The show’s concept is simple: The selected houses are architectural nightmares with outdated design and style choices, along with plane and buffy layouts. Retta, the host, guides viewers through everything wrong in the home, from the carpeting to the ceiling, with her dry wit and straight puns.

But laughing and mocking other people's homes isn't what the show is about (although it's a part of the fun). It also has a very heartwarming side.

The winning house, which is the absolute ugliest, is blessed with a complete renovation by the HGTV design star Alison Victoria, with a budget of $150,000. This allows the homeowners to have a fresh start and live in a home they have always dreamed of.

What to Expect in Season 5?

But what can the Ugliest House in America fans expect from this season? Well, according to what happened in the previous seasons, the one guaranteed thing is plenty of laughs.

This is because Retta's observations can turn even the most depressing moments into laugh-out-loud moments. Viewers can also expect to see some horrible houses that they can't even dream of.

Most importantly, the most enjoyable thing to see will be the joy of the winning homeowners as their house gets renovated into their dream home.

With Retta's comedic touch and Victoria's design expertise, Season 5 of Ugliest House in America is guaranteed to be filled with laughs and heartwarming transformations. So get ready to see the ugliest house in America transformed into a showstopper.
