With American Idol, 24, Grey's Anatomy and the rest of the network shows winding down their seasons, what are you going to watch this summer? HGTV is hoping that high on your list will be their latest design show, HGTV's $250,000 Challenge...
In HGTV's latest addition to their roster of design shows, five families, who all live on the same leafy street in Sherman Oaks, work on upgrading their homes in the hopes of winning a $250,000 cash prize that will go towards paying off their mortgages. Hosted by Drew Lachey, each week a host from one of HGTV's popular shows: Kim Myles, David Bromstad, Genevieve Gorder, Carter Oosterhouse, Russ Hemmis, Carmen De La Paz, Steve Watson, Brooks Utley, and Andy Hampton, leads the families as they compete in weekly home improvement and design challenges. Focusing on one room at a time, the winning families move on to the next challenge and toward the ultimate goal of a newly renovated home, the approval of judges Kristan Cunningham and John Gidding and the $250,000. Sounds a lot like HGTV's version of Apartment Therapy's own home cure!
Click here to meet the families and get ready to cheer on your favorite starting May 31st at 10 pm. For more information, click here

Do you know if they're streaming full episodes online? If they are, I'll add this to my list of "things to watch" for the summer. :)
These studio-challenge designshows bother me...
It seems such a waste of paint, fabric, flooring, MDF, etc. - I wouldn't be the least surprised if all that stuff ends up in a landfill somewhere.
bepsf - i can't even express how much i agree with you!
aren't the challenges being done in their actual homes, not a studio. whatever they do will likely stay their as it is an improvement.
Sounds interesting. I'll watch it.
Conan.
Weeds.
This show looks fun. And I bet all of us would do it if WE had the chance. I hope that that single lady save her home. What a great ending that would be.
