Semi Finals 1
For the semi-finals, the teams will be working on living rooms. Due to the distance between the houses, each team will have their own designer, so both Trading Spaces trailers will be used for the Carpentry Worlds. The Yellow team, Angel & Vilma, are going to be working with designer, Edward Walker, & carpenter, Amy Wynn pastor. The Lavender team, Glen & Justine, are going to work with designer Doug Wilson & Carter Oosterhouse as carpenter. Key Swap Paige tells the teams that the budget has been upped to $10,000. $5,000 of that has already been spent. She also gives both teams an envelope that has instructions in it, but they can't open it until they are with the designer & carpenter they'll be working with. Day 0 Designer Chat Glen & Justine didn't care for the Green team's room. ""But they love Doug,"" according to Glen. They call the room ""Sassy Caribbean"" Angel wants to put up an unusual wall unit that is modern with a touch of contemporary. Since the homeowners d
Orlando
Paige introduces us to the 8 couples competing to get their mortgages paid off. Paige also tells us that the neighbors will approve the design, control the budget, & are in conrol. Casting Call Hundreds of homeowners with signs & costumes descend on Home Depot in Orlando, FL on a weekend afternoon in December. They think their trying out for a regular Trading Spaces episode (which is odd- TS was just there late last season.) Strapped to a forklift with a bullhorn in hand, Paige tells the crowd the plan to pay off someone's mortgage. To make the cut, you needed to test your skills in foot painting & toilet racing. Some people even used small children to try to get picked. At Home Depot, 3 skill stations were set up. At the 1st one, hopefuls had to pick fabric swatches out of a bag blindfolded, put them on a board & decide how they'd be used in a room. In the 2nd, homeowners had 60 seconds to drive 6 nails into a piece of wood with only one hammer stroke per nail. In the 3rd

Ocoee
Before meeting this week's teams, Paige tells us last week's results. With 80% of the votes, the yellow team will be moving on to the semi-finals. Homeowner Chats Jay & Melanie's room is already pretty good. She designed the wall, but they both want something different. They don't want their furniture painted, however, they do want the ceiling fan & carpet gone. Jon & Stacie's room is just the opposite of Jay & Melanie's. Their bed doesn't have a headboard & they don't have much new furniture. It does have big windows & a tray ceiling. Key Swap Paige hands out $2000 to each team & goes over the rules. They then proceed with possibly the largest key swap ever- one key is on a giant disco ball & the other is attached to a large key. Day0 Designer/ Homeowner Chat The Light Blue team wants more light in the room & Hildi wants to mow the carpet. The Orange team wants drama & romance, while Edward was thinking something far Eastern.
