The homes in this development feature a modern and uniform style, allowing for a consistent comparison of renovations among the competing teams. This newly developed area aligns with the show’s emphasis on increasing property value through design and construction choices. The setting boasts large backyards and stunning mountain views.
Previous seasons of Rock the Block have been filmed in states such as California, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Colorado. Season 6 marks the first time the series has been filmed in Utah.
The format and competing teams
Rock the Block season 6 features a format in which teams of HGTV stars renovate four identical homes over the course of seven episodes. Host Ty Pennington returns to guide the competition, with teams split between returning veterans and first-time participants.
Veteran teams include Alison Victoria from Windy City Rehab teamed up with Michel Smith Boyd from Luxe for Less, and Jonathan Knight from Farmhouse Fixer partnered with his brother, Jordan Knight. While Jordan is new to the competition, he has prior experience helping his brother on a different renovation project.
New teams joining the series are Chelsea and Cole DeBoer from Down Home Fab, along with Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama from Renovation Aloha. Both teams are making their debut and bring experience from other renovation-themed HGTV shows.
Each team has a budget of $250,000 and a six-week timeline to complete their home renovation. The team whose renovation adds the highest appraised value to their home is declared the winner. The winning team will have a street in the community named after them.
Judges and episode structure
Each episode of Rock the Block focuses on renovating a specific area of the home. The first episode highlights the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A new judging format is introduced this season, where judges assess the completed spaces without the teams present. Designers are revealed only after the evaluations are conducted.
Bobby Berk serves as the judge for the first episode. Subsequent episodes feature a panel of judges, including Mina Starsiak Hawk, Jasmine Roth, Ray and Eilyn Jimenez, Kim Myles, Lyndsay Lamb, Leslie Davis, and Jonathan Scott.
The specific areas assessed throughout the season encompass the first-floor living spaces, main suites, second-floor bonus rooms, multifunctional lower levels, and outdoor areas such as decks and backyards. Examples of lower-level renovations include spaces like a theater, cold plunge area, wine room, and pickleball court.
At the conclusion of the Rock the Block season, Jonathan Scott will assist in evaluating the completed homes, focusing on exteriors and guest rooms, and will also help announce the winning team. Additionally, a donation to No Kid Hungry will be made in honor of the winners, continuing the tradition established since season 1.
Rock the Block airs every Monday at 9 pm ET on HGTV. It can be streamed the next day on Max and Discovery+.
