Episodes
Season 1
Episode 1
The four couples meet for the first time and are given the task of finding one of four Mazda BT50s before making their way around Auckland to locate four red blocks each that are worth $5,000 and reach the Block first to determine the order the houses are chosen. After finding the first red block, teams were given a choice to build a toolbox to the same standards as one previously built by Mark to earn a bonus red block, or to continue on the hunt and increase their chances of reaching the houses first. All four teams opted to complete this additional task and receive $25,000 in total. Ginny and Rhys arrive first at the Block and select house four, Libby and Ben arrive second and select house three, Sarah and Richard arrive third and select house two and Rachel and Ty arrive last and are given house one.
Episode 2
The four couples enter their houses for the first time and are all shocked to see just how bad a condition they are in. After spending an entire day cleaning up the houses, the teams all meet Shannon Ryan, the Games Master, and Peter, the Construction Supervisor. After learning that the first room they will be required to deliver will be the second bedroom, everyone hires builders and electricians as work begins.
Episode 3
The couples begin their first room renovation, the second bedroom, and Mark challenges them to build a wall to his exact measurements—with a prize that will turn the competition upside down, the winning team of this week's challenge have the opportunity to swap houses with another team.

Shannon sets the couples a distressing challenge, the couples are each given a brand new bedside table and are required to distress the table to make it look like a piece of antique furniture.

Episode 8
The team challenge this week ran over two nights with the first two teams hosting their meal on the first night and the second two team hosting their meal tonight. Sarah and Richard choose a strategic vote giving all other teams a score of 1 out 10 thinking other teams will more than likely make a similar move.
