House Rules Australia

In Perth, the first House Rules renovation is ready to roll. The future of Jemma and Ben's home now rests with a bunch of total strangers. The five other teams have only seven days to complete the renovation. The house has been divided into five work zones. Each team is allocated a zone which comes with a set budget they must work within.

The five teams have been given seven days to transform Jemma and Ben's Perth home. And with only four days and eight hours remaining, the teams arrive on site still reeling from yesterday's shock discovery. As they face an uphill battle to finish their zone, there are surprises around every corner.

Five teams of contestants were allocated just one week to completely transform their 1950s home. They have just two days left to get the job done. With the clock ticking, pressure is mounting. It's a mad scramble as teams rush to finish their zones.

There's just four hours to go in the Western Australian makeover and rooms are beginning to take shape. However, Amy and Sean from Queensland hit a major road block and team Tassie are in all sorts of strife. While the teams have been mired in renovation hell, homeowners Jemma and Ben have been laying low, far from all the madness. Now they're packing for the trip home.

The pair will be kept away from their home for seven days. When they return it will be completely transformed. The teams ranked highest and lowest from the first renovation find out their fate. And what lurks behind Jane and Plinio's door…will shock everyone.

In a rush to make up time…will one team push too far? With a shortage of cornice in Tasmania, it's first in best dressed. The competition goes into overdrive as everyone starts scrambling to get what they need. With the deadline looming, tempers start to flare. And an injury could force one team out of the competition.

With less than three days remaining to transform their zones before the big reveal to Tassie couple Jane and Plinio, the teams are up against it. Managing budgets has become as difficult as teams managing their time and everyone is feeling the pinch. Teams are divided even amongst themselves. As the competition reaches fevers pitch, everyone slides out of control.

As the competition reaches fevers pitch, everyone slides out of control.

They'll enjoy a seven-day break from renovating while their competitors attempt to translate their House Rules and deliver them the home they're dreaming of. With some teams appearing to ignore the House Rules, the boys' nervousness seems to be warranted.

Into the third renovation of the competition, the teams are really starting to step it up. But a turf war could push one team to breaking point. And another team receives some disturbing news from their supplier. Will it put their entire renovation in jeopardy

As the teams arrive for work, Leighton has turned up alone after an explosive argument with Carly last night. They might be away for the week, but homeowners Nick and Chris's presence is still felt through their House Rules. On site, teams are each putting their own interpretation of 'taking a risk'. But one team's risk taking becomes their worst nightmare.

It's been a nervous week for the young brothers, who've been concerned about the state of their house and in particular what styles the older teams might have introduced to their bachelor pad. But before they can inspect, the teams still have five hours to go on the clock. And one team needs every second - despite pulling an all-nighter they are seriously behind schedule.

He's been a big force in the competition thus far, but now it's Leighton's turn to sit back and try to relax as the teams tackle his precious sandstone house in Adelaide. Tradie Leighton and partner Carly have some very specific ideas on what they want. Leighton's critical eye and industry knowledge have a lot of teams worried about satisfying this hard-working pair.

Team WA runs into budget issues once again, while Michelle finds an invaluable way to save time shopping. Amazed she didn't think of it earlier, could it be her secret weapon to winning this week? And at the end of another gruelling work day, teams take time out to socialise as they party with the tent dwellers.

Team NSW is in trouble after building a wall in the wrong spot; while there's a battle brewing over tilers between Teams Queensland and Victoria. With one team monopolising all the tradies, will both actually finish their bathrooms on time?

With high expectations and industry knowledge, they all know tradie Leighton will be a hard marker and they need to shoot for perfection to get decent scores. After a sleepless night and with only five hours left on the clock, an emotional Steve struggles to get his mojo back. Amy and Sean see red when their walk-in-robe becomes a thoroughfare for teams installing ceiling insulation.

Their 1950s Queenslander needs a lot of love and attention and while Sean is sad to leave home Amy can't wait for the teams to breathe new life into their dreary abode. To help their competitors stay focused they have left inspiring quotes all over the walls.

Everyone is on edge. And the raised house is presenting plenty of traffic flow problems. Team Tassie is struggling with having their zone spread over two levels. While everyone else has finished demolition, they are still struggling with how to overcome a flood zone.

Build supervisor Chester shuts down the site while engineers carry out a safety inspection. With teams already behind schedule, the delay has many worried they won't finish their renovations this week. Meanwhile, teams are bickering all over the house: teams SA and WA are fighting over tilers; NSW and VIC disagree over a delivery of flooring; and Michelle is arguing with everyone over fans!

It's the final day of the Brisbane makeover and everyone is frantically trying to finish their zones ahead of Amy and Sean's inspection. The competition heats up a notch with teams sizing up each other's renos in a bid to impress the homeowners and judges.

Riddled with rats, ants, termites, a possum and asbestos, Michelle and Steve's1950's weatherboard house is a ticking time bomb.Build supervisor Chester shuts down the hazardous site and teams are evacuated as the asbestos is removed. Taking an entire day out of their schedule for the asbestos removal, the teams are way behind.

Everyone is strapped for time. Being a day behind schedule, the contestants are ruled by stress. Jane has a meltdown when reminded about her deadline and turns to painting to soothe her frayed nerves.Carly and Leighton finally work as a unified front and Chris seeks advice from the girls about what romantic means.

It's their toughest renovation yet with several teams showing signs they may fail to finish their zone on time. One team works late into the night, but still can't get started on their painting - leaving their zone drastically behind schedule. As the final hours draw nearer, teams are in a mad panic to finish.

It's the final day of the Sydney makeover and everyone is frantically trying to finish their zones ahead of Michelle and Steve's inspection. It's been the most challenging home renovation by far. With only two hours left on the clock, every team is struggling. With everyone massively behind schedule, will they complete their renovation before the buzzer sounds?
