'Bachelor Mansion Takeover': Who Won, What the House Looks Like Now and More
HGTV is tapping 12 Bachelor alumni to overhaul the iconic Bachelor Mansion — in a classic competition showdown. We have all the details.
Update: April 6, 2026
After a fierce renovation battle between the Bachelor Mansion Takeover finalists — Noah Erb, Dean Bell, Sam McKinney and Tammy Ly — it was Noah who took the overall win.
“This truly was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life,” he said. “I really tested myself, I learned a lot about myself, I learned about my craft, I was tested and I did it.”
“I figured I’d come here and do well and maybe get caught in some drama,” Noah continued, “but I didn’t actually expect to actually lean into it as much as I did and, like, force myself to give more — and I didn’t expect to win!”
Update: January 2026
One of the most famous homes in television history will receive a long overdue makeover in HGTV’s newest design competition series Bachelor Mansion Takeover. The show premieres on HGTV Monday, March 2 at 8|7c.
Who Will Compete on Bachelor Mansion Takeover?
The six-episode series — hosted by Food Network personality, Bachelor host and ex-NFL player Jesse Palmer — will challenge fan-favorite Bachelor, Bachelorette, Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette alumni with expert renovation skills.
Competitors include Dean Bell, Jill Chin, Noah Erb, Allyshia Gupta, Tammy Ly, Sandra Mason, Sam McKinney, Brendan Morais, Courtney Robertson Preciado, Jeremy Simon, Christopher Stallworth and Joan Vassos.
These 12 alum will swap roses for paintbrushes and put their design and renovation skills to the test while transforming iconic Bachelor Mansion spaces — the bunk rooms, the rose room, the pool area, the mixer room, the terrace and the kitchen— in weekly elimation challenges.
Competitors will take bold design risks, form alliances and face shocking eliminations — all while being evaluated on their creativity and craftsmanship by the series’ judges Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron. Only one Bachelor alum will win bragging rights and a $100,000 cash prize.
“For the first time ever we’re pulling back the curtain and revealing the mansion as you’ve never seen it before,” says Jesse. “Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of The Bachelor franchise. They know this is not going to be easy. And the clock is ticking because this renovation has to be finished before a new season of The Bachelorette begins.”
What to Expect From Bachelor Mansion Takeover
During the series opener, competitors will test their knowledge in a renovation math challenge with immunity on the line. Then, they'll split into two teams to update the mansion’s tired bunk rooms. Tensions will rise as both teams quickly devise a plan to revamp their spaces. A fate card will prompt the first elimination before the design challenge is even complete.
Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown will arrive to assess the men’s Tuscany and Santorini-inspired bedrooms and the women’s Mediterranean-style sleeping sanctuary. Throughout the season, surprise guest judges will continue to visit the Bachelor Mansion, joining Jesse, Tyler and Tayshia to tour and evaluate the renovated spaces.
Guest judges will include designer and Bachelor fan Nate Berkus, actress and Bachelor fan Rachel Bilson, former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, HGTV host and designer Christina Haack and former Bachelor Sean Lowe.
