Seven has released a first peek at House Rules “High Stakes” coming in Q2.
Programming director Angus Ross recently told TV Tonight, the show has new hosts and judges, with contestants renovating a Gold Coast penthouse.
“It’s like something stuck in a James Bond film from the 1970s, but it needs to be brought into present day. It is a massive job, but it is the most insane-looking apartment that you will ever see. And at the completion of that apartment, there is a major format twist in the show…” he said.
Jamie Durie co-hosts with Abbey Way while Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Kyly Clarke and Saul Myers are 2020 judges.
“I just watched the first episode yesterday and was very, very pleased. It’s been completely refreshed and it feels like a very different show.”

Personally I’m very interested in seeing the penthouse of the Focus building being renovated. It’s also not clear whether teams still reno each other’s homes, and the penthouse is perhaps an elimination challenge. House Rules was struggling in the ratings, so maybe a change in format will give it a boost.
“I just watched the first episode yesterday and was very, very pleased. It’s been completely refreshed and it feels like a very different show” – didn’t Seven issue a very similar quote about MKR?
Renovating a high rise … the transformations are ‘next level’ … I see what they did there
Back when all the 9 execs were following David Leckie to 7, I made this (very rough) little video animation. Maybe it’s time to resurrect it …. youtu.be/NOl-_b1Ouac
It’s ironic that Jamie was the first host of The Block and it looks like he’s going to host it again
Oh wait…
Oh no I hope not, the contestants having their own homes done up was the best part, turning to padding with offsite challenges (like the block) last season was bad enough the only parts I fast forward through last season as was just pointless padding.
‘The Block’. Coming to Seven soon.
So in a nutshell it’s no longer House Rules it’s channel 7’s version of the block?
For “completely refreshed” read copied from The Block.
Let’s see if this follows on the successful path established MKR this year.
Formats won’t last forever – no matter how much you ‘tweak’ them.
I also believe Better Homes and Gardens won’t be too far behind.
The new show it looks like is called ‘the block’
Changing the format worked so well for MKR, let’s see what happens with House Rules
I believe the concept is “changing to be like our 9 Network opposition in the hope viewers will watch!”
Agreed! And from that promo it looks like a complete format change not just some minor tweaks.
