- The four couples competing to win the home they will totally renovate are introduced. They are: best buddies Dom and Michael, who each have parental issues in wanting to compete and win; engaged Tyler and Courtney, who see winning the house a jump-start both to professional and personal aspirations; twenty year married Kim and Harry, who see winning the house for their children justification for being away from them for the first time in their lives for this competition; and mother and son Shelley and Alex, the former who sees the house as one less thing for Alex to worry about as he starts his contracting career. The couples size each other up, as well as the four tear down houses. They are given a quick challenge to decide which couple will be working on which house. After they learn that their first renovation will be the living room, for which they are given a seventy-two hour time frame to complete, and decide what they are going to do as the renovation of this specific space, they are thrown for a loop in learning that the house they chose may not be the one in which they will be working. The team whose living room renovation is deemed the best by the judges will win a trip to Tahiti. The teams believe that a combination of good workmanship and good design will win. However, as their freshman project, they will find that time management and how to deal with unexpected problems may ultimately be just as important.
- The next room to be renovated is the kitchen, with a seventy-two hours completion deadline. The winning couple will be awarded a trip to Quebec City and a stay at the luxurious ice hotel. Although each couple has an idea of what color scheme they will use in the room, they are dictated by their limited choice of cabinets, they only having one of four choices picking in order of winning a quick challenge. Most of the couples focus on the judges' stated want of bold design ideas. One couple may sacrifice workmanship for installation of those ideas. Another two couples decide that they will personalize their kitchens to their own situations, one which may be a little too outside the box. And what may be deemed as bold by a couple may not be seen the same by the judges, who may equate that boldness with not being functional.
- The next challenge the teams are given is transforming whatever the third bedroom in their house is into anything but a bedroom. They have twenty-four hours to complete the challenge, with the winner receiving a lifetime supply of 3M products and $5,000, that cash prize being the biggest incentive thus far as many of the couples are just starting out their lives. They have the added challenge of being given one Toronto street from which they must provide photographic evidence of inspiration for their room. Given Kensington Street, Alex and Shelley use the graffiti and hydro poles as inspiration for their office, which will be used for Alex's contracting business. Given Yonge Street, Courtney and Tyler use the bicycles and the construction cranes as accents for what will be their office. Given Bay Street, Dom and Michael use the hard skyline as inspiration for their electronic music (i.e. nightclub feel) room, complete with an urban nightscape mural painted by Michael. Given Queen Street West, Kim and Harry use the "granola kitsch" as inspiration for their combined kids' art center/adult meditation room. Not yet having won a challenge, Alex and Shelley and Courtney and Tyler believe they need to change tactics to come out on top, while Kim and Harry feel the need to overcome the last disaster of not completing their room by being more meticulous in their workmanship. All four teams run with the mantra of boldness in this room. Ultimately the judges choose what they consider to be the most complete room, functionally, technically and aesthetically, as the winner.
- With three projects completed and three different winners, Courtney and Tyler are feeling dejected as the only couple not only not yet having won but not having even cracked the top two in any project, while Shelley and Alex are feeling squarely in the lead not yet having been out of the top two. The next challenge, which they have forty-eight hours to complete with the winning couple being awarded a resort vacation to Cuba, is the master bedroom, about which the couples are excited if only because it means they will have a real bed to sleep on after this challenge is completed. The one item that each couple must include within the room is a feature wall created solely using tape and paint. Each couple decides to use that feature wall as the item on which they will spend the most time, and as the jumping off point of inspiration for their room. While staying true to what they like design-wise, each couple also has the judges in mind in what they think will impress them. Dom and Michael go two steps further in wooing one specific judge. In the evaluation, the judges ultimately must decide between a well designed and executed room that is slightly overproduced, to another extremely well designed and executed room with one large and thus glaring item, abhorrent to the judges.
- At the half way point in the competition, the four couples assess where they think they are in the pack. Their next challenge is the smallest room in the house, the bathroom. Despite its size, they will have seventy-two hours to complete the work, although two couples will not have to do the demolition of their room as the winners of a plumbing related challenge, the losing two couples who are tasked with that work while the two winning couples spend that time being pampered at a day spa. Regardless, some of the winners don't feel their victory was all positive. The winners of the room challenge itself win a double prize of a Dyson vacuum and a trip to Las Vegas. While most of the couples stay true to their vision, Dom and Michael believe they have to move away from the color scheme they have used in most of the other rooms thus far based on comments by the judges, that color, gray, which they would have chosen again if it was purely up to them, while Kim and Harry attempt the virtually impossible by trying to make their bathroom bigger, or at least design the space so that it feels bigger. During the process, a medical issue derails one couple, who are down in manpower by half for much of the competition. Beyond that issue, each couple has a major issue with their completed room, two who end up breaking major glass items integral to their design, one who miscalculated the amount of tile required to complete the room as envisioned, and another needing to cut corners due to biting off more than they could chew. The winners may be the couple who could overcome their issue the best.
- Going into the next challenge, each couple has a specific feeling largely based on the result of the last challenge: Tyler and Courtney, yet winless, question why they even entered the competition; Dom and Michael feel cheated again as they felt their bathroom was the best; and Harry and Kim and Shelley and Alex don't want to see the other couple win the next challenge as that win would place them squarely in the lead. That next challenge is the guest bedroom, which they have twenty-four hours to complete, the winner receiving a $5,000 gift certificate to the Brick. The one mandatory feature for the room is a feature ceiling done using paint, which each couple uses as the springboard for their design concept. The communal design den ends up being a place of potential conflict as each couple believes it is the locale where their design can be "stolen" by their competitors. The couples are given a one hour unexpected respite, which they ultimately believe a rejuvenating factor more than stealing from their already limited time. In the end, one couple is faulted for non-functionality, while another faulted for their theme being too gimmicky. Between the top two, the winner may be the couple who meets the purpose of the room the best.
- Courtney and Tyler feel like they're back in the game with their first win last week, while the other couples feel the judges picked the wrong winning house, especially Dom and Michael who felt they should have won. Their final challenge is the exterior of the house, which they have ninety-six hours to complete, with the winning couple being awarded an excursion to the Florida Everglades. Although they will choose the materials, the couples will not be doing the roofing due to the specialized nature of the job. During this competition, the couples are increasingly protective of their design choices, which may be more difficult to keep secret if only because of the exposed nature of the work being done. As the teams start removing the existing siding, Courtney and Tyler find that they have an extra layer of work, while Dom and Michael want to utilize what is already there. At the one day mark, Dave throws the teams for a loop when he announces that they must also complete front yard landscaping within the time allotted. As the work progresses, the teams start to assess what they are doing against the others. The final eighteen hours may prove to be difficult due to Mother Nature. And as judgment comes, one team provides some criticisms to the judges' comments which may factor into the final evaluation. All the teams are itching to win this competition not only because the exterior is the first thing that the voters will see, but Courtney and Tyler and Dom and Michael feel that a win would put them in step with the current leaders and Shelley and Alex and Kim and Harry feel that a win would put them squarely in the lead.
- Going into the last challenge, Dom and Michael continue to vent publicly about what they feel has not only been unfair criticisms by the judges week after week, but also incorrect judgments week after week where they believe they should have won. That last challenge, which the teams have forty-eight hours to complete, is to correct/change anything they want in their house before the final judgment, where the public will be invited into their homes. Colin and Justin will have one vote apiece, and the collective public will have the third vote, the team with the majority of votes winning their house and a plot of land on which to put it. Most of the teams decide to focus on the comments provided by the judges in the week to week competitions, primarily on those items which were deemed to be unfinished in that first go 'round. Kim and Harry have the longest list of items that they will be tackling which may be problematic if projects are in mid-stream by the deadline. Through the forty-eight hours, the couples reminisce about the eight weeks of the competition, especially memories from those rooms on which they are working. While Colin and Justin do one final walk through the houses and provide their comments to the cameras after those forty-eight hours, the public is also is invited in, each space having its fans and detractors. Dave, Colin and Justin, the four couples, and their family and friends then convene in front of the construction site for Dave to announce the winner of their home.
