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.
00:12The ugly is back, and it is back with a vengeance.
00:19It's a death row!
00:22It looks like Jabba the Hutt in the corner. Terrible!
00:25What is going on? You're gonna find out.
00:29Yeah!
00:31We've already crowned the most hideous in the Midwest.
00:34I don't even need to, like, point things out. It's all right at you.
00:39The worst of the Great Lakes.
00:42Creepy critters live in the rugs for sure.
00:46I'm afraid to touch the wall.
00:48Mid-Atlantic region, show us what you got.
00:50Nothing for you!
00:52With the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, gorgeous coastlines, and some of the most popular cities in the country, the Mid-Atlantic region is one of a kind.
01:04And now it's time to see if their ugly is, too.
01:07My first stop brings me to a small town in upstate New York called Sherburn.
01:12I am here to meet Naren and Ram and find out if they indeed have the ugliest house in America.
01:20I will say they have the most aggressive front yard.
01:30There are dragons.
01:32It's a lot!
01:33It's Retta!
01:34It is!
01:35So glad to see you!
01:36Hi!
01:37Hi, Purple!
01:38How are you?
01:39We are so excited to show you our ugly house, so come on in!
01:40It's nice to see your ugly house!
01:41I know!
01:42What is happening right here?
01:59And I'm standing on a...
02:00It's a tail!
02:01What is...
02:02You're gonna find out!
02:04I'm Maren, this is Ram, and we bought a house with a dragon staircase.
02:15We didn't look at any normal houses.
02:18We looked at a long list of bizarre properties, and I knew this was gonna be the house.
02:24It just felt like home right away.
02:26But it's become the stuff of nightmares.
02:29The walls are covered in wild paint colors.
02:36There is a giant hole in the floor, and so, so many spiders ran over our heads.
02:42It looked like a beautiful challenge.
02:45I don't know how to do all the things I need to do to fix it.
02:49What is going on?
02:50So many things.
02:52I mean, obviously this is the first thing I see.
02:55It looks like Jabba the Hutt in the corner.
02:57That was a water feature, and when we bought the house, I found out it was leaking on the
03:01electrical panel in the basement down there.
03:03It looks like...
03:05poop!
03:06I just want a floor.
03:09Yeah!
03:10I don't live here, and I just want a floor.
03:13Holy cow.
03:14I don't even know that we need to leave this room.
03:16Where to next?
03:18We're going that way.
03:19It gets better.
03:21This is the bathroom?
03:26Yeah, it was their main bathroom.
03:28This used to be the primary bedroom.
03:31I am dying.
03:33We have a bath where the drain has been tiled over that used to host two turtles and four
03:38live coy.
03:39We rehomed them.
03:40So they turned it into a pond.
03:42Yeah.
03:43I need a minute.
03:44I need a minute.
03:45Take a lot off of the house.
03:48We had to go up.
03:50There was a bidding war?
03:52There was a bidding war.
03:53It was on the market for three days.
03:57What?
03:58You guys, this is madness.
04:01Let's head over to the kitchen.
04:04This does not look like a functional space.
04:07It's not.
04:09Why is this right here?
04:13It's obstructive.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Beautiful wood though.
04:16Yeah.
04:17It's got great woodwork.
04:19That definitely helped sell us on the place.
04:21Yeah.
04:22So the well.
04:23Why is there a well?
04:26Most older houses in this area had one.
04:29There's spiderwebs in here.
04:31What is going on?
04:32The spiders just crawl up from the sub's basement.
04:34When we moved in, I was killing 40 spiders a day.
04:38Let's go upstairs.
04:43Okay.
04:44I can't wait to see the other end of this.
04:46Tail.
04:50It's not for me, but it's interesting.
04:58So this is the guest bedroom.
05:00And I'm guessing it was painted like this before.
05:02Oh, yes.
05:03It's got kind of a post-apocalyptic feeling.
05:05A little bit.
05:06And this is the closet.
05:07Oh.
05:08It's a bathroom.
05:09This is the closest thing to a primary suite.
05:12You'll notice there's a gap around the tub at the top.
05:15Yeah.
05:16When you fill it with water, it sinks about an inch.
05:19I expect that someday I'm going to go plunging down.
05:23And you're going to be very vulnerable when it happens.
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:27Yeah.
05:28I'm not getting in that tub, that's for sure.
05:31The main bedroom.
05:33The new main.
05:34New main bedroom.
05:36First of all, it's a hobbit door.
05:39And then you got to step down into the bedroom.
05:45There are a lot of dragons.
05:50It is legit in here.
05:52Yeah.
05:53What's the spider situation in here?
05:56This is my place of semi-safety.
05:57We hang out in here a lot.
05:59Yeah.
06:00But here, would you like a spider sword?
06:02I'm going to use it to protect myself on the way out.
06:09So, you're one of three semifinalists in the Midland region.
06:12If you move to the next round, you will be that much closer to a $150,000 renovation by Alice and Victoria.
06:21Perfection.
06:22Thank you for showing me your home.
06:24Good luck, guys.
06:29That was spiders and dragons on stairs.
06:32Oh, my.
06:33Appearance.
06:34There are dragons everywhere.
06:36And the main entrance is mainly a bizarre broken water feature with a giant ditch.
06:43Functionally, that kitchen is a mess.
06:46Not only is the oven and stove in the middle of the room, but there's a well filled with spider webs.
06:55The surprise.
06:57They won a bidding war for this house.
06:59I think they kind of love it, if I'm honest.
07:02Wow.
07:04Mid-Atlantic.
07:05You're in the running.
07:08Next up in the Mid-Atlantic region, I'm heading to a quaint little suburb just outside of Philly, Upper Darvey.
07:17For you history buffs out there, you know that Philadelphia was our first nation's capital.
07:22I'm here to meet Justine and see if we can add the title of ugliest house in America to the area's legacy.
07:29I'm guessing it's ugly inside.
07:40Hi, brother.
07:41Hi.
07:42Come on in out of the rain.
07:43Let's go.
07:44These are the scariest steps.
07:46I do apologize.
07:47Pull me in.
07:48I will be.
07:49Okay.
07:50Okay.
07:51Okay.
07:52Okay.
07:53Okay.
07:57Justine.
07:58Hi.
07:59This isn't you.
08:00No.
08:02The person who used to own the home before used to run out to artists.
08:06Okay.
08:07And they kind of made the home their own art collage.
08:11What on earth?
08:22I'm Justine.
08:23I live in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, and I have the ugliest house in America.
08:28On the outside, there's a lot of stairs.
08:30And then you walk in and you're kind of like, what did I walk into?
08:36The previous owner used to let different artists have free reign of the house.
08:40I have bottles just embedded in the walls, broken tile all over the floor.
08:45There are just mirrors and doors everywhere.
08:48It's weird.
08:49I bought this house because it was very spacious.
08:51I knew a lot of stuff were eyesores, but I said, I can fix those later.
08:56Okay.
08:57Justine.
08:58This is your home.
08:59Yes.
09:00We have some stained glass.
09:02And we've got some masking tape still on here.
09:06This is a map of, well, kind of Upper Darby, kind of Mexico, kind of Canada.
09:17Wow.
09:18What's wrong?
09:19There was some incomplete project.
09:20Over here?
09:21Yeah, what is that?
09:22You can take a look.
09:23God.
09:24I don't like just opening doors.
09:26Oh, look at that.
09:27This is a bathroom?
09:28Yes.
09:29You walk into the house, into a bathroom, and it's got a door for a roof of the bathroom.
09:38This is something.
09:39Yeah.
09:40I can't ever say that I've seen a door used as a drop ceiling before.
09:45Who knew?
09:46Let's go see the rest.
09:48This is the living room slash dining room.
09:51Oh, look.
09:52We've got a kiddie condo.
09:53We've got an office.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Woo.
09:56Hello, mirrors.
09:58It's on the brick.
10:00Yeah.
10:02Wowzers.
10:05That is extra.
10:08So next, we can go to the kitchen.
10:11All right.
10:16What is this?
10:18Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere.
10:25My favorite part of the house.
10:28Justine!
10:29This is your favorite.
10:31It's all ugly.
10:32I will admit.
10:33It's taking up too much space.
10:34Too much?
10:35Is there...
10:37Too much?
10:38It's like layers of resin with coins and bills from different countries and tarot cards and trash.
10:48There's some storage.
10:54There's a better way to do this.
10:55I know.
10:58The kitchen is a hot mess.
11:00Okay.
11:01Can I go in there?
11:02Yes, suddenly.
11:03Take a look.
11:06It is a mix-matched space.
11:11Are those bottles in the wall?
11:13Yes.
11:15Perfume.
11:16Yes.
11:17Let's see what's over here.
11:19Yeah.
11:20So if you ever want to grill.
11:21Oh.
11:22My.
11:23Good.
11:24I have never.
11:26Me either.
11:28Me either.
11:29By the way, this is not stained glass.
11:32No.
11:33I can't believe she let me believe that that was stained glass for so long.
11:36We have some stained glass.
11:39It's stained plastic.
11:42Okay.
11:43Where are we at next?
11:44Downstairs.
11:45Okay.
11:46To the basement.
11:47This is mirror city.
11:51What is going on down here?
11:53There's so many doors.
11:55That's part of their decor is the doors.
11:57Yes.
11:58Why so many doors?
12:01Doors on the ceiling, doors on the walls.
12:04No rooms.
12:05Just doors.
12:07I definitely want to change this space.
12:09I'm not going to lie about that.
12:11I want to change it.
12:12Bathroom is nice.
12:14She just said the bathroom is nice.
12:16Let me go check.
12:21You guys.
12:23It is nonsense in here.
12:26It is.
12:30Is that a beehive?
12:31Yeah.
12:32As decor.
12:33Mm-hmm.
12:34Bottles.
12:35Is there a method to the madness?
12:37There is no method.
12:38It's just madness.
12:39Okay.
12:40One more thing I want you to see in the garage.
12:41Oh, okay.
12:42Turn over here.
12:45And in here.
12:46What are we doing?
12:47I hate them.
12:48I'm so mad at them.
12:49Yeah.
12:50Ugh.
12:51Keep asking for your visitors.
12:52Because your house gives me a headache.
12:53Thank you for showing me your home.
12:54I am going to make my way out of here because it makes me dizzy.
12:58Appreciate you.
12:59You too.
13:00That was the collage barrage.
13:01Oh, yeah.
13:02Oh, yeah.
13:03Oh, yeah.
13:04What are we doing?
13:05What are we doing?
13:06I hate them.
13:07I'm so mad at them.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Ugh.
13:10Keep asking for your visitors.
13:11Because your house gives me a headache.
13:12Thank you for showing me your home.
13:13I am going to make my way out of here because it makes me dizzy.
13:16Appreciate you.
13:17You too.
13:18That was the collage barrage.
13:27The appearance is a giant collage of randomness.
13:32And everywhere you turn, there's something that makes no sense.
13:35Why?
13:36Functionally, in the kitchen, that middle table, too big.
13:41And nobody's going to want to use those bathrooms, even with their unique drop ceilings.
13:46The surprise is they actually put bottles and concrete up.
13:51They thought that was cute.
13:53It ain't.
13:54Mid-Atlantic.
13:56Mid-Atlantic.
13:57You're a mess.
13:59For the last stop on our tour of the Mid-Atlantic, we're going to head north to New York's Hudson
14:04Valley to the village of Goshen.
14:07Located 50 miles outside of New York City, the small town of Goshen is home to the oldest
14:14horse racing track still in use in the U.S.
14:17I'm here to meet Brian and Merrick.
14:20I'm also here to judge their home.
14:26Better be ugly on the inside.
14:28Go to the U.S.
14:29The city of Goshen restoration, Unlimited.
14:30Stork, destination.
14:31Hey, Reda.
14:32Hi.
14:33Welcome.
14:34How are you?
14:35Apparently, you have an ugly house.
14:36I have to say, not from the outside.
14:37Well, you'll have to see it for yourself.
14:38Come on in.
14:39Hey, Retta.
14:40Hi.
14:41Welcome.
14:42How are you?
14:43Apparently, you have an ugly house.
14:45I have to say, not from the outside.
14:47Well, you'll have to see it for yourself.
14:49Come on in.
14:50All right.
14:51Well, we have some lovely tile.
14:54I saw outside there's like a restoration plaque.
14:58So the former owner, the Historic Preservation Society,
15:01gave him an award for doing the preservation on the outside.
15:04But the inside is a little bit...
15:07Eccentric.
15:09Different, yeah.
15:20My name is Brian.
15:21This is my brother, Merrick.
15:22We live in Gosha, New York, and an eccentric Victorian.
15:25And we both love old houses.
15:27So the moment we walked in the door,
15:28I think we both really fell in love with it.
15:30We were drawn to the quirkiness,
15:32and there's a lot of history that you can see within it.
15:35The previous owner lived here for about 50 years.
15:38He was very involved with Broadway set design,
15:42so you can see that throughout the house.
15:44There's a lot of crazy stuff going on here.
15:47I do see the rug in that room.
15:50All right, let's, let's hit the rug room.
15:52Yeah, let's go.
15:53Wowzer.
15:54I love a chandelier.
15:55This works a lot.
15:56Yeah.
15:57I mean, it kind of has a disco ball hanging down.
15:58It does!
15:59Spotlight on David.
16:00Yeah.
16:01David, it's your time to shine.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Okay.
16:04What else are we going to see?
16:05Why don't we head across the hall?
16:06Okay.
16:07Look at this rug.
16:13This one is so weird, I like it.
16:18The walls, however.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:20There's something behind there.
16:21Wallpaper or something.
16:22Yeah, I didn't realize.
16:23I actually never noticed that.
16:24He was extra.
16:25What's next?
16:26Next is in the bathroom, right down the hall.
16:28Ooh.
16:29Oh.
16:30Oh.
16:31Oh.
16:32Oh.

16:47Oh.
16:48Oh, oh.
16:49Look at this bathroom.
16:51This is a lot.
16:53A little awkwardly designed from like the functional part.
16:57Yeah.
16:58It's very difficult to maneuver in here.
17:01It's Victorian-esque.
17:03It's Victorian-like.
17:05It's Victorian-ish.
17:08It's Victorian-ski.
17:11We'll go upstairs.
17:13Okay.
17:16this is on this landing that's the worst cherub that way whoa wow look at this wallpaper yeah

19:06surprise the attic every bit of it upstairs was like hello hello hello hello here i am aggressive the mid
19:16mid-atlantic is really showing off its goods so many goods the mid-atlantic wasn't so mid when it came
19:26to ugly but only one can be chosen as the ugliest in the region

19:39okay okay okay it's a lot and while all three contenders kept the ugly coming only one house can
19:47move to the finals mid-atlantic you're a mess it's between a spider-filled dragon's lair with a water
19:56feature that's more like a bottomless pit it looks like jabba the hut in the corner an art collage of
20:03madness where showing someone the door takes on a whole new meaning what is going on down here
20:09and a theatrical victorian with an interior that's over dramatic i mean you can host a rent fair up
