This season of House Rules introduced six new teams. All teams are from different states in Australia 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. Phase 3: Gardens & Exteriors. The top 4 teams are challenged to transform the exteriors and gardens of each other's homes. Two teams are allocated to a home (that do not belong to them) and must renovate either the front or back yards, as well as improving the house exterior.
