00:00Let me guess, you came here to get a gander at the beautiful houses, didn't you?
00:07I feel like I have to remind you once again, this is ugliest house in America, people.
00:14The ugly is back, and it is back with a vengeance.
00:20It's a dust trap.
00:22It looks like Jabba the Hutt in the corner.
00:24Terrible.
00:25What is going on?
00:27You're going to find out.
00:30We've already crowned the most hideous in the Midwest.
00:34I don't even need to, like, point things out.
00:37It's all right at you.
00:39The worst of the Great Lakes.
00:42Creepy critters live in the rugs for sure.
00:46We're afraid to touch the wall.
00:47The most bizarre in the Mid-Atlantic region.
00:51Okay, okay, okay.
00:55And next, I'm headed to a region you didn't know existed.
00:58Nothing for you.
01:02Since Ugly knows no bounds, we've changed up the map and created a new region of the country called New England-ish.
01:10It's a little New England, a little Jersey, and all kinds of ugly.
01:15And my first stop is in Morganville, New Jersey.
01:17The list of extraordinary contributions to society from New Jersey is almost unquantifiable.
01:25There's the light bulb.
01:26Baseball.
01:28Me.
01:30You're welcome, America.
01:31I'm here to meet Jennifer and Nicholas.
01:33We're here to see if New Jersey is also the home to the ugliest house in America.
01:40Not from the outside, they don't.
01:45I'm going to need to see the inside.
01:49That is a hefty knock.
01:51Hello.
01:52Hello.
01:53Hi.
01:54Hello, everybody.
01:55What a handsome family.
01:58I'm Jen.
01:59Nicholas.
02:00Yep.
02:01What's your name?
02:01Nicholas as well.
02:02Oh, Nick Jr.?
02:04Yes.
02:04Hi, Isabella.
02:06I think the fun route would be towards the back.
02:09Might be a funner entrance.
02:10Oh, boy.
02:11All right.
02:12Bye, guys.
02:13Bye-bye.
02:13Bye-bye.
02:13See ya.
02:24This is our laundry room.
02:26Oh.
02:28Was this your design?
02:29No.
02:31We inherited this.
02:33I'm Jennifer.
02:34This is Nick.
02:35And we live in Morganville, New Jersey in a whimsical nightmare.
02:40The house definitely tells a story.
02:42We're just not really sure what that story is.
02:45When we saw the listing, we always bypassed it because the pictures.
02:49And then they dropped the price.
02:50We haven't been able to really fix the house too much because we're fixing, like, bigger problems.
02:55Like, the refrigerator broke.
02:56The washing machine broke.
02:58We'll eventually catch up.
02:59Clearly, this is, like, self-done.
03:05Yeah, she hand-painted everything, the previous owner.
03:08Yeah, okay.
03:10How long was the previous owner in here?
03:12I think it was, like, almost 30 years that they were here.
03:14I don't even know if this was popular 30 years ago.
03:17I don't know.
03:18Like, what is this?
03:21Running to the kitchen next.
03:24Oh, goodness.
03:26Those are portals.
03:27Portals.
03:29It's a other dimension?
03:30Yeah.
03:30And then there's a lot of peaks.
03:32Yeah.
03:33There are peaks, for sure.
03:36The whole house is.
03:37The doorway has the sharp peak, too.
03:39Yeah.
03:40The kitchen, like, it kind of looks big, but then the space actually, like, prep and stuff.
03:44Right.
03:45You have zero counter face.
03:47Yeah, it's hard.
03:47Then this tile is, like, is it wood?
03:50Wood.
03:50Yeah.
03:51It doesn't matter how many times you sweep.
03:52Right.
03:52There's still stuff there.
03:53Of course.
03:54It, like, comes out of the cracks.
03:55Yep.
03:55And plus, it's just ugly.
03:57Oh, God.
03:58Where to deck?
04:00Next, we're going to go into the great room.
04:01Oh, boy.
04:02It's going to be great.
04:06This is the great room.
04:09It is great.
04:12I don't like this.
04:13It's a carpeted room.
04:14Yeah.
04:15With a hot tub.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Always a bad choice.
04:19What was that room for?
04:22Is that to get the juices boiling?
04:24A little...
04:24What's next?
04:29Our bathroom.
04:30Okay.
04:31Right through that door.
04:31Oh.
04:35Oh.
04:36My.
04:38Goodness.
04:40It's stunning.
04:42Yeah.
04:42In the worst way.
04:43Yeah.
04:44I don't think the woman who painted that bathroom could explain that design.
04:50Oh, my gosh.
04:51It's 3D.
04:52She glued stuff on.
04:54Yeah.
04:54Yeah.
04:54It's like a blob taking over the room.
04:58Okay.
05:00Next room.
05:00Now it's our bedroom.
05:05Oh.
05:06I mean, it is craft city in here.
05:09Damn.
05:09Okay, next, we'll go down the hole.
05:13Okay.
05:14Okay.
05:23It's like a cartoon threw up on this wall.
05:26Sometimes life is a fairy tale.
05:27And then you walk out and you're like, and sometimes it's a nightmare.
05:34You are one of three semi-finalists in the New England-ish region.
05:39If you are selected to move to the next round, you will be that much closer to a $150,000
05:45renovation by Allison Victoria of Windy City Rehab.
05:49Perfection.
05:49Thank you for showing me your home.
05:51Good luck.
05:52We're going to need it.
05:53I'm going to head out.
05:55All right.
05:55I'll see you guys.
05:56All right.
06:00Okay.
06:02So that was the crafty cottage of confusion and delusion protected by the devil.
06:09Once you get inside, the appearance was all over the place.
06:13There were spaces of, like, whimsical cartoons and then volcano-oozing floral orb space.
06:21Function-wise, you don't have counter space.
06:24And then the entryway to the bathroom from the hot tub room.
06:29Precarious.
06:30The surprise?
06:31Every new piece of art had me going, wait, what?
06:35New England-ish.
06:38Ugly-ish.
06:39Next up, I'm checking out the Ugly in the quintessential New England town, Hampton, Massachusetts.
06:47Not far from here is a lake with the longest name in the U.S.
06:53We're going to place it on the screen.
06:55It has 45 letters, 14 syllables.
06:58It is Lake Chagagagagag, Manchagagag, Chabunagungagag.
07:05Nope.
07:06That wasn't it.
07:07Chagagagag, Manchagagag.
07:10Nope.
07:11Damn it.
07:12Chagagagag, Manchagagag.
07:14Chagagagag.
07:15Chagagagag.
07:17Manchagagag.
07:18Chabunagungamag.
07:19Boom.
07:20There it is.
07:21You can also call it Lake Webster.
07:24I'm here to meet Selena, Steve, and Carissa.
07:28We're going to see if this small town has some big ugly.
07:35From here, not so much.
07:38New England-ish seems to be hiding its ugly on the inside.
07:41Hello.
07:44Hi.
07:45How are you?
07:46Welcome. So good to see you.
07:47Nice to meet you.
07:48Nice to meet you.
07:49I thought I dressed nice.
07:51You look great.
07:51I'm messing around here.
07:53Come on in.
07:54Come on in.
07:54After you.
07:55Come on in.
07:56All right.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:00Is that an organ?
08:01That's the pipes.
08:02Oh, yeah.
08:03That's the church?
08:04Yes, it was.
08:04At one time.
08:05At one time.
08:11My name's Steve.
08:20This is my mom, Selena.
08:21This is my daughter, Carissa.
08:22And we have the ugliest house in America.
08:27When I first saw it, I said, oh, my God, what have you guys done?
08:32The house was a church for 40 years.
08:35And it has a pipe organ built into it, which is very odd.
08:40It's a work in progress, a large work in progress.
08:46The wallpaper.
08:47Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
08:49Be careful.
08:50Don't look at it too long.
08:51It might burn into your memory.
08:52And then we have the Swiss Lodge ceiling.
08:55Stained glass windows are even weird design.
08:57I never, I don't know what that is.
08:58It's like a stained glass mustache.
09:00Yeah.
09:00The outside of the house just looks like any house in any New England area.
09:09The inside looks like someone threw a jigsaw puzzle at the walls.
09:13It's a kitchen.
09:17You have enough space?
09:18No, we don't.
09:19And it's funny because I'm a chef.
09:20It's tough.
09:21Yeah.
09:21This railing right here.
09:24Okay, that went all the way.
09:26See that right there on the floor?
09:27We had to pull that out because we couldn't even get around in here.
09:30So it was just a walkway into this space?
09:32Yeah.
09:33And then we had the same thing coming from the ceiling that went down this far.
09:37I don't know what it was.
09:38So it was like a little prison.
09:39Yeah.
09:39That's so crazy.
09:43Where to next?
09:45We're going to head down to the basement.
09:46Okay.
09:47Oh, boy.
09:50Be careful.
09:52Oh, there's a handle.
09:54But I wouldn't trust it.
09:58This is my granddaughter's room.
10:02Wow.
10:03It is a dark dungeon down here.
10:07What is this?
10:08Yeah, right?
10:10What?
10:10What is?
10:11There's so many things happening.
10:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:14This is a water softener that I've never seen before.
10:16We've been asleep down here with all these contractions.
10:19It clicks every time you turn the water on.
10:21Yeah.
10:24I'm used to it by now, though.
10:25And there's a weird hole here behind this thing.
10:27Yeah, so when I first got here, this was just open.
10:33How do you sleep down here?
10:35Not that this hole is here.
10:37That's why I got her a little cover.
10:38With this, I forget that it's there.
10:40I would be hammering nails into that thing.
10:43You couldn't open it.
10:44What if an animal gets caught back there?
10:47They have.
10:48It was just a snake, but it was...
10:50There's been...
10:51I'm nervous.
10:55I'm nervous.
10:55Carissa.
10:56Holy cow.
10:57After one of my 16-hour shifts at the hospital, this seems like a Ritz Carlson.
11:02It ain't.
11:03Let's go back upstairs.
11:04Okay.
11:05We're going to head up to that bathroom upstairs.
11:09What would you look at this?
11:12Isn't she eclectic?
11:15But after the hole, everything's a step up.
11:20The sink is very interesting.
11:22It was actually a holy water receptacle.
11:26What?
11:27Oh, they converted it.
11:29Oh, wow.
11:30They put wallpaper in the tub.
11:33They put it in the shower.
11:34That's right.
11:35They did put it in the shower.
11:40A little splash guard.
11:41What on earth?
11:43I know.
11:45Where to next?
11:46We're going to go into the loft.
11:48Let's hit the loft.
11:50The organ.
11:57The dulcet tones of an old-ass pipe organ.
12:01Feels like a nightmare.
12:04So, thank you for showing me around your home.
12:06It was a pleasure.
12:07It was so nice to meet you.
12:08Keep it pushing, as they say.
12:09There we go.
12:10There we go.
12:10Okay.
12:11So, that was the terrifically terrible tabernacle.
12:19Appearance-wise, everywhere you turn, there's random wallpaper, random wood, and a random pipe organ.
12:26If you'd like to hold a church service, we got you.
12:29Functionally, the kitchen is a mess.
12:32It looked like it had a jail cell inside it, which I'd actually prefer over that downstairs bedroom.
12:38The surprise?
12:41The snake hole.
12:42Yikes.
12:42For the last stop in the New Englandish region, I'm staying in Massachusetts and making my way 97 miles east to the town of Somerset.
12:55Somerset, Massachusetts, settled in 1677.
13:00This part of the country, many firsts.
13:04First Thanksgiving.
13:05First American university.
13:08Harvard.
13:08And perhaps the ugliest house in America.
13:17Interesting.
13:19Half ugly, half not.
13:22Even though I don't really like stone.
13:31Hello.
13:32Hello.
13:33Galen, how are you?
13:36I'm well.
13:37How are you?
13:37Nice to meet you.
13:38Nice meeting you, too.
13:39Who are you?
13:40Oliver.
13:42Nice to meet you.
13:42Nice to meet you.
13:43I'm Mark.
13:44Nice to meet you.
13:45They are my nephews.
13:45Your nephews.
13:46Tell me about this house that looks like a building on a school campus or a bank.
13:54I'm flattered.
13:54Yeah.
13:57It is unique in my eyes.
13:59It is.
13:59And I love the way it is.
14:01You know what show this is, right?
14:05My name is Galen.
14:06I live in Somerset, Massachusetts, in the ugliest house in America.
14:11The listing said, give them something to talk about.
14:15And it was true.
14:16I was born in Haiti, and I always had planned to bring my family here.
14:24So, there's a lot of space.
14:26Also, I like things that are unique.
14:31Oh, interesting.
14:32Caroline.
14:34Yes.
14:35I have the same feeling inside here that I did outside.
14:40I walk in, these beautiful flowers.
14:43And then there's this.
14:44What happened here?
14:46There were some lids from the roof.
14:48So, the spots will need to be repaired.
14:51And I can't decide about the flooring.
14:53It's nice stuff, but not updated.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Again, I can't decide if I like it.
14:58It's interesting.
14:59I love it.
14:59You love it.
15:04I think it's grandiose.
15:06Grandiose.
15:08Question, Galen.
15:09Why did you send us a tape?
15:18Question, Galen.
15:20Why did you send us a tape?
15:21There's a lot of things that I want to change.
15:23Okay, I'm going to need you to point those things out to me.
15:26That's right.
15:26Because I'm going to be over here talking trash about your house.
15:28That's right.
15:29Okay, work with me.
15:32Where are we?
15:33What's over here by this breeze block?
15:35That's the dining room.
15:36The dining room.
15:37This is interesting.
15:38This is definitely like a 70s style kind of thing.
15:42Yes, and I love antique.
15:44You love it.
15:45What do you want to change?
15:48The carpet.
15:50I don't like the carpet here.
15:51Okay, how about these mirrors?
15:52They can go.
15:54They can go?
15:54They can go.
15:56You want a renovation, right?
15:59Let's go check out the kitchen.
16:01Sure.
16:01Okay.
16:04So some things need to be done.
16:06This kitchen is a triangle.
16:09Interesting.
16:09Different.
16:10Very different.
16:11Unique.
16:12Yes.
16:13Galen is mixing up the word unique with gaudy.
16:18But do you like it?
16:19Um, you know, I would prefer if it was a square.
16:25Yeah.
16:26Hallelujah!
16:27So how do you feel about these cabinets?
16:29These are very old cabinets.
16:30Yeah.
16:31I don't like it.
16:32Look at that.
16:33She don't like the cabinets.
16:35You know what?
16:36I don't like the countertop.
16:37I like this.
16:37Oh, of course you like it.
16:39Of course.
16:42Okay.
16:43Where are we going to head next?
16:44We're going to the patio.
16:45From here, I'm liking what I see.
16:47Let's see if I like it when I get there.
16:49Oh, okay.
16:50Okay.
16:51Whoa, look how big this space is.
16:55It's got the mix of rug and tile.
16:59Yeah, it's a lot of textures.
17:01I don't like the top at all.
17:02You don't like it?
17:03No.
17:04Okay.
17:06I'm going to show you the bathroom.
17:08Okay.
17:09Oh.
17:10Look at this place.
17:11How do we feel about this?
17:13Has to go.
17:14Yeah.
17:16What is this mirror?
17:17It's nine pieces of mirror.
17:19And how do you feel about the cabinets with this countertop and this yellow?
17:26Because there's gray, there's black, there's yellow, there's brown, there's tan, there's
17:31gold, there's silver.
17:34There's a lot.
17:35Yeah.
17:36Now we're going to the sitting area on the back.
17:40This way?
17:40Yes.
17:44Okay.
17:44If you tell me you love this room.
17:49No.
17:50Okay.
17:51I was going to be angry.
17:53Was this like a terrarium?
17:54A fountain, yes.
17:56Oh, geez.
17:57It was beautiful, I think.
18:00It's not beautiful anymore.
18:01It is a hot, it is a oat mess.
18:12H-A-U-T-E.
18:13Thank you for showing me your home.
18:15Oh, my pleasure.
18:16I'm going to wish you good luck.
18:17Thank you very much.
18:18And if you get to the next round, you will hear from me.
18:24Yeah.
18:24Girline.
18:31That was La Reticence du Laide.
18:35The Reluctance of Ugly.
18:37The Appearance is Old.
18:40I mean, Girline may like it.
18:41Many would disagree.
18:43I know I do.
18:45Functionality.
18:46Would have been great for a party in the 70s.
18:48Not today.
18:50The surprise was the juxtaposition of knowing how quality everything is and how it all needs
18:57to go in the trash.
19:01Sorry, New England.
19:03It is what it is.
19:05Our tour through New England-ish gave us three ugly options that didn't disappoint.
19:11But only one will have the chance to receive a well-deserved home makeover.
19:19New England-ish, Regent?
19:21Your name may be made up, but your ugly is as real as it gets.
19:25What is this?
19:26Yeah, right?
19:27I'm nervous.
19:27And while all three contenders were wicked ugly, only one house can move to the finals.
19:35It's between an artsy house, which needs to be turned into a blank canvas.
19:44It's like a cartoon threw up on this wall.
19:47A former church with a grand set of pipes and the holy grail of holes.
19:54What if an animal gets caught back there?
19:56They have.
19:58It was just a snake.
20:00And a large, outdated home with an interior in despair and a homeowner in denial.
20:07It is unique in my eyes.
20:09It is.
20:09And I love the word is.
20:10Caroline is mixing up the word unique with gaudy.
20:16Here we are again on the road.
20:19I'm here to get some people excited that they actually have an ugly house.
20:24Here we go.
20:33Hello.
20:35Hi.
20:35Nicholas and Jennifer.
20:38Congratulations.
20:39You have the ugliest house in the New England-ish region.
20:45No way.
20:45Yes.
20:46So you're that much closer to the renovation.
20:50Oh my gosh.
20:51I can't believe that.
