Ep 4. Guest Who's Coming?

Beach Flip season 1 episode 4, titled "Guest Who's Coming?" focuses on the four teams competing against each other for a chance to win a beachfront property of their own. The episode starts with the contestants receiving their new challenge from mentor David Bromstad, who reveals that they must design a guest suite for their respective beach houses. The challenge includes designing the space, furniture, and decor, and installing the final product within a 24-hour timeframe.

The four teams, each composed of two renovators and designers, approach the challenge in different ways. Some teams focus on creating a luxurious feel, while others opt for a more laid-back and earthy vibe. The teams also face challenges such as finding the right furniture and decor to fit their aesthetic and dealing with construction issues such as faulty plumbing and electrical wiring.

As the day progresses, the teams struggle to complete their designs within the allotted 24-hour time frame. With only hours left until the deadline, tempers start to flare as each team strives to finish their suites on time and within budget. The contestants work tirelessly through the night to finish their designs, tired but determined to impress the judges.

When the judges arrive the next day, they are impressed with the quality of work the teams have produced. However, they also find some areas of improvement in each suite. Some have design flaws, while others may be over-manipulated or too cluttered. The judges analyze each suite, paying attention to the details of the design, including color coordination, furniture choice, wall decor, and lighting. They also take note of the functionality of each suite.

After careful consideration, the judges score each suite based on their individual criteria, leaving one team to be eliminated from the competition. The remaining teams breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate their success, while the eliminated team leaves the show with a sense of disappointment.

Overall the episode is entertaining and engaging, providing viewers with insight into the creative and designing process that goes into renovating and transforming a property. The challenges faced by the contestants, and their ability to work through them under tight deadlines, adds an extra layer of interest to the show. The judge's commentary provides valuable feedback to contestants, allowing them to improve and learn from their mistakes. The viewer is also left with a sense of suspense as they try to figure out which team will win the competition and secure the ultimate prize of their very own beach house.
