The sixth season of the Australian reality television series House Rules began airing on 7 May 2018 and ended airing on 30 July 2018.[1] The series was produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and was hosted by Johanna Griggs.

Format Changes

[edit]

Teams - This is the first season to include seven teams instead of the conventional six teams like in previous seasons.[5]

Prize Money/Auction House - In a House Rules first, the first challenge of the competition was for the contestants to renovate a home which will be sold at auction, the profit that is made from the auction became the series prize money.[6] The house was bought for $1.25 million and sold at auction for $1.605 million, which made the profit from the auction $355,000, which became the prize money for the winners of the season.[7]

House Evaluation - After each interior renovation, a property expert from Purplebricks valued each teams houses, they told the team evaluation of the house before the renovation was complete and then give them a card with the new evaluation. In the grand final, the final two contestants were given a new evaluation after the renovation of their front yards.
