Rock the Block is back and already crushing it in the ratings. Following the Season 6 premiere on April 14, HGTV shared an update about the milestone the show hit. The renovation competition series officially became the network’s “highest-rated season premiere since 2023.” According to a press release, it garnered “a .67 live plus three-day rating among adults 25 to 54 when its new season premiered.” This was as “triple-digit increase of 179 percent over the prior six weeks.” Rock the Block features four teams of two renovating identical homes with the same budgets. However, this season includes a twist that has never been done before: Two rookie teams are taking on two veteran teams. Whoever finishes with the highest appraised home value will be declared the winner. The newbies on this season are Down Home Fab stars Chelsea DeBoer and Cole DeBoer, as well as Renovation Aloha‘s Kamohai Kalama and Tristyn Kalama. The vets...

Rock the Block returned with its sixth season on Monday, April 14, but there’s already online discourse about whether the right team won the first round. Bobby Berk was the guest celebrity judge in the premiere and had to evaluate the teams’ living areas, dining rooms, and kitchens. This season, two rookie teams (Chelsea DeBoer/Cole DeBoer and Kamohai Kalama/Tristyn Kalama) are competing against two veteran teams (Alison Victoria/Michel Smith Boyd and Jonathan Knight/Jordan Knight). They’re tasked with renovating identical properties with the same budget. For the first time ever, there was blind judging, meaning Berk didn’t know whose home he was looking at when he did his walk throughs. In the end, Berk chose Victoria and Boyd as the winners of the challenge, which means they’ll get an extra $3,000 in the next portion of the competition. As fellow veterans, the Knights will get $1,500 toward their next renovation.
