Plot Synopsis

Hosted by contractor Scott McGillivray and home renovation expert Bryan Baeumler, RENOVATION RESORT SHOWDOWN is a vacation rental renovation competition series that features four duos who have just seven weeks and a $100,000 budget to turn four identical cabins into luxurious waterfront escapes in their own personal style. Scott, Bryan and rotating guest judges evaluate the revamped spaces based on quality, creativity and functionality to determine which team wins bragging rights and a $100,000 cash prize. To start the competition, the pairs will battle to impress Scott and Bryan with high-end design in the cabins' primary bedrooms, main floor bathrooms and front entryways. Armed with their signature banter and keen observations, Scott and Bryan will guide the duos as the showdown continues and they remodel the kitchens, living and dining rooms, lofts and exteriors. The four competing duos are: husband and wife Troy and Rotem of Toronto, Ontario; entrepreneurs Arnold and April of Chicago, Illinois; business partners Sean and Jena of Toronto, Ontario; and partners in life and work, Kyle and Savannah of Phoenix, Arizona. RENOVATION RESORT SHOWDOWN made its U.S. debut on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT on HGTV.
