HGTV star Scott McGillivray said that he was looking forward to working with Bryan Baeumler on a new project.
It all started on Instagram, where Baeumler promoted his new show, “Renovation Resort Showdown.”
“I was asked (begged) if I wanted (contractually obligated) to join @scott_mcgillivray last Summer and stay in a mansion (van down by the river) for 2 Months (seemed like forever) to help out (do everything for him),” Baeumler wrote on July 23.
“And this is the story (heavily edited) of what happened,” the “Renovation Island” star added. “The LEAST you could do, is watch!! 🙏🏼😂.”
In the comments section under the post, McGillivray talked bout their major undertaking.
“I’m so happy that we got to take on this huge project together(no one else was available),” the real estate investor said. “It was so great to work with you (network-approved response). What a great experience (for you!).”
Before the show’s premiere, McGillivray posted behind-the-scenes photos of he and Baeumler while “Renovation Resort Showdown” was being filmed.
“It’s the Scott/Bryan photo dump you didn’t ask for, but sometimes, you just gotta free up some phone memory, right?😆,” he said.
The Canadian real estate moguls are working on a new competition show together, called “Renovation Resort Showdown,” where Baeumler hires “four contractor and designer duos” to remodel waterfront cabins at McGillivray’s “newly-purchased lakeside resort,” according to HGTV.
The winner walks away with a $100,000 prize, and McGillivray and Baeumler serve as the show’s judges and hosts.
