The brothers are back for a new season of Brother Vs. Brother as they go mano a mano to renovate two Las Vegas fixer uppers. The brothers' work will be judged by rotating celebrity guests, with brother JD serving as the master of ceremonies. This week's critics? Brandon and Jen Hatmaker of Your Big Family Renovation.
Drew's Game Plan
Drew's first task? Find the perfect home for a renovation. His must-haves: A single-story ranch style home close to the Las Vegas strip.
Drew Strikes a Pose
He found the house, now it's time for the demo. Here, Drew practices his dance moves while he plots his design plan.
Bring on the Judges
Judges Brandon and Jen Hatmaker drop by to see the stunning renovation. The catch? They don't know which brother designed this space.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: BEFORE
Beige tiles and lemon-colored walls distracted from this home's high ceilings and architectural details.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
This room is completely transformed from ceiling to floor, starting with a dramatic ring chandelier that adds Old Hollywood glamour to the room.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
Light gray wall colors and a painted ceiling open up the space and let furnishings take center stage.
DREW'S FIREPLACE: BEFORE
The basic brick fireplace didn't provide drama in this living room.
DREW'S FIREPLACE: AFTER
Drew covered the basic brick with textured quartz stacked stone.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
Metallic accessories reflect light around the room and add some sparkle to the room's neutral palette.
DREW'S ENTRYWAY: BEFORE
Before the renovation, this home's entryway featured a half-wall outfitted with spindles and two different types of dated flooring.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
With the wall gone, this room feels upon as soon as you set foot in the space.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
Artwork, chosen by host Drew Scott is pictured in the hallway of his newly renovated Las Vegas, Nevada home.
DREW'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
A designed vignette featuring modern bird artwork is tucked into the room's casual seating area.
Brotherly Tour Guide
Host JD Scott guides judges Brandon and Jen Hatmaker to the next home.
Jonathan's Game Plan
Jonathan's homebuying must-haves? A planned community with lots of amenities. His target audience for this renovation is a young family or first-time homebuyer.
Weight Lifting
Jonathan pauses for some chest presses as a member of the crew looks on.
JONATHAN'S LIVING ROOM: BEFORE
Before the renovation, this home was white on white on white.
JONATHAN'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
Stark and white, meet dark and cozy. Jonathan added rich colors on the wall and modern menswear furnishings to give this room a comfortable, livable elegance.
JONATHAN'S STAIRCASE, BEFORE
Another missed design opportunity, the dramatic staircase was anything but with the white-on-white palette.
The brushed steel banister on the stairway provides contrast against the light colored walls and brings attention to the room's soaring ceilings.
JONATHAN'S FIREPLACE: BEFORE
Before the renovation, the living room fireplace in this Las Vegas home was without a central focal point.
JONATHAN'S FIREPLACE: AFTER
Large stone tiles on the new fireplace surround stretch up to the ceiling.
JONATHAN'S FIREPLACE: BEFORE
As seen on Brother vs. Brother, the living room and fireplace in this Las Vegas home,
before the renovations by Jonathan Scott. (Before 8).
JONATHAN'S FIREPLACE: AFTER
Dramatic reclaimed wood shelves stretch from floor to ceiling, housing colorful accessories.
JONATHAN'S DINING AREA: BEFORE
As seen on Brother vs. Brother, the dining room in this Las Vegas home was bland and boring before the renovations by Jonathan Scott.
JONATHAN'S DINING AREA: AFTER
Jonathan stretched the masculine style and color palette into the adjacent dining area. An armillary-style chandelier adds style over the table.
JONATHAN'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
Floor-to-ceiling window treatments block harsh sunshine while still letting in filtered light.
JONATHAN'S LIVING ROOM: AFTER
A living room, designed by host Jonathan Scott is pictured in his newly renovated Las Vegas, Nevada home, as seen on Brother vs. Brother. (After)

The Moment of Truth
And the winner is....Jonathan! The judges loved the room's dramatic staircase, bookshelves and fireplace.
The Loser's Prize
Drew ended up on the wrong side of this bet! His loser's reward: Wear a fairy princess costume on the Las Vegas strip, and hand out fliers that reinforce Jonathan's winning charm.
It's All Your Fault
Drew (reluctantly) poses with this week's judges during the dare.
The Whole Gang's Here
Brothers Jonathan and JD were on hand to see Drew's public spectacle.
Lights, Camera, Fairy Princess
A camera operator catches all the action in this picture-perfect dare.
Fairy Princess Fans
Fans that are used to seeing Drew in his real estate agent suit did a double take when they saw his costume...then documented it, of course!
