My Kitchen Rules

House Rules is an Australian reality television series broadcast on the Seven Network. The series follows state-based teams of two who renovate each other's homes, with the team receiving the highest score winning an ultimate prize. [1] The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules .

Contents

House Rules premiered on 14 April 2013 and steadily gained viewers throughout its first season. The show's eighth season premiered on 6 April 2020. Seven did not renew the series for a ninth season at their annual upfronts in October 2020, [2] however suggested the show may return in future. [3]

In October 2021, during Seven’s annual upfronts, it was announced a spin-off series, titled Apartment Rules, would originally air in 2022, [4] [5] As of February 2024, no further information has been released about the series.

Format

Teams (mostly couples) from different states must complete rounds of renovations in homes and gardens in a competition to win an ultimate prize. All homes that belong to the contestants are transformed throughout the show. [6]

Format changes

In season 2, Jim Fogarty (judge of the garden rounds in season 1), did not return as Wendy Moore and Joe Snell took over the garden rounds judging. In season 5, two new judges were introduced, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Drew Heath, who both joined Wendy Moore as judges. Judge of seasons 1–4, Joe Snell, did not return. In season 7, Jamie Durie replaced Drew Heath as a new judge. In season 8, Jamie Durie replaced Joh Griggs as series host alongside a new co-host, Abbey Gelmi, Kyly Clarke, and Saul Myers joined Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen as new series judges.

For seasons 1–4, the ultimate prize was having their mortgage paid off. In season 5, the winning team received $200,000. [7] In season 6, the amount of prize money was decided by the first challenge during which the contestants renovated a house which was sold at auction. The $355,000 profit became the prize money. [8] In season 7, the winning contestants won $250,000. In season 8, the winning contestants won $100,000.

The Grand Finals of seasons 1-4, were televised live with the winners decided by a combination of the judges' scores and the viewers' vote. Since season 5, there has not been a Live Grand Final: the team that received highest score from the judges won the series.
