HGTV stars Jonathan and Drew Scott will face-off in Galveston, Texas, for a new season of the network's popular real estate and renovation competition BROTHER VS. BROTHER: JONATHAN VS. DREW. Premiering Wednesday, May 31, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the series arms the popular twins with $600,000 each and six weeks of time to purchase and transform drab waterfront homes into stunning vacation retreats. With older brother JD acting as referee and a star-studded panel of HGTV and DIY Network guest judges serving as challenge reviewers, Jonathan and Drew will go head-to-head in daunting home-related trials. The weekly challenge loser will be forced to endure miserable outings such as riding a terrifying amusement park attraction, climbing an 81-foot obstacle ropes course or heading out to sea to catch shrimp for the winner's dinner. Each week the challenge winner will enjoy all the fun Galveston offers, including exhilarating flyboarding in the bay, playing with penguins at the local aquarium and zip-lining at beautiful local attraction Moody Gardens.
Fellow
HGTV stars Eric and Lindsey Bennett (Desert Flippers), David Bromstad (My Lottery Dream Home), Tiffany Brooks (HGTV Smart Home), Karen E Laine and Mina Starsiak (Good Bones), and Egypt Sherrod (Flipping Virgins) as well as
DIY Network hosts Ben Sargent (Backyard Goldmine) and Brett Waterman (Restored) will travel to Galveston to decide which brother wins each weekly match.
"I've won the past two years, fair and square," said Jonathan. "Three times is a charm and this is the competition where that is going to happen."
"For me, failure is not an option," said Drew. "This year, I'm going to win or die trying."
