02:39we live in Payne'sville Ohio with our kids in a cave house the house was commissioned by a family

07:20change I'm gonna wish you good luck and I'm going to leave here in the hopes of not seeing your toads
07:28this is bedrock bedlam do I have to say anything about the appearance it's a concrete cave full of
07:41cracks holes and deadly features hanging from the ceiling where would you find function in this thing
07:47nothing works the only way this house functions is as a playground for kids the surprise there's
07:55chickens luckily I didn't see frogs the Midwest has got me shook next in the Midwest I'm gonna see if a
08:05small town has some big ugly I'm making my way to central Ohio to a village called Glenford I'm here to

08:24a bank hi Rhett welcome Lissy and Cory living in the Bank of Glenford yes that is us okay let's go inside
08:43well today that's a bank lobby like no changes I'm Lissy and this is my husband Cory we live in Glenford
09:00Ohio and we live in a bank we were searching for homes and this was a weird cool house so we just
09:07decided to buy it we're very short-term thinkers it was impulsive a couple months after moving in we
09:13realized it wasn't quite functional the rooms are a little weird we don't really have closet space we
09:19have a bank teller desk it was cool at first but now it's annoying so your foyer is in the round great
09:29wood and it's got some stained glass architecturally it's pretty cool not functional but cool we have
09:38fun of the bank thing is this where you fill out your deposit slips yep wait am I seeing through it
09:44yeah oh snap yeah I can see it out there oh my god that's hilarious I want to see this that was the
09:52first public phone in Glenford Stonehenge 314 but it doesn't work not even a plant just the lobby
10:04is this like a teller space I'm here to cash my check one million dollars I'll have it in 10 minutes
10:14please oh I can check the safe for you see if we have that oh my god I just realized the safe is
10:18there's a safe okay we definitely have to look at that we can go around this way
10:24oh this is where the cash was were there ever any bank robberies here so not that we know of but
10:32our vents still have burglar bars in them but that vent is so tiny what are they setting it down there
10:38little monkeys two pancies to come rub the place
10:43what's behind this door that's our bedroom it's our only bedroom
10:48this is a weird space now I'm not really as into the space of your bedrooms right here but I
10:55need to see inside the safe oh geez Louise oh it's like a Russian doll
11:05so this space was the safe mm-hmm I thought it was probably just gonna be like a storage space
11:16no full bathroom I mean this is the thing you gotta get rid of that because if I'm here hanging out
11:24having drinks then I have to go to the bathroom like it oh geez I gotta go through all through those doors
11:28where to next we're gonna go to the kitchen
11:33oh my gosh I can see from here the kitchen is smaller than the foyer well that's not fair
11:41no that's so weird that this sink is in the corner
11:44it's awful it is the most inconvenient thing ever water goes everywhere that's a pain in the neck
11:49you want to go downstairs yeah let's go downstairs
11:52it's a stairway to a toilet yeah that's our throwing toilet
12:03okay let's go in the game room so the second bedroom is downstairs
12:10that was this they call this giant space the bedroom mm-hmm the guest room yes I want to be the
12:20guest what's that short door where are all those all those doors I just realized they're all short
12:25half of them are just little rooms oh weird I'm sorry this is dumb uh-huh
12:32you buy a place like this you can bank on it suck it they need to cash out what are banking words other
12:41the deposit in the bathroom
12:46now you said it
12:47thank you for showing me your home I'm going to wish you good luck thanks for coming thanks for coming out if I do visit this is where I'll stay
12:56that was the bank of bamboozlement
13:03appearance wise it looks like a bank you've got a lobby complete with areas for bank tellers and a spot
13:11to write checks functionality the kitchen is terrible those doors to get into the bathroom nightmare it has
13:18a lot of useless space the surprise how dare you call that entire basement a guest bedroom ridiculous
13:26I gotta say when it comes to being ugly this place is money
13:30for our next stop in the Midwest we travel to a town just outside of Akron Ohio known as Copley Township
13:40I'm here to meet Shannon she thinks she has the ugliest house in America it's interesting huh
13:48hi it's so nice to meet you can we talk about the house yeah let's go about here yeah so I'm curious
14:04when you walk up I'm Shannon I live in Copley Ohio in a house that looks like a 1980s pizza joint I
14:21wanted something non-traditional and every time I would drive past this one I would say that's the
14:27one the previous owner built this property based on one of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes just the style
14:33the architecture of it it was like nothing I'd ever seen before but living in it is hard I have a
14:40love-hate relationship with my house I want to love it but right now I hate it oh Jesus yeah
14:50there's not a very wide opening there whoa it's mid-century marvelous lots of wood it's lots of brick
15:02wow they kept the bricklayers paid
15:09are you using the little crevices to store little tchotchkes you had to use them for something besides
15:17collecting dust it's such a weird long seating you can only have a conversation with the person next
15:25next to you yeah I mean because you can you even put a TV up there no my TVs around the corner on an
15:31easel in order to watch TV we have to swing the television around this way and then we take these
15:38chairs and table so they're facing this direction oh boy no yeah hard pass where are we off today let's go
15:45this way okay oh my goodness first of all the different brick cracks me up this is the smallest
15:59kitchen ever and a big giant bridge right in the middle of the room so it's like if you're standing
16:04like this in the fridge nobody can get past not a lot of workspace no it's definitely way too small
16:12you can't make a whole pizza in there I want to show you what's behind the kitchen okay okay let's go
16:18this way okay so we're going down this hallway are we wow it's tight like my my arms hit each side 100%
16:31touching both walls is this a bathroom I'm I'd rather lose the bathroom and have a bigger kitchen if it
16:41for me yeah yeah head on down the angled steps I got a little vertigo at the top of those steps
16:56guess what the steps did oh my gosh I'm gonna fall down these steps
17:07okay okay oh boy
17:12this brick
17:16it's kind of a wannabe bathtub you gotta
17:21yep get a leg in there this is work to get in okay let's go that way the very end of the hall
17:31okay I feel like the curtains are going to open and a performance is going to happen
17:39what is this murder corner this is a fireplace but doesn't work and it's like stub your toe in the
17:49middle of the night it's so close to the bed I'd be fearful and to the door something would spark
17:54catch my bed on fire so what room is this oh go on oh look at that
18:04it's the ensuite without a door you sit on the toilet and you can look in the mirror and there's
18:12somebody's in there they can see you I have a poo with a view too I can see you can you see me I can
18:20see you they should put like a special kind of mirror so you can't they should just put a door
18:27poo with a view thank you for showing me your home thank you for coming it is lovely and weird
18:35thank you I'm gonna wish you good luck and then I'm gonna make my way up all right okay all right
18:42it's the third little pigs brick house appearance-wise this house is nothing but
18:50bricks and wood too many bricks not enough drywall functionally there's a tiny kitchen
18:56and tiny appliances can't prep food there's not enough counter space and a brick shower
19:02slash tub in one bathroom and an open layout in the other there were two surprises the narrowness
19:09of the hallway and the shifted stairs to go to your bedroom Midwest that was a sturdy choice the
19:21Midwest was full of houses with hard rock hard brick and too many bricks but only one will have a
19:28chance at that rockin home renovation Midwest there was nothing middle of the road when it came to
19:36your ugly while all three contenders were ugly enough to give America's heartland a heart attack
19:41only one house can move on to the finals it's between a concrete cave that's a dream come true for
19:48children and a nightmare for adults where do we go from here a former bank with a bathroom at a Fort Knox
19:55and a basement that will give you a run for your money you buy a place like this you can bank on it
20:01sucking they need to cash out and a house that resembles an old pizza restaurant and gives the term brick and
20:09mortar new meaning you gotta get a leg in there once again I get to tell some lucky homeowners they are the
20:19ugliest house in their region it's my favorite here we go
20:26Alex and Brandon hi um guess what you have the ugliest house in the middle west
20:42between your home's cavernous appearance and rocky function you're ugly left the others in the dust
20:52oh my gosh if you move to the next round you'll be that much closer to getting that renovation
21:00that would be amazing yes so I'm gonna wish you luck if you do move on you'll hear from me
21:06thank you so much well done bedrock bedlam your cave dwelling was a sinkhole of ugly but is it ugly
21:13enough to take it all the way there's still more ugly houses to see they have a boat aye aye captain
21:20what is this house bring me to your leader oh it's kitschy great lakes hate lakes
