Competitive drama and great design take center stage in this series of specials for HGTV.
It's season 3 and the battle for design supremacy is back to rock HGTV! HGTV Showdown is the design competition show that features HGTV's top talent pairing up to plan and execute a winning design in less than 6 hours for one lucky homeowner. Then the homeowners get $10,000 to recreate the design at home.
Hosted by award-winning designer Jamie Durie, Season 3 begins airingSundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, 9 p.m. CT June 28 and running through July 19.
Durie will guide viewers through the battle royale. We start by creating two replicas of the homeowner's design-challenged space -- from the outdated furniture to the ratty carpeting. Next, two top notch design teams, each comprised of one designer and a builder or landscaping expert, must race to create and execute a knockout design in less than 6 hours! When time runs out it's up to the homeowners to decide who will be the Shodown champion. So gear up and buckle in, it's time for a Showdown!
Here's what you'll see each week on HGTV Showdown:

Lisa LaPorta (Designed To Sell) and Carmen De La Paz (Hammer Heads) team up once again to face off against Steve Watson (Don't Sweat It) and Taniya Nayak
in a backyard battle to decide which design team’s got the design chops this upcoming Sunday, June 28 at 10/9c. Both teams will have just 5 hours to turn this sad backyard into a place where the homeowners, Megan and Kevin Annis, can entertain in style.
If you were one of our designers with just 5 hours to turn this backyard around, which projects would you tackle? Landscaping? A hot tub? New furniture? A water feature? Maybe an outdoor kitchen?
UPDATE: It was close but team Lisa and Carmen triumphed with a stunning makeover! Congratulations!
