The Renovators is an Australian competitive reality renovation show that premiered on Network Ten on 24 July 2011. [1] The basic premise consists of 26 contestants who initially compete to become the head renovators of six run-down houses in the suburbs of Sydney, with challenges and eliminations taking place whilst the renovations are in progress. The last remaining contestant responsible for the property that has made the most profit when sold at auction wins the series. [2]

Contents

Network Ten announced in August 2011 that it had commissioned a second season of the series, but indicated that it would modify the program's format to address poor ratings. [3]

Contestants

There are 26 contestants in this season, competing initially as 26 individuals, then as 6 teams of 4.[ citation needed ]
