Imagine having 1,500 square feet of walkout basement space to design to your heart's content. Would it be dedicated to family time, entertaining guests, or cultivating your physical and mental health? That was the big decision the four teams of HGTV designers had to make on this week's episode of "Rock the Block." Host Ty Pennington announces that the design duos will be tricking out the entire 1,500-square-foot lower level of their houses, and it's up to them to decide how to add as much style and appraised value to the space as possible. Creativity was at an all-time high and the designers turned out four impressive zones, but one team impressed judges Alison Victoria and Veronica Valencia the most and were crowned this week's winners.

When designing (or dreaming about) the ideal main suite of a home, the goal is to cultivate a space that is comfortable and functional. On this week's episode of "Rock the Block," all four teams passed this test with flying colors.

We're all in on season four of "Rock the Block," the home renovation competition that pits teams of HGTV stars against one another to build a house from scratch and add as much value to the property as possible.

It's "Rock the Block": luxury edition, and we couldn't be more excited to recap the season and watch the drama unfold. This week is technically kitchens week, but the designers are also tasked with renovating the dining room, pantry, and mudroom. On top of that, host Ty Pennington sends the HGTV stars on a hot air balloon design challenge that takes the competition to new heights. Jenny and Dave Marrs, stars of "Fixer to Fabulous," are brought in to judge the final designs and choose a winning team based on their decision to build not one but two kitchens.

We kick off this week's episode of "House Party" with a lively discussion about two buzzy topics in celebrity real estate news. The first: writer, director, and millennial antihero Lena Dunham's beautifully designed luxury tiny home that she built in her parents' backyard. The über successful Dunham could presumably live just about anywhere, but she opted to design and move into a one-and-a-half-bedroom "forever home" that's 10 feet from her parents' house. So we have to wonder if Dunham's latest real estate move is indicative of a larger trend for millennials and Gen Zers. Is designing and living in an accessory dwelling unit the next hot housing trend for young would-be homebuyers who don't mind sharing a yard with their family? Then, we chat about Trevor Noah's gorgeously designed New York City penthouse that hit the market for $13 million. With 3,600 square feet of space, 15-foot ceilings, and a private terrace with a plunge pool, could this be the best deal in the Big Apple? And we finish out the episode with a recap of "Selling the OC" episode 7. The penultimate episode of the season is full of petty drama and pretty homes, including a modern Mediterranean in Newport Beach, CA, and a renovated midcentury home in San Clemente, CA.

Over the years we've seen plenty of celebrities buy and sell second homes in the same city as their primary residence. Lebron James has simultaneously owned homes in the tony Los Angeles enclaves of Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Leonardo DiCaprio has a long history of doing real estate deals all over LA, from Malibu to Los Feliz. Now, Kylie Jenner is the latest A-lister to put her "spare" LA home up for sale. Jenner and her partner Travis Scott reportedly listed their Beverly Hills home for $22M. The curious part? They bought the home in 2018 for $13.4 million, far less than the current listing price. Does the 9,680-square-foot estate warrant such a high price tag? Will they get their price? We discuss it all on a new episode of "House Party" podcast. This week we also discuss Reese Witherspoon's latest real estate win: flipping (one of) her Nashville homes for $7.4 million. And we finish out the episode with a recap of "Selling the OC" episode six, titled "Co-listing Chaos." As the agents at The Oppenheim Group Newport Beach are dealing with the fallout of the "Kayla-Tyler drama," we are treated to an inside look at two gorgeous properties. The first is "Gio's house," a 3,817-square-foot home on Newport Bay, and the second is "Tyler's listing" in Dana Point, a mansion that was on the market for $10M.

We were pretty shocked to hear that Chip and Joanna Gaines had never won an Emmy for their juggernaut renovation show "Fixer Upper." Since the duo were never producers on that show, though, they were never eligible.But now, as owners of Magnolia Network and executive producers of "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home," Chip and Jo have the opportunity to win gold. Last week, we learned that "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home" was nominated for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. The Emmys are scheduled for September 12, and we'll be waiting with bated breath to see if they come out on top.In other reality TV news, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa announced they're having a baby.

Netflix's series “How To Build a Sex Room” doesn't require viewers to guess about its subject matter.

If you could design the living room in your ultimate beach house, what would it look like? That's the question the teams on "Battle on the Beach" had to ponder this week. Of course, being a part of this design competition means they have to stick to a strict budget and a limited timeline, but that doesn't mean they could slack off on putting unique, creative touches on their spaces. To impress the judges and take home the top prize this week, the teams had to add an architectural detail and antique nautical decor to their living room. Which team reigned supreme?

Summer is closer than ever, and on HGTV that means a return to the shore for another season of "Battle on the Beach." We thoroughly enjoyed the first season of this home renovation competition show, and we weren't alone. Last year, it was watched by more than 13 million viewers.

"Selling Sunset"—the Netflix reality TV show that focuses on luxury homes in Los Angeles and the relationships between the agents who sell them—is about 10% real estate and 90% drama. Some people wish the beautiful properties were highlighted more, but frankly, it's just not that kind of show. You might come to "Selling Sunset" for an up-close look at eight-figure mansions, but you stay for the not-so-controlled chaos that plays out among the agents on the showAfter tearing through Season 5, which started streaming a week ago, we were fascinated by how the agents of The Oppenheim Group handle bidding wars, deal with difficult clients, and negotiate closing cost credits.On this episode of "House Party," we dig into all the drama of the latest season.

Byrnes has been helming the show for the past two seasons, so he has plenty of first-hand knowledge about casting the show and all the hard work that actually goes in to creating a design competition.If you're craving more "Rock the Block" after you listen to our interview with Byrnes, check out our recap episodes from the past six weeks.Be sure to subscribe to “House Party” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you have access to new episodes right when they publish.

We're thrilled to welcome HGTV stars Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson to the pod! After following their progress on this season of "Rock the Block," we couldn't wait to chat about their most memorable renovations and how they delivered gorgeous designs week after week. Fun fact: Their infamous "trifecta power move" of expanding the entryway and connecting it to the garage was planned well before they arrived on the block.Enjoy our talk with Sherrod and Jackson and, if you want more "Rock the Block" content, be sure to check out our previous recaps of Season 3.Be sure to subscribe to “House Party” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you have access to new episodes right when they publish.

A pink house, an edible garden, and an oyster oven: These are all outdoor features we saw on this week's episode of "Rock the Block." The four teams of HGTV stars focused their efforts on the house exteriors, which they renovated to enhance the curb appeal and outdoor amenities. Host Ty Pennington also challenged the teams to build a dog-friendly feature, and while some of the designers had a ruff time pulling it off, one team proved it was best in show.Click the player above to hear our recap of Episode 5 of "Rock the Block."Be sure to subscribe to “House Party” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you have access to new episodes right when they publish.

This week on "Rock the Block," the teams renovate the finished room over the garage (a.k.a. the F.R.O.G.) and the loft space. While most teams went the route of building an in-law unit or accessory dwelling unit, one team went in an entirely different direction and made a design choice that likely helped them secure the win.On this episode of "House Party," we discuss the impact of guest judges (and high-end designers) Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, whether or not good design adds value to a home, Keith Bynum's savvy dumpster diving skills, and more.Be sure to subscribe to “House Party” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you have access to new episodes right when they publish.

For weeks, we've been watching Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas compete on the HGTV renovation show "Rock the Block." But they're no strangers to transforming houses—the couple started their home-flipping business in Colorado, and several years ago, they decided to head to Detroit to focus on renovating run-down properties. The Motor City is now their home and the location of their own HGTV show, "Bargain Block," which chronicles their efforts to revitalize neighborhoods one house at a time.We were thrilled to sit down with Bynum and Thomas to discuss their time on "Rock the Block," their favorite moments, and how they survived having their house judged by some of the most famous and skilled designers in the game. Be sure to subscribe to "House Party" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you have access to new episodes right when they publish.

Our recap of 'Rock the Block' continues as the HGTV stars design and construct the main bedroom and bathroom of their respective homes. They're also hit with their first design challenge of the season! Host Ty Pennington reveals five design materials that are synonymous with South Carolina: driftwood, sweet grass baskets, boat sails, reclaimed wood, and sea glass. Each team must choose one design material and incorporate it into their main suite.Which duo turns out a totally tranquil space and takes the top prize this week?

Hi friends! Our recap of "Rock the Block" continues, and this week the HGTV stars renovate the entry and living room in their respective houses. While all of the teams went big on this challenge, one team took it to another level and added square footage to their house. Talk about over-achievers! We were also excited to see Jasmine Roth of "Help, I Wrecked My House," as the guest judge this week. So, which team added the most value to their home and who missed the mark?

Last week we jumped head-first into the new season of "Rock the Block," and, to be quite honest, we're hooked! The home renovation competition gives four teams of HGTV stars mere weeks and a limited budget to design one of four identical homes in their signature style while also adding value to their property. The team who adds the most value wins.At this point in the show, it's anyone's game and we have zero idea which team is going to take the crown. Perhaps it'll be Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb, the twin sisters and stars of their own HGTV show, "Unsellable Houses". This week we had the opportunity to speak with them about the extensive preparation they did for the competition, how they infused their eclectic and earthy design aesthetic into their house, and what life was really like on the set of "Rock the Block". Click the player above to hear our chat with them, as well as the following topics:Michael Jordan's iconic IL mansion recently hit a not-so-fortunate milestone: it has been on the market for 10 years.

We love a good home renovation show—especially when that show pits HGTV stars against one another. So you can imagine how excited we are that the new season of "Rock the Block" has begun. For the next six weeks we'll watch some of our favorite design experts go head to head to maximize the value of four identical houses. Each team has $225,000 to customize their house in pursuit of the ultimate prize: bragging rights and a street named in their honor. Oh, and did we mention that Ty Pennington is hosting? Yeah, this is going to be fun.This week's episode starts out by introducing us to the four teams competing against each other: Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod from "Married to Real Estate", "Jenny and Dave Marrs from "Fixer to Fabulous", Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas from "Bargain Block", and Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis from "Unsellable Houses". The  first challenge is to make over the kitchen, dining area, and adjacent powder room. Each team is looking to add their signature style to their rooms while also increasing the appeal and overall value. And who stops by to judge their hard work? New Kids on the Block alums/current renovation aficionados Jonathan and Jordan Knight. The former boy band members are the first of a handful of celebrity guest judges that we'll see throughout the season.So, which team's kitchen, dining, and powder room had "the right stuff"?

Hi friends! After a few months off we're back with a brand new episode of "House Party". This week, we dive head first into a whale of a topic: first-time home buying and the things that buyers these days are willing to sacrifice just to win a house in a competitive market.

We've all probably entered a room at one time or another and felt a little off. Sometimes the hair on the back of your neck stands up. Sometimes your heart pounds a little faster. Either way, there's an energy there that we, mere mortals, can't seem to explain.That's why we were delighted to chat with Amy Bruni and Adam Berry, the paranormal investigators behind the shows "Kindred Spirits" and "Ghost Hunters."

It's October, so of course all things Halloween are taking over—and HGTV is no exception. The network recently debuted a new show called "House Haunters"—yes, you read that right—haunters, not hunters.Starring Anthony Anderson of "Black-ish" and his famous Mama Doris, "House Haunters" preys on unsuspecting homebuyers and real estate agents in this hidden camera prank show. Always silly, mostly stupid, but definitely entertaining, this show has very little to do with real estate—but we're here for it anyway.

Do you currently own your forever home? Would having that forever home renovated by HGTV stars Drew and Jonathan Scott make the experience that much cooler? When "Property Brothers: Forever Home" premiered in 2019, it filled a void in the Scott brothers' TV empire that many fans had been asking for: a "Property Brothers" spinoff for people who wanted to remodel the homes they already lived in. Like most other Scott brothers' joints, the franchise was a hit and continued on for four seasons.Part of the appeal of "Property Brothers: Forever Home" is that viewers can tune in with the expectation that the homeowners will be keeping these homes for the long haul, as opposed to turning around and selling them, capitalizing on the premium that the house was featured on TV. Perhaps it's this layer of authenticity that drew viewers to the series in the first place. (The first episode of "Property Brothers: Forever Home" was the highest-rated series premiere for HGTV since March 2017.)So you can only imagine our surprise when we learned that the house featured on the premiere episode—a modest yet charming three-bedroom, three-bathroom in Richmond, CA—recently went up for sale. Naturally, we had to recap the episode and dive deeper into the story on "House Party." Press play on the player above to listen to our no-holds-barred thoughts on the renovation, and why we think the homeowners decided to move on from their supposed forever home.Other topics we discuss:The rise of the "status" fridge trend: Is it here to stay or a fleeting design choice for the wealthy?The Weeknd's new $70 million Bel-Air mansionPierce Brosnan takes his $100 million Malibu home off the market after a year without any offers.Ellen DeGeneres buys another mansion.

When news that the Gorman House from "Fixer Upper" hit the market this week for $1.2 million we knew we had to recap the episode. The renovation was featured in season one, episode two, and the episode is a pretty iconic walk down memory lane because we are introduced to shiplap, Joanna's taste for frilly farmhouse decor (which, thankfully, has evolved), and Chip's antics.

Christina Haack (formerly Christina Anstead, formerly Christina el Moussa) is famous for her HGTV show "Christina on the Coast." But she's arguably even more famous for her ever-changing relationship statuses.Now, she's lit the internet aflame once again with something of a scandal—involving a photo of her, her brand new beau, and what looks suspiciously like a diamond sparkler on her left hand. The photo was quickly deleted and replaced, which left everyone wondering what the design guru might be trying to hide.Tune into this episode of "House Party" as we discuss the gossip—and get a first look at Haack's brand new $10 million mansion in Dana Point, CA.Also on this episode:Are Chip and Joanna Gaines moving to Montecito, CA? We review everything we know so far.We've finally reached the end of HGTV's "Battle on the Beach" and while we're so sad it's over, we were delighted to sit down with winners Kerry and David Kersh (Team Taniya Nayek) on the podcast this week.

We're thrilled to welcome executive producers Michael Matsumoto and Rob Zimmerman to the podcast this week! They've masterminded some of our favorite TV shows including "Fixer Upper" and "Battle on the Beach," so we couldn't wait to pick their brains about creating home renovation shows, working with some of our favorite HGTV stars (Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria,  Chip and Joanna Gaines), and what really happens behind the scenes.They also broke some pretty exciting news about "Battle on the Beach" (it's not over just yet!) and revealed some of the upcoming HGTV projects we can expect to see next year.

The Atlanta-based renovating duo were an absolute delight and offered up some fun anecdotes that we're pretty certain never aired.Tune in to hear their interview, our recap of Episode 5, and our prediction for who wins the whole shebang.
