This week the focus is on bringing a "dream home" to reality. The contestants are challenged to create a stunning "outdoor oasis" and, in the midst of things, must deal with a massive rainstorm that causes delays and frustrations. Team Red (headed by Chicago-based designer Lukas Machnik) focuses on creating a tranquil master bedroom, an inviting indoor/outdoor space and they also take on several creative special projects, including a chicken-wire light fixture and a metal sculpture. The team struggles with time management and spends too much time on the sculptures. Team Blue (headed by New York-based designer Andrew Flesher) focuses on the front exterior and the overall interior color scheme. Sparks fly when Team Blue designer Elaine Griffin chooses a color for her living room that everyone else dislikes for the rest of the home's color scheme. After the judges review the homes, Berkus invites a local "neighborhood council" to vote on which house they feel is the best makeover. In the end, one designer from the losing team will be sent home. Written by Anonymous See less
