Scott: Previously on
Renovation Resort.
Bryan: Wow!
Scott: This kitchen is pink!
In the kitchen challenge,
color and risk were on the menu.
April: Go big or go home.
Bryan: Minty.
Scott: Jena and Sean leveled up
by spending big.
This is an awning window?
Rotem and Troy
customized their build.
Rotem: I love it!
Bryan: Look at this.
Scott: What?!
To serve up their first win.
Christine: Rotem and Troy.
All: (cheering, clapping)
Rotem: It's happy tears.
Scott: Now all four teams are
neck-and-neck with one win each.
Troy: We've caught
up to the pack.
Scott: Who will manage their
stress and surge ahead?
Sean: Well give me--
Jena: You're driving me nuts!
Scott: Four pro
builder-designer teams
from across North America
are leaving everything behind
to show us what they've got.
Bryan: Their mission... to
transform these four cabins
inside and out, in only 7 weeks.
Scott: The team with
the best cabin
wins a game-changing prize
of $100,000.
Bryan: I'm Bryan Baeumler.
Scott: And I'm
Scott McGillivray.
Scott/Bryan: Welcome

Bryan: Hello, teams!
Teams: Hello!
Bryan: We've passed the midpoint
of the competition now.
You're deep into using up
your $100,000 budgets.
You've completed
all of the main floor,
including the primary
bedroom and main bathroom.
But there's still a lot
of work to do here.
Scott: You guys have been
working real hard,
and we know it has
not been easy.
Bryan: We have been
pretty tough judges,
critiquing your quality, functionality,
and pushing your creativity
to the limits.
But the end is in sight.
In just a few weeks,
we will determine which team
will be crowned
the Renovation Resort Champion.
Scott: And the
winner of $100,000!
Teams: (clapping)
- Yes!
Kyle: Absolutely!
Scott: Are you ready
for your next challenge?
Teams: Yes!
Scott: When your guests
are coming to vacation
in this property,
they will probably
be coming in large groups.
So this week's challenge
will be to complete
the two bedrooms and the
bathroom upstairs.
Jenna: Three rooms?!
Feels daunting.
Bryan: And as always,
all three of these spaces
must be completed
before the week is up.
Rotem: Another
three room challenge?
I'm super stressed.
Scott: Are you guys ready?
Teams: Yeah!
Kyle: Yes!
Scott: Let's do it.

Savannah: On this challenge, I
want to focus on heads in beds.
Here we are, bedroom... two.
Kyle: Going into challenge 5,
everyone has won a challenge.
It's still anybody's game.
So, we really need to buck up.
Eyes on the prize.
Savannah: Yeah.
In this bedroom,
I want it to feel
different than some of the
other spaces that we've done.
Kyle: All right.
I want to have a really fun
plaid wallpaper.
I also want to do a queen bed
on the bottom
and a twin bed over the top.
For the third bedroom, I want to
do a really playful wallpaper
with built-in bunk beds.
If we have a really cool
play-space at the top,
it will add extra value
for this room.
In the bathroom,
I want to go with a
fun patterned tile on the floor,
a basic subway tile with a
little bit of a pattern
on the shower walls
and some wallpaper.
Kyle: You're sure you can
handle all this wallpaper?
Savannah: You're gonna help me.
Kyle: Okay!
♪
Troy: So we have
our guest bedroom.
Rotem: Oh, this is great!
What I'd like to do here
is a wallpaper mural.
Maybe some blue tones to keep
the Mediterranean vibe going.
Troy: I like it.
Rotem: In the guest bedroom,
we'll do a relaxing wall mural
above the bed and decorative
wood beams on the ceiling.
In the kids bedroom,
we're going to build
a set of custom bunk beds
and have a stage in the corner
with a hanging chair.
In the bathroom,
we're going to do
a single vanity, pebble stone
tile floor,
and a gorgeous green tile
in our tub shower.
Troy: You're thinking green?
Rotem: Yeah!
Somewhat vintagy or nostalgic.
Winning this competition
is very important to us.
Being away from the kids,
it has to be worth it.
Troy: The amount of hard work
and sweat equity
we put into this cabin.
Rotem: Yeah!
Troy: We know we can't
underestimate anyone.
Now we're in that conversation,
we've actually won a challenge,
so it's time for us to
deliver on the next challenge.
♪
Arnold: Oh wow,
look at the ceiling!
April: Oh, it's so nice!
I love the height!
I know that we have to do
something really special
for these last three rooms,
so that we can get another win.
For this bedroom, I want to do
a nice 3D feature wall
and Twin beds,
and I want to open up
the closets
to make the spaces feel larger.
In the other bedroom,
I want to continue the
accent-wall theme
with some wooden slats,
a queen bed
and some of our signature
luxury touches.
Over in the bathroom, getting
rid of this window
is going to allow us to have
a huge double shower,
and we'll be able to add
a double sink-vanity
and marble tiles.
What's more luxe
than marble, right?
Arnold: Not much.
April: (laughs)
Arnold: No complaints
from me on that.
♪
Sean: Okay.
Jena: Oh, beautiful!
Sean: What do you want to see?
Jena: In this bedroom,
I'm thinking of a bed
with a custom headboard,
lime-washed walls,
and let's build a closet
that is both practical and cool.
For the other bedroom, let's do
a similar closet and two twins.
And let's go retro
with this wall.
Let's cover it with
cassette tapes!
For the upstairs bathroom,
let's lose that tub.
For the tiling pattern, let's go
horizontal in the shower,
but go vertical with the niche.
I also want to do
an extra long vanity
with industrial sinks
and black fixtures.
You ready for
another custom vanity?
Sean: I was born ready!
Jena: Let's go!
♪
Scott: While the four teams
are working away
on their second floor renos,
we're beginning to tackle
a lot of the
hardscaping on the resort.
Pavers are arriving
and concrete patio pads
are being poured
according to the team's
specifications.
Bryan: A lot of
stone being slung.
♪
Kyle: This is like
Groundhog's Day.
It's like, oh,
another room!
What are we doing
in here? Wallpaper!
Savannah: We have done wallpaper
throughout this entire cabin.
The pattern is a vintage plaid.
I want it to feel like
you're in an English pub.
Let's go!
Kyle: This girl loves wallpaper.
She'd wallpaper the shower.
She'd wallpaper the tub.
She'd wallpaper me!
It looks amazing!
It adds beautiful detail,
but it's not fun to install.
Stick your fingers in both ends.
Savannah: Go, love, just go!
I love the tediousness of it.
I like having to
line up all the angles.
Kyle: How do you want
the top to look?
Savannah: I think everyone,
as like a
pre-marriage counseling,
should do wallpaper together.
Go to the center
and then work your way up.
Kyle: I'm gonna go
from the top and--
Savannah: 'Cause I'm not even
close to matching down here!
Kyle: Trying to do
my job, darlin'.
Savannah: You're
not listening to me.
Kyle: No.
Scott: While the teams are
working on their upstairs rooms,
Bryan and I have a ton of
work to tackle as well,
so we're going to do
some pavers out front.
Bryan: All right, Scottie--
Scott: You wanna open it?
Bryan:--start bringing
some stone over.
Scott: May have to
open another pallet.
Bryan: Yeah, come on.
You do the heavy lifting.
Scott: (grunting with effort)
Bryan: I do really like
the wood detail.
It does look and feel natural.
Scott: This is
Techo Bloc Borealis.
It's super durable,
but it looks like wood.
It fits in with the
surroundings. I like it!
The herringbone
pattern was a good choice.
Bryan: Yeah, really good.
Scott: It looks good.
(booming thunder)
Bryan: Oh, here comes the rain.
Let's get this laid.
Scott: Oh, boy. Just in time.
Bryan: Come on Scotty,
one more!
Scott: In all the years that
we've been working together...
Bryan: ..this is the most amount
of work I've ever seen you do.
Scott: I'm inspired
by the energy
that the teams are
bringing to the competition.
Because you and I are now
the old generation.
Well, especially you.
Bryan: Yeah, I'm
not that far ahead.
Scott: Hm... but look at you.
You look further ahead.
Bryan: Who are you going to come
to for a hug when you're bald?
Scott: Not you!
Bryan: Huh?
Who are you gonna come to?

Sean: I've gotta
start making these
custom-built headboards.
I've never done upholstery
in my life.
Jena: For the upstairs bedrooms,
we are going to bring this
playful minimalism to life.
Okay. Playing with light,
playing with color.
This is a short-term rental.
Treat it like an experience
that they will remember.
Hopefully photograph it
and end up on social media.
Sean: Pin them together.
Jena: Okay.
Sean: Is this... the same color?
Why is it messing with me?
Have I used a different
piece of material?
The idea of me having to remove
this fabric and start again,
it's torturous.

Jena: That's a blend. Good!
Sean: Good?
Jena: Good.
Sean: Thank God for that!

Rotem: Feel this!
Feel the seam, Troy, feel it.
Troy: What seam?
This is seamless.
Rotem: Exactly.
I'm working on the wallpaper
mural in the guest bedroom.
Light blue, mountains...
You know, I don't do this
too often, wallpapering,
so it's a little bit nervous.
When I'm designing this cabin,
I'm sort of infusing
the elements
that I was brought up in
and bringing them here.
My first 12 years of
my life was in Israel,
surrounded by the sea.
Blue was the main
attraction to it for me.
It's a nice, calm and relaxing
space, right? It creates that.
Troy: Makes me want
to go to sleep.
Rotem: Exactly.
Growing up, my mom had a big
impact on me as a designer.
My mom has a design
background as well.
She used to design
window displays.
Every time she needed something
built for her design displays,
she would call my dad
and come and help her.
And, you know, they
were a little team,
just like Troy and I.
Troy: Now that you've
tackled the wallpaper,
I'm going to get
started on our beams.
Rotem: Okay.
Troy: All right?
♪
Arnold: Hey, April?
April: Yeah?
Arnold: You're absolutely
sure you want to do away
with this window?
April: One thousand percent!
It is so important
to take risks,
especially in the bathroom.
That's our biggest showpiece
for this challenge.
We have to do this
because there's no other way
that we're going
to get the double shower.
I think it's gonna be
so impactful.
Arnold: Point of no return.
April: Let's do it!
Eliminating a window to me,
that's a tough choice to make,
especially in the bathroom,
a space that's so small.
I trust April, so I think I'll
feel good about it in the end.
But right now, I don't know.
♪
Kyle: Okay,
so there's 36.
If you have an 8-inch mattress,
the top of this mattress
would sit here.
We are doing
two sets of bunk beds.
So four total in this room.
Savannah: Kyle, I'm gonna
be like, your second eyes
over here. Okay?
Kyle: Okay!
Savannah: When we
designed these bunk beds,
we had not only kids in mind,
we wanted to make
them big enough,
so that adults felt
really comfortable in it.
Kyle: These beds gonna
take a lot of sanding.
I'm more exhausted
physically and mentally
than I thought I would be.
The stakes are so elevated here.
It's the most
challenging thing mentally.
It's the most
challenging thing physically.
But we've got enough in the tank
to finish this thing strong.
Savannah: : How long are they?
Kyle: 75.
Savannah: Wait, what?!
You need to double check!
Kyle: How big's the mattress?
Savannah: 75 and-a-half.
Where we are at?
Kyle: Not where we need to be.
Savannah: Kyle, are you
being serious right now?

Oh!

Savannah: Oh!
Kyle: No! A mattress won't fit
in that frame.
Savannah: Kyle, that's 72!
You're way off! Three inches!
Kyle: I insisted on doing
four of these at the same time.
Just boom, boom, boom, same
cuts over and over and over.
We are in so much trouble.
I was building
the frames of the bed
to be the exact dimensions
of the mattresses
and not a few inches bigger,
like they should be.
I got so excited for what
it would be when it was done.
I didn't pay attention to
the detail while I was doing it.
We have to redo these!
♪
Scott: This week
I'm excited because
we have a big
challenge ahead of us.
The competitors are working
on their upstairs bedrooms
and their upstairs bathroom.
But I'm also a little upset.
Because I'm not going to
be here to do the check-in,
and I'm going to have
to leave it to Bryan.
Bryan: Well, this week
I'm a little excited
that you won't be here.
Scott: The good news is,
I'm gonna be back because--
Bryan: The bad news
is he will be back.
Scott: What?
That's the good news.
The good news is I will be back
to judge the final product.
Bryan: Okay.
Scott: But before that happens,
the teams still have a ton of
work to do
to finish the upstairs
of the cabins.
Rotem: So I got some
Sico paint from Rona.
This is the kids room, right?
So it's ultra-scrubable.
Troy: Oh, that's perfect.
Rotem: I got two colors.
I need you to help me choose.
Maybe in this room is to keep
the Mediterranean vibe
with the blue.
So I have the Norwegian Spruce
here, which is a darker blue.
And then we have the
Whalebone. Very light blue.
That's tough.
Troy: That is tough!
Rotem: Okay, one second.
Troy: I love this one.
Rotem: I actually really
love that. Whalebone it is.

Arnold: So there's a ton
of tile in this bathroom.
I got the floor down and now
we gotta work on these walls.

Bryan: April and Arnold?
April: Hi!
Bryan: Hello! It's only me.
Scott is off on another job
site today. How are things?
I mean, we're deep into
the competition now.
Everybody's getting tired.
Arnold: Yeah. April has
me removing windows
and marbling an entire bathroom.
Bryan: I noticed that.
April: We're having
double showerheads.
Bryan: How do you feel about not
having a window in the bathroom?
April: I feel good about it.
I mean, I feel like it was
a sacrifice worth having
Bryan: Okay.
to get a little bit
creative in here.
That's what you guys
are judging us on, right?
Bryan: Creativity.
April: Creativity. Yeah.
Bryan: Creativity, yeah!
Arnold: How else can you get
a double shower in
such a small space?
April: Right.
Bryan: Competition-wise,
who are you worried about?
April: We actually
try not to even--
Arnold: Not so much.
Bryan: Yeah,
April:--get involved in it.
Bryan: Sometimes it helps to
know what other people are doing
and sometimes it makes you
second-guess some decisions
you've already made.
April: Exactly.
So that's what I don't want.
Bryan: But you do have
a lot of work left to do.
Arnold: Yep. So, if you
don't, you don't mind.
Bryan: Nice to see you guys!
April: Thanks!
Arnold: You too!
Bryan: April and Arnold are
pulling out all the stops
in this bathroom,
and they pulled out the window.
So we now have a double-shower,
which I think is amazing.
They're in this to win it.

Jena: So now the floors are in.
Sean: Yes.
Jena: We're ready to

Arnold: What else could they
throw at us? 3 rooms already!
Teams, today's bonus build is
all about your future guests--
Kyle:--And their stuff. Come
up with a creative solution
for where luggage can be stored.
Jena: Builders,
let's test your creativity
and designers,
get ready to build!
Because in this bonus build,
you must switch roles
to make this item. Oh!
Bryan: Reversing roles
between builder and designer
should create a really
interesting dynamic.
Troy: So I have a great
idea for the bonus build,
that you're
gonna be building.
Rotem: Troy's taking advantage
of having the designer role
to show me how I
always manage him.
Bryan: I think that's going to
cause some additional stress.
Jena: There's too
much happening already.
We've got three rooms to do.
Bryan: This could cause tension
or this could cause more
appreciation for each other.
Only time will tell.
Sean: I'm going for something
pretty simple and easy.
I don't want to overcomplicate
it for Jena here,
so it's just going to be a
simple board on some casters
so you can roll it in and out
from underneath the bed.
Done!
Jena: Let's do it!
Troy: A simple shaker
or two on hinges.
We just lift it up,
suitcases go in.
Rotem: That's a really
good idea actually, Troy!
Troy: Rotem likes to push
the envelope with her design
and she thinks
everything can be done--
Rotem: Within minutes?
Troy:--at the drop of a hat.
Troy: Give her!
Rotem: No, I'm scared.
Troy: And you see now.
Come on, let's go!
Rotem: I don't
want to go too fast!
Troy: Quality takes time.
Rotem: This is the time
to divide and conquer.
Go do something in the
bathroom or something.
Arnold: So I'm thinking we
run a solid piece of wood
all the way across
the closet area.
But I'm also thinking about
using the butcher block,
the leftover butcher block that
we have from the rangehood.
I am excited about hopping
in the driver's seat a bit,
doing the design
for this bonus build.
Just point at stuff.
April: (laughs)
I want this! Do to that.
April: That is not
what I'm like at all.
I rarely make changes
to projects and
I don't boss anyone around!
89.
You have to measure...
and then you have to
measure again,
'cause you measure
twice and cut once!
It's 89 and one of
those little slashes.
Arnold: Which one?
April: It's 3/8's.
Savannah: Okay!
Kyle: Are you ready?
My design for this
bonus build is to utilize
the really tall ceilings
that we have to put our storage
high and away from
everything else.
Three shelves.
Savannah: Okay.
Kyle: And then the top of this
will be a storage unit,
just like a deck with a ladder
for people to store
their luggage.
Savannah: Oh my gosh, I'm
literally going to hate this.
I just know I'm going
to just... oh, my gosh!
Kyle: So here's where
our upper deck will start.
Savannah: I hate it.
I don't want to do it--
Kyle: Okay, here
will be a ladder.
So that is what I,
the designer, want.
Now, you, the contractor,
get to work.
Savannah: For the role reversal,
I am not nervous
about my skills.
The hardest part is
having to deal with Kyle
telling me what to do,
because I hate that.
Kyle: Why are you going
in there like that
when you can measure it
from the back forward?
Savannah: Because this
is what I like to do.
Kyle: Before you get down,
you've got to
measure the distance.
Savannah: I don't need you
judging me or standing--
is this what it feels like?
I just want him
to leave me alone.
I've got the rest.

interesting week
for the challenge.
Two bedrooms, a bathroom,
but also role-reversal.
Rotem: Right.
Bryan: So how's that going?
Rotem: For me, it's great.
I grew up on job
sites with my dad.
He taught me a lot,

Troy: We're married, Bryan.
Okay, we're married.
Rotem: Better!
Bryan: Oh, there you go!
Rotem: Better!!
Bryan: I feel like I
fixed something today!
All right, I'm gonna let
you guys get back to it.
Troy: Thanks, Bryan.
Bryan: Rotem and Troy are going
very custom for the bunk beds.
The risk with that is
the more custom you go,
the more time that's
going to take,
the less time you have
to take for the finishing
or for the rest
of the challenge.
Troy: I know you wanted
to do the beams in here.
Rotem: Yes?
Troy: But we're so
pressed for time.
What if we abandon
the beams in here?
Rotem: I really
did want the beams
on every slanted ceiling.
If it's time consuming,
then I'll abandon it.
Troy: It's time.
Like certain things,
like the finish
line is right there,
and we've got to get going.
Rotem: I know, this
is really stressful.
Arnold: Line it up.
April: For the bedrooms,
it's important for me
to have accent walls in each.
We're putting up wood slats.
Arnold: I want to
get things started
so that April can kind
of finish them up.
You need to get this
inside of that lip.
(nail g*n firing)
April: I'm feeling
very confident with the tools
and you know the little thing...
(tongue clucking)
I got this!
So I'm going to use
wood slats in one bedroom
and then I'm going to use
some 3D panels on the other.
Jena: By this point,
you know us.
Everything has to be custom.
Because otherwise,
what's the fun?
We've got a beautiful
custom cassette wall
and everything is going
to require time.
We don't have much
margin for error.
We're going big or
going home here.

Sean: Mm-hmm.
Bryan: How are we doing?
Sean: I've given
my design to Jena,
so we've got a game plan,
but we are drifting behind.
Bryan: Are you feeling
the stress, you guys?
Jena: Absolutely. I think
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
And I think we have
stretched our boundary here.
Bryan: We've thrown a lot at
them this week, and I think
that the stress and the pressure

Sean: We are tired.
But, you know, at this point

Sean: Yeah.
Jena: (laughs)
Tina Turner, let's go!
Bryan: Every-ting
gonna be all right!
Sean: Ooooh! That's my jam!
Jena: Yeaaaah! (clapping)
Bryan: Jena and Sean
are going a little retro
in their bedroom here,
so this is, to me,
a bit of a departure
from the rest of their design.
It's not finished yet.
I'm going to hold back
on any judgment
until I see it completed,
but it's an interesting concept.

Troy: The pace of these
challenges is breakneck speed.
We are tired, so a
little coffee and donut
will be the perfect solution
to keep us going.
These bunk beds you've tasked
me with are not the easiest.
Rotem: I know it
wasn't going to be easy,
but you're here
to show your capabilities.
Troy: I gotta keep
telling myself that.
You know, who do you think
our biggest competition is?
Rotem: I think
Savannah and Kyle.
And I have a feeling
that in this category,
they might be our
biggest competition.
Troy: We know we
can't worry about it.
Rotem: Right? We have to--
Troy: We just give it--
Rotem: Stay focused.
Troy: I think we gotta
get back to work.
Rotem: That was a nice break.
♪
Kyle: Because these
ceilings are so tall,
we're going to build a deck
on top of the bunk beds,
that's like a
play-space for kids.
Yes, there were a
few mistakes made
when we first started
this bunk bed build.
We gotta get these gaps
filled in the bed.
Savannah: We have to
get it right this time.
We cannot make
any more mistakes.

Bryan: Knock, knock.
Kyle: What's up?
Bryan: Look at this!
Kyle: What do you think?
Bryan: What if I told you I've
seen something very similar.
Kyle: Fine.
Savannah: I mean, but this?
Bryan: There'll be a ladder
up into a play area here?
Savannah: Yeah,
there'll be a...
and it's a full play area.
Kyle: These aren't
just bunk beds.
Bryan: Four beds?
Plus a play area.
Kyle: Correct.
Savannah: Yes, four beds.
Kyle: So even if someone else
is doing something similar,
the devil's in the details.
Bryan: How are you
doing, by the way?
There was an interesting twist.
Kyle: Very interesting twist.
Savannah: Bad twist, Bryan!
Bryan: The role reversal.
Kyle: The role reversal is fun.
Bryan: So your bonus build
was to create
somewhere to put your luggage.
Maybe she's getting a little bit
of her own medicine and
I think maybe Kyle is getting a
little bit of his as well.
Kyle: This is it.
This was my design!
Bryan: Oh, okay.
Savannah: I had
designed just a dresser
with some really pretty
artwork and stuff here.
So now we're just utilizing
it a little differently.
And this is what
he came up with.
Bryan: So clearly you guys have
a lot of work left to do.
Kyle: We've got
many hours left, yes.
Bryan: I should

Jena: Yep.
Sean: Is there any chance
that we can get more tapes here?
We're short cassettes.
We don't have enough

cassettes before for a wall.

Jena: We're calling it
the 'Breakup Mixtape'.

Arnold: Alright, where
do you want this TV?
April: 52 inches off the floor.
I first met Arnold on a
project that we were doing
for a mutual friend.
He was there to mount the TV.
Arnold: And 30 inches
off this wall?
April: To the side.
When I say he's meticulous,
he was almost annoying.
He was like, 'Where do you want
this exactly on the wall?
Do you want it here?
Do you want it here?
But how far over do you want
it this way? How many inches?
How many inches are we talking?'
I'm like, 'Man,
just put the TV up!'
As I've grown as a designer,
I've come to appreciate it more.
I love the fact that he takes
pride in everything that he does

be the best at it.

All the details have to hit.
There's a lot of pressure here.
Savannah: Go like, a couple of
inches up off the ceiling,

Like this much.
Does it surprise you
that I'm going to have
more wallpaper in this bathroom?
Kyle: No.
Savannah: Oh, this is
going to look beautiful.
My marriage can take it.
It's going to be worth it.
I just think that it's
a really fun pattern
that I think is going to
be easy for us to install.
It's a very busy pattern.
We're going to be fine.
Okay?
Kyle: Okay.
In marriage, you can either
be right or you can be happy.
Savannah: We're gonna have
to finesse the wallpaper.
Gentle touch.
Troy: It's incredible what
you can do out of a simple
two-by-four spruce.
Rotem: Next, we're going to cut
out that circle for our window.
This challenge is
right down to the wire.
The custom bunkbeds
took a bit of time.
This could fit perfectly here.
Troy: Well, maybe
you should tell me that

Rotem: I am really nervous
that we won't finish on time.
I think we have to give it
that little extra push.

Scott: It's the final day

Furniture and finishing touches

I want to sleep here too.
Jena: We're down to the last few
minutes in these three rooms.
There's still so much to do.
You do this. I don't want to
peel the paint off.
So with this bonus
build challenge,
look, we're never

Huge milestone!
Bryan: Big. Big!

Her five-year-old son Charlie,

Teams: (cheering)
Scott: But don't be fooled.
He's traveled more than most
adults and he's a tough critic.
Bryan: Natalie, what exactly
are you going to be looking for?
Natalie: Oh, that's a good one.
I'm going to be looking
for functionality,
the vibe of the room,
but also storage.
You don't want a messy space
when you're on vacation.
Scott: Are you guys ready
to check this out?
Natalie: You ready to go?
Charlie: Yeah!
Scott: Let's go!
Down the pathway.
Bryan:
We'll follow you, Charlie.
Scott: In the first challenge,
Rotem and Troy's
Mediterranean-inspired
primary bedroom and bathroom
were light and airy.
Let's see how they continued
that theme
in these upstairs rooms.
Okay. Two bedrooms
and a bathroom.
Oh, my--

Charlie: This is the
best day of my life!
Bryan: This is the best
day of your life?
Natalie: (laughing)
Bryan: They did mention
their idea here was to have
a bit of a playroom.
This could have been an extra
bed. For a rental property,
heads in beds is important.
Natalie: Mhm!
Bryan: They've built a trundle.
Natalie: Oh, okay!
I really like the trundle.
Charlie: There's one
there and one here.
Scott: What's in there?
Natalie: Oh, excellent!
Charlie: Oh, a suitcase.
Bryan: So for the bonus build
they had to do a role reversal.
So the designer
became the builder
and the builder
became the designer.
Natalie: Okay.
Bryan: So this was their
solution for additional storage.
Scott: I don't necessarily
love the hinge.
You might want to crack it
past the halfway point.
Natalie: Yeah.
Scott: What do you think?
Would you be excited to come
here and have a vacation?
Charlie: Yeah.
Bryan: Yeah. Alright.
Natalie: Okay, Charlie, can
you hang out in here for a bit?
We're going to go
see another room.
Charlie: Yeah!
Bryan: Okay, you play.
Natalie: Awesome!
Scott: Don't have
to tell him twice.
There's another bedroom
across the hall. Okay.
This one's a little more mature.
Natalie: Yes.
I love the exposed beams here.
It's beautiful.
Bryan: So those are faux beams.
Natalie: Oh! Ahhh, okay.
Bryan: And pulls in as well
from the main living area.
Natalie: Yeah.
Scott: This room looks great.
It's soft, it's peaceful.
Immediately your brain just
dials into vacation mode here.
Natalie: Yes! Exactly.
It's a little bit of a retreat.
Bryan: It's really tough
to pick anything apart in here.
Scott: Let's take a
look at the bathroom.
Bryan: Yeah.
Scott: This is the
upstairs bathroom.
Bryan: Great.
Scott: Whoa!

avocado feeling.
Scott: Yeah, I can see that.
Bryan: You know what?

Natalie: Oh, I like the
ladder as well. You know--
Scott: The towel ladder.
Natalie: A lot of
people tend to have
the toiletry bags
that hang now.
Bryan: Right.
Natalie: So it's
good to have somewhere
where you can actually hang it.
Bryan: Again, another
room with Rotem and Troy
where it's hard to pick
their quality of work apart.
It's a great bathroom.
Scott: Rotem and Troy's
custom builds
allowed them to spend just under
$12,000 this challenge,
leaving them with a healthy
remaining budget
for their cabin exterior.
It looks great,
but the question is,
is it enough to win
the challenge for them?
Bryan: We'll find out.
We've got more to see.
Savannah and Kyle are
hungry to win again,
having not won since their first
primary bedroom challenge,
Let's see if they've done enough
up here to bring it home.

Natalie: Mhm.
Bryan: ...but I think there's
definitely a few details on this
that are a little rough.
Scott: It feels a little bit
like an old-fashioned office.
The heavy colors.
Bryan: This, I feel
is uncharacteristic
for what we've seen
throughout the rest of
Savannah and Kyle's cabin.

Huge points here. It's
going to be hard to beat this.

Let's go!
Oh, hey!
Scott: Whoa!
Ah! They moved the shower
to the other side.
Bryan: Geometric action in here.
Scott: We got wallpaper.
Natalie: Mhm!
Scott: We got graphic
tiles on the floor.
Abstract tiles and an
interesting pattern
in the shower.
Natalie: Yeah!
Bryan: This feels a
little off-brand for them.
Natalie: It's a bit more muted
than the rest of the spaces.
Scott: I don't know.
I feel like it's on brand,
we're seeing
the signs on the door again.
I like the hardware behind you,
the towel rack, and it works.
I think it's fresh
for the bathroom.
The wallpaper is very graphic.
Bryan: For me, I think, Savannah
and Kyle have set the bar
so high for themselves.
This is nice, but I think
they missed the mark a little.
Scott: Savannah and Kyle were
hoping to keep costs down
with their upstairs rooms.
But Kyle's costly mistake
measuring the bunk beds
put their spend at over $14,000.
That leaves them with just under
$12 grand to finish their cabin.

lot of these properties,

Interesting that this is
two single beds in here.
Natalie: Or you could
push them together?

of a bonus build,
I don't see any added storage,
just this closet.

ran out of time.

a little shorter than others.

same headboard shelf

Amazing!
Arnold/April: Thank you.
Bryan: You know
what I didn't like?
The light bulb in the eye
when I walked into that bedroom.
Bit of a concern there.
Now, the bathroom.
Generally, I wouldn't suggest
getting rid of a window.
Bring in light,
bring in a little breeze.
However, the trade-off here
was that huge double shower.
Great install
on the tiles again.
That geometrics is really cool.
Nice work.
Arnold: Her idea. I thought
it was a big risk, but--
Scott: It's a big risk.

Natalie: Great
space for the kids.
I loved the storage
under the bed.
Scott: The raised platform,
the multiple heights
On the other side,
I thought it was a bunk bed,

top was a little high.
