The show would have followed twins David and Jason Benham as they helped families find new homes. “In each episode, the guys help a deserving family find a fixer-upper and transform it into their forever home – with a healthy dose of sibling rivalry between the brothers along the way,” reads the official description of Flip It Forward.
