Handyman Superstar Challenge

To kick things off, our top 20 candidates will first compete in a tense, time sensitive, freestyle challenge. With just some sheets of plywood by their side, and a slew of accessories to choose from, our 20 wannabee handymen have just one hour to make whatever they want to in an attempt to secure a spot in this year’s Top Ten.

It’s our favourite, trash-to-treasured inspired challenge, where our remaining nine handymen, must build something functional and fabulous from a pile of frumpy furniture. Sadly, our bottom three have to piece together something new from a set of old drawers in order to return for next week’s challenge.

After three days of hard work and handy-ness, challenge number three calls for a little team spirit as our eight remaining superstar-wannabees pair-up to build a bridge. Unfortunately for our bottom four contestants, it’s on to building some simple stairs for a chance to stay in the competition.

Back again for the third year is the infamous obstacle course. Our remaining handymen race against the clock to successfully execute a series of simple tasks. Then it’s off to mitre some simple moulding for our fellas who failed the first challenge.

How good are the contestants on paper? Drawing inspiration from a simple drawing, our remaining contestants have just three hours to build a piece of furniture. Then for the bottom-three, it’s off to play with plywood again for a chance to stay put in the competition.

The pressure is on for the final challenge before, well, the final superstar-determining final challenge. A rather simple, familiar handyman task, it’s the first time ever on handyman superstar challenge where we are asking our contestants to fashion a wooden fence.
