Favorite Episode

My favorite episode was Episode 9

Bringing Down the House.

In this episode the two teams were tasked with renovating a small long island home on a 20,000 dollar budget.  I liked the episode because I think it is cool to see the transformation of the space through the episode.  The winning team was Apex which was said to be because of their utilization of the elements that the house had to offer.  They kept all 4 bedrooms in their house while Raj,decided to eliminate a wall, turning Mosaics house into a 3 bedrooms. This caused the value of the house to decrease which ultimately lead to Raj being fired. Raj was also fired because he brought Ivana and Kevin back to the boardroom instead of Chris. The value of Apex's house went up by about 10% while the value of Mosaics house only increased by about 7% Trumps lesson was to control your contractor,"although they may not have gone to Harvard, they aren't inferior. They are tough, smart and can pick your pocket without you knowing it."  The gift for the winning team was to visit a jewelry store where they were able to try on and purchase diamond jewelry from trumps store.
