2014-04-03_1620Nine will pit contestants from The Block against contestants from House Rules in a new renovation series, Renovation Rumble in 2015.

The series, to be produced by Julian Cress and David Barbour, is one of two new formats on Nine’s 2015 schedule.

Seven CEO Tim Worner revealed the show at the Screen Forever conference in Melbourne today.

2015 will be a big year of renovation on Free to Air TV including 2 x House Rules, 2 x The Block and Restaurant Revolution.

  2. This is now bizarre. The industry is now a working parody of itself – complete with shrinking audiences.
    The only renovation that can save this industry is one where the current execs are renovated out and replaced with people prepared to take risks, spend money.
    They’d simply be better off turning the transmitters off now…

  4. Very confused as to what this will entail. Doesn’t seem like Nine would want to draw any attention to the existence of a competing show on an competing network.

    If it’s being done by Julian Cress then it seems likely to be one of the two seasons of The Block. I don’t see how he would have time to do anything else.

  5. Am I missing something or is 9 airing three renovation shows next year, plus other stupid shows, if so there is not going to be enough weeks in a year to show them all unless they have them 7 nights a week all night long instead of 5 or 6 nights for several hours, and if they keep approx. 17 repeats of TBBT as well, surely the viewers are going to get so fed up they will just switch off 9 all together, it seems that this is what 9 wants to happen, don’t they ever look into the future of TV or just have tunnel vision for a short time.

  8. Excellent, bring on more of these in order saturate the market with these junky shows so they lose viewing audiences and Channel 9 will finally have to produce something that isn’t renovation or “big” (bang and brother) related.

    Can we expect – Coming up 2016 – X Idol Voice! Previous favourites of X Factor, Australian Idol and The Voice Kids battle it out to once and for all find the ultimate singing sensation!

  10. So is this a third renovation show on Nine? Or will Renovation Rumble be the name of a series of The Block eg. The Block: Renovation Rumble? I presume this maybe the show that Darren and Dee from The Block maybe on.

  11. Wow another block of programmes that I will not watch. Hopefully the public will tire of these reality shows shortly. One per year you can take but two of each…….get real.

    Books are looking more promising than anything I have yet to see on 7 or 9

  18. Yes, why is Seven announcing this when it benefits Nine? I’m guessing there was a sum exchange for this, but I still don’t understand why this is happening.

  21. Lord help me. It’s saturation of the genre. I’m surprised House Rules contestants agreed to the idea, knowing it’s coming from Channel 9 and would want to protect their own Blockheads… we all know how things can be edited on reality TV, especially someone who’s actually been a part of it once before…

  24. This series, if promoted and most importantly, casted right (i.e. the House Rules contestants are people’s favorites (e.g. series winners), not ones of Nine’s picking) could potentially be the hit of 2015.

    The two big reno franchises facing off in a all star fight to the finish: it’s the stuff dreams are made of.
