The next room to be renovated is the kitchen and dining area, with a budget of $12,000 and seventy-two hours to complete it. The winning couple will be awarded cooking lessons and a trip to Paris. As three of the four couples have already torn down the wall between the living room and the kitchen, they are wanting to tie the two rooms together in look and feel. However, they may have some challenges in doing so as they may not be able to control one of the main aspects of the room. Crystal and Ray do not have the living room tie-in room constraint as they were the one couple who did not tear down the adjoining wall. Not tearing down that wall may give them problems regardless because of the long and narrow space within which they have to work. One couple has a major disagreement with their contractor, which may prove to be costly. Although always an important factor, functionality will be a more important evaluation factor than usual.
