Hot tip: The Renovators

Think MasterChef but with hammers and paint brushes instead of steak knives.

If you don’t like renovation shows, you’d probably better leave town right now.

With The Block, Top Design and The Renovators, you’ll barely be able to avoid them.

But TEN’s The Renovators looks set to re-ignite the genre by applying MasterChef storytelling and production values to renovation and design.

It’s as if they’ve taken away the steak knives and given them hammers. Production values are sleek, scale is huge, host is assured.

If Australia takes to this like they did to a show about food -look out.

It begins later this month on TEN.

  1. @ everyone – television itself is full of advertising whether it be subtle or not and nothing is going to change in the near future. Find something new to complain about.

    I’m with David Knox on this one.

  2. @the dibs The Renovators has 9 sponsors. It will be full of blatant advertising. Masterchef is full of advertising. The Block is pulling amazing numbers. Simple. It is a winning formula.

  3. The renovators will be interesting, but if you look at the sponsor list it will have even more blatant sponsor intergrations than the block. Promos make me think that this show is mire sizzle than steak.

  4. The Block is rating well but is a bit crappy. Top Design is slated for Wed after the block and having read a bit about it I am thinking why?…..and then we will get the renovators. Its gonna be tough for them to gain the traction as ch9 have a headstart and is already in overkill mode. Whether your average punter will be bothered about great productions values remains to be seen. Gimmee Sons of Anarchy or Grand Designs any day over this load of rubble

  5. We just want to see quality production standards. The Block has very little and is a blatant advertorial which is very disappointing from previous series. The Renovators looks quality. Looking forward to seeing it.

  6. Mastef finale is on July 31st I believe and Ten could take advantage of the lead in by putting the first ep on afterwards to give it possibly 2 million viewers. If the Renovators do well in that week, Ten could possibly win that week.

  7. I’m leaving town….:D
    Time to buy a second TV so I can watch tapes and DVDs in the bedroom while my hubby laps up all the renovation…..*rolls eyes*

  8. So, to be successful, the contestants have to have a great story?

    A la ‘Masterchef’: what are you making? Spag Bog. Why? It reminds me of my great grandmother’s second cousin’s uncle’s flatmate who blah blah blah…
