The description:
"Jonathan and Drew Scott put their renovation superpowers to work to help homeowners tackle insurmountable challenges and fix the issues they live with and hate when moving isn't an option, hoping the families will ultimately come to love their homes." (via HGTV page for this show).
What it turned into: The Property Brothers Las Vegas Home 2.0
"Moving isn't an option" --> Parents literally just moved into town with the intention of making this their final home.
"Unsurmountable challenges" --> Renovate a freshly-bought out-of-date home to fit their big hosting plans.
"fix the issues they live with and hate" --> Haven't even lived there yet. Instead, they are living in Drew and Scott's guest houses as they wait an exceptionally long time for permit approval that lasts several episodes.

I loved the array of houses here. Not many were "ugly," but rather thematic or unique - making for a fun walkthrough of nontraditional houses and aesthetics. The host and the designer are fun and enthusiastic, with Retta's facial expressions being top-notch on numerous occasions. The editing is also enjoyable, offering both facts/tidbits and sass (such as the counters for various features and reactions).
But I think it leans into the "ugly" bashing a bit too hard considering the houses in question. This show's definition of ugly seems to take on the broader meaning of "in need of updating and improving function." I'm not personally a fan of the designer (her style isn't my sort of thing, and I feel like she leans too hard into making everything have one style throughout the finished product), but the end results are typically quite pretty. Although, with that in mind, I can't help but wonder if some of the final choices were made according to who was open to letting the designer run with her preferences. Perhaps we would have seen more houses or more ugly winners (pointed look at season 2 in particular) if each season had a different designer.
