible.

00:02:20And the winner of Battle on the Beach is...

00:02:42We are back.

00:02:44New beach.

00:02:46New mentors.

00:02:48New teams.

00:02:50Same old time.

00:02:53I'm excited to work with a mother and daughter team.

00:02:55And hopefully they work really well together.

00:02:57This is my daughter, Sydney.

00:02:59This is my mom, Michelle.

00:03:00And we're from Nebraska.

00:03:01Yep.

00:03:02From the middle of nowhere, Nebraska.

00:03:06Her husband wouldn't come with her.

00:03:08That's why I'm here.

00:03:10My husband came home with the toilet on the front porch when we first got married

00:03:14because we couldn't afford to have somebody do it for us.

00:03:16So we just had to learn how to do it ourselves.

00:03:18But we've probably done, I don't know, between 20 and 30 houses.

00:03:22I am a DIY content creator.

00:03:25My husband and I have renovated six houses.

00:03:27At the beginning, my mom helped us with a few of the first ones.

00:03:30And then we've kind of jumped out of her nest and been able to do it on our own.

00:03:34I will confess, I am a little...

00:03:39Hard-headed?

00:03:40Hard-headed.

00:03:41But she is a younger version of me.

00:03:43True.

00:03:47So you guys know me as Mika from 100 Day Dream Home, or perhaps winner of Rock the Block

00:03:52and Barbie Dream House Challenge.

00:03:53I am going to be the perfect mentor for my team because I know how to listen, but also

00:03:58to keep it real and candid if something is not going to help them win.

00:04:07I'm Anna.

00:04:08Or no, I'm going to say, I'm Anna.

00:04:09No, you're not.

00:04:11That's a pretty good blooper.

00:04:12Go!

00:04:12All right.

00:04:13I'm...

00:04:14My name's Josiah.

00:04:15I'm Anna from Baltimore, Maryland.

00:04:17So we have one kid, Lena, our daughter.

00:04:19She's one and a half years old.

00:04:20We got into renovation when we got married.

00:04:23He moved into a house that had no kitchen.

00:04:25I had just finished the bathroom.

00:04:27And he was honestly not on board with the whole renovation thing, but we looked at the

00:04:32resale value, and he was like, oh, we can make money in this.

00:04:35We've been working with each other in our business for six years.

00:04:38At the beginning of our relationship, Anna had a lot of skills that were beyond what I

00:04:42could do.

00:04:43You were able to teach me a lot of things.

00:04:44We're on the same playing field now.

00:04:46We're going to win!

00:04:52I'm Sarah Baumler, and I'm used to being a judge, but this year, I'm changing sides,

00:04:58and I'm becoming a mentor.

00:04:59I'm very competitive.

00:05:00I want to win, but I also understand this is about my team.

00:05:04So I'm hoping to take all of that information from years of experience here on the beach

00:05:08and hopefully bring my team to a win.

00:05:13I'm Stephen Jacobs.

00:05:14This is my wife, Angelina Jacobs.

00:05:15We're from Waterbury, Connecticut.

00:05:17And I've been doing construction for about seven years now, and my husband joined with

00:05:22me about two years ago.

00:05:25Most of the work that I learned was on my own and self-taught.

00:05:29People told me they used to be pretty to do construction.

00:05:31You used to be beautiful to do construction.

00:05:32No, I like construction, and I'm going to keep doing this until my fingers are all off,

00:05:37and then I'm going to glue them back on.

00:05:42Welcome to Battle on the Beach.

00:05:46We are smack dab in the center of a beautiful 60-mile span of coastal beach called the Grand Strand.

00:05:59We hand-picked you as our three teams because we saw your work and your commitment.

00:06:05In other words, we believe in you.

00:06:08But this isn't going to be a walk on the beach.

00:06:10You'll need to bring your design and renovation A-game every day if you want a chance at winning

00:06:17the $50,000 prize.

00:06:19Let's talk about the competition.

00:06:21This area attracts 20 million visitors annually, so we're focusing on those vacationers this

00:06:27time around.

00:06:28We're working with three vacation homes that are in need of a major glow-up.

00:06:32These are the biggest houses we've ever featured on Battle on the Beach.

00:06:37Two of the houses have near identical layouts, but the third house is a little bit smaller.

00:06:41The average weekly rental rates of these homes fall in the range of $1,900 to $2,800.

00:06:50Similar size houses in this area, they can usually run up to $7,000 during high season.

00:06:57And high season is right around the corner.

00:07:00Each week, you will be assigned an area in the house to renovate.

00:07:03Each team will have $100,000 to put towards their designs and only seven weeks to renovate.

00:07:13How you want to spend your money is completely up to you.

00:07:16And at the end of each week, the team who increases the rental rate of their space the most will

00:07:22win $3,000.

00:07:26At the end of your seven-week build, with the help of local experts, the judges will determine

00:07:32which team increased the overall rental rate.

00:07:35And the winner will walk away with the $50,000 grand prize.

00:07:41What would $50,000 mean to each of you?

00:07:45We're going to finish our house because it is unlivable right now.

00:07:49Good call.

00:07:49That's a good plan.

00:07:50Angelina and Steven, we're going to hopefully buy our first house because we actually never

00:07:55had one.

00:07:55I like that plan.

00:07:57That's good motivation.

00:07:58And Sydney and Michelle, we want to start a business together flipping houses.

00:08:02These are great.

00:08:03Yeah, these are great calls.

00:08:05So are you ready to find out your house assignments?

00:08:08Yes!

00:08:09Woo-hoo!

00:08:09Well, the competition starts before you really even get to the houses.

00:08:16Your first head-to-head challenge is all about getting to know your location and home.

00:08:22You'll be competing in a race to collect three battle flags.

00:08:26Each flag will have a clue leading you to the next location.

00:08:29You will tour each house along your journey.

00:08:31The first team to hit all the destinations and return here will be given the chance to

00:08:38choose their own house and assign the others.

00:08:43Oh, yeah!

00:08:44That is big.

00:08:45That's a big.

00:08:46How much time you spend at each vacation home is entirely up to you.

00:08:50But choose wisely.

00:08:51Take too long and you might lose your pick.

00:08:54Rush through and you could win without knowing which home is best.

00:08:59So here's your first clue.

00:09:03Oh, yeah.

00:09:04Here you go.

00:09:05You guys can open them once you get in your bikes.

00:09:07Okay.

00:09:08You guys ready?

00:09:09Yeah!

00:09:11Three, two, one, go!

00:09:17Come on, guys!

00:09:19Come on!

00:09:19Go!

00:09:20Go!

00:09:22Here you go.

00:09:23Here you go.

00:09:24Open it.

00:09:253-3-A is where the challenge begins.

00:09:28Go!

00:09:28Left!

00:09:29Left!

00:09:30Woo!

00:09:32Safety is number one priority.

00:09:34We can do it.

00:09:35Hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle.

00:09:382-1-2, 2-1-6.

00:09:40It's right here.

00:09:40Put it in the park.

00:09:42Run up.

00:09:43Having the first pick of the house is such an advantage and we need that advantage.

00:09:47Okay.

00:09:48Oh, my gosh.

00:09:49All right.

00:09:50Okay.

00:09:51Five bedrooms, five baths.

00:09:53Look around, too.

00:09:55Do not use.

00:09:56What the heck is going on with that fireplace?

00:09:59Ugh.

00:09:59It stinks like mold.

00:10:02Having five bedrooms and five baths, it has a great footprint.

00:10:05We don't have to really add any more bathrooms to that space.

00:10:09This is nice.

00:10:11There's an upstairs.

00:10:13Oh, my God.

00:10:15Flag.

00:10:16Look under the bed.

00:10:18You look under the bed, I look under the mat.

00:10:19This is nice.

00:10:21The vaulted ceiling, tiny bathroom.

00:10:25These are flags.

00:10:26Grab it.

00:10:28Wait, did you find the next school?

00:10:29Get ready to pedal two doors down.

00:10:31Right there.

00:10:32Chin!

00:10:34Big.

00:10:35Uh-huh.

00:10:37Whoa.

00:10:38It's weird that you walk into the...

00:10:40Right to the kitchen.

00:10:41Especially at the beach, you want to walk into kind of a mud room instead of, like, walking

00:10:45into a kitchen, getting sand in your food.

00:10:47That's not a fun experience.

00:10:49Five, five.

00:10:50Having five bathrooms, I think, is a big plus.

00:10:52You probably wouldn't even need to add one because there's enough in the house.

00:10:55Which would save us so much money.

00:10:57It's big and open, which is nice.

00:10:58I love all the windows.

00:11:00But really good view.

00:11:01Let me have your own little pier.

00:11:02It's nice there's a bedroom on the first floor.

00:11:04Carpet.

00:11:05What's under the carpet?

00:11:06The three bedroom and baths upstairs have plenty of space.

00:11:10Okay.

00:11:10Let's go.

00:11:11All right, we're not spending that much time here.

00:11:13Oh, there's a flag.

00:11:14Oh!

00:11:18Nice.

00:11:20Three.

00:11:20Congratulations, it worked out.

00:11:23Did we find a ranch?

00:11:24Are your legs burning?

00:11:26Yes.

00:11:26We're here.

00:11:27Honey, we're home.

00:11:28Uh-oh.

00:11:29I like this.

00:11:30That's a fireplace.

00:11:31I like the windows.

00:11:32Five beds, three baths.

00:11:34Five beds?

00:11:35There's a lot of beds, but the kitchen's tiny.

00:11:41Ugly bathrooms.

00:11:42House three is small, but it does have some nice features.

00:11:45I had a lot of windows already there that were already facing the beach and a fireplace.

00:11:50Look up there.

00:11:51Oh.

00:11:53Okay, flag.

00:11:55Looking in bed.

00:11:57Pictures on the deck.

00:11:59Got the flag.

00:12:04Uh-oh, they're coming in.

00:12:06Go, go, go.

00:12:07Hey!

00:12:08Hey!

00:12:09How's it going?

00:12:09Hey!

00:12:10What the fuck?

00:12:12Five bedrooms, three bathrooms.

00:12:152143 is the square footage.

00:12:16We were on a time limit, and we had to hurry up.

00:12:18We tried to be strategic.

00:12:20Come on.

00:12:20I got one more.

00:12:22Oh.

00:12:23No.

00:12:27Weird that you come into the kitchen again.

00:12:28Five, five again, too.

00:12:30So the next house over is basically identical to the first house.

00:12:33So we're not really paying attention.

00:12:35We just run through it and try to get first place in the challenge.

00:12:38I don't do stairs.

00:12:40I don't either.

00:12:40Oh, gosh.

00:12:42We do not want this one.

00:12:43No character.

00:12:44There's zero character.

00:12:45Everything's ugly.

00:12:46Sorry, homeowners.

00:12:48I don't like this one.

00:12:50I don't either.

00:12:53No!

00:12:53What's this up?

00:12:54What?

00:12:55What is that?

00:12:55What are they coming here?

00:12:56Don't hit our competition.

00:12:58Her car!

00:12:59They're trying to sabotage us.

00:13:00Mom!

00:13:01Come on!

00:13:02Come on!

00:13:02When she's tired, directions go out the window.

00:13:06Oh, my gosh.

00:13:07Come on.

00:13:09Oh, I like this one.

00:13:11I got the flag.

00:13:14Where's the elevators in these suckers?

00:13:17We're here, honey.

00:13:18It's identical.

00:13:19Can we already look at this one?

00:13:23Okay.

00:13:24So we walk into house three.

00:13:26This is the worst house.

00:13:27We don't want this one.

00:13:28There's not a lot of space you could, like, take away and out of the bathroom.

00:13:31Last one, last one.

00:13:33There's maybe one person in front of us.

00:13:35We just got to pass him.

00:13:36Okay, we're good.

00:13:37That way!

00:13:39Don't worry.

00:13:39Thanks.

00:13:40Your steering really threw us.

00:13:42Sorry.

00:13:43My bad.

00:13:43We're spinning.

00:13:46Get on the road.

00:13:47Get on the road.

00:13:47A little mishap.

00:13:49It's going to show.

00:13:50Come on.

00:13:51Hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle.

00:13:52My legs are going.

00:13:54Bring it right here, right?

00:13:55Stop.

00:13:55Go, go.

00:13:56No!

00:13:58We turn into the little parking lot, and we see another bike.

00:14:04We're here.

00:14:05Are we the last?

00:14:06It feels like we're at the Olympics right now.

00:14:08Let's go!

00:14:10That is amazing.

00:14:13Come on, here.

00:14:14Let's go.

00:14:15Let's go.

00:14:16Wow.

00:14:16Woo!

00:14:18Here they come.

00:14:40This competition was a big deal, because this is like, we're choosing our house for the rest of the competition.

00:14:45It was pretty devastating because we didn't want to give that power to another team.

00:14:49Oh, here comes the next team!

00:14:51It's not pretty!

00:14:52But we made it!

00:14:55It should have worked out!

00:14:57I did made it!

00:14:58Athleticism is not our strength.

00:15:00Can't win them all, so we're going to win every other one.

00:15:03The houses suck.

00:15:05They do.

00:15:05Sorry.

00:15:06Yeah.

00:15:07What you thinking?

00:15:08Well, don't you want to know over there.

00:15:12The house we want overall, we were probably tied with the first two.

00:15:16They were quite similar.

00:15:17Basically identical.

00:15:18The rooms were pretty big and the bathrooms were decently big,

00:15:22so overall we just really liked either one of those houses.

00:15:25We really didn't want the third house.

00:15:27House number three is small and there's only three bathrooms,

00:15:30but it does have the lowest rental rate, meaning we can raise it the most.

00:15:34I hope they don't give us the bad house.

00:15:36They are all in need of a lot.

00:15:38Is there any property that has the ability where you can have two primary bedrooms

00:15:42that will both have a private on-suite?

00:15:44Because then you can rent it to two families.

00:15:46That was number two, right?

00:15:47That was five bedrooms, five bedrooms.

00:15:49There's two five bedrooms, five bedrooms.

00:15:51There's one, five, and three.

00:15:52That's the last one.

00:15:53Yep.

00:15:53The last one is smaller.

00:15:54Going into house two, I was just like, yeah, there was two check marks on there.

00:15:58It had the space, it had the nice footprints,

00:16:00and it had the view that you cannot put into a house.

00:16:04As far as the first house, I did like the way that the layout was

00:16:07because house one and two are very similar,

00:16:09but house one had a fireplace that said do not use,

00:16:12and we already have a tight budget,

00:16:14so I'm not trying to have to fix or replace that.

00:16:18The last house was nice, though.

00:16:20The only downfall is you're dealing with a small, confined space,

00:16:23and I feel like they're going to definitely have to add some bathrooms

00:16:26in order to add value.

00:16:27And with the time, I'm not sure if they're going to be able to do that.

00:16:30It's time for Team Sarah to make their decision.

00:16:34So which house will it be?

00:16:37For our house?

00:16:42We're going to go with house number two.

00:16:44Number two?

00:16:45Yes.

00:16:46Honestly, the footprint of it is already there.

00:16:49The view is already there.

00:16:50And with five bedrooms and five baths,

00:16:52we can possibly give our house, like, two separate primary suites.

00:16:58So dare I ask, what do you choose for Team Mika?

00:17:10So we're going to go with house number three.

00:17:14Okay.

00:17:16We do feel bummed that we got house number three

00:17:19because it might be the worst one.

00:17:22But because house three had the lowest weekly rental value,

00:17:25we think that it might,

00:17:26we might be able to raise it the most.

00:17:28So I guess Team Ty is getting house number one.

00:17:32One, yes.

00:17:34Because we're number one.

00:17:35So we know house number one is not that great.

00:17:38They say you can't fix ugly,

00:17:40but you can fix ugly houses.

00:17:43Now, with your beach homes decided,

00:17:45we get into the first battle.

00:17:47We are kicking off the competition

00:17:49with a gathering place for vacationers to come together.

00:17:53Yes.

00:17:54And the room with the best views in the house,

00:17:56the living room.

00:17:58This will include the entryway and the stairs.

00:18:01Oh, shoot.

00:18:02High traffic areas mean even higher stakes,

00:18:05and we're starting off swinging.

00:18:07I hope you're ready,

00:18:09because battle on the beach begins now.

00:18:14All right, guys, let's do it.

00:18:17Let's just get it out of here.

00:18:19This is awesome.

00:18:23Oh, no!

00:18:25It is broken.

00:18:27Yikes.

00:18:28Concerns are mounting.

00:18:29I understand this is your vision.

00:18:30I just don't want it to be the downfall

00:18:32of this entire week,

00:18:34because the big things didn't get finished.

00:18:36I understand.

00:18:37I have an idea,

00:18:38like a drop area for all your beach stuff,

00:18:41and what would you put there

00:18:42that might add to the value?

00:18:44I don't know.

00:18:44I need to take five.

00:18:46Uh-oh.

00:18:47It's me?

00:18:47No, it's me.

00:18:53Here we go.

00:18:54House number three.

00:18:56House three is 2,143 square feet.

00:18:59It has two bedrooms,

00:19:01one bath downstairs,

00:19:02and three bedrooms,

00:19:03two baths upstairs.

00:19:05I think our biggest fear

00:19:07with house number three

00:19:08is that it's small,

00:19:09and there's only three bathrooms,

00:19:11so we're going to have

00:19:11to add a bathroom for sure.

00:19:14Wow.

00:19:15Wallpaper.

00:19:16I don't remember that.

00:19:17The table is right next to the door.

00:19:19A little tight.

00:19:20I don't love that.

00:19:20Where you don't want to

00:19:21pull the dishwasher in the fridge.

00:19:23That could be a problem.

00:19:25I mean, this whole kitchen needs to go,

00:19:27let's be honest.

00:19:29The first bedrooms.

00:19:30Small-ish,

00:19:31but there is a closet.

00:19:33And so the first floor bathroom.

00:19:35Tidy, for sure,

00:19:37but decent layout.

00:19:39All right, let's go upstairs.

00:19:40Tall ceilings.

00:19:42So right when you come up the stairs,

00:19:43you have this,

00:19:44I could see this out from the road.

00:19:46It's not real.

00:19:47Sticker.

00:19:47Sad.

00:19:48But again, the layout is not bad.

00:19:50We can work with this.

00:19:52This is the primary, I would say.

00:19:54Yeah.

00:19:54Bathroom.

00:19:55Windows look a little water damaged.

00:19:57Yeah, we definitely got some water damage.

00:19:59This bathroom is huge.

00:20:02Double vanity.

00:20:03And all of this wallpaper.

00:20:06Yikes.

00:20:07What are the odds

00:20:07it actually works?

00:20:08It probably does

00:20:09with mold coming out of it.

00:20:12All right,

00:20:13we're done to see this house.

00:20:14Our house is 2,300 square feet.

00:20:17On the first floor,

00:20:18there's one bedroom,

00:20:19one bath,

00:20:20and on the second floor,

00:20:21there's four bedrooms

00:20:22and four bathrooms.

00:20:23Oh, my God.

00:20:25It's hard to open the door now.

00:20:26Pull it all.

00:20:26This is definitely getting replaced.

00:20:28Oh, my goodness.

00:20:30Look at that popcorn.

00:20:32That's got to go.

00:20:33These windows are so gorgeous.

00:20:36That is.

00:20:36Oh, my God.

00:20:37This kitchen.

00:20:38Why are there two refrigerators in here?

00:20:40Oh, my goodness.

00:20:42Oh, this light

00:20:43gots to go.

00:20:43This is crazy old.

00:20:46It is.

00:20:47Woo!

00:20:47Definitely got to update this.

00:20:49Oh, my goodness.

00:20:51This carpet

00:20:51gots to go.

00:20:54Look at this view.

00:20:55Look at this view.

00:20:56Oh!

00:20:57I am open to getting rid of that window.

00:21:01No.

00:21:02We're not going for this.

00:21:04We are going for that.

00:21:07Understood.

00:21:09I am the boss.

00:21:10She is the boss.

00:21:11He listens to me,

00:21:12and I appreciate that.

00:21:14He lets me have my space to control.

00:21:17Give it a little love.

00:21:18Yeah.

00:21:20Here we go.

00:21:21All right, here we go.

00:21:23House one is 2,411 square feet.

00:21:27There's one bedroom

00:21:28and one bath on the first floor,

00:21:29and four bedrooms

00:21:30and four baths on the second floor.

00:21:32Popcorn.

00:21:33Popcorn.

00:21:34Popcorn.

00:21:34Everywhere popcorn.

00:21:36We have a fireplace.

00:21:38Do not use.

00:21:39Looks like we get

00:21:40two dining rooms.

00:21:42Double the seating.

00:21:44All your friends can come.

00:21:46Good-sized kitchen,

00:21:47but ugly kitchen.

00:21:48And apparently our entryway.

00:21:50This whole thing right here

00:21:51is just very congested.

00:21:52Straight into the kitchen.

00:21:53No place to drop your stuff.

00:21:54Now, where are we going?

00:21:56Bathroom.

00:21:56What in the?

00:21:57It's a long, narrow, ugly bathroom.

00:22:01Shotgun.

00:22:03Is this salmon?

00:22:04Is this salmon?

00:22:05Huge room.

00:22:07Carpet's got to go.

00:22:08Color's got to go.

00:22:09You want to head upstairs?

00:22:10Very dark.

00:22:11Oh, very dark.

00:22:13Primary bedroom.

00:22:15Balcony.

00:22:16Something might be broken.

00:22:17Oh, yeah.

00:22:18It's kind of open.

00:22:20Bathroom looks small.

00:22:22I can't make that much bigger.

00:22:25Ugly as heck right now.

00:22:27Well, it's big.

00:22:29It's big.

00:22:30Big means more work.

00:22:31We got a lot of work to do.

00:22:34We've got this.

00:22:35We've got this.

00:22:36We've got this.

00:22:38So what do you think

00:22:39of the living room?

00:22:40I like that the fireplace

00:22:41is centered.

00:22:42The fireplace is a little beat up.

00:22:45Hello.

00:22:47Okay, the living room,

00:22:48the first challenge.

00:22:50First challenge.

00:22:50I know.

00:22:51It's not huge.

00:22:52Yeah.

00:22:53We were thinking really tall

00:22:54built-ins on both sides,

00:22:55like lots of cozy books

00:22:56and like a big coffee table here.

00:22:58It's got to function

00:22:59as coffee table store,

00:23:01like anything that we put in here

00:23:02because it's kind of small.

00:23:03Yeah.

00:23:04So I think the pieces

00:23:05almost have to be multifunctional

00:23:07where they can either

00:23:08pull out and be a bed.

00:23:09That's the other thing.

00:23:10How do you raise the rental rate?

00:23:11You increase heads and beds.

00:23:13Maybe we could put Murphy beds

00:23:15on either side of the fireplace.

00:23:17Yeah, I like that.

00:23:17We have to think about

00:23:18what's going to be photo-worthy

00:23:20when people are online

00:23:22looking for their vacation rental.

00:23:23Like what's going to make them stop

00:23:25and go, this is different?

00:23:27We like Mika's idea

00:23:28of adding twin Murphy beds

00:23:29on either side of the fireplace.

00:23:31It could be a great way

00:23:32of increasing rental value

00:23:33by sleeping a few more guests.

00:23:35For the design,

00:23:36we're leading towards

00:23:36a boutique tropical retreat.

00:23:38So we're thinking

00:23:39maybe a beachy wallpaper

00:23:40or accent wall.

00:23:41Elevating the fireplace

00:23:42with a new marble

00:23:43or rustic wood mantle.

00:23:45Other wood accents

00:23:46like a coffee table

00:23:47and a statement light fixture

00:23:48should help tie everything together.

00:23:49One challenge

00:23:50is the lack of beach access.

00:23:52So we're thinking

00:23:53of replacing a window

00:23:54with a sliding door

00:23:55to improve indoor-outdoor flow.

00:23:56We know the slider

00:23:57could take up

00:23:58a good portion of the budget

00:23:59but we're thinking

00:24:00there's a way to make it all work

00:24:01somewhere in the range

00:24:02of $14,000.

00:24:03We know if we execute

00:24:05what we have in our brains

00:24:06and we just work really hard,

00:24:08we know we're going to

00:24:09put out a good product

00:24:10and hopefully win.

00:24:11Do you like

00:24:12very sophisticated,

00:24:14very relaxed beach style?

00:24:16I'm thinking lighter colors.

00:24:18I want it to be calming.

00:24:19Everyone can put a head in a bed

00:24:21but how do we create

00:24:22an experience that's worthy

00:24:23of that much more

00:24:24of a rental rate per night?

00:24:26Who's your client?

00:24:27Who are you trying to rent to?

00:24:28Possibly two families

00:24:30that can share this space.

00:24:31Okay, so we're going to commit

00:24:32right now

00:24:33that we are doing

00:24:34a family-friendly rental.

00:24:35Yes.

00:24:35Okay?

00:24:36All right, so how are we

00:24:37going to make money?

00:24:38As far as adding value,

00:24:39this space is just empty

00:24:40so I don't know

00:24:41if it's part of the dining room

00:24:42or if it's part of the living room.

00:24:44If you potentially added

00:24:45another bedroom...

00:24:46I love...

00:24:49I love it.

00:24:51This would be a really dope

00:24:52primary being on the main level

00:24:53and going right out

00:24:54to the main beach.

00:24:56Yes, yes, yes.

00:24:58We want to take

00:24:58a big picture approach

00:25:00maximizing rental potential

00:25:01while appealing to families

00:25:03by adding a second primary bedroom

00:25:05on the main floor.

00:25:06We'll have to frame a new wall

00:25:07to create a bedroom

00:25:09while keeping enough space

00:25:10for a living area.

00:25:11For design,

00:25:12we're thinking something

00:25:13like a transitional

00:25:14oceanfront resort.

00:25:16Clean lines

00:25:16and neutral colors.

00:25:18We're hoping to add

00:25:19a light fixture

00:25:20and a few other features

00:25:22that will enhance

00:25:22a longer stay.

00:25:23With a budget

00:25:24of around $19,000,

00:25:26this transformation

00:25:27will maximize functionality

00:25:28and create a memorable

00:25:30high-demand rental.

00:25:31Adding value,

00:25:32adding bedrooms,

00:25:33that's what we need to do

00:25:34to win this competition.

00:25:35You have to stick

00:25:36to that budget.

00:25:36Okay?

00:25:37Okay.

00:25:37I like who we're going.

00:25:38I'm saying that to myself too

00:25:39because I'm really bad

00:25:40with budgets.

00:25:42What are you thinking?

00:25:44We're debating on

00:25:45if we need to get rid

00:25:45of this window.

00:25:46so that we can do built-ins

00:25:48even a little more symmetric.

00:25:49I mean,

00:25:50you're not necessarily

00:25:50getting huge ocean views

00:25:51this direction.

00:25:52I understand what you're saying,

00:25:53but maybe this

00:25:54becomes your build-out.

00:25:56I think combination

00:25:57towards there,

00:25:57I think also could work.

00:25:59Not what I was thinking,

00:26:00but we'll come back.

00:26:01But you don't have to,

00:26:03but I totally want

00:26:04to be looking this way.

00:26:06Yes, this way.

00:26:06Yes.

00:26:07Oh, true.

00:26:08Do we build build-outs

00:26:09and the couch goes

00:26:11in between it?

00:26:12That way you keep

00:26:13your view and your sofa

00:26:14still looking that direction.

00:26:15It's the only wall

00:26:16you have in the living room.

00:26:17What else could happen there

00:26:19that could add some life?

00:26:20Well, I want wood somewhere.

00:26:22I want it to feel

00:26:23warm and welcoming.

00:26:24Okay.

00:26:25I'm open to other options.

00:26:26I'm not opposed to that.

00:26:27Mm-hmm.

00:26:29I have an idea.

00:26:31So where are the kitchens at?

00:26:32What if we had, like,

00:26:33a drop area

00:26:34for all your beach stuff

00:26:35and made this more

00:26:36of an entryway?

00:26:40See, we are so different

00:26:42on our thoughts.

00:26:44I mean, what would you put there

00:26:45that might add

00:26:46to the value of the house?

00:26:47If we're...

00:26:47Are we both on the same...

00:26:49Are we not?

00:26:49I don't know.

00:26:50I know we were.

00:26:51We were talking about that.

00:26:52Tyce and my style

00:26:54isn't necessarily the same.

00:26:55I feel like him and my mom

00:26:56will get along more

00:26:57on their design styles.

00:26:59Can you explain, like,

00:27:00what the entry vision you have?

00:27:02Just what do you see when you...

00:27:04I just know

00:27:04when you're at the beach,

00:27:05you got a lot of beach gear,

00:27:06you got a lot of...

00:27:07Things you want to drop.

00:27:09I will agree.

00:27:09That...

00:27:10I will agree with you.

00:27:11That entry over there

00:27:13is what you're saying.

00:27:13So make it like a bench

00:27:14where you can sit down...

00:27:15I feel like I need to take five.

00:27:16Sorry.

00:27:17Uh-oh.

00:27:20Is it me?

00:27:20No, it's me.

00:27:25I just feel like

00:27:27they're connecting

00:27:27on all their ideas.

00:27:29Like, why am I here?

00:27:30Like, I just want to feel

00:27:31like I'm part of the team

00:27:33and, like, everything I say.

00:27:34I just feel like they...

00:27:35Like, my mom and my style

00:27:37is just so different

00:27:38and I don't want to feel

00:27:39like I'm not being seen.

00:27:44Before this,

00:27:44we talked about stuff

00:27:46and I felt like

00:27:48she heard me.

00:27:49Like, I felt like

00:27:50we were going to, like,

00:27:53take some of my ideas

00:27:54and I honestly felt like

00:27:55she loved my ideas

00:27:56and then, like,

00:27:57we get here

00:27:58and it feels like

00:27:59that's, like,

00:27:59kind of thrown out

00:28:00the window a little bit.

00:28:02Sometimes I just feel like

00:28:03she doesn't see me

00:28:05or hear me.

00:28:09I wanted to hear your thoughts.

00:28:11Yeah, I just...

00:28:12In general,

00:28:13I feel like I'm just

00:28:14maybe a little bit different

00:28:16in, like,

00:28:17what I envision

00:28:18the house for

00:28:19or, like,

00:28:20my style

00:28:20and stuff like that

00:28:21and I just felt like

00:28:22it was, like,

00:28:23the fireplace,

00:28:23it was the built-ins,

00:28:24it was the wall,

00:28:25the wood.

00:28:27I just wasn't necessarily

00:28:28in agreement

00:28:29on all of them

00:28:30and I just felt like

00:28:31I didn't want to say

00:28:31my opinion

00:28:32because it was different

00:28:33and I felt like...

00:28:33Here's what you need

00:28:34to understand.

00:28:34We're almost retired

00:28:36which means

00:28:36we have no future.

00:28:39We need your input

00:28:40more than anything.

00:28:42I just don't know

00:28:43if I want wood

00:28:44on that wall.

00:28:47Then you don't have

00:28:48to have wood

00:28:49on that wall.

00:28:50I just don't want

00:28:51to say stuff

00:28:52because then I feel,

00:28:53like, embarrassed

00:28:54when...

00:28:54Well, my mom

00:28:55sometimes tells me

00:28:57I don't know about that

00:28:58and then, like,

00:28:59I shouldn't have said anything

00:29:00now I'm embarrassed.

00:29:03I think that's

00:29:04part of the design process.

00:29:05It's such a struggle.

00:29:07There's going to be

00:29:07some pressure.

00:29:08This is not the only time

00:29:09you're going to have

00:29:09a breakdown.

00:29:10Trust me.

00:29:12Clearly.

00:29:13Day one.

00:29:15Didn't think it would

00:29:15happen this early,

00:29:16but...

00:29:16Room one!

00:29:18I do feel like

00:29:19he heard me

00:29:20and he saw me

00:29:20and he was like,

00:29:22you have it too.

00:29:24You know,

00:29:24a lot of people

00:29:25don't realize

00:29:25the emotion

00:29:26that design brings on.

00:29:28We have very similar

00:29:29qualities of just kind of,

00:29:30like, poking at each other

00:29:31and then all of a sudden

00:29:32it will be, like,

00:29:33a break.

00:29:35So I'm a little scared

00:29:36for that.

00:29:36I'm going to say

00:29:37my one tidbit.

00:29:38Yeah, what would you like?

00:29:39At two cents.

00:29:40My mind goes to

00:29:42the fireplace

00:29:43being the center

00:29:45of attention.

00:29:46Okay.

00:29:46And not necessarily

00:29:47having to do

00:29:48something

00:29:51huge over here.

00:29:52Something to fill up

00:29:53the space

00:29:54without necessarily

00:29:55having to spend

00:29:56more money.

00:29:57That's a good idea.

00:29:58We're bringing

00:29:59our ideas together

00:30:00and putting the focus

00:30:01where it belongs,

00:30:02on the fireplace.

00:30:03By reimagining it

00:30:05with added texture,

00:30:06we can turn it

00:30:06into a true focal point

00:30:08that leans into

00:30:09a coastal cottage theme.

00:30:10Then, we'll build

00:30:11around it

00:30:12with functional updates

00:30:13that add style

00:30:14and help the space

00:30:15work a whole lot better.

00:30:16Overall,

00:30:17we're looking to

00:30:18elevate the space

00:30:19with warm, organic textures

00:30:20paired with wood beams

00:30:22that tie back

00:30:22to the mantle.

00:30:23To finish it off,

00:30:24we're thinking lighter

00:30:25furniture for better flow,

00:30:27along with a gallery wall

00:30:28to tie together

00:30:29that coastal cottage vibe.

00:30:30In the entryway,

00:30:31we're planning a big change

00:30:33by removing the second fridge

00:30:34and cramped pantry

00:30:35and converting that area

00:30:37into a drop zone,

00:30:38giving guests a space

00:30:39to kick off sandals

00:30:40and hang towels

00:30:41when returning

00:30:42from the beach.

00:30:43With these updates,

00:30:44we feel like we can transform

00:30:45this once cluttered

00:30:46living area,

00:30:47all while staying somewhere

00:30:48around a budget

00:30:49of $11,000.

00:30:51All right.

00:30:52Do we feel good

00:30:52about a plan here?

00:30:53Yes.

00:30:54Okay.

00:30:54Yes.

00:30:54All right.

00:30:55I knew the mother-daughter relationship

00:30:57wasn't going to be easy,

00:30:58but I didn't expect her

00:30:59to be an emotional breakdown

00:31:00day one.

00:31:02All right.

00:31:02Bye, guys.

00:31:03Goodbye.

00:31:04This is going to be interesting.

00:31:09Oh, man.

00:31:11It's feeling big in here now.

00:31:12Welcome.

00:31:14Okay.

00:31:14So, step one.

00:31:16We want to redo the mat

00:31:17so we can get rid

00:31:18of all that, right?

00:31:18Dope.

00:31:19We might save the stone

00:31:20to use it somewhere else

00:31:21because it's not bad.

00:31:22I don't know.

00:31:22A DIY project.

00:31:23I love a DIY

00:31:24because guess what?

00:31:25DIY usually means

00:31:26we're saving money.

00:31:28Normally,

00:31:29Josiah is the main demoer

00:31:31and I'm the baby watcher,

00:31:32but today I got in there.

00:31:33I got it done.

00:31:35Oh, look at that.

00:31:36I felt like it wiggled out.

00:31:37It was like a loose tooth.

00:31:39This is in great shape.

00:31:40Yeah.

00:31:40So, yeah,

00:31:41maybe a floating shelf

00:31:42in the bathroom.

00:31:43Almost.

00:31:44Oh!

00:31:45Not as gentle

00:31:46as the first one.

00:31:47Okay, we can still use it.

00:31:49Okay.

00:31:49Oh, my gosh.

00:31:50And you saved it

00:31:51into one piece.

00:31:52We're going to need headboards.

00:31:53We're going to need

00:31:53all kinds of stuff.

00:31:55Gosh, the fireplace

00:31:56already looks better.

00:31:57Yeah, that's exciting.

00:31:58But the bad news is

00:31:59it is broken.

00:32:00We just found that out.

00:32:01So, we need to maybe

00:32:03do an electric insert

00:32:05or...

00:32:05Yikes.

00:32:09Let's just get it out of here.

00:32:11Get a good pull.

00:32:11This is awesome.

00:32:13Look at that.

00:32:14Ugh.

00:32:14Ready?

00:32:15One, two, three.

00:32:20Go up.

00:32:20We don't have much

00:32:22demo to do,

00:32:23so we're going to get

00:32:23started right away

00:32:24on framing and drywalling

00:32:26our new primary bedroom.

00:32:35You guys are already

00:32:36getting started.

00:32:38I'm late to the party.

00:32:39Demo-ing is our thing.

00:32:41Yeah, she's a beast

00:32:42and I kind of just

00:32:43let her go at it.

00:32:44She just...

00:32:45Living our best life.

00:32:47You're a beast.

00:32:56There we go.

00:32:57Clean work environment

00:32:58is an efficient work

00:32:59environment.

00:33:00You're not my cleaning.

00:33:01No, I actually enjoy

00:33:02the cleaning.

00:33:03I let you have that

00:33:04and I'm like,

00:33:05I'll just clean up

00:33:06after you.

00:33:06I don't mind.

00:33:07You're going faster

00:33:08than I can even

00:33:09throw it away.

00:33:10Here's one more.

00:33:11Stick to what you're good at.

00:33:12I'll stick to what

00:33:13I'm good at.

00:33:15Sydney, Michelle,

00:33:16come here really quick.

00:33:18Elephant in the room.

00:33:20There is a leak

00:33:21which we cannot have

00:33:23if we're going to do

00:33:24an electric fireplace.

00:33:26So, brace yourself

00:33:27for probably a $500

00:33:30or more quote

00:33:32to get the leak fixed.

00:33:35We've already committed

00:33:37to making the fireplace

00:33:37the focal point of this room

00:33:39and there's no time to pivot.

00:33:40So, unfortunately,

00:33:41our best option

00:33:42is just to pay for the fix.

00:33:44Little extra out of budget

00:33:45that we were not factoring.

00:33:46They're just going to be

00:33:47putting, like, a cap

00:33:48and sealing it

00:33:49so that nothing more happens.

00:33:52This really sucks,

00:33:53but we can make it beautiful now.

00:33:56We can start the beauty.

00:33:57Okay.

00:33:58We just got to figure it out quick.

00:33:59Okay.

00:34:00Yeah, I know.

00:34:01Yeah.

00:34:06You're so excited

00:34:07to get this build ready.

00:34:08Yeah, come on now.

00:34:09Hover up now.

00:34:11Don't hit me with the wood.

00:34:12Don't rush.

00:34:13Be careful.

00:34:14We're planning an elaborate

00:34:16DIY design for our staircase

00:34:18and hallway

00:34:18using interconnected wood trim.

00:34:20Today, we need to cut

00:34:22all of our wood

00:34:22into specific pieces

00:34:24so it fits together

00:34:25like a puzzle.

00:34:29Push again.

00:34:33Don't lift it up.

00:34:34I'm not.

00:34:35I'm pushing it.

00:34:37So, listen, real quick,

00:34:39because we're going to make it wobbly.

00:34:40Keep pushing it against

00:34:42this right here.

00:34:43Don't lift it

00:34:44because you're going to make

00:34:45the blade jump.

00:34:48I'm feeling a lot of pressure

00:34:49because realistically,

00:34:51I'm a great, great craftsman,

00:34:53but I can't fully give

00:34:55my full potential

00:34:56only because of some

00:34:57of the constraints.

00:34:58There's no time for that.

00:35:00You're lifting it.

00:35:01I'm pushing it.

00:35:03I'm pushing it.

00:35:04Listen, just keep

00:35:06pushing it against this.

00:35:08This one is wobbly

00:35:09because you are in control.

00:35:11How about you push

00:35:12and I hold this part

00:35:13so you can see

00:35:14how easy it is.

00:35:15Yep.

00:35:18She's a good teacher.

00:35:19Just when it comes to me,

00:35:21no.

00:35:28Come on, bro.

00:35:31Oh, my God, bro.

00:35:35I put a lot of pressure

00:35:36on other people

00:35:37because I kind of want

00:35:38people to read my minds,

00:35:40but nobody can read minds.

00:35:41I'm learning I do not

00:35:42do good under pressure.

00:35:43So can we just communicate

00:35:45for a second?

00:35:46Do you see when I was pushing it

00:35:48because it has the bend,

00:35:49you got to put a little

00:35:49light pressure on it.

00:35:50I just do it.

00:35:51I just, I don't know

00:35:52how to teach you, I guess.

00:35:53It don't matter.

00:35:54I'm just tired

00:35:54of how you communicate.

00:35:56He don't want to be embarrassed

00:35:57because he don't,

00:35:58because I know how to do that

00:35:58and he don't.

00:36:00Leave me alone.

00:36:03Bro, 15 seconds.

00:36:05I'm asking you

00:36:06to leave me alone, yo.

00:36:07You're not.

00:36:08Leave me alone.

00:36:13I'm going to take my mind

00:36:14off of all this

00:36:15so I can create.

00:36:17This is what is necessary

00:36:20so we can win this.

00:36:21Having the blue

00:36:23is helpful for me

00:36:25to see the design

00:36:27I'm trying to achieve.

00:36:30Honestly, did not expect

00:36:33me and my husband

00:36:34to have that

00:36:34little bull out

00:36:36of a fight.

00:36:37I really hope

00:36:38I didn't disrespect him

00:36:39to say anything

00:36:40that was hurtful.

00:36:42There's a lot of pressure

00:36:43having to do so much

00:36:44in so little time

00:36:45but it's just, you know,

00:36:48it's frustrating.

00:36:50I will apologize

00:36:51and move on

00:36:52because we have

00:36:53a common goal

00:36:54which is to win

00:36:55this competition

00:36:56and that is what's

00:36:57going to happen.

00:36:59Today our fireplace

00:37:00is being capped

00:37:01and my mom and I

00:37:02are inside

00:37:03nailing up

00:37:04some shiplap panels

00:37:05on the wall

00:37:06and also the ceiling.

00:37:08I've got it!

00:37:10The paneling

00:37:10that we're using

00:37:11is supposed to look

00:37:12like shiplap.

00:37:14Shiplap.

00:37:14Original shiplap.

00:37:16You could not afford

00:37:17original shiplap

00:37:18so this is the next

00:37:19best thing.

00:37:20Ah!

00:37:21It's coming down!

00:37:21I was afraid

00:37:22that those brads

00:37:23aren't going to hold

00:37:23this shiplap.

00:37:24The ceiling

00:37:25is a little bit trickier.

00:37:26Brad nails

00:37:27are just not enough

00:37:28for it to hang on to

00:37:30and we can't do screws

00:37:31because screws

00:37:32aren't going to look good.

00:37:34We can return

00:37:35the panels

00:37:36that we have.

00:37:37I think

00:37:38it's going to work.

00:37:39I'm just worried

00:37:40about it hanging

00:37:40and warbling.

00:37:42If you are so sure

00:37:43this is going to work

00:37:44why don't you two

00:37:45put it up

00:37:45and I am just going

00:37:46to sit over here

00:37:47in the chair

00:37:47and watch.

00:37:51Right there

00:37:51yep

00:37:51you're good.

00:37:54Nope

00:37:54too far

00:37:55right there

00:37:58didn't fall

00:37:59yet.

00:38:01They needed

00:38:01to prove

00:38:02that they were

00:38:02right

00:38:03and I was wrong.

00:38:04And we are.

00:38:13So the plan

00:38:14for the living room

00:38:15has changed

00:38:15a few times.

00:38:16And we talked

00:38:17about potentially

00:38:18doing a Murphy bed

00:38:19and that's what

00:38:19Mika was suggesting.

00:38:21We scratched that.

00:38:23With the window

00:38:23right here

00:38:24it's a little tight

00:38:25so we thought

00:38:25we're just going

00:38:26to pivot

00:38:26to floating shelves

00:38:27and that would

00:38:28be a good alternative.

00:38:29This is a good plan

00:38:30we'll have to tell

00:38:30Mika.

00:38:31Hopefully she's

00:38:31not too mad.

00:38:32She was really

00:38:33set on that.

00:38:33I know

00:38:34I think she'll

00:38:34understand

00:38:35with just

00:38:35you know

00:38:36window

00:38:36doesn't really

00:38:37function too well.

00:38:39She didn't actually

00:38:40measure for this space

00:38:41so she's just

00:38:42like looking at

00:38:43it first hand.

00:38:44I do think

00:38:45when she walks in

00:38:45she's going to have

00:38:46like a

00:38:47what happened

00:38:48to my Murphy bed

00:38:49I feel a little sad.

00:38:51Hopefully she doesn't

00:38:51take it personally.

00:38:53No turning back now.

00:38:54We're doing it.

00:39:00Time is ticking

00:39:01so we really need

00:39:02to finish putting up

00:39:03the wood slates

00:39:04on our custom staircase design.

00:39:08I would say

00:39:09that the time

00:39:09is getting

00:39:10to her more.

00:39:12I can see

00:39:12the frustration

00:39:13building

00:39:13because she knows

00:39:14time is against us.

00:39:16The first week

00:39:16and we're already

00:39:17fighting

00:39:17there's so much

00:39:18more competition

00:39:19that is still

00:39:19left to come.

00:39:21Honestly

00:39:21as long as

00:39:22we know

00:39:23the final goal

00:39:24and that we

00:39:25stay focused

00:39:26for that

00:39:27I think we'll be good.

00:39:28I really do.

00:39:29I think we're

00:39:30going to still bump heads

00:39:31though.

00:39:31But I think

00:39:32we'll come together.

00:39:33We got the bad apples

00:39:34out of the way.

00:39:36We got a notification

00:39:38our flooring

00:39:38was delivered.

00:39:40Flooring was outside

00:39:41I immediately

00:39:42ran downstairs.

00:39:43We was just trying

00:39:44to get a little

00:39:44peek inside.

00:39:45Hey!

00:39:46What are you doing?

00:39:49Is this y'all?

00:39:51It's at our house.

00:39:52Ours was supposed

00:39:52to come in

00:39:53today too.

00:39:54This is ours.

00:39:55Somebody's already

00:39:56trying to peep.

00:39:58Well let me see.

00:39:58Hold on.

00:39:59Thanks for the assistance.

00:40:01Yeah, right?

00:40:01We'll go see.

00:40:02We'll go see.

00:40:03What?

00:40:04What?

00:40:04Michelle!

00:40:05This is not for her.

00:40:07Get out of the truck!

00:40:08That lady crazy.

00:40:09Yeah, 748.

00:40:12But you don't know

00:40:14the color.

00:40:14Color number 324.

00:40:16That's all we got?

00:40:16Number 324.

00:40:18Alright, I'm going to

00:40:19look theirs up for real.

00:40:20White glove delivery.

00:40:21A little hair start.

00:40:23Let's see

00:40:24if the color

00:40:25is as

00:40:26we wanted.

00:40:28Woo!

00:40:29These are gorgeous.

00:40:38This flooring is taking

00:40:40way too long.

00:40:42Babe, I need you

00:40:44to come here, please.

00:40:46I really need to finish

00:40:48our staircase project.

00:40:50I just need you

00:40:51to take over

00:40:52if you can

00:40:53have some

00:40:54shorter starters,

00:40:56some longer starters.

00:40:57Break it up.

00:40:58That'll be the best way

00:40:59to try to keep

00:41:00this pattern

00:41:01not so brick layout

00:41:02and more of a flow.

00:41:04I've been doing

00:41:05renovations for

00:41:06three years.

00:41:07She's been doing it

00:41:07for about eight years.

00:41:08So, I want to have her

00:41:10trust me on job sites

00:41:11where she's not around.

00:41:12I know

00:41:13what she expects.

00:41:15So, I'm just trying

00:41:16to show her that

00:41:17I pay attention.

00:41:19Being able to take over

00:41:20something that she

00:41:22is really good at

00:41:23just kind of shows

00:41:24that she trusts

00:41:25my judgment.

00:41:32Babe, I need your help

00:41:34because I'm not

00:41:34going to be able

00:41:35to reach this.

00:41:35Ready?

00:41:39Boom.

00:41:40All right.

00:41:41I'll try not to

00:41:41make the design

00:41:42too crazy

00:41:43but you still

00:41:44got to get all that.

00:41:48Even though

00:41:49all of these angles

00:41:50have been

00:41:50really complicated

00:41:51I am so excited

00:41:53for how this

00:41:53is starting to look.

00:41:55I know

00:41:55I had to

00:41:56you know

00:41:57sorry

00:41:57go into

00:41:58more of the budget

00:41:59for it to happen

00:42:00but please

00:42:01believe me

00:42:02when I say

00:42:03that that was

00:42:03a good idea.

00:42:05It's definitely

00:42:06time consuming.

00:42:06Oh yeah, for sure.

00:42:07We definitely

00:42:08got to finish

00:42:08today

00:42:10because we got

00:42:10to move on

00:42:11to other projects.

00:42:12Yeah, just trust me

00:42:13it's going to be worth it.

00:42:14This is setting

00:42:15the bar real high.

00:42:16They don't even

00:42:17know what we got

00:42:17in store.

00:42:18They don't even

00:42:18know what we got

00:42:19in store.

00:42:23Today we're

00:42:23standing down

00:42:24the popcorn ceilings

00:42:25and painting

00:42:26in our living room.

00:42:27Oh my gosh

00:42:28work has started.

00:42:30Yeah, what you think?

00:42:32As soon as I walked in

00:42:33it was like boom

00:42:34this is where

00:42:34my attention was drawn.

00:42:36We will have

00:42:36a reclaimed mantle

00:42:38here which is

00:42:39going to be

00:42:39really cool.

00:42:40We kind of

00:42:41brainstormed

00:42:42some initial ideas

00:42:43so I'm curious

00:42:45has anything pivoted?

00:42:47Yes, what do you think?

00:42:48One thing I am seeing

00:42:50is some changes

00:42:51to our original game plan.

00:42:53The floating shelves

00:42:54are kind of anchored here.

00:42:55Where are my Murphy beds?

00:43:01So we really liked

00:43:02your idea

00:43:03but functionally

00:43:04we weren't sure

00:43:05if it's going to work.

00:43:06I just want to make sure

00:43:07throughout the house

00:43:08that we have those

00:43:08like wow moments

00:43:09that are going to be

00:43:10kind of surprises

00:43:10for the judge

00:43:11because I think

00:43:11that's what's going

00:43:12to make it memorable.

00:43:13So we didn't get

00:43:14the twin beds

00:43:14that's okay.

00:43:15What about the access

00:43:16to this deck

00:43:17from this living room?

00:43:18It's going right here.

00:43:19Yes!

00:43:20This whole window

00:43:22will be a giant slider.

00:43:24We're excited!

00:43:24I love that.

00:43:25Okay, yeah.

00:43:26But there's more.

00:43:27It's not just the living room

00:43:28for this challenge.

00:43:29It's also the entry

00:43:30and the stairs.

00:43:32On the stairs

00:43:33we'll add some character

00:43:34with a creative design treatment

00:43:35and an updated railing detail.

00:43:38In a vacation rental

00:43:39convenience goes a long way

00:43:40so we want to use

00:43:41the landing

00:43:41at the top of the stairs

00:43:42to create a functional spot

00:43:44for a few everyday essentials.

00:43:46Taking it to the next level.

00:43:48Literally.

00:43:48Remember this guy?

00:43:49So chunky.

00:43:51Yeah.

00:43:51We don't love it

00:43:52but we have a solution maybe.

00:43:54We found these little windows

00:43:56at a salvage yard.

00:43:58The thought is

00:43:59we find where the walls framed out

00:44:01and they go kind of in the cavities.

00:44:04So we have a little light

00:44:05just to give it some character

00:44:06because this is so boring.

00:44:08Yeah.

00:44:09But if the studs are too close together

00:44:10this won't work.

00:44:11I love it.

00:44:12So we need to make sure

00:44:13we can even do it

00:44:14which means demo.

00:44:15Fingers crossed!

00:44:16Alright, let's get some tools.

00:44:22Easy.

00:44:24Easy.

00:44:26That's good.

00:44:28Oh yeah.

00:44:29We have plenty of room.

00:44:30So this is a really cool pivot

00:44:32you guys.

00:44:33This is like touching

00:44:34every spot of the house

00:44:35so that it tells a story

00:44:36on every level.

00:44:37So putting design elements

00:44:39and character

00:44:39in every single space

00:44:41is probably what it's

00:44:43going to take to win.

00:44:44However, we are restricted

00:44:46on how much time we have.

00:44:48The worst thing would be

00:44:49you have all these ideas

00:44:50you started

00:44:51and you're not done

00:44:52before the judges arrive.

00:44:54Kind of scary.

00:44:55This is a good find.

00:44:56As long as we have time

00:44:57to finish it.

00:45:03Hello, hello.

00:45:04What's going on?

00:45:05We are trying to get these in

00:45:08as fast as we can.

00:45:10We're halfway through

00:45:11the first week here

00:45:12and concerns are mounting.

00:45:15Real world check-in time.

00:45:17How are you two feeling?

00:45:19We're trying to, you know,

00:45:21just be there for support

00:45:22for one another.

00:45:23The days have been

00:45:25getting the best of us.

00:45:26We just try to block out

00:45:28all of the, you know,

00:45:29negativity or anything

00:45:31that's just kind of stirring up

00:45:32and just kind of keep

00:45:33moving forward.

00:45:34Ask for help in the areas

00:45:36that you needed.

00:45:37You both can't do it all.

00:45:38I know, but the numbers

00:45:40be killing me.

00:45:42The budget.

00:45:43I can't.

00:45:44I know, that budget is...

00:45:45I literally think

00:45:45I can do it all,

00:45:46but with the time,

00:45:47I can't.

00:45:48You can't.

00:45:48I don't want to just

00:45:50subcontract people

00:45:51because we need to

00:45:52spread that money out

00:45:53so that we can bring

00:45:54home the win.

00:45:55You guys are going

00:45:56to get burnt out.

00:45:57This is week one

00:45:58and you're going to be

00:45:59in the final week

00:46:00and you're going to have

00:46:01nothing.

00:46:01You're going to be

00:46:01exhausted.

00:46:02You're going to be

00:46:03beyond worn out.

00:46:04You're going to be

00:46:04arguing with each other

00:46:05and you're going to be

00:46:06really feeling the stress

00:46:08of making this

00:46:09and getting across the finish.

00:46:10So you can't do that

00:46:10to yourselves.

00:46:11Does that make sense?

00:46:12Yeah, it makes sense.

00:46:13Yes, that does.

00:46:14I know you've also

00:46:15been working on the stairs.

00:46:16Yes.

00:46:16As well.

00:46:19Oh, you guys

00:46:20have been busy.

00:46:22There's a huge scope

00:46:23of work.

00:46:23We have to be very

00:46:25mindful of not getting

00:46:27sucked into some

00:46:28of these projects

00:46:29that are eating up

00:46:31the overall time

00:46:32that we have here.

00:46:33So it's like

00:46:34a freestyle abstract.

00:46:35Sorry, no one over here.

00:46:37I think this is gorgeous,

00:46:39but by the time

00:46:39this is done,

00:46:40how many hours

00:46:41are you going to have

00:46:42committed to this?

00:46:44A day.

00:46:45A full day's worth

00:46:46of work.

00:46:46And do you think

00:46:47that value is going

00:46:48to be there?

00:46:48I believe the wow factor

00:46:50will definitely create

00:46:52the value that is there,

00:46:53yes.

00:46:53But we are not doing

00:46:54this again anywhere else

00:46:56because this was

00:46:57time consuming.

00:46:58Because this is a day,

00:46:59like a whole day.

00:47:01We don't want to have

00:47:02Sarah pulling the hair

00:47:03out.

00:47:03I already am,

00:47:05you two,

00:47:05and this is the first

00:47:06week.

00:47:07Angelina and Stephen

00:47:08have a concrete idea

00:47:09of where they want

00:47:10this house to go.

00:47:11You two are killing me

00:47:13here.

00:47:14I really feel

00:47:15responsible to kind

00:47:16of not allow them

00:47:17to get just preoccupied

00:47:20with all of the

00:47:21wonderful things

00:47:22they'd love to add

00:47:22on to the space.

00:47:24I understand this

00:47:25is your vision

00:47:25and you love it

00:47:26and I will be here

00:47:27to support it.

00:47:27I just don't want

00:47:28it to be the downfall

00:47:30of this entire week

00:47:31because the big things

00:47:32didn't get finished.

00:47:33Understood.

00:47:40Our living room

00:47:41is coming together

00:47:42so now it's time

00:47:43to refresh the stairs

00:47:44and landing

00:47:44with updated wallpaper,

00:47:46new lighting,

00:47:47and transom windows

00:47:48that bring in

00:47:48more natural light.

00:47:52All right!

00:47:54You like our fireplace?

00:47:55Well, I like the fact

00:47:56that the old one's gone.

00:47:57Yeah!

00:47:57I was expecting

00:47:59to see more done.

00:48:00We have a fireplace

00:48:03still, which is great.

00:48:05But we've got

00:48:06a long way to go.

00:48:07So what's the plan?

00:48:08We've got a new

00:48:09working one coming in.

00:48:10Electric, yep.

00:48:11Okay, I love it.

00:48:12We're going to still

00:48:12do the mantel?

00:48:13Yep.

00:48:13We got some brick here.

00:48:15You didn't get

00:48:16any backup plan B, right?

00:48:18Like tile of any kind?

00:48:19Okay, so it's brick

00:48:20or nothing.

00:48:21It's brick.

00:48:22I can feel your hesitation.

00:48:24Yeah.

00:48:25Like, this is going

00:48:26to be a challenge.

00:48:27You know that, right?

00:48:27Yeah.

00:48:28My whole kitchen

00:48:29has brick floors.

00:48:30Floors work really well

00:48:31because of the gravity.

00:48:33Getting this kid here

00:48:34is a whole different story.

00:48:35Did you ever decide

00:48:36on what the color

00:48:37of the walls are going

00:48:37to be?

00:48:38White walls

00:48:38and an accent trim,

00:48:40like a sage green.

00:48:41So you're going to do

00:48:42green trim on white walls?

00:48:44Yeah.

00:48:45That means even

00:48:46the trim on the windows

00:48:47is going to go green.

00:48:48Yep.

00:48:49Just the outer portion.

00:48:50The outer portion.

00:48:50Have you seen a picture

00:48:52of something like that

00:48:53that works?

00:48:54Yep.

00:48:54I'd love to see

00:48:55that picture.

00:48:57I do love the ceiling.

00:48:58I'm guessing the beam

00:48:59is going to cover

00:49:00the gap though, right?

00:49:00Yep.

00:49:01Well, that looks great.

00:49:02You got Wayne scouting

00:49:03on the wall.

00:49:03That was a bit of a challenge.

00:49:04Yeah, nothing's level

00:49:05in houses like this.

00:49:06No.

00:49:07So you're still

00:49:08thinking gallery wall?

00:49:09Yeah, we've got

00:49:09a whole bunch of frames

00:49:10coming to kind of fill them in.

00:49:12I don't know if just

00:49:13like simple framed artwork

00:49:14is going to be enough

00:49:15to squate judges.

00:49:17I don't think that's

00:49:18going to make somebody

00:49:19go like,

00:49:19that's why I want

00:49:20to rent this place.

00:49:21I also want to talk

00:49:22about the entryway.

00:49:23You know, let's take a look.

00:49:25So there used to be

00:49:26a closet.

00:49:27Yep.

00:49:27We took that out.

00:49:30What's the plan here?

00:49:31It's kind of like

00:49:32a gallery wall.

00:49:34So this is going

00:49:34to be your gallery wall.

00:49:35Well, it's a different version.

00:49:37I found these fish.

00:49:38I'll show you

00:49:39a picture of them.

00:49:41Oh, okay.

00:49:42I love fish.

00:49:42Yeah.

00:49:43You got your grouper,

00:49:43your snapper.

00:49:44Yep.

00:49:44Yeah.

00:49:45And they're in just

00:49:46like a simple black

00:49:46matted frame.

00:49:47And then we're going to

00:49:49put like a fishing pole

00:49:50holder on the ceiling

00:49:52and put like six

00:49:54fishing poles.

00:49:56Okay.

00:49:58Um.

00:49:59Got bigger ideas.

00:50:01This screams,

00:50:02this is where I take

00:50:03off my stuff.

00:50:04I put my towel down.

00:50:05I like the idea

00:50:06of the old school fishing,

00:50:07but how about this?

00:50:09Like you could also use

00:50:10old fishing reels.

00:50:12You could turn those

00:50:12into hangers.

00:50:13Instead of it just being art,

00:50:15could it also be

00:50:15a little bit of function?

00:50:17That is a recipe

00:50:18for a disorganized

00:50:20hall room.

00:50:21I just don't like

00:50:22seeing everybody's coats.

00:50:25So here's the thing.

00:50:27I've seen this scenario

00:50:28play out.

00:50:29It's not adding anything

00:50:30structural to the,

00:50:31to the build.

00:50:32And I think whenever

00:50:33you just use art,

00:50:34you don't win

00:50:35because it's just art

00:50:36and anybody can put

00:50:37any kind of art

00:50:38they want up.

00:50:45This entrance is more

00:50:46important than I think

00:50:47we're putting emphasis on,

00:50:48but like it's the first

00:50:49thing people are going

00:50:50to see when they walk in.

00:50:51That's all I'm saying.

00:50:52We've already got

00:50:53the fireplace built in.

00:50:54We've already got

00:50:54the brick.

00:50:55We've got the ceiling.

00:50:56We've got the beams.

00:50:56We've got the transoms.

00:50:58We can't build

00:50:59any more stuff.

00:50:59I think we just have

00:51:00to stick with that

00:51:02unless...

00:51:02If we can stick

00:51:03some hooks here and there,

00:51:04we'll stick some hooks.

00:51:05Yeah.

00:51:05Okay.

00:51:06Artwork and cutesy things

00:51:07are great at people

00:51:09saying I love it,

00:51:10but it's not necessarily

00:51:11the same thing as saying

00:51:12this was a very smart move.

00:51:15This is why these guys won.

00:51:17I don't think that's

00:51:18going to make somebody

00:51:19go like that's why

00:51:21I want to rent this place.

00:51:22So what needs to be done

00:51:24and how soon can we do it?

00:51:25Right.

00:51:27You came to work today, right?

00:51:28Yeah.

00:51:29Let's do it.

00:51:38Today, we're building

00:51:39a coffee table

00:51:40out of salvaged materials

00:51:41while our sliding glass door

00:51:43is being installed.

00:51:44And we are adding

00:51:45a kitchenette

00:51:45on our landing,

00:51:46which I don't think

00:51:47any other team

00:51:48is doing that.

00:51:48Our cabinets

00:51:49and wine fridge

00:51:49have arrived

00:51:50and we're excited

00:51:51to show Mika.

00:51:52Is this a wine fr...

00:51:53Oh, yeah.

00:51:55You're speaking

00:51:56my language.

00:51:57I love this cabinetry.

00:51:59This is so nice.

00:52:01This is going to be

00:52:02a win for you guys.

00:52:04We're just thinking

00:52:04about the guests

00:52:05start to finish,

00:52:06what works

00:52:07and what doesn't work

00:52:08and try to do that

00:52:09in our design.

00:52:09I feel like this living room

00:52:11feels so much bigger.

00:52:13I know it wasn't cheap.

00:52:15This whole door

00:52:16costs about $8,000.

00:52:18This is going to pay off

00:52:19for sure.

00:52:20I really feel like

00:52:21you guys made the right

00:52:22decision with this investment.

00:52:24I love the symmetry

00:52:24of the floating shelves.

00:52:26Plus, a fireplace

00:52:27gives me cozy,

00:52:28quiet luxury.

00:52:29We are definitely

00:52:31going to make

00:52:32these other teams

00:52:32work very hard

00:52:33to try to beat us.

00:52:36We could not

00:52:38cap our fireplace.

00:52:40We had to pay $500.

00:52:41So we decided

00:52:42it's probably a good idea

00:52:44to do some thrifting.

00:52:46So we need a couch

00:52:47for the living room.

00:52:49I am not howling

00:52:51that upstairs.

00:52:52That's a sleeper.

00:52:53Oh, and no way.

00:52:55What about this couch?

00:52:57Not the cleanest

00:52:58of cleans.

00:52:59I've seen better days.

00:53:00I think we could

00:53:01get that to work.

00:53:02It's neutral enough.

00:53:03Hopefully the snakes

00:53:05come out.

00:53:06I know.

00:53:07I think it's $200.

00:53:08Yeah.

00:53:09We know what we were

00:53:10looking at for new ones.

00:53:11Yeah.

00:53:11The cheapest we could

00:53:12find was like $5.50.

00:53:14For something we'd order

00:53:16and don't know

00:53:16what it looks like.

00:53:17Gotta risk it

00:53:18for the biscuit.

00:53:20So provided

00:53:21our couch comes clean,

00:53:23we gotta haul.

00:53:24And if not,

00:53:25that's what they make

00:53:26throw blankets for.

00:53:34So adding a fireplace

00:53:35to our design

00:53:36was definitely

00:53:37a last minute decision,

00:53:39but it was necessary

00:53:40because our living room

00:53:42was lacking character.

00:53:44You go this way.

00:53:45Steven found

00:53:46a really great fireplace

00:53:48that was within the budget,

00:53:50and I decided

00:53:52to add some shiplap to it

00:53:54so that I can give it

00:53:55a little bit more design.

00:53:56It looks good, though.

00:53:58It does.

00:53:58It looks really good.

00:54:00It's such a big impact

00:54:01for so little money.

00:54:02We're wondering where else

00:54:03we could do something

00:54:04like this.

00:54:05Why don't we faux-create

00:54:07a little bit of detail,

00:54:08applied molding,

00:54:09with what we have on site

00:54:11because I do not want

00:54:12to spend any more

00:54:13of your budget.

00:54:13We have a ton of baseboards,

00:54:15so we're gonna cheat, cheat,

00:54:16cheat till the cows come home.

00:54:17We're gonna use this

00:54:19as a chair roll,

00:54:19then we have some detail.

00:54:21Deal.

00:54:21Okay.

00:54:22All right.

00:54:23I'm so glad

00:54:23we got to add

00:54:24some character

00:54:25to this room.

00:54:26because adding a bedroom

00:54:27was not enough

00:54:28to win this competition.

00:54:29We got to make this room,

00:54:31like, really stand out.

00:54:33And this is adding

00:54:33to the vision.

00:54:37Today, subcontractors

00:54:38are installing

00:54:38new quartzite

00:54:39around the fireplace.

00:54:40We are hanging

00:54:41our wallpaper,

00:54:42painting our staircase,

00:54:43and installing

00:54:43our rope handrail

00:54:44before we install

00:54:45the wood mantle.

00:54:46This is a beast.

00:54:49Bring it your way.

00:54:50Perfect.

00:54:50Okay.

00:54:51Send it.

00:54:58Can I step back

00:54:59and see how it looks?

00:55:00Okay.

00:55:01I like the little green

00:55:02paint on the end.

00:55:03It's got a new life.

00:55:04Yay!

00:55:09I still can't get over

00:55:10how amazingly lucky

00:55:12we got with these bricks.

00:55:14I know.

00:55:15That's incredible.

00:55:16Let's get a beam up

00:55:17and see what this looks like.

00:55:18This is going to really

00:55:20change the vibe, man.

00:55:21I love it.

00:55:22Good work, everybody.

00:55:27Well, this looks amazing.

00:55:28It does look amazing.

00:55:30I mean, really, really good.

00:55:31We might just have

00:55:32a winning living room.

00:55:33All right, let's stay at it.

00:55:36Hour and a half.

00:55:37We got to pull it all together.

00:55:38It's going to look good

00:55:39if we finish.

00:55:41It's time to bring in

00:55:43our judges

00:55:43from Hawaii, Tristan,

00:55:45and Kamahai Kalama.

00:55:47That is cool.

00:55:48I like that a lot.

00:55:50There aren't a lot

00:55:51of other features in here.

00:55:53Don't know if the decision

00:55:54you made here makes sense.

00:55:56Now for the twist.

00:55:58What?

00:55:59We're upping the ante.

00:56:06Hour and a half.

00:56:07We got to pull it all together.

00:56:08Hopefully, you've got

00:56:08your art ready to go

00:56:09that's going to go in here.

00:56:10Oh, yeah.

00:56:11Lots.

00:56:11We need to get this mantle up.

00:56:13Yep.

00:56:13And then...

00:56:15That puppy goes in.

00:56:16So we've got a lot going on

00:56:18with this race to finish.

00:56:19We've got curtains

00:56:20and rods to go up.

00:56:21We've got two gallery walls,

00:56:23two.

00:56:24We got to put the cover

00:56:25that goes on that thing.

00:56:27Did this go through

00:56:27a washing machine or something?

00:56:28You did.

00:56:29Skin tight.

00:56:31This is the crunch time

00:56:32right here.

00:56:33We have a bedroom,

00:56:34living room,

00:56:35and a landing.

00:56:36A lot of furniture to get up.

00:56:37I can start getting beds made,

00:56:38styling, all that,

00:56:39but let's get the big,

00:56:40heavy stuff up first.

00:56:41I'll finish wiping this down.

00:56:42We'll be ready.

00:56:43Yes, ma'am.

00:56:44We have no time,

00:56:46but we have so many projects

00:56:48that are unfinished.

00:56:49It is very fast and...

00:56:52Stressful.

00:56:52You guys did buy

00:56:53the biggest sofa known

00:56:54to mankind.

00:56:55The boys are bringing up

00:56:56the heavy sleeper sofa.

00:56:58There we go, boys.

00:57:00Perfect.

00:57:01Racing to the finish

00:57:02for this first week's challenge,

00:57:03it's all about divide and conquer.

00:57:05We have the living room space,

00:57:07we've got the staircase

00:57:08and the landing.

00:57:09We are trying to make sure

00:57:10that we use our time wisely

00:57:11so we can pull off a win.

00:57:13Big pieces coming in.

00:57:14It's huge.

00:57:22My word.

00:57:24Now we're talking.

00:57:25Why does yours look so frumpy?

00:57:32All right, let's try it.

00:57:33Slide it on.

00:57:35Looks hella good.

00:57:38I can't see.

00:57:40Touch up, aisle one.

00:57:41Touch up.

00:57:42Sarah's helping with placement.

00:57:44Steven's putting up the curtains.

00:57:45We're all dividing and conquering

00:57:47and making sure that all

00:57:48of these spaces

00:57:49are equally attended to.

00:57:51Oh my gosh,

00:57:51this is the last thing

00:57:52I want to be doing

00:57:52is painting on the day of safety.

00:57:55I do not want the judges

00:57:56to point it out.

00:57:59Okay.

00:58:00Wiping down the surface areas here.

00:58:02This kitchenette

00:58:03was such a good idea.

00:58:06All three of us

00:58:07are running on adrenaline.

00:58:08This is week one.

00:58:09This is our first space

00:58:10that's going to get judged.

00:58:11How's upstairs look?

00:58:13It's coming together.

00:58:14It's going to look good

00:58:15if we finish.

00:58:17I'm just paranoid

00:58:19of finishing now.

00:58:21We're starting

00:58:22the winging process.

00:58:25I am a winger

00:58:26to my core.

00:58:27Maybe it would look better

00:58:29if I took more time,

00:58:30but we adjust

00:58:31the furniture accordingly.

00:58:32We can slide it over.

00:58:33I love it.

00:58:34We'll center it.

00:58:35A lot of fish.

00:58:37Running out of time.

00:58:39Running out of hope.

00:58:42Running out of dreams.

00:58:43You guys think

00:58:44we got a chance

00:58:45at winning this one?

00:58:46We hope so.

00:58:47Hope so.

00:58:4830 minutes left, guys.

00:58:50Woo!

00:58:51We got to hurry up

00:58:52in no time.

00:58:54Yep.

00:58:55Staircase Acrobats

00:58:56by Mika.

00:58:58Squeaky clean, baby.

00:59:00It's all fun and games

00:59:01until they say

00:59:02judges are coming.

00:59:03Or to hang

00:59:03in this picture

00:59:04in a time crunch.

00:59:05Yeah, exactly.

00:59:06I'm struggling over here.

00:59:08There's a time crunch

00:59:09and extra stress.

00:59:11I am struggling

00:59:12to hang this wall art.

00:59:14Ah!

00:59:15A lot of pressure

00:59:16to hang wall art

00:59:17when there's pressure.

00:59:25This is literally

00:59:26the largest hookup.

00:59:30Drapes are so complicated.

00:59:33I feel like

00:59:34I should move this.

00:59:35Woo!

00:59:37Babe, we got

00:59:3810 minutes left.

00:59:39It won't go in.

00:59:40It's not enough.

00:59:42And that's the longest

00:59:43that they can't.

00:59:44I need the pole extension.

00:59:46Where is it?

00:59:47At the warehouse

00:59:48tagged as

00:59:49we don't want.

00:59:50Well, that's not helpful.

00:59:51That shouldn't have

00:59:52gone to the

00:59:53do not want

00:59:54because you needed it.

00:59:57I've been making

00:59:57a call for your life

00:59:59to see what you can get.

01:00:00Okay.

01:00:09Let's figure this out.

01:00:11You have a whole

01:00:12other rod set.

01:00:13Yeah, we do.

01:00:14Then just do a single here

01:00:15and then do one more

01:00:16single over that.

01:00:17Honestly, while we're

01:00:18doing all of this staging,

01:00:19it is very hectic.

01:00:20There's so much to do.

01:00:22I'm over here

01:00:23hanging curtain rods

01:00:24for way too long.

01:00:25I don't know

01:00:26if we're even

01:00:26going to finish in time.

01:00:27We can make it work.

01:00:38You're wall of fish

01:00:40have been mounted.

01:00:42Five minutes.

01:00:44Man, that's the fastest

01:00:45hour and a half

01:00:45of my life.

01:00:46Coming together,

01:00:47coming together.

01:00:52We got to stop

01:00:53in two minutes.

01:00:54Put that in the corner

01:00:56and I think that is

01:00:57all we have time for.

01:00:59You've got this.

01:00:59You've got that.

01:01:01I'll see you on the beach.

01:01:02See you.

01:01:02Good luck.

01:01:04See you soon.

01:01:06Babe, we got one minute.

01:01:13Five, four, three, two, one.

01:01:17My God.

01:01:19Rushed, rushed, rushed,

01:01:20but it's pretty pretty pretty.

01:01:30Come on in.

01:01:31Oh, yeah.

01:01:33Well rested.

01:01:34I don't know.

01:01:35They still look like

01:01:35they all love each other.

01:01:37Those aren't too dirty.

01:01:38Well, we're just getting started.

01:01:39Yeah?

01:01:40Yeah.

01:01:40Congratulations

01:01:41on finishing your first battle.

01:01:44Yeah.

01:01:46With your first room finish,

01:01:48it's time to bring in our judges.

01:01:51Yes.

01:01:52You know them

01:01:53from their hit series,

01:01:55Renovation Aloha.

01:01:56They're not here to make friends.

01:01:58They're here to make waves.

01:02:01All the way from Hawaii,

01:02:03welcome Tristan and Kamahai Kalama.

01:02:06You better be ready.

01:02:14Good to see you guys.

01:02:25Well, it's great to see you all.

01:02:27I can't wait to see

01:02:33All right, gladly.

01:02:35We are here for you.

01:02:36I saved you a spot.

01:02:37All right, guys.

01:02:38Oh my goodness.

01:02:40I'm feeling good.

01:02:41You got this.

01:02:43So, Angelina and Steven,

01:02:45what has been the most challenging part

01:02:48of your first week on the beach?

01:02:50Don't say me.

01:02:51No.

01:02:52No, no, no.

01:02:53I guess it was trying to have realistic goals

01:02:57versus dreams.

01:02:58I'm a big dreamer,

01:02:59and I want a lot to happen,

01:03:00but we only have one week to do it,

01:03:02so that was the biggest challenge.

01:03:05I am a dreamer, too.

01:03:06I get that.

01:03:08What about you, Anna and Josiah?

01:03:10I think staying on budget.

01:03:12That budget doesn't go far.

01:03:13This is the first challenge,

01:03:14and we really got to make it last

01:03:16for the whole house.

01:03:17He can tell you I struggle with budget, too.

01:03:19All the time.

01:03:20I always have to reel her in.

01:03:23Lastly, my mother-daughter duo,

01:03:26Sydney and Michelle.

01:03:26I feel like we both love the design part,

01:03:29so, like, sharing that is hard,

01:03:31and we both have different design styles,

01:03:34so kind of combining those and...

01:03:37Yes, definitely.

01:03:38And communicating with her mentor

01:03:40has been a real struggle at times.

01:03:43This week was all about first impressions,

01:03:46and you had the opportunity for a big one

01:03:50with the living room, entryway, and the stairs.

01:03:53And that's an important set of spaces

01:03:55because the common areas are where people gather

01:03:58and spend the most time.

01:03:59When we evaluate your homes,

01:04:01we'll be looking at booking power,

01:04:04functionality, and design.

01:04:06After we assess your spaces,

01:04:09the winner of this week's living room battle

01:04:12will win $3,000 in cash.

01:04:15Yeah!

01:04:15Come on!

01:04:16Come on!

01:04:19That's a lot of money.

01:04:21Sydney and Michelle,

01:04:22we'll kick things off with your house.

01:04:24Let's do it!

01:04:25Fingers crossed, people!

01:04:27All right, look, guys.

01:04:29Welcome to our house!

01:04:34Look at how cute!

01:04:35I'm sure you guys have done some fishing in your day.

01:04:38Never on the ceiling.

01:04:39This is unexpected in a good way.

01:04:42But this, I am obsessed with.

01:04:46Like, obsessed.

01:04:47She loves picture walls.

01:04:49Oh, you do?

01:04:49Okay.

01:04:49This is our state fish.

01:04:51This is our state fish.

01:04:52Kumohomo nukunuku apua'a.

01:04:54Yes.

01:04:55Such a small name.

01:04:56I know.

01:04:56I would be the bloated, upside-down blowfish.

01:04:59That is hilarious.

01:05:00No, I think it's really fun.

01:05:01It ties to the fishing, right?

01:05:03It's very coastal.

01:05:04We're on the beach.

01:05:05Yeah.

01:05:05So let's check out the living room.

01:05:11Oh, my gosh.

01:05:13Look at how many people you could sit here.

01:05:15I know.

01:05:15It's massive.

01:05:16This was definitely not like this.

01:05:18I can imagine.

01:05:18Yeah.

01:05:19I like the amount of seating.

01:05:22We travel deep.

01:05:23Like, I think just the amount of grandkids is close to 20 at this point.

01:05:27Whoa.

01:05:28Yeah, so we need a lot of space.

01:05:30Well, this is what I really like.

01:05:32This isn't the largest space in the world.

01:05:35No, it's not.

01:05:35But they were able to fit so much seating in here, and it doesn't feel cluttered.

01:05:42And I love the fireplace.

01:05:44They installed the brick.

01:05:46You guys know how difficult it is.

01:05:48Yeah.

01:05:48It looks like it was meant to be in the space.

01:05:50Yeah.

01:05:50It looks great.

01:05:51I love how they whitewashed it a little, so it feels more traditional.

01:05:56I think that built-ins add a lot.

01:05:58Storage.

01:05:59Storage always adds value.

01:06:00It does look to your neighbor.

01:06:02That would be the only thing.

01:06:04So this blind might stay closed.

01:06:06Right.

01:06:06But from the right angle, from my angle, you can still see the other.

01:06:10They put in these beams.

01:06:12Yeah.

01:06:12The flooring kind of matches the color on the beams, which I like when there's cohesiveness

01:06:17and colorways get tied together.

01:06:19It feels very cohesive.

01:06:21It does.

01:06:22As far as finish goes, there's just tiny paint over here.

01:06:27And then I just see a gap in the beam.

01:06:29It does feel, I don't want to say old, but it kind of feels a little old.

01:06:36Mature coastal cottage.

01:06:37Mature.

01:06:37Well, it's got a little coastal grandma, grandpa going.

01:06:40There you go.

01:06:41Oh, you said it.

01:06:41You said it.

01:06:42It was mature, and then they teamed up with me.

01:06:44So you've got sort of immature meets mature.

01:06:47But that is big here.

01:06:49You've got to understand.

01:06:50Okay, okay.

01:06:50That is big here.

01:06:51The cool thing about this is it's not just a living room I'm showing you.

01:06:54Okay.

01:06:54We also have a staircase.

01:06:56Oh, let's check it out.

01:06:57Yeah.

01:06:57Come on.

01:06:59So stairwell upstairs.

01:07:05Look at this wallpaper.

01:07:08They wanted to make sure they put in transoms to give it that old world ride.

01:07:11Did they put those in?

01:07:12They put the transoms in?

01:07:13Yeah.

01:07:13That is cool.

01:07:14I like that a lot.

01:07:15And they're specific to places here.

01:07:17I think it just gives that little bit of character that I almost expect in these homes.

01:07:23It also allows the natural light from the bedrooms to come into this space.

01:07:27That is impressive.

01:07:28I think it's a job well done.

01:07:30I really do.

01:07:31And I also like how this light, I think it's the same or if it's really similar to the one

01:07:36in the living room.

01:07:36One of the first things I noticed, it does feel a little bit empty up here.

01:07:42I think that they could have continued the wallpaper or maybe a light fixture over the stairs.

01:07:46Do something fun in the stairwell itself.

01:07:49Something over the stairwell.

01:07:50Yeah.

01:07:50It's darker, so it feels like it's closing the space off.

01:07:55I think we've seen enough.

01:07:56Okay.

01:07:57Why don't you go back down to the beach?

01:07:59All right.

01:07:59Will do.

01:08:00See you guys out there.

01:08:03Let's check it out.

01:08:04Come inside.

01:08:05Come on in.

01:08:06Ooh.

01:08:07Welcome home.

01:08:08It smells good in here.

01:08:10I mean, are you kidding me?

01:08:16It's so light.

01:08:17Yeah.

01:08:18Great.

01:08:19I absolutely love that.

01:08:20It's airy.

01:08:22We really had a lot of empty space in the living room.

01:08:25Okay.

01:08:26And we've tried to still make it feel cozy, conversational, but with a ton of seating that's flexible.

01:08:33This is a big, big couch.

01:08:35From a color palette, they really wanted just to feel serene.

01:08:40Baymaxed.

01:08:41Yes.

01:08:41Yeah.

01:08:42This definitely gives you a coastal feel.

01:08:45I do wish that I saw some, like, pops of color on the wall.

01:08:50Okay.

01:08:51Like, an art that mimics, like, the blues that you put onto the couch.

01:08:56They went out and took all the photography themselves.

01:08:58No way.

01:08:59So I said, why are you exploring?

01:09:00I love the...

01:09:01Oh!

01:09:02I love that.

01:09:03I am noticing this light.

01:09:06I know I'm tall, but...

01:09:08I know.

01:09:08I was like, oh.

01:09:09I'm interested to see if I hit my head.

01:09:12I don't.

01:09:13Don't jump.

01:09:14I don't, but don't know if that would be the light fixture I would have chosen for the space.

01:09:20I don't know if it fits the overall vibe that they were going for.

01:09:23Almost modern, and that's not...

01:09:25There's this more coastal beach.

01:09:27Yeah, and I know you said seating, and I think you did the best with this space, but for the

01:09:33vacation rental market, we know we need seating.

01:09:36As much as possible.

01:09:38Okay.

01:09:39One of the things we did differently, we made this living room smaller.

01:09:44This whole wall is all new.

01:09:48Okay.

01:09:48So what we've done here is we put in the fireplace.

01:09:50So we really created a focal feature.

01:09:53I'm interested to see what's on the other side of this wall, because I want to make sure that the

01:09:59decision you made here makes sense.

01:10:09Wow.

01:10:10Wow.

01:10:12Okay.

01:10:13I think it was a good idea.

01:10:19This is a major value add.

01:10:22Adding a bedroom on the main floor, it's practical.

01:10:27We travel with both sets of parents all the time.

01:10:30All the time.

01:10:30Yeah, so do we.

01:10:31This would get used.

01:10:34And you have a little dry bar here.

01:10:36We tried to do a little dry bar so you could have a little coffee set up in the morning.

01:10:39So nice.

01:10:40And really feel private.

01:10:42Yep.

01:10:43Access to the outside is crucial, too.

01:10:46So you've added a whole nother bedroom.

01:10:49Now the question I have is, because you did that, the amount of people that are going to be in

01:10:56here, can the living room support that space?

01:10:58Yes.

01:11:00Without a shadow of a doubt.

01:11:02Very sure.

01:11:02She said yes.

01:11:03Yes.

01:11:04Yes.

01:11:04All right.

01:11:05Follow me.

01:11:07Oh, wow.

01:11:09Look at all this wall detail here.

01:11:11Yes.

01:11:15So she took the time to sort of map this all out.

01:11:19A little bit of personality.

01:11:21Yes.

01:11:21Yeah.

01:11:22I can see her label of love.

01:11:24So kudos to her.

01:11:26We did have shag carpet absolutely everywhere.

01:11:29That's crazy.

01:11:30By just pulling all of that up, that was a lot of our budget as well.

01:11:33This lighter palette on the floor, on the walls, it does make it feel new and fresh.

01:11:39Did notice a few craftsmanship issues.

01:11:44A few more hours in a day.

01:11:46Could have done it.

01:11:47Finishing, repainting one final coat would make a big difference.

01:11:50Yeah.

01:11:51All right.

01:11:51I think we've seen all the spaces.

01:11:53Sarah, you can head back down to the beach.

01:11:55We'll see you guys soon.

01:11:59Come on in.

01:12:01Welcome.

01:12:05Oh, wow.

01:12:07Welcome, welcome.

01:12:08The door that we just walked in was originally just windows.

01:12:12One of the big spins in this space was...

01:12:14What's the door?

01:12:15There was no access.

01:12:16No.

01:12:17And it's got to be impact.

01:12:18You know, we're on the beach.

01:12:18So hurricane impact glass.

01:12:20Yeah.

01:12:20Which raised the price a little bit.

01:12:22Yeah.

01:12:23But I feel like we gained some natural light and then we gained access to the outdoor patio.

01:12:27I think that's money very well spent.

01:12:30Very, very well spent.

01:12:33I like that they made art.

01:12:35It's wallpaper, but I say it's an art installation.

01:12:38I love the ceiling height.

01:12:40This is definitely coastal modern feel.

01:12:44Leaning more towards the modern aesthetic, which I absolutely love.

01:12:48It does feel more modern than the previous space that we looked at.

01:12:52Ah.

01:12:52I do like...

01:12:53I like it up.

01:12:54I do like this.

01:12:56It makes the space feel elevated for a fireplace room.

01:12:59The fireplace was here already and they just upgraded.

01:13:03Fireplace was here, but not functional.

01:13:04So they had to replace.

01:13:06Okay.

01:13:07And upgrade because it was very, very dated.

01:13:09Looking at the actual finish work, everything looks good.

01:13:13Well, there's some caulking right here.

01:13:15A little bit.

01:13:16These built-ins on the side, they put those in for sure.

01:13:20Yeah, I like the floating shelves.

01:13:20I would have loved to see if they could find a stain and stain these the same color as the

01:13:25floor.

01:13:25It would have been nice to kind of tie that together.

01:13:28We did save money because we actually kept the original floors.

01:13:32These are original.

01:13:34That was a smart move.

01:13:35It's like, you know, we could replace them, but why?

01:13:38I would have never thought that those were original.

01:13:40All right, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have told you all that.

01:13:41We didn't save money on the floors.

01:13:43No, they look good.

01:13:45Yep.

01:13:46I wish that there was, like, built-in seating, but with the HVAC, I can see how that would have

01:13:53caused issues.

01:13:53I mean, they still tried to put in some seats.

01:13:56They know that the main thing is how many people can you get in these houses?

01:14:01Heads and beds.

01:14:02Heads and beds.

01:14:03I do wish I think I saw another couch right here.

01:14:06And then I think those flipped over here.

01:14:08Okay, so that's an easy fix.

01:14:10Yeah.

01:14:11So a little flippy flip.

01:14:12Just a little flippy flip.

01:14:13I really like this guy.

01:14:15Yeah, reclaim wood here.

01:14:16We had to get real thrifty with how we spent the money.

01:14:19I love the reclaims feel of it, but I do think it is pretty chunky.

01:14:24I know you said that this took up a big chunk of the budget, and I get it.

01:14:29But aside from that, there aren't, like, a lot of other features in here.

01:14:34There is a couple more little things I want to show you.

01:14:37Let's see it.

01:14:38All right, follow me.

01:14:39Taking it to the next level.

01:14:41Let's go.

01:14:45A little coastal flare with the camera.

01:14:47Okay.

01:14:48We originally wanted to open all this up, but structurally didn't make sense.

01:14:51Offensive.

01:14:52So give a little bit more light.

01:14:54Give it a little bit of character.

01:14:55It's definitely interesting.

01:14:57Unexpected, and I dig it.

01:14:58I don't know about this.

01:15:00I'm like, is this cold?

01:15:01I don't know how safe it is.

01:15:03That's the only thing.

01:15:04Okay, all right.

01:15:05Fair enough.

01:15:05So this area was just a blank landing.

01:15:08The kitchenette, it services the three bedrooms up here.

01:15:12It's almost like the house technically almost has two kitchens now.

01:15:15She's looking at me because we love this idea.

01:15:19We're staying in a vacation rental right now.

01:15:21It has similar layout, and we kept having to go downstairs to get water.

01:15:27And Komohai's like, I'm not into these stairs.

01:15:30Yeah.

01:15:31But this totally solves that problem.

01:15:33The space for it is, like, uncanny.

01:15:36It's almost like this was meant to be here.

01:15:39Hits every checkbox.

01:15:41Yeah, 100%.

01:15:43And, you know, obviously it was kind of a money spend.

01:15:45Yeah.

01:15:46But I think it adds so much value, and it's so practical for what we literally just experienced

01:15:51last night.

01:15:52I can't wait to see what they do in the actual kitchen.

01:15:54I mean, I think we saw enough.

01:15:57Okay, you guys.

01:15:58Enjoy.

01:15:58There's a couple bottles of wine in there.

01:16:00I know you've got a long day today.

01:16:02Look, I'm holding the handrail.

01:16:04Yes, you are.

01:16:09Okay.

01:16:11Living rooms.

01:16:12First, we had ties.

01:16:14Because of the amount of thought and attention to detail you can tell they put into that

01:16:20space, it adds so much value.

01:16:22They're the only ones that put wood beams in.

01:16:25Wood treatment everywhere.

01:16:26They put brick on the fireplace.

01:16:28They painted the trim around the doors.

01:16:30The only downside that I can see to that space is it is very specific.

01:16:36I think you called it grandma.

01:16:39Vintage.

01:16:39I said vintage.

01:16:41Then we have Sarah's.

01:16:44The fact that they threw up a wall and added another bedroom.

01:16:48They created a bedroom out of nothing.

01:16:50And the living room actually still felt a decent size.

01:16:56It read more bland than I think that they were hoping for.

01:17:00A pop of color on the wall would have really brought their aesthetic more to life.

01:17:06Last, we had Mika's.

01:17:09I think the only thing I would have liked to see in that space is maybe the wallpaper running

01:17:14along the whole wall.

01:17:17Yeah.

01:17:17That one felt the most modern, I would say.

01:17:21Definitely.

01:17:21But I don't feel like anything captivated me to the point where I'm just like, wow.

01:17:26I think we both know who the winner is.

01:17:32So we're in agreement?

01:17:33We are in agreement.

01:17:34Let's go tell them.

01:17:35Okay.

01:17:40Here come the judges!

01:17:43Yes!

01:17:46Let the judging commence.

01:17:48You all came out swinging, taking the living room in three unique directions for this week's

01:17:53build.

01:17:54You all should be super proud, but only one team, unfortunately, can walk away with this

01:17:59win.

01:18:01Sydney and Michelle, when I walked in, it felt cozy, it felt inviting, it felt livable.

01:18:08I literally told him, I can tell women were in here working their magic.

01:18:14The attention to detail, you guys were the only ones who threw beams up on the ceiling.

01:18:20I could tell that you were going for Coastal Cottage, and I immediately got it.

01:18:25I loved it.

01:18:27The only thing I would say is it could potentially be too specific.

01:18:32So if somebody was looking for a more modern space, that one wouldn't be the space for them.

01:18:40Yeah.

01:18:40Right.

01:18:41Angelina and Steven, your speed on the Surrey bikes earned you the right to pick your house.

01:18:47Are you happy with your choice?

01:18:49Oh, yeah.

01:18:50Oh, yeah.

01:18:51Walking into your guys' space, I immediately felt calm.

01:18:55I love that you committed to your choices of your design aesthetics, but one thing I would

01:19:02have loved to see is your art and that color spread more on the walls.

01:19:07I think it would have actually elevated your space even more.

01:19:11That being said, you did make a major change.

01:19:15You split the living room and added another bedroom.

01:19:20Wow.

01:19:21Like, what?

01:19:22To the room.

01:19:22Like, that's a seasoned move.

01:19:25Kudos to you guys on that.

01:19:27Yeah.

01:19:28Anna and Josiah, walking into your space, it felt the most modern.

01:19:34I love that I saw quartz on your fireplace.

01:19:37I love the floating shelves.

01:19:39I love that you tried to go bold with the wallpaper and making it an art installation.

01:19:45I may or may not have done bamboo wallpaper myself.

01:19:49The bamboo wallpaper.

01:19:49You were trying to be creative and that really shone through.

01:19:53With that said, I would have loved to see your artistic expression taken to another level.

01:20:00Yeah.

01:20:00Maybe that whole wall, having wallpaper, and then trying to maximize seating in that area.

01:20:07It did feel a little bit small in the space.

01:20:12But when I got to the top of your guys' stairs to see a wet bar installed there, I was

01:20:18like, what?

01:20:20On the level with all the bedrooms?

01:20:22I mean, genius.

01:20:24Genius.

01:20:25Yeah.

01:20:26Yeah, you could use a drink by the time you get to the top of the stairs.

01:20:29Yeah.

01:20:32Honestly, you guys, if these first spaces are any indication of how the rest of the competition is going to

01:20:37go, it's going to be a wild ride.

01:20:40Seriously.

01:20:42We feel really good about our living room.

01:20:44We think the design turned out really pretty, and then, of course, we have our kitchenette on the landing, so

01:20:48I think that maybe should give us the win.

01:20:51You all started off really strong this week.

01:20:54It has been a wild ride.

01:20:56We have some stiff competition.

01:20:57To feel like we could walk away with this without any doubts in our minds, I think that's a little

01:21:05naive.

01:21:06But only one team can walk away with the $3,000 cash prize.

01:21:12Giving money away!

01:21:14Everybody's being really, really creative, but I'm proud of the room that we created.

01:21:18I think we thought outside the box.

01:21:19So the winner of this week's space is...

01:21:35You all started off really strong this week, but only one team can walk away with the $3,000 cash

01:21:44prize.

01:21:45So the winner of this week's space is...

01:21:57Angelina!

01:22:00Congratulations!

01:22:02Congratulations!

01:22:04You got it?

01:22:05Yes!

01:22:07We won!

01:22:08We got this!

01:22:09Yes!

01:22:10So exciting!

01:22:10Undefeated!

01:22:11I'm your friend!

01:22:12I'm your friend!

01:22:13I'm your friend!

01:22:14This win is very important because we've been going through our own situations, you know,

01:22:19from sleeping on other people's couches.

01:22:20So can I...

01:22:23It's okay.

01:22:24I'm okay.

01:22:28So this money would literally help us be, you know, more comfortable.

01:22:33This opportunity.

01:22:34One in a million.

01:22:35Yes.

01:22:35You don't get this opportunity.

01:22:37We need to keep this winning momentum going.

01:22:39Hey!

01:22:40Come on!

01:22:41Pretty disappointing.

01:22:43We were very proud of the living room.

01:22:45Well, you know what they say.

01:22:47When one becomes two, it's better.

01:22:50Oh.

01:22:51Do they say that?

01:22:52I think so.

01:22:52I don't know.

01:22:53I made that up.

01:22:54Let me try.

01:22:55We just go have a drink at our house later.

01:22:57Steven and Angelina did give us that house.

01:23:00We did the best we could with the house we got.

01:23:02Yep.

01:23:02Oh!

01:23:04I got it.

01:23:06Oh.

01:23:06Congratulations, you guys.

01:23:08You've won the living room battle.

01:23:10The amount of value you added by adding a bedroom is undeniable.

01:23:15That could be the difference in a family booking the space or not booking the space.

01:23:22We could not give you the win for that.

01:23:26It was a lot of work.

01:23:27I know.

01:23:28We had a lot of back and forth, but we did it.

01:23:31But you didn't think we flew all the way from Hawaii to give you $3,000, did you?

01:23:37This is a brand new battle and we're upping the ante.

01:23:42What?

01:23:43Now for the twist.

01:23:47Angelina and Steven, you have a very important decision to make.

01:23:52This is a game of high risk and high reward.

01:23:56You can walk away with your $3,000 cash prize now or...

01:24:01We'll double the amount and add it to the grand prize.

01:24:05Bringing the overall total to $56,000.

01:24:09That's a tough call.

01:24:11Oh my gosh.

01:24:13How confident are you that you have the skills to win this whole thing?

01:24:17Take a moment to discuss with your teammate.

01:24:20You guys have to...

01:24:20This is a you.

01:24:21This is not a mentor.

01:24:22I'm stepping away from this one.

01:24:25It's your decision.

01:24:26Are you willing to bet on yourselves?

01:24:34It's too early in the game to do that, so I'm gonna take that $3,000 right now.

01:24:38I think that's a smart move.

01:24:41I really do.

01:24:42Yeah.

01:24:42All right.

01:24:43Come and get your $3,000 cash prize.

01:24:45The pot stays at $50,000.

01:24:49Woo!

01:24:50Woo!

01:24:50Oh my God!

01:24:51You did it!

01:24:51You did it right?

01:24:53Yeah.

01:24:53Good job.

01:24:54Can you a dollar?

01:24:56Steven, can I take your jacket for you?

01:24:58Yeah.

01:24:58One day that'll be us, guys.

01:25:00One day?

01:25:00One day.

01:25:02Pretty disappointing.

01:25:03I feel like the living room we were very proud of.

01:25:06Yeah.

01:25:06It was a good room.

01:25:07Yeah.

01:25:08I'm losing my spark.

01:25:10I'm losing my...

01:25:11Is this a first round?

01:25:17Everyone is here to prove something.

01:25:19I was just like, we do all this prep work and we can't even put it in place.

01:25:22They want to win.

01:25:23This is a lot of money on the line.

01:25:25But they also have something to prove to themselves, to prove to their families.

01:25:30Oh, the walls are caving in.

01:25:32I'm just like, I don't know.

01:25:34I need a hug!

01:25:36What's going on?

01:25:37What happened?

01:25:38Bad morning.

01:25:39It could get worse or it could get better.

01:25:42Let me be part of the team.

01:25:44I'm stressed.

01:25:45I think what you're doing is fantastic.

01:25:48My creativity has been challenged.

01:25:51But I'm still confident that we got this.

01:25:55Am I providing marriage counseling too here in this mentorship role?
