Say hello to Rock the Block Season 6: veterans versus rookies. This season, the stakes are high as two veteran teams return to the block to challenge two rookie teams eager for a win. During seven episodes, returning host, craftsman and design expert Ty Pennington will charge the HGTV powerhouse duos to face off in an epic renovation battle — this time with bigger houses and bigger challenges just outside Salt Lake City, Utah — for bragging rights and a street named in their honor. The new season will air on HGTV Monday, April 14 at 9|8c.

Which HGTV Stars Are Competing in Season 6?

Former competitors and judges headed back to the block on the veteran teams will include designer Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab) with Season 4 champion and high-end designer Michel Smith Boyd (Luxe For Less), as well as home restoration dynamo Jonathan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer) and his New Kids on the Block bandmate and brother Jordan Knight — who is new to the block but joining his brother after assisting him in his Camp Revamp property flip.

Joining the series for the first time, the rookie teams will feature married home reno pros Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (Down Home Fab) and house-flipping experts Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama (Renovation Aloha). These rookie competitors will bring their unique senses of style from their home bases of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Oahu, Hawaii, respectively. But will it be enough to differentiate them and lead to a win?

What to Expect From Rock the Block Season 6

Each team will have just six weeks and a budget of $250,000 to renovate identical modern properties that boast mountain views, soaring interior spaces and the largest backyards in series history, transforming them with their signature visions and personalized design styles. The team who clinches the highest appraised value for their home will claim coveted Rock the Block bragging rights and a street named in their honor.

“I have the best seat in the house to the toughest home renovation competition on television,” says Ty. “And for the first time on Rock the Block, returning veteran teams will clash with rookie teams who have something to prove. They’ll test their skills and push their limits for not only bragging rights but, more importantly, to leave a legacy on the block.”

During the two-hour premiere, the teams will plan and construct their home’s kitchen, dining and living areas, incorporating desirable elements that will up the value and appeal to potential buyers.

Who Will Be Judging Rock the Block Season 6?

In a new twist this season, expert judges will tour the finished spaces without the competitors present. Designers will reveal themselves after the judges give their honest assessments of the spaces at each weekly judging.

Designer, television host and best-selling author Bobby Berk (Queer Eye) will determine which competitor created the ideal kitchen and living area during Episode 1. Throughout the season, HGTV stars will continue the blind judging, including former Rock the Block contender Mina Starsiak Hawk (Good Bones) and previous Rock the Block winner Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House), who will review the additional first-floor areas, including the entry, mudroom, powder bath and den.

Next up will be the main suite judging by married interior designers Ray and Eilyn Jimenez (Divided By Design), followed by the four teams evaluating their competitors’ second-floor bonus spaces such as a playroom, gaming room, office and wellness retreat. Later in the season, designer Kim Myles (Battle on the Mountain) will visit the multifunction lower levels, with showstopping additions like a pickleball court, cold plunge and sauna, theater and wine room.

Real estate and design experts — and last season’s Rock the Block champions — dynamic twin sisters Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis (Unsellable Houses) will size up the decks and large backyards. Finally, Property Brothers star and home renovation expert Jonathan Scott (Celebrity IOU) will survey the completed homes, including the newly revealed exteriors, guest rooms and balconies, before joining Ty to announce the winning team.

The winner of Rock the Block also will have a donation made on their behalf to No Kid Hungry, which provides meals to kids living with hunger. Since Season 1, funds raised by Rock the Block have helped provide more than 500,000 meals to kids.
