The inevitable learning curve, Pennington notes, is yet another reason this season stands out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cThe reason this particular season is so insane is because you&#8217;re working with a stranger you&#8217;ve never worked with before,\u201d explains Pennington. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cAnybody who&#8217;s ever had to work with anyone before, whether it be a spouse or a friend, that&#8217;s difficult enough. But a stranger you&#8217;ve just met, even though they may be a celebrity, you&#8217;re like, \u2018Is this gonna work?\u2019 You&#8217;re sort of watching these four different train wrecks in design.

Over the course of just seven weeks, teams are tasked with completely overhauling their three-bedroom, four-bathroom, approximately 5,000 square-foot house using a generous $275,000 budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Each week guest judges including <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/celebrity-real-estate\/lisa-vanderpump-plans-on-living-in-las-vegas-following-5m-home-purchase\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/celebrity-real-estate\/lisa-vanderpump-plans-on-living-in-las-vegas-following-5m-home-purchase\/\">Lisa Vanderpump<\/a><\/strong> and &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/reality-tv\/property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-home-disaster-worst\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/reality-tv\/property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-home-disaster-worst\/\">Property Brothers<\/a>&#8221; <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/reality-tv\/property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-hgtv-emotional-show\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/reality-tv\/property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-hgtv-emotional-show\/\">Drew and Jonathan Scott<\/a><\/strong> will consider the overall design, creativity, and of course, added value to determine a winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">In a new twist, the team that comes out on top each week will have the choice of $3,000 to put toward the next renovation challenge or add $1,000 to the final appraisal price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">The updated prize option could be crucial to the final outcome, as Pennington details the difference between the appraised value of the first and second place homes in almost every previous season has been less than $10,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">As such, the actual selling price of the single-story homes, which each have a starting market value of $1.9 million before the \u201cRock the Block\u201d renovations, has become a competition in and of itself that Pennington and his castmates care very much about\u2014in some ways even more so than the actual show championship prize, which is having the team\u2019s names cemented on a street sign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cOh, God, yes,\u201d Pennington admits. \u201cBecause I&#8217;m friends with all the designers that have been on these shows, I&#8217;m the first one to get hit up, like, \u2018Guess whose home sold first?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cSometimes it&#8217;s spot on to what the Realtors\u00ae voted on, and sometimes it&#8217;s one house off, but it&#8217;s always pretty close to what exactly the realtors judged on,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cIn a real estate market, the people who live out there are gonna know what kitchen layout is gonna sell better, which amenities, which things in the backyard are gonna sell more. There&#8217;s a lot that goes into making sure you put in what is going to raise that value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">With the competition taking place in a sprawling desert neighborhood in north Las Vegas, contestants had ample room to incorporate over-the-top added amenities such as RV garages, private courtyards, and multigenerational suites, and they were granted full permission to play with the glamorous, sexy, and dramatic design aesthetic Sin City is known for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cThe visual stimulation and inspiration that these teams got from being there really showed up in the rooms and it&#8217;s just awesome,\u201d reports Pennington.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Over the course of just seven weeks, the teams are tasked with completely overhauling four identical three-bedroom, four-bathroom, approximately 5,000 square-foot homes in North Las Vegas using a generous $275,000 budget.<\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">HGTV<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Contestants played with the glamorous, sexy, and dramatic design aesthetic Sin City is known for.<\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">HGTV<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Pennington points to metallics, textures, and &#8220;anything shiny&#8221; as elements that are representative of the Las Vegas design aesthetic.<\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">HGTV<\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cWith Vegas, it&#8217;s metallics.

I mean, you could go way over the top, you know? And I think that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about. You&#8217;ve got this super swank, modern lounge vibe that you could go with, but you could also go super classic\u2014everything from Cosmopolitan to Caesar&#8217;s Palace is possible. I think because Vegas is such an amazing palate, it\u2019s also an amazing show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Whichever Vegas-inspired decor vibe the contestants rolled the dice with, Pennington says the teams who focused on their home\u2019s first impression played their cards right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of wow them when they walk in the front door,\u201d he explains. \u201cAnybody who&#8217;s a potential buyer, whatever they see when they walk in the front door is going to determine, honestly, I think it&#8217;s 75% of the sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cIf you get a feeling by walking in the door, whether it&#8217;s the foyer, whether it&#8217;s the living room, or whether it&#8217;s you seeing the kitchen to the right, that is going to determine whether you&#8217;re going back to see it again or if it&#8217;s going to top the last place you just saw.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cThat&#8217;s what this show does. It is that wow factor of when you walk into a room that can immediately tell you, \u2018Oh, this one&#8217;s gonna win.\u2019 Until you see the next room. And then you&#8217;re like, \u2018Oh my god, that one&#8217;s gonna win.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Pennington himself has applied the advice to include a wow factor at one of his personal homes.

It feels like you&#8217;re in Europe.
