Red Team: The Design Plan

Sisters Anicka and Shauna won the first master bedroom challenge, giving them $5,000 of extra renovation budget. This gives them a cushion to choose higher-end fixtures and finishes in both bathrooms.

Red Team: The Budget

The red team budgeted $10,000 towards both bathrooms, but spent a total of $11,904.28, leaving them $22,436.98 for the remaining rooms.

Red Team: Master Bathroom, Before

This run-down bathroom was a buyer's nightmare, with a dirty, dated tub and tiles and outdated fixtures.

Red Team: Master Bathroom, After

Anicka and Shauna chose a neutral brown color palette that complements the adjacent master bedroom, and added a touch of functional glam with a sparkling tiled shower niche.

Red Team: Powder Room, Before

Debris, banged-up drywall and nightmarish conditions greeted the red team upon arrival to the condo.

The sisters cleaned up the bathroom by adding a new neutral paint color that coordinates with the upstairs color scheme. Repaired drywall, new flooring and an updated sink and toilet ensure it's both stylish and functional.

Silver Team: The Design Plan

Couple Curtis and Amanda discuss the "beachy spa" design plan for the master bathroom with host Josh Temple.

Silver Team: Upstairs Bathroom, Before

Dirty and unlivable, this bathroom was ready for a change.

Silver Team: Upstairs Bathroom, After

This room's grimy surfaces looked ready to condemn, but Curtis and Amanda were able to reface the original tub and toilet to save renovation dollars. Intricate custom tile work in the shower adds beachy style, while the wooden shelf gives the bathroom a rustic feel.

As judge Nicole Curtis tours the remodeled spaces in Unit B, the Silver Team recounts their costs this week: $10,560.66. This leaves them $22,342.56 for remaining reno projects.

Blue Team: The Design Plan

After trying to do all the work on the master bedroom themselves, carpenters Brian and Craig decide to save time by hiring more subcontractors in the bathroom. They'll create The Block's only walk-in shower, with a tiled enclosure and sleek glass doors.

Removing the tub in favor of a walk-in shower gives the room a spacious, bachelor-friendly look.

Blue Team: Powder Room, Before

Craig and Brian replaced the room's dated vanity and toilet, but there's barely enough room for both new pieces on the short wall.

Blue Team: The Budget

Craig and Brian spent more than any other team on their bathroom project: $15, 636.40 total.

Black Team: The Design Plan

John and Whitney plan to stand out? Move the master bathroom wall 18 inches into the guest room to gain enough space for double vanities.

Black Team: Master Bathroom, Before

This bathroom was dirty, cramped and ready for a renovation.

Black Team: Master Bathroom, After

The only bathroom with double vanities, this bright, modern bathroom now feels spacious. White tiles, a soft gray color palette and chrome accessories contribute to its airy feel.

Black Team: Powder Room, Before

Prior to the renovation, the Black Team's powder room was completely missing a wall.

A soft gray and blue palette and an updated vanity and accessories add much-needed charm to this now-functional space.

Black Team: The Budget

Here with judge Nicole Curtis, John and Whitney spent $14,450.47, leaving them a budget of $19,480.05 for the rest of the house.

And the Winner Is...

The Black Team! Judge Nicole Curtis thought the wall bump-out, double vanities and clean, modern design scheme added the most value. John and Whitney gain an advantage next week when they'll get David Bromstad's design services for one day.

Winner's Circle

Congratulations, John and Whitney! Here, they celebrate their first victory with Nicole and Josh.
