The Tudors

Sun, Mar 23, 201444 mins

Renowned designer Nate Berkus hosts NBC's bold new one-hour reality-competition series "American Dream Builders." Showcasing the talents of the most accomplished designers and home builders in the country, "American Dream Builders" pits 12 talented contestants against one another in a high-stakes competition designed to push everyone's creative reach. Joining Berkus on the show as judges are former NFL player-turned landscape architect Eddie George and interior design expert Monica Pedersen. This week, the teams tackle two Tudor-style homes across the street from one other. Team Red (headed by Tennessee-based builder Tarrick Love) attempts to build a bathroom vanity from a repurposed work bench and create a new dining room table out of the original kitchen's beloved hardwood floors. Team Blue (headed by Chicago builder Jay Riordan) must decide what they should do with the master bedroom. In a surprise twist for the contestants, Berkus invites a "neighborhood council" to vote on which house they feel is the best makeover. In the end, one designer from the losing team will be sent home.

The Wall

6 Seasons
The Wall is 4 stories high and "can change lives". The game is played by two people together. The first portion of the game is Freefall. Contestants must answer questions before balls complete their free fall down the Wall - correct responses earn prize money (green ball), incorrect answers result in prize money being removed (red ball). This portion of the game results in a total dollar amount, that amount must be positive in order to move forward. The second portion of the game involves one of the two contestants going into isolation. Round two starts with two green balls, and two red balls. The player in isolation answers questions "under stressful situations" to determine the color assigned to the remaining balls. Up to six balls can be earned by answering 3 questions. The dollar amount earned in round one is added to whatever is earned in round 2. Players cannot leave this round with less than $0 even if the red balls result in amounts larger than the green balls plus the earnings from round one. The third portion of the game leaves the same contestant in isolation Four green and four red balls are given to start the third round. The player in isolation answers three more questions that can earn up to six balls (again earning green balls for correct answers, red balls for incorrect). The player in isolation then chooses whether to leave the game with the the guaranteed earnings from round 1 plus $20 thousand for each correct answer (not knowing how many questions were correct), or the result of round 2 and round 3.
