Teams of amateurs compete to turn dilapidated homes into dream abodes in this series, which begins with living room renovations.

Kitchen renovations must be completed in 72 hours.

The teams endure a sleepless night and flaring tempers when they are given just 24 hours to transform a spare bedroom into something completely different and totally creative.

The already exhausted designers are given their second 24-hour challenge in a row when they are told to completely redesign the master bedroom.

The teams pull out all the stops to impress the judges with their bathroom makeovers, but that leaves them with little time to completely execute their visions. Jonathan and Drew Scott appear as guest judges.

Only one team scores with the judges during a 24-hour second bedroom challenge that's marked by lots of fighting and little imagination.

The teams have four days to dramatically transform the exteriors of their homes, which proves quite the challenge due to their inexperience removing stucco and shingles and installing roofs, siding and windows.

A winner is named in the Season 1 finale after the teams are given 24 hours to correct their mistakes from previous challenges. Also: The finished homes are opened to the public and the judges to inspect.
