## Competition details
### Phase 1: Interior Renovation

The six teams travel around the country to completely renovate each other's home. Every week, one team hands over their house to their opponents for a complete interior transformation. A set of rules from the owners are given to the teams known as the 'House rules' which need to be followed to gain high scores from the judges and the homeowner team.

#### Victoria: Bronik & Corrine

* Episodes 1 to 4
* Airdate — 5 to 10 May 2015
