Episode synopsis
After saying farewell to Kelly, it was back to business as usual in The Renovators warehouse. Brendan introduced the next challenge – ‘Garden Mania’ – in which teams would select a garden theme at random and have five hours to transform a 6x6 metre patch of bare earth into a landscaped wonder. Guest judging the challenge was gardening legend Don Burke and award-winning landscape designer Daniel Baffsky. After a thorough assessment of the results the judges decided that the Orange Team’s Australian Costal Garden and the Grey Team’s Australian Dessert Garden were the standouts, giving the overall win and the Working Bee prize to the Greys. The Mediterranean Garden was considered the most lacking, leaving the Khaki Team facing an Elimination Challenge.
About The Renovators
The Renovators is an Australian competitive reality renovation game show that premiered on Network Ten on 24 July 2011. The basic premise consists of 26 contestants who initially compete to become the head renovator of six run-down houses in the suburbs of Sydney, with challenges and eliminations taking place whilst the renovations are in progress. The last remaining contestant responsible for the property that has made the most profit when sold at auction wins the series. Network Ten announced in August 2011 that it had commissioned a second season of the series, but indicated that it would modify the program's format in order to address poor ratings, but to date no second season has been produced.
