Having an ugly house can be a good thing — if the prize is a dream renovation from a celebrity designer.

That’s the incentive for homeowners who nominate their homes to be on HGTV’s “Ugliest House in America.” And when Season 5 rolls out on Monday, a Minnesota home will be a contender for most hideous house.
According to the network, a St. Cloud abode will be one of 15 houses featured in the lighthearted series that’s all about fun and problem-solving rather than poking fun. Saddled with a home that has a nonsensical layout or outlandish decor, homeowners nominate their places because they don’t know where to begin and are seeking design help from the pros.
In each episode, the host — comedian/actress Retta (NBC’s “Parks and Rec” and “Good Girls”) — takes viewers inside the homes of three finalists in a region (Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Northern and Northeast). Ultimately, one of the homes will be crowned the Ugliest House in America and receive a $150,000 dream renovation from HGTV’s Alison Victoria unveiled in a finale episode.
Season 5 begins Monday. Minnesota falls under the Northern region and, according to hgtv.com, that episode is slated to air on May 6.
“Ugliest House in America” Season 5 debuts at 8 p.m. Monday on HGTV. The show can also be streamed on Max, available the same days and times HGTV episodes are released.
Several home watch businesses joined together in the Minnesota Home Watch Collaborative to stay vigilant across the whole state.
