Episode synopsis
Brendan arrived at The Weatherboard House to give some words of encouragement to Keenan and Mel ahead of their Head-to-Head. Their challenge was to complete the property’s second and third bedrooms, with Keenan choosing the latter, wanting the opportunity to showcase his workmanship by tackling the bigger job. Keenan picked Nathan and Peter to help him, leaving Mel to be assisted by Natalia and Jarrad. Both rooms came together nicely, although with time ticking away Mel suffered from the windows needing planing to get them to fit, while Keenan appreciated the nightmare of constructing flat-pack without the luxury of time. Ultimately Mel’s styling and use of space proved the deciding factor, as she caused one of the biggest upsets of the series by displacing Keenan as The Weatherbaord House's head renovator.
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.
