Rock the Block Season 3 featured four tight-knit teams. The reason the pairs this season were so close is that they're actually family.
Egypt Sherrod and husband Mike Jackson from Married to Real Estate arrived with their keen eye for detail.
Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb from the Pacific Northwest aren’t just real estate queens — they’re also twin sisters.
Dave and Jenny Marrs are the husband-and-wife duo from Arkansas who know all about renovating fixer-uppers into fab places to live on their show Fixer to Fabulous.
Bargain Block stars Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas arrived from Detroit with their top-tier building skills. They’ve also been a couple for nine years!
Each dynamic duo did an incredible job throughout Season 3, but only one pair took home the title. "Rock the Block, in the end, is about total appraised value," said host Ty Pennington in the finale. "Appraising your homes in their totality is what matters today ... There is just a $25,000 difference between the value of your four houses."
"Originally, the houses were valued at $500,000 each. Then we gave everybody $225,000 to design and finish the homes," explained judge Drew Scott. "So, all in, the investment is $725,000. Well, I am happy to announce that the winning house was appraised at $931,000."
After analyzing and ogling all of the finished products, the judges crowned Egypt and Mike — who named their home "Destiny" — as the winners of Season 3!
"We were both surprised because I don't think you can tell on TV but our backs [were] slightly turned. So we couldn't tell which house the fireworks were actually going [off]," Egypt told Distractify.
Additionally, the HGTV star revealed that the production team purposefully tried to throw the competitors off by having fireworks go off at different houses prior to filming.
Though the duo may have been surprised that they nabbed the No. 1 spot, it seems being named the winner of Rock the Block was destiny.
