The 48 Hour Challenge Episodio 1

26 Renovators contestants – the Jacks and Jills of all trades – arrived at the warehouse to be greeted by host Brendan Moar and judges Robyn Holt, Peter Ho and Barry Du Bois. Introduced to six houses from hell, the hopefuls learnt that the first selection would be awarded to the best performer of the first Challenge – which then arrived on the back of a truck. The contestants were given 48 hours to renovate the dilapidated house in question, inside and out. Phil adopted the role of project manager, dividing the troops into their areas of expertise and setting them to work. The house was completed on time, and spectacularly, with the judges giving special mentions to Keenan, Michael, Peter and Natalia. Joanne was judged to have contributed the most overall, giving her first pick of the houses, as she choose the Sixties Suburban.

The Hammer Challenge Episodio 2

A new day in the warehouse began with a Basic Skills Challenge – the contestants taking it in turns to hammer in nails. Those bending their nails were eliminated from the first stage of the Challenge, and subsequently whoever missed the nail and hit the wood was also sent to the sidelines. The winners went through to the second round, which involved picking a chair from the storeroom and restoring it. Bob, Christie and Luke made the final round, the White Room Challenge, in which they had to renovate a room and base it around their chair. Luke’s striking monochromatic room secured him the overall win, and he selected the keys to the Inner-City Terrace.

Off-Site Challenge Episodio 3

The contestants competed in an Off-Site Challenge, all except for Joanne and Luke, who already held house keys. Split into two Teams – Black and Gold – each worked on renovating houses that carried the same purchase price. Whichever Team was able to add the most value to their house in a day would win their captain (Kathy for the Blacks, Jason H for the Golds) pick of the keys to the remaining houses. The captain of the losing Team would sit out the following Challenge, and have to pick a fellow member to join them. Both Teams produced exceptional results, but the Golds managed to add $30,000 more value to their property. Jason H chose the keys to the Weatherboard, while Kathy selected Bob to join her on the sidelines for the next Challenge.

Car Parts Challenge Episodio 4

With another house key up for grabs, the action kicked off with a White Room ‘Car Wars’ Challenge. Teams of three were required to renovate a room based around a car obtained from the wrecker’s yard, incorporating as much of the car into their design as possible. The ideas all showed immense creativity, but it was the Formula One-inspired executive suite produced by Peter, Chris, Lisa, Laura, Tina, Christie and Samantha that won the judges' vote, sending them through to the Basic Skills Challenge. The first round was wallpapering, with Peter, Chris and Lisa the standout performers. The final round saw the trio painting walls, which had to be completed to the judges’ satisfaction. It was a closely fought battle, but Peter narrowly took the win, and selected the keys to the Half-Done House.

Progress Inspection Episodio 30

Judgement Day began with the Sky Blue Team realising that if the back wall of The Inner City Terrace wasn’t properly supported during the demo it risked bringing that and adjoining walls crashing down. Over at The Fibro Cottage better weather finally allowed pool excavation to be completed, allowing the Navy Blue Team to forge ahead with its extension. After checking on progress at The Sixties Suburban, Brendan doubted that the Khaki Team was maximising the outdoor space. The judges praised work over at The Shop and the Grey Team for its meticulous planning. They weren’t nearly so impressed with The Weatherboard House, however, sceptical that the Green Team could keep to its budget. At the warehouse the Sky Blue Team took the outright Judgement Day win, while the Greens were left facing an Elimination Challenge.

Panic Room - Courtyards Episodio 31

Arriving for its first ever Elimination Challenge, the Greens faced a Panic Room. Given three hours to transform courtyards from hell, each contestant picked an extra recruit to help them with the task. Jason H created a very functional area; Melissa an exotic courtyard with green walls and a hero chair focal point; and Keenan a beautiful textured space closed off by plants and featuring a central deck. Deciding a loser was difficult, but deciding that his space felt more interior than exterior the judges sent Jason home, while Keenan’s “practically faultless” courtyard won him the keys to The Weatherboard House as its new head renovator.

Challenge - Feature Light Episodio 32

For the week’s Off-Site Challenge each team had six hours to create a feature light to display in the Victoria Room, following the theme of British Raj. Lighting designer Marc Pascal introduced the challenge and served as guest judge. Each team had a specific core material to work with, producing some amazing creations, but it was the Khaki Team’s beaded chandelier that truly blew the judges away, winning them a Working Bee. The judges declared that the core material of glass wasn’t prominent enough in the Green Team’s light, and the Orange Team’s fabric offering didn’t have enough depth, sending both through to face another Stress Test.

Stress Test - Oldest to Newest and a Ceiling Rose Episodio 33

The Orange and Green Teams arrived for their Stress Test, which took place over two rounds. The first round required them to put a selection of chairs from various decades into chronological order. With both teams correctly guessing the first few, it was the Orange Team that ultimately slipped up first, sending Peter and Bob to face-off in a ceiling painting challenge. The rest of the contestants, meanwhile, got stuck into the Working Bee over at The Sixties Suburban. In the second round of the Stress Test Peter was both faster and neater than Bob, winning him safe passage and eliminating his teammate.

The winner of the challenge would receive $10,000 of LG white goods. The contestants created some of the most spectacular rooms seen yet, but it was the splendour of Peter’s Victorian room that won the day, its architect graciously splitting the prize with his helpers the Sky Blue Team.

Progress Inspection Episodio 36

The teams raced to complete as much work as they could before Judgement Day began. Excavation hit a snag at The Inner City Terrace, but the issue was thankfully overcome with minimal delay. Timber frames finally arrived and were erected in record time at The Fibro Cottage. Progress was steady at The Shop and The Weatherboard House, while Baz was concerned that after repeat warnings the damp problem still hadn’t been fully rectified at The Half-Done House. At the warehouse the judges revealed that the winning team would receive two tradies over two days, as well as power over the competition. By next Judgement Day all teams had to have one room completed and fully furnished, with the winning team getting to pick which room. The judges gave the nod to the Khaki Team, who selected the bedroom, much to Peter’s dismay. The Sky Blue Team were judged to be lagging behind and would face elimination.

Panic Room - Summer Theme Episodio 37

Members of the Sky Blue Team entered their Panic Rooms to find them empty, save a hero wall featuring a summer beach scene. They then had 60 minutes to use furniture from the Freedom Summer Range to create a summer themed room that complemented the feature wall. The results truly captured the spirit of summer, with Kathy’s room judged to be the standout. The judges loved Sam’s choice of colour, but with her decking only partially covering the floor felt that the room was confused between an indoor/outdoor space, resulting in her elimination.

Challenge - Bath House Episodio 38

The Off-Site Challenge was to create an exotic design for the exclusive Pool Bar at The Ivy. The space was divided into two halves, with the Black Team given a Roman Bathhouse theme and the Golds Japanese Bathhouse. They had six hours to transform their spaces. The competition was intense, with Suzanne clashing with Christie while gathering props. Communication on the Gold Team suffered a breakdown, with Christie having to take the team aside to regroup. The detail of their Japanese effort most impressed guest judge Justin Hemmes, however, with Christie winning a Working Bee for The Shop. Black Team members Luke, Kathy, Jason, Peter, Nathan and Suzanne would all face elimination.

The second task for the week in Queensland was at Rocklea State School, with the contestants breaking off into teams and each having to create an outdoor area. The Gold Team got first choice of theme, picking a learning centre to build, while the Black Team had to create a BBQ area.

The contestants arrived in Brisbane’s South Bank for their latest Queensland challenge: to craft street furniture in their teams. The teams had five hours to complete the task, with award-winning designer Alex Lotersztain mentoring them. The teams threw themselves into the task with some spectacular designs, although the time-consuming process of working the metal was a tough pill for many to swallow. Natalia’s design, inspired by South Bank’s nature, won the challenge for The Shop, who selected Samantha to rejoin the competition on Peter’s team.

Queensland Flood Aid - Darra Episodio 44

For their final Queensland challenge the contestants faced their biggest task yet: to transform a flood-ravaged community centre in Darra. The renovators were divided into Blacks and Golds, with the former working on the outdoor area and the latter the indoor. Both teams achieved miraculous results given their tight timeframe, with Brendan giving them an extra half hour to ensure they could finish the job. The Darra residents voted for their favourite space, with the Blacks winning the majority. Keenan was chosen as the most valuable renovator, winning The Weatherboard House a Working Bee. For the members of the Gold Team it was back to the warehouse to face elimination.

Stress Test - Vertical Garden Episodio 45

While the safe contestants tried their best to conduct a Working Bee at The Weatherboard House despite a torrential downpour, the other arrived at the warehouse for their Stress Test. Each had three hours to create a vertical garden, which would be judged on design, style, craftsmanship and plant use. Jarrad, Michael and Luke were solid throughout, Peter overcame early nerves to produce an impressive arrangement, Jason’s wall suffered from overcrowding while Kathy’s wall was far too sparse to create much of an impression. This left the judges with no choice but to send her home.

Challenge - Express Yourself Episodio 47

The contestants walked into a White Room Challenge like never before: rather than having a set theme and choosing furniture from the warehouse, the teams were asked to express themselves with an original design, sent out to buy their furniture and fittings and provided with $24,000 per team to spend. They had 24 hours to get the job done. The renovators all relished being given free reign and a huge budget, but it was the Navy Blue Team’s bedroom/bathroom space that left the judges reeling, winning them the challenge and $20,000 worth of Freedom furniture for the Fibro Cottage.

Back at the warehouse the contestants discovered that the teams responsible for the best rooms would go on to compete against each other in a reward challenge, while one standout would win the power to select which room needed finishing by next Judgement Day. The Half-Done House, Sixties Suburban and Inner City Terrace were the three best, with the Sky Blue Team taking the outright win and picking the bathroom.

Panic Room - Bathroom Nightmare Episodio 49

The best performers from Judgement Day arrived for their Panic Room Challenge, with an incredible prize on the line: a landscaping package worth $20,000. Entering their Panic Rooms, they discovered it was a bathroom they would need to completely transform. Nathan immediately got stuck in, despite suffering from flu and being a one man team. As usual Peter set himself a massive target and almost bit off more than he could chew. He and Sam managed to pull through, however, finishing a phenomenal space and giving them a clear win and the all-important prize.

Challenge - Recycled Site Office Episodio 50

Sustainability expert Michael Mobbs was welcomed into the warehouse to introduce the next Off-Site Challenge: creating a site office made from recycled materials at Kimbriki tip. Black (Grey, Khaki and Orange Teams) and Gold Teams (Navy Blue, Sky Blue and Green Teams) each had five hours to create their offices, which would be judged on eco friendliness, craftsmanship and beauty. The Gold Team, led by Luke, hit an immediate snag with the positioning of their roof, while Michael expressed concern that the sun would turn the Black Team’s effort into a sauna. Taking measures to avoid that scenario, the Blacks did enough to secure the challenge, winning the Grey, Khaki and Orange Team’s each a solar panel package worth $10,000 for their houses.

Challenge - Wall Styling Episodio 51

Brendan dropped the bombshell that a member of the Grey Team team would have to move over to The Sixties Suburban. Representatives from each team would compete in a wall styling challenge, with the winning house getting to choose who would join Nathan. Before the teams could dress their walls they had to repair them, causing headaches for Jason and Christie especially, who found life a lot easier once she realised her drill had been working in reverse. Despite technical hitches Chrisite’s end result suitably impressed the judges, giving her the win. August then took the strategic decision to move Natalia, leaving her in tears.

Progress Inspection - Bathroom Reveal Episodio 54

The teams raced to complete their bathrooms ahead of the Judgement Day inspection. With a massive cash prize of $30,000 on the line for the best bathroom, there was more incentive than ever to blow the judges away. Putting in an incredible overnight effort to get their bathroom finished, Nathan and Natalia’s toil paid off as they won the challenge, while the second-placed Inner City Terrace took away a $20,000 prize. In third place The Half-Done House scooped a desperately needed $15,000. The judges were so impressed with all the bathrooms, however, that the remaining teams were still awarded $10,000 each for their troubles. As the winners, the Khaki Team got to decide the first pair to go head-to-head, choosing The Shop’s Christie and August.

Head to Head - The Shop Episodio 55

August and Christie left The Shop for their head-to-head, knowing that one of them wouldn’t be coming back. At the warehouse Brendan revealed the challenge: creating a piece of furniture that would fit perfectly at their property. Having first choice of materials, August selected to construct his with timber, leaving Christie to use glass. With first choice of contestants to help him, August picked Michael, Jarrad, Jason, Luke and Sam, while Christie was assisted by Peter, Mel, Keenan, Natalia and Nathan. Arriving at the timber yard to begin building, August’s clear vision helped him forge confidently ahead. Christie struggled to realise her initial ideas given the time-sapping process of moulding glass. Both managed to complete stylish pieces – August a cabinet, Christie a table – but the former proved a better size for The Shop, sending its maker into the Top 6.

Challenge - Wedding Reception Episodio 56

The contestants were introduced to soon-to-be-wed Jason and Millicent, who set them the next Offsite Challenge: decorate the venue for their wedding reception the following day. The Gold Team was given an ‘indoor forest’ theme, while the Golds had ‘industrial.’ Natalia and Peter project-managed the Gold Team’s effort and Mel the Blacks. Given six hours to complete their spaces, the happy couple would then decide their favourite, with each member of the winning team receiving $2000 to put towards their renovations. Though the Golds looked more assured early on, a late surge from the Blacks saw them complete a stunning space which better fit the couple’s wishes. Mel and her winning troops then got to decide who faced off in the second head-to-head, choosing Peter and Sam.

Head to Head - The Half Done House Episodio 57

Peter and Sam squared off in the second Head-to-Head, Peter having to complete the living/dining space at The Half-Done House while Sam worked on the backyard. Sam’s nerves were stretched thin by teammate Jason taking longer gathering materials at the warehouse than she’d anticipated, and the narrow walkway into the yard made transporting plants and materials difficult. Peter suffered no such setbacks, producing a room stunning in both design and craftsmanship. Though the judges commended Sam for her effort, it wasn’t enough to stop Peter winning a well-deserved place in the Top 6.

Facing tight deadlines the contestants were in panic mode trying to get all the work completed, with the $10,000 prize for the winners raising the stakes even higher.

Jason and Luke arrived at the warehouse for the third Head-to-Head: a White Room Challenge. They had four hours to transform their spaces into stunning kitchens, with Luke getting first choice of theme and selecting 'city', leaving Jason to go with 'country.' Luke selected Keenan, Jarrad and Michael for his team, with Jason being assisted by Mel, Natalia and Nathan. Both Sky Blue Team members had their issues, with the tight deadline impacting the level of craftmanship. Luke's team was called up on hanging overhead cabinets upside down, while Peter felt that Jason's effort suffered from some functional problems.

Head to Head - Weatherboard House Episodio 62

Brendan arrived at The Weatherboard House to give some words of encouragement to Keenan and Mel ahead of their Head-to-Head. Their challenge was to complete the property’s second and third bedrooms, with Keenan choosing the latter, wanting the opportunity to showcase his workmanship by tackling the bigger job. Keenan picked Nathan and Peter to help him, leaving Mel to be assisted by Natalia and Jarrad. Both rooms came together nicely, although with time ticking away Mel suffered from the windows needing planing to get them to fit, while Keenan appreciated the nightmare of constructing flat-pack without the luxury of time. Ultimately Mel’s styling and use of space proved the deciding factor, as she caused one of the biggest upsets of the series by displacing Keenan as The Weatherbaord House's head renovator.

The Head-to-Heads were fought at a frantic pace, with Natalia’s styling skills giving her the edge over Nathan and doing enough in the judges’ eyes to send her into the Top 6. With too much to do in the time available an emotional Jarrad struggled, and despite him giving his all it wasn’t enough to claim the keys from Michael.

The Finale - Auction Night Episodio 66

Auction day arrived, with the Top 6 holding their collective breath as the auctions got underway. First up was The Weatherboard House, with Mel and the rest of the Green Team watching anxiously. The poor state of the property market was immediately apparent, with bidding getting off to a worryingly slow start. With the price creeping up steadily, however, The Weatherboard managed to reach $575,000, a profit of $1145. Next up was The Shop, with August pained to see his pride and joy fail to make a profit as the hammer fell at $700,000. Peter and Natalia were given equally little to celebrate, with The Half-Done House going for $770,000 and The Sixties Suburban for $730,000, some way short of their respective profit points. Thankfully it was a different story for Luke and The Inner-City Terrace, which enjoyed by far the best action of the night up to then by selling for $925,000 – a tidy $25,732 profit. The stage was set for a battle of David and Goliath, with the only house that could topple the competition’s biggest being its smallest. Incredibly The Fibro Cottage exceeded expectations, reaching $440,000 and a profit of $68,012, winning Michael the crown of Australia’s best renovator and $100,000 in prize money.
