They are: engaged Disa and Russell, who want this to be the home in which they will start their married life; daughter and father Crystal and Ray, the latter who wants to help his daughter and her boyfriend start their life as a couple; married Nina and PJ, who want the house to be a home that their extended family, most specifically Nina's mother, can feel secure in; and life partners Charlotte and Sean, who want to be able to tell their future children and grandchildren how they came about their house. The couples size each other up, as well as the four tear down houses. They are given a quick challenge to decide which couple will be working on which house. They are thrown into the fire when they learn their first renovation will be the living room, for which they are given a $7,000 budget and a seventy-two hour time frame to complete. The team whose living room renovation is deemed the best by the judges will win a train trip to Jasper, and accommodation at the Jasper Park Lodge. They all have the challenge of transforming what was built in the mid-twentieth century into current day sensibilities. One couple runs into some early difficulties in doing structural work before getting the OK from their contractor. The couples are excited to show the judges what they are trying to accomplish in their home. They will also get a good idea of what will impress the judges in the future as they hear the evaluations.
