Bargain Block Finds New Life in the UK

Exciting news is buzzing in the world of home renovation! The beloved show Bargain Block is making a grand return as HGTV UK has announced they will air past episodes after its cancellation from HGTV. This fan-favorite series, which focuses on transforming rundown properties in Detroit and rejuvenating neighborhoods block by block, is sure to reignite the passion of viewers who adore a good home makeover story.

The announcement was made on September 23, and the series is set to premiere in the UK on October 7. Fans have expressed their enthusiasm over the return of the show after its four-season run on HGTV wrapped up earlier this month, specifically on September 10. It’s a thrilling moment for many who felt a void with the show’s conclusion.

Transforming the Unworthy

Bargain Block became widely celebrated for its ability to breathe new life into properties that were often deemed unworthy of renovation. The magic brought by hosts Evan Thomas and Keith Bynum was nothing short of astonishing, turning neglected houses into splendid homes. Viewers would often marvel at the renovations, and many found themselves inspired to tackle their own home improvement projects after seeing these transformations.

Shea Hicks-Whitfield, the local real estate expert featured on the show, also took to social media to engage with viewers regarding the UK premiere, building even more excitement around the show’s return.

Episodes to Revisit

For everyone eager to dive back into the world of home renovations, selected Season 4 episodes are set to premiere on HGTV UK with intriguing titles. These episodes include The London House, The Crumbling Cottage, Once Upon A Time In Detroit, Betting on Detroit, Casa Frida, and Tropical And Trendy. Each episode showcases unique challenges and the remarkable transformations that came to life with creativity and craftsmanship.

A Journey of Renovation and Commitment

The announcement of the show’s cancellation in June left many heartbroken. Bynum confirmed that HGTV did not renew Bargain Block for a fifth season, and fans were left wondering what would come next for the duo. Nonetheless, they remained optimistic about future projects, ensuring fans that the Bargain Block team would continue engaging viewers, albeit in other capacities.

Despite this setback, Bynum and Thomas have committed to staying in Detroit, where they have expanded their business and continue their home renovation projects under their design firm, Nine Design + Homes. The team has made an incredible impact on the Detroit community, engaging with the locals and revitalizing homes that reflect the spirit of the neighborhoods.

The Impact of Bargain Block

Over the course of its run, Bargain Block successfully rehabilitated 18 houses in its very first season. Some properties were purchased for as low as $1,000 and later sold for up to $100,000, proving how a little bit of love and elbow grease can lead to significant returns. Bynum has often expressed gratitude for the supportive community in Detroit, highlighting how it contributed to the show’s success and the revitalization of neighborhoods.

As the show concludes, Bynum reflects on the journey and expresses heartfelt gratitude to fans, the dedicated crew, and the vibrant city that inspired so much of the work they did. While the show may be wrapping up, the spirit of home renovation continues, leaving behind a legacy of creativity and community spirit.

So, mark your calendars because the return of Bargain Block promises to be a delightful experience for both new viewers and longtime fans alike. Get ready to witness the transformational power of renovations that inspire us all!
