Ten gifted contenders will compete for their own show on HGTV. Host and Mentor David Bromstad gives the Designers their first challenge.

For their second challenge, the nine remaining Designers must transform an old industrial warehouse loft into a multi-functional space for living, eating, sleeping and working. The Designers break into teams.

Host and Mentor David Bromstad informs the eight remaining contenders that they must work in pairs to transform four identical new apartments, all for the same young married couple.

The three remaining Designers are surprised to find out that they all are moving on to the final challenge. They are also surprised to learn that the finale will take place in the resort area and design mecca of Palm Springs.

The five remaining Designers find themselves on a major college campus, where host and mentor David Bromstad tells them that they have just three days to make over the main room in a sorority and a fraternity house.

The six remaining Designers must transform the kitchens and dining rooms in two neighboring homes, in just three days from start to finish.
