Episode synopsis
August and Christie left The Shop for their head-to-head, knowing that one of them wouldn’t be coming back. At the warehouse Brendan revealed the challenge: creating a piece of furniture that would fit perfectly at their property. Having first choice of materials, August selected to construct his with timber, leaving Christie to use glass. With first choice of contestants to help him, August picked Michael, Jarrad, Jason, Luke and Sam, while Christie was assisted by Peter, Mel, Keenan, Natalia and Nathan. Arriving at the timber yard to begin building, August’s clear vision helped him forge confidently ahead. Christie struggled to realise her initial ideas given the time-sapping process of moulding glass. Both managed to complete stylish pieces – August a cabinet, Christie a table – but the former proved a better size for The Shop, sending its maker into the Top 6.
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.
