Gameplay
Eight couples renovate four apartments. They are divided into two teams, Upper and Lower Complex. Each week, they are given a challenge, a room to renovate. At the end of the challenge a panel of experts assess the apartment, one adding the lowest value, one adding the highest value to the complex. The team responsible for that lowest-value apartment will then have tto evict one of the couples on their team. When four couples are left, they will be on their own and be responsible for one of the apartments. The couple whose apartment ultimately adds the most value to the complex wins. They earn profits from the sale of all the apartments, which will occur by public auction.

Trivia
The 1983 hit song "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads is used as the main theme song for the series.
