It premiered July 23, 2006,[1] and has been renewed for a sixth season.[2]
Clive Pearse served as host for Seasons 1-4. Vern Yip (Deserving Design), Genevieve Gorder (Dear Genevieve), and Candice Olson, (Divine Design) currently serve as the show's three judges and were co-hosts for Season 5. Previous judges include Cynthia Rowley, a designer of fashion and home accessories, and Martha McCully, executive editor of the magazine InStyle as well as guest judge Mary Jo Wardle.
The contestants compete for their own design show on HGTV, which follows the format of The Next Food Network Star on sister channel Food Network. Each week, the judges decide whom to eliminate; and, in Seasons 1-4, Clive Pearse would tell the contestant(s) who had been eliminated, "Your show has been cancelled."
Each week, the remaining contestants participate in an interior design challenge such as designing a living space or creating a space in an empty room, using unconventional items from a pet store, mechanics store, or a discount store. The designers are given a specified amount of time and cash to create their designs, sometimes working alone and sometimes in teams.
