The show is hosted by Survivor's season 24 winner Kim Wolfe and her husband Bryan.
Kim revealed she bought her first house with the prize money she won from the competition.
The reality TV star shared it was Bryan's idea for her to take on a home renovation career after they moved four times in eight years.
"My husband and I bought our first house [with the Survivor prize money], which was a 1940s home in need of total restoration. It was the first real construction project I worked on," she told HGTV.

"And so that was really kind of the birth of this as a career for me.
"For both shows, I had to learn how to read people and figure out who they really are.
"I had to quickly kind of come in and assess the family, assess what their needs are and try to figure out what's going to absolutely blow them away."
