Hosted by Retta, a home design enthusiast, as well as a comedian and actress known for her roles in <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em> and <em>Good Girls<\/em>, the series attracted nearly 11 million viewers to its previous run. During the new six-episode season, Retta will take a road trip to five picturesque destinations to visit 15 horrendous homes nominated by their owners and share her hilarious reviews of the astonishingly bad designs, cringe-worthy layouts, and sorely outdated styles. Based on its ugly appearance, poor functionality, and hideous design choices, one house will be crowned the &#8220;ugliest house in America&#8221; by HGTV, and the network will award its owners a showstopping $150,000 renovation completed by Alison Victoria, one of its top stars, during a special one-hour finale episode.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;As mortified as I am by the nonfunctional spaces and unexplainable design choices in these homes, I&#8217;m also drawn to it,&#8221; said Retta. &#8220;Like a moth to the ugliest of flames, I need to see and know what the heck is going on in there.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In each episode, Retta will tour three homes where she shares her unfiltered reactions to all sorts of questionable design ranging from an overwhelming assortment of fairytale-themed knick-knacks and fake stained glass to miles of terrible tile and carpeted handrails. Throughout the season, Retta will see the best of the worst across the U.S. and help a lucky homeowner transform their unsightly house into a stunner.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For more about Ugliest House In America, fans can visit HGTV.com and follow @HGTV and #UgliestHouse on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and follow Retta @unforettable on Instagram.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ugliest House in America is produced by Big Fish Entertainment.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is the season to hit the road and explore the country&#8217;s most beautiful destinations, but Ugliest House in America: Summer Road Trip, premiering on HGTV Monday, August 7, @ 8PM ET\/PT, will reveal things can get ugly despite stunning surroundings.
