Episode synopsis
Sustainability expert Michael Mobbs was welcomed into the warehouse to introduce the next Off-Site Challenge: creating a site office made from recycled materials at Kimbriki tip. Black (Grey, Khaki and Orange Teams) and Gold Teams (Navy Blue, Sky Blue and Green Teams) each had five hours to create their offices, which would be judged on eco friendliness, craftsmanship and beauty. The Gold Team, led by Luke, hit an immediate snag with the positioning of their roof, while Michael expressed concern that the sun would turn the Black Team’s effort into a sauna. Taking measures to avoid that scenario, the Blacks did enough to secure the challenge, winning the Grey, Khaki and Orange Team’s each a solar panel package worth $10,000 for their houses.
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.
