  • Flip Or Flop Vegas’
    DAZZLING HOME RENOVATIONS TAKE CENTER STAGE IN NEW HGTV SERIES ‘FLIP OR FLOP VEGAS’ New York [For Immediate Release—March 2, 2017] HGTV’s Flip or Flop phenomenon, which started with Tarek and Christina El Moussa flipping houses in Southern California, is expanding to include new duos and additional titles set in cities across the United States. The first new title in the franchise is Flip or Flop Vegas starring contractor and MMA fighter Bristol Marunde and his wife, real estate agent and designer Aubrey, as they showcase their home renovation and flipping skills. Premiering Thursday, April 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the series follows the network’s newest pair of house flippers as they snag some of Sin City’s most rundown homes and transform them into sparkling showstoppers. “In Vegas, the higher the risk—the greater the reward,” said Bristol. “Together, Aubrey and I are unstoppable. There’s no flipping project too hard for us to tackle.” During the series, Bristol and Aubrey scour auction sales and real estate sites to score dilapidated homes in dire need of a full overhaul. The couple put their business savvy to the test as they face abrasive desert challenges and tight budgets in order to complete total renovations that bring in top dollar. “We’ve successfully flipped more than 140 homes,” said Aubrey. “We manage every aspect of the flip and we’re willing to take on properties others won’t even touch.” Viewers can visit www.hgtv.com/FliporFlopVegas for a video sneak peek, photo gallery and more information about the hosts and can interact via social media using #FlipOrFlop.

  • Brother Vs. Brother: Jonathan Vs
    JONATHAN AND DREW SCOTT TAKE HOME RENO RIVALRY TO SAN FRANCISCO IN NEW SEASON OF HGTV’S ‘BROTHER VS. BROTHER: JONATHAN VS. DREW’ New York [March 19, 2018] Massive renovations, daunting dares and a battle to win the ultimate sibling rivalry are on the line as HGTV superstars Jonathan and Drew Scott return for a new season of Brother vs. Brother: Jonathan vs. Drew, premiering on Wednesday, May 23, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Set in the San Francisco suburbs, the new six-episode season of HGTV’s popular real estate and renovation competition series will be a hyper-test of the twins’ reno know-how. With just six weeks to buy, transform and sell two unique homes in the Bay Area’s hot real estate market, the brother who earns the highest net profit will claim victory. Each week, older brother JD will serve as the referee for the home renovation challenges, while guest stars from HGTV or DIY Network will evaluate and choose their favorite design. “I’m still basking in the glory of last season’s win,” said Drew. “Jonathan knows I can beat him again so he better bring his A game.” “I’m not going to lie – losing to Drew wasn’t fun,” said Jonathan. “This year’s competition is going to be more intense than ever and I’m definitely not letting him win again.” During the series, HGTV stars Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Bristol and Aubrey Marunde (Flip or Flop Vegas), Egypt Sherrod (Flipping Virgins), and Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), as well as DIY Network favorite Scott McGillivray (Buyers Bootcamp with Scott McGillivray) will decide which brother wins each weekly match.
