Brother vs. Brother (2013–…): Season 7, Episode 3 - Super Bonus Spaces - full transcript

DREW: Previously on
"Brother vs. Brother,"

we each bought a home in
the beautiful LA neighborhood

of Hancock Park in my hood.

JONATHAN: What?

Want to be my neighbor?

DREW:
And we're going mano a mano

in our biggest
flipping challenge ever.

Boom. Aha! [ Laughs ]

First, it was Jonathan's
sophisticated Spanish vibes

versus my storybook chateau
in the living rooms.

I won the challenge...



[ Hands thud ]
The house next door.

Ohh. Whoo! What?

...while Drew got humiliated
on "Entertainment Tonight."

Oh, my gosh.

And there I thought
I deleted all copies of that.

Have you heard of the cloud?

JONATHAN: Then I lost again
in the kitchen challenge.

- The house next door.
- The house next door.

Yes!

JONATHAN: So I got the magic
Disneyland treatment.

This is a big deal.

While Drew had to do
all my errands.

This took me a while.

DREW: I'm down 2-zip.



Oh. Whoo.

So the additional dwelling
and bonus spaces challenge

is my chance
to get back in the game.

HART: Boom.

DREW: This competition
started at birth.

And I won,
because I came out first.

Arriba!

We're always trying
to one-up each other.

Come get your ice cream.

It's actually pretty good.

So we came up with a plan to
settle things once and for all.

We'll each buy, renovate,
and sell a property

in one of LA's most
historic neighborhoods.

LA buyers are totally
gonna want it.

The brother with the biggest
net profit in the end wins.

And along the way,
our favorite TV friends

will stop by
to judge our spaces.

The winner is...

Let the competition begin.

I'm winning.

Not in my backyard.

Oh, I'll be celebrating
in your backyard.

Nope.

BOTH: This is
"Brother vs. Brother."

♪♪

Ohh! Mr. Healthy. I'm not ready.

I'm not ready anyway. Whoa.

I may have brought you
all the treats

for your Disneyland experience,

but I kept one doughnut
for myself.

Mm-hmm.
It was a dream come true.

It was so much fun.

[ Chuckles ] Ohh.

Whoo! What.

Can I borrow some sugar?
[ Chuckles ]

Kudos to you.

You beat me fair and square,

but that just means that I need
to pick it up for this week.

And, oh,
I'm feeling pretty good,

because I know which area
of the house

I want to work on next,

and I will definitely win this.

Why is that? What is it?

The additional dwelling
in the bonus spaces,

let's package that together
so I can win.

Most of the desirable houses
in this neighborhood,

they have an additional
dwelling unit,

which is great for in-laws

or guests
or even as a rental suite.

Yeah, and they're really great
for adding value.

So I think with the 80 used,
along with the bonus spaces,

it's a really great idea.

I'll tell you my bonus spaces
if you tell me yours.

No.

[ Laughs ]

Even if you told me the spaces,

you're the most
uncredible source

[ Laughs ] of all time.

So you could be
mind-gaming me, so.

All right. Well, why don't we
do six weeks again

like we did for the kitchen?

Okay. Thought of
the ultimate reward.

So I was talking
to Jose Fernandez

from Ironhead Studios.

So they do, like,
most of the Marvel

so they do Thanos,
they do Black Panther.

He's a costume fabricator.
Oh, my.

They scan your whole body,
and then they create the suit,

and they add the muscle
and everything on top of it.

And we could come up
with a name...

So that whatever brother wins,

they can create
their own identity

so they can pick what kind of
a look they want for the outfit.

Have you been planning
a superhero costume in your head

for four years? For years.

[ Chuckles ] For years.

I have a superhero judge.

Who? Breegan Jane

from "Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition."

Oh, that's a good one.
She would be perfect.

She's like the superhero
of home construction.

The renovations they do
on her show,

I have no idea how they do it
in that timeline.

We have quick timelines,

they have crazy timelines.

It drives me nuts.

I'm in my neighborhood,
and I have lost two challenges

in a row to Jonathan.

It's lame.

Just so you know,
you're going down this week.

Okay. So, recap. We're doing
additional dwelling unit,

bonus spaces, six weeks,

Breegan Jane is judging,
and then...

The winner gets
a superhero costume.

And guess what? Every superhero
needs their energy

so good luck.

Donut man.

♪♪

JONATHAN: Despite the fact that
the house Drew's working on

is only a couple of blocks away,

and Drew's actual house
is right next door,

he'd have the perfect
opportunity to spy on me,

but I still managed to beat him
in the last challenge.

Trying to find a dark corner
to celebrate our winning.

I am definitely
still riding the high,

and so let's keep that going.

I bought my house
for $2.4 million,

and I budgeted $2 million
for the renovation.

In the first two challenges,

I spent $714,000
on the living room, entry,

kitchen, and dining.

Now I'm putting $205,000
into my office,

coat room, powder room,
and additional dwelling unit.

I am feeling good.
I'm feeling like a winner,

because I beat Drew
at the last challenge,

and I'm still the undisputed
king of kitchens.

I'm also feeling good,

because I'm finishing the rest
of my main floor, the office,

the coat room,
and the powder room.

They're all gonna
add functionality

and a touch of elegance.

And for the additional
dwelling unit,

we're transforming
the dumpy, old garage

into a huge value add.

If this was somebody's
man cave, man, I just...

They weren't
much of a man. [ Laughs ]

This is just so bad.

This garage is gross.

It is so old.

All of this has to be redone,
because I want it to be

the perfect
additional dwelling unit.

First, we'll refurbish
the whole structure.

A vaulted ceiling
and large glass entry

will help make
it feel bright and airy.

A laundry room will be
a big perk,

and we'll build a luxurious
three-piece bathroom

that any renter
or guest would love.

We'll make the most of the space
in the main living area

with a super-efficient
Murphy bed setup

that converts from bedroom
to living room in no time.

In the kitchen, a peninsula
with rich, moody tones

will make this
self-contained ADU

stand out in the crowd.

Back in the main house,

I've already built my kitchen,
so I'll transform this one

into a stylish coat room with
some much-needed functionality

and storage on the main floor.

This dumpy back room
is the perfect spot

for a big powder room

that'll make a big impact
on buyers.

In the front of the house,
we'll close off this wall

to create an incredible
office space

with a vibe all its own.

With custom built-ins,
dark tones,

and classic features,

working from home
has never been so sexy.

The garage looks pretty nasty
on the outside,

but I'm hoping that the bones
are good on the inside,

because I could refurbish it,
save the existing structure,

and probably save
a boatload of cash.

If I do that, that will help me
win the overall competition,

and that's what's
most important.

So I say we cross our fingers
and bust into these walls.

♪♪

Good news is we can kill
some vampires if we need to.

[ Chuckles ]
What does that mean?

[ Imitates stabbing sound ] Mm.

JONATHAN: I think my biggest
hurdle is gonna be keeping up

with all of the things
that Drew is doing,

because he has said
floodgates are open,

he is winning this season.

Just obviously cannot
let that happen.

And let that puppy drop.

Oh. Whoo!

♪♪

Jonathan is my nemesis
when it comes to kitchens,

but I'm gonna fight back,

because I am
the additional dwelling king.

So for this challenge,
he's in my kitchen,

and he's not gonna like it,
how hot it gets in my kitchen.

I bought my house
for $2.35 million,

and I have a $2 million budget
for the renovation.

I spent $462,000
in the first two challenges

on the living room,

parlor, kitchen,
and dining room.

This challenge includes
building an addition

so I'm going big.

$375,000
is going into my media room,

home gym,
and additional dwelling unit.

♪♪

[ Clatters ]
HART: Ohh. [ Laughs ]

The door handle fell off.

Well, this feels like
an abandoned cabin,

which is maybe where I'm sent to
for losing last week.

Ouch.

It feels like a punishment,

but that's fine.

It's okay, we'll get him
this week.

We're gonna get him this week,

because I have amazing ideas
for the additional spaces.

I put my kitchen
into another area of the home

in the last challenge.

A, because this one
is old and unsalvageable,

and, B, I have big plans
for this part of the home.

I was thinking ahead
in the first challenge

when I reserve some space
in my parlor.

Now I'm gonna give
my property value a huge boost

by building
an additional dwelling

with a separate entrance.

And my media room and home gym
will be a part of an addition

that connects
to the primary residence.

I don't think Jonathan's
gonna come close

to what we're doing.

I'm using this entire side
of the house

to build a spectacular ADU.

Near the front,
a luxurious four-piece bathroom

with a dramatic tile choice

will be a dream
for house guests.

I'll carry the tile
through the separate entryway

which leads into
the main living area.

Warm wood tones, bright whites,
and a picture-perfect layout

will create a kitchen
and living space

that anyone will be happy
to come home to.

With a luxurious bedroom,

closet space,
and stacked laundry,

buyers will see the value

and guests will see
the benefits.

For my other additional spaces,
I'll build a brand-new addition

that will connect
to the primary residence.

The media room will be
warm and inviting,

perfect for movie nights
and binge watching,

or raise the blinds
and use the pass-through bar

for some amazing
indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Over here, a home gym
with a calming eco vibe

and its own bathroom.

Buyers will find their Zen,

then grab a pen,
and sign the winning bid.

Yes, let's just
take out the cabinets.

Yeah.

Pull and pass.

I kind of... wait.

Ooh. I see something hidden.

Ooh.

Aw. Do you have a migraine?

I think it's from 1921.

That's the good stuff.

Prescriptions
don't go bad, right?

[ Chuckles ]

♪♪

Boom. All right.

♪♪

JONATHAN: Team Jonathan is
running on all cylinders

right now.

Outside, we're stripping down
the garage.

Inside, Donnie and I were able
to do some surface demo

in the old kitchen
and in the office,

but because of all the lead
and asbestos in the walls,

a remediation team
had to do the rest.

So far, with the previous
two challenges,

all the existing framing
has been in pretty great shape.

But I knew that my luck
would run out eventually,

and today it did.

The remediation crew came across
some rotten structure

in the office,

so we've got some repairs to do.

There's a water problem
in this corner.

For sure, and there is
obviously a leak.

It was probably
a small leak at some point

right in this corner.

And then all of a sudden,
it caused the termites

to come in here,
and it caused the mold

to come in here,
and the rot to come in here.

We're pretty much gonna have
to rebuild this corner.

Yeah, like, that's all
eaten away.

This is the first time
I've actually found something

inside the walls
that's a problem.

I want this to be
a beautiful, swanky office,

because I need somewhere with
a desk to sign the winning offer

when this is all said and done.

[ Chuckles ]
So this is gonna be...

Now you're talking.

...the room that it happens in.

♪♪

DREW: This house was littered
with lead and asbestos,

so we had to have
an abatement team in here

to do most of the demo work.

It took a while,
but they have stripped

this section of the ground floor
right down to the studs.

So we are ready
to start the rebuild.

The additional dwelling unit
is gonna be self-contained

and built mostly within the
original structure of the home.

The media room and home gym

will be a part
of the primary residence,

and for those, we're planning
to keep the existing foundation

and build off of it
to help create the addition.

But now that we can see
the existing structure

at the back of the house,
we've got a problem.

So, under here, literally
there's no support.

There's basically
the walls floating.

Yeah. The little stem walls
that we're under there,

they're all gone.

There's literally nothing
that's holding up the back wall

of the house here,
it's just floating.

Yeah.

Most of the damage
is the rim joists.

I can even see the concrete
in here is just crumbled.

Yeah.

DREW: We ran into
a similar foundation problem

in another part of the house

when we were building
for the kitchen

in the last challenge.

I was hoping
that this part of the foundation

would at least
be partially usable,

but it's toast.

We have to completely rebuild

all that foundation,
reframing, and structure.

It's a huge setback.

So literally the entire back
half of the house,

we have to cut off
and start fresh.

I'm gonna go back to the budget.

We have to find some savings

or else Johnson's
gonna destroy me on this.

Okay. Oh, my gosh.

♪♪

♪♪

Literally, nothing is

DREW: I was actually
planning on using

the existing
footprint of my house,

but now that we have
everything open,

and I can see
what I'm working with,

we can't use any of it.

That is definitely gonna hurt
my budget.

I mean [Sighs] this is a hit.

We keep overspending like this,

we're never gonna get
the money back when we sell.

Somehow I need to claw
back some money.

I need to find
a creative solution for this.

I do not want to lose
this competition to Jonathan.

I don't want to lose
the third challenge in a row

to Jonathan, and on top of that,

I don't want to see Jonathan

wearing the superhero outfit
after judging.

[ Imitating crying ]

If a grown man cries,
is it a bad thing?

♪♪

DREW: My office, coat room,
and powder room

are a part of the main house,

we need to replace
some of the rotten framing

and do some structural changes,
but overall, not too bad.

Outside, where the guest house
is going,

completely different story.

It's like a child built this
garage out of Popsicle sticks.

I was really hoping to use
some of the existing structure

to cut down on costs,

but based on what I'm seeing
inside the walls,

those hopes are fading fast.

You can feel
the amount of weight

that is on this wall right here,

but then you get these ones
that aren't even touching.

And I feel like these two
and that one are the only thing

holding this whole wall,
and you can see the...

I mean, even
the block is moving.

Maybe we shouldn't
stand back here. [ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

♪♪

Team Drew just suffered
its biggest setback so far.

We were hoping to use
the back section of my house

to create the addition
for my home...

The home gym, the media room...

But the foundation is no good,

the framing is all rotten,

so it all has to come down,

which means cutting that part
of the upper floor, too,

since it's gonna come down
with it anyway.

Once I pull this off
and once you cut that,

this whole thing
is going, right?

All right. Shaking.

DREW: With an engineer's help,

we cut around the key
structural components

and from safely inside
the solid part of the house,

we just need to give a few more
shoves to say adios

to the back of the house.

That's for sure. Well done.

Who's doing the cleanup?

♪♪

JONATHAN: To create my new
coat room and powder room,

we've had to do
some restructuring,

because they are right
underneath the landing

of the stairwell going upstairs.

We needed to take apart
what's there

and sister up the ceiling joists

to properly support
the whole area.

JONATHAN: It's a tight squeeze.

Oh, you're gonna need to
hammer on that end.

So much of this renovation

has been like
taking a puzzle apart

and putting it back together
with new pieces

that don't quite fit
the old ones.

But it's well worth the effort,

because for buyers,
I know that having a place

that's structurally
safe and solid

gives you great peace of mind,

even though they'll never
even lay eyes on it.

But they will lay their eyes
on the furniture.

So now that we have all that
structural work behind us,

Jolene's here
from my design team

to help us make
some smart choices

for the additional dwelling unit
and the office.

When you're thinking
about working at home, I mean,

are you normally like
a sofa crasher with a laptop?

I'm a dining table girl.

Oh, you work
at the dining table?

I need a nice chair.

I have a feeling
this room's gonna be

a little bit more masculine
than many of the other spaces,

which I'm fine with. Okay.

And for the ADU out back,

it should be really
fresh and inviting,

you know, plush furniture.

We're gonna have
a peninsula over there,

some comfy breakfast bar stools,
stuff like that.

I agree. I'll start
pulling those options

on Wayfair right now.
Okay, sounds good.

♪♪

DREW: With the old, rotten
structure out of the way,

we are rebuilding
a nice, new foundation

and framing up the addition
that will house my home gym

and media room.

To tear down and rebuild was a
hit to the budget,

but I have a plan to fight back.

Because we're starting
from scratch,

I've decided to add 5 feet
of extra width to the addition.

It will add
valuable square footage

to this part of the home,

which will definitely
boost my sale price

and hopefully help me
be Jonathan.

Thing's come together fast.

♪♪

JONATHAN: Today, we're supposed
to be putting in temporary walls

to support
my additional dwelling unit

so we can start
building around it.

DONNIE: Oh. [ Thud ]

[ Pop, thud ] JONATHAN: Hmm?

The whole thing just shook.

But things are starting to get
a little dicey back here.

Like, this whole...
look at this.

If you were to shake
on that side,

that makes me just
a little bit nervous.

It is such a hazard.

I have a huge construction team
coming and going,

Drew's yard is 3 feet away,
this is dangerous.

It's all eaten up
with termite damage.

You get one solid gust of wind,

I feel like this whole thing's
just ready to go.

This is a little nuts.

It is such a hazard.

JONATHAN: I was hoping to use
some of the existing structure

of this garage
to cut down on costs

when I rebuild
my additional dwelling unit,

but this structure
is just crazy unsafe.

I don't even want to
leave it here,

in case it did fall down,
hurt somebody.

I got to pull this down,
but I have to be so careful.

Demolishing and renovating
the whole garage

is gonna be a hit to the budget,

but I got to get this
out of here.

DONNIE: Do you want
to direct it with a rope?

To make sure this thing
falls in the direction

we want it to fall,
which is away from Drew's yard,

I need to secure some rope

some of the structure.

DREW: Having to tear down
the back of my house

started out as bad news,

but it ended up being good news,
because I was able to add

valuable square footage
to the addition.

Now, I might need to rethink
the furniture layout,

so Breeze from my design team
is here to help out.

Hey. Beautiful TV.

Yes, right there.

I mean, this is a pocket door

so there will be
more space on the side,

nice and symmetrical. Gotcha.

On this side,
I actually see more of,

like, a theater space
media room.

I think this
is like that family room

where everyone's gonna hang out.

I also see over on the back side
here a little bar section,

which I want to overhang
to the outside space

so it'll create
an indoor-outdoor flow.

So with a little bar there,

a lounging area here to watch
shows together as a family.

Consider this...

There's gonna be
a bar over there,

that's still a walking path.

Where this drywall is
is basically the sofa.

Get down here. Come on.

Super comfy. Super comfy.

Does that feel...
If it's a big screen,

a movie theater seat...

Does this feel like
we're getting too close?

I mean, it's a great sight line.

This is exactly
what you want it to be.

I'm pretty comfy down here.

I don't know, I might sit
[Chuckling] for a while.

I think we need
to keep this, then.

[ Groans ]

ourselves the bar, too.

I'm playing a bit of catch up
with my office coat room

and powder room, but everything
is starting to come together.

Insulation and drywall? Check.

And the additional dwelling?
Big check.

Demolishing
and removing the big old garage

ended up hitting
my budget pretty hard.

So I'm gonna have
to cut some costs elsewhere

in order to save on the reno.

We had a rough start
to this challenge,

but I feel like the worst
is behind us.

Plumbing and electrical

house, and they look fantastic.

DREW: Oh, hi, neighbor.

Hi. Can I have a cup of sugar?

My addition
is coming together fast.

It's new construction,
it's big, it's open,

and it's airy.

My additional dwelling is
in the old part of the house.

It's not so open and airy,

but I have to make
it feel that way

to wow our judge, Breegan,
and potential buyers.

There's only one bathroom
in the unit,

and it has to feel luxurious.

So I need to fit a lot
into a small space.

So literally, this is... I know
we have the tub and the shower

all incorporated
into the one area.

From the edge of the tub

to the edge of the glass
for the shower,

we have 2 feet width.

That is way too tight,
especially for this challenge.

Our judge is gonna come in here
and say, "That's ridiculous.

No one would ever
want to use that shower."

And I agree.

And I don't want to add work

to the guys' plates,
but we have to change this.

It's not gonna be
a functional bathroom

for somebody.

more money to fix,

not to mention lost time from
pulling the guys off of the work

they're scheduled to do.

it's like a hurricane.

and then we tore it down

and then we rebuilt it.

We fixed it all,

starting to look like

But, knock on wood,
I hope we are.

This is a very
different type of ADU.

But at the end of the day,
I actually kind of prefer

that it's its own
standalone house here.

It's like a little mini house.

They'll have their own privacy,

not sharing any walls.

Oh, it burns. [ Laughs ]

It's good? Do you want more?

No, I'm good. [ Laughs ]

DREW: I am feeling the burn, and
Jonathan's gonna get burned,

locked up.

[ Grunting ] Jonathan,
you're going down.

♪♪

My guest house isn't huge,
but to make it feel that way,

I went out and sourced the
perfect folding glass doors

to max out on natural light.

I love it. I think
we can say decision made.

Let's definitely do this.
I like it. Perfect.

JONATHAN: Donnie and I are
installing the doors today,

and they are gonna make
a huge difference in here.

This is going to be amazing.

My guest house has been
a bit of a time taker

and definitely a budget taker,

but inside,
we're catching up fast.

And in the office,
I think I have a way

to claw back some money.

Instead of doing, like,
full-depth, like, 4 inch-deep

coffered ceiling
all throughout here,

we could probably

[Whistles] do something
like a metallic wallpaper.

What is that material?

It's just like
a thick wallpaper.

Cool. Yeah.

Essentially, what we could do is

before doing any trim
of any kind,

basically wallpaper
the entire ceiling,

have that done,

then come back
and do the applied molding.

We could do something

that's even kind of
a little more ornate.

JONATHAN: This is gonna save me
some money.

It's gonna look great.

And when I win
my third challenge in a row,

I am gonna rub it
in Drew's face while wearing

a Hollywood-caliber
superhero costume.

We're all about winning,
you know?

And this is gonna do it.

After a bit of a delay

we're back on track.

Drywall is up,

Overall, I'm going
light and bright in here.

And the warmth is gonna come

from this beautiful
dark hardwood flooring.

I don't need your help,
Hart, I got this.

These twelve beams across
the ceiling will be an homage

to the vintage of the home.

And one of the perks
of living down the street,

I can pull decor ideas from
the comfort of my own house.

[ Cellphone notification rings ]

Hello.

Hey, I recognize that backdrop.

Ohh, yes.

So, I know we're looking for
inspiration for the guest suite

and so I have an idea.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, actually, I think
with the lighter tones

that we have for the suite,

I actually think something like
that will look nice

for one of our side tables.

But maybe that's
just a bit of inspiration

for what we can pull.
Yeah, beautiful.

I can send you a photo, as well.

Yeah, take a shot of it,

The powder room is big,
beautiful, and moody.

This is going to be
a game changer.

The coat room is gonna have
tons of storage,

value add for buyers.

And in my office,
Jolene from my design team

is helping select the furniture.

I saved a bundle of cash

by scrapping
my coffered ceiling idea.

I'm gonna go with

a trim and wallpaper ceiling
detail instead,

but the thing is, my plan B
still has to look like a plan A

so I have to get this right.

Don't get any of that paint
on that new wallpaper.

I will not get the paint on it.

Pass me the white one.
DONNIE: Yeah, yeah.

'Cause if we did
leave it with white,

it pops more

Yeah.

JONATHAN:
We're doing everything we can

Oh, movie night. Exactly.

It's got plenty of seating,
and we're tricking it out

with some awesome
TV watching tech.

This media room is gonna add
huge value to my house.

Go to HGTV.

DREW: I had to spend
a lot more money

tearing down the back
of the house

to rebuild a portion
of the addition,

but it's bigger and better
than the original plan.

So I'm okay with that.

I also spent extra
in the ADU bathroom

to move the plumbing
and improve functionality.

So I'm over budget,

but the value I've added
will more than make up for it.

♪♪

I think our Judge Breegan
is gonna love

my additional dwelling unit.

And in the main house,
the office and coat room

are shaping up
to be a huge value add.

So, because we're doing the
ADU, there's no garage storage.

Yeah, that's why I think
this is brilliant.

You have so much storage,

and all of this
is full-depth, as well,

and down below here.

This is kind of like your garage
without parking a vehicle in it.

It's perfect.

Rebuilding my ADU was a bit
of a hit to the budget,

but I clawed back some money

by simplifying my ceiling plan
in the office.

So I'm over budget,
but it could have been worse.

I know buyers
will love these spaces.

I just hope Breegan does, too.
