Catch up on 'Totally '90s House': Weekly Wins, Updates and More

Totally '90s House is here, and it's a home renovation competition of epic (and totally radical) proportions. The stars who defined '90s television spent the decade in everyone’s living rooms. Now they're about to transform one. The premise: Two teams of '90s stars go head-to-head, giving their chosen '90s-style homes a serious glow-up — while "keeping it real" the entire way. You got it, dudes!

August 26th Episode: The '90s Called

In episode one, the battle to help two "aggressively of their era" '90s homes embrace this decade officially began. (Those are host Jaleel White's words, not ours.) Jaeleel welcomed six faces every '90s kid will recognize and divided them into teams. Team one: Beverly Mitchell, Brian Foster and Jodie Sweetin. Team two: Keshia Knight Pulliam, Matthew Lawrence and Melissa Joan Hart.

Before the renovations could begin, the team had to choose between two homes to renovate and agree on exactly how much '90s baggage they were signing up to fix. Brian summed up the importance of this decision best: "I feel like we're in a '90s video game, and we’re picking our battle weapon right now."

Get your scrunchies ready. We're going back in time.

Team Mauve: Beverly, Brian and Jodie

This team hit the road to Mullica Hill, New Jersey and surprised homeowners Anna and Nikolaos Yiantsos, who built their house back in 1991. Spoiler alert: They hadn't touched it since. Anna was quick to point out the elephant in the room. "There's a lot of mauve carpet," she said — and she wasn't exaggerating. From the mauve staircase to the scalloped sinks and pickled wood finishes, this home was a full-body immersion into the '90s.

Even the textiles were in on the theme. The comforter matched the valances, which matched the couch. "This looks like an episode of The Golden Girls," Brian joked as he captured the entire experience on a camcorder. He also pointed out the enormous tub in the main suite did have its perks: "I love having pool parties in my bathtub at my house." (Nineties meter score: Off the Charts + Full '90s McMansion)

Next up, Team Mauve crossed the country to Los Angeles to meet Sean Le, whose home hadn't been renovated since 1992. Between the pull-out television in the kitchen, the Art Deco bathroom that was "straight out of Scarface" and a black shell sink that sent Jodie down memory lane (John Stamos had an infamous black bathroom), there was no shortage of nostalgic materials. Downstairs, a step-down party room with a built-in bar had Brian rethinking everything he thought he knew about the decade. "The '90s architecture was way more specific than I remember it being," he said. With black accents everywhere, an open flow that surprisingly worked and full-on '90s man-cave energy, it was clear this home was once somebody's dream bachelor pad.

Team Curtains: Keshia, Matthew and Melissa

This team headed to St. Louis to meet Sahar Agnew, who bought the house she grew up in from her parents, hoping to make it hers. Don't worry, the '90s vibes were alive and thriving. Think: a double staircase, a ceiling mural and honey oak wood covering practically every surface of the massive home. "This is like an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond," Melissa said.

However, it was the bathroom that really sealed the deal on the '90s motif. A green toilet, green sink, green tub and green bidet? Gnarly. Keshia was crunching numbers while Matthew and Melissa took it all in: "If you up the square footage, you up the cost dramatically for a renovation."

Next, the team made its way to Long Island, New York to meet Patti DeLeo, who built her house in 1989 and, as a single mom, never got around to renovating. "This Long Island house is quintessential '90s style," Melissa said — and wasn't lying. The team was greeted with light pink valences, pink picture frames, pink walls in the dining room and, of course, skylights. Did we mention the carpet color changed from room to room on the second floor? There was even a tape cassette player waiting to be discovered. "I'll make you both a mix tape," Melissa joked before getting a little sentimental. "There was something so special about the '90s. It was the last analog decade."

Back at home base, it was decision time. After touring four houses steeped in questionable countertop choices and even more questionable carpet, both teams had to pick their "battle weapon."

Beverly, Brian and Jodie went with the Mullica Hill, New Jersey home — mauve carpet, matching valances and all — officially crowning themselves Team Mauve. Keshia, Matthew and Melissa chose the Long Island house, the one with curtains Keshia knew from childhood. Naturally, Team Curtains was born.

And so, the epic battle begins: The winning team will walk away with bragging rights and a $25,000 donation to the charity of their choice. But for Melissa, that's not really the point. "What is at stake here?" she asked. "Our pride."

Cue the dial-up, demo day is loading.
