Mike Holmes, the Canadian home building hero, hosts a reality competition where deserving families help renovate a series of beat up houses. However, instead of flipping the house for a profit, the houses are given as prizes to the competing families---ALL of them! As each house is is finished, the losing family is left behind with the newly completed project house. By the end of the season, the best "dream" house is given to the finalists in the last episode. Each family has it's own hard luck story, and none of them are aware that each house becomes a prize. I wish I had known about this before. This first season was filmed in the Atlanta suburbs, and I would love to have auditioned for this with my wife and son. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
