It's the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge.
[Ashley] Three weeks ago, eight teams
of HGTV andfood network super stars,
the largest group ever assembled,
gathered to build a real-life barbie dream house.
Just in time for the blockbuster movie, Barbie.
In week one, Jasmine and Antonia's
1960s kitchen and family room
went up against Egypt and Mike's
bright, bold, 1990s inspired
entry, living, and dining rooms.
And the judges chose...
Jasmine and Antonia.
[Ashley] In week two,
John and Christina's glamorous 1980s bedroom suite
was bested by Ty and Allison's 1970s
disco-inspired Ken's den.
Game on, guys.
It's on.
[Ashley] Week three brought the competition outside.
Where Keith and Evan's pastel 1990s
front exterior was just outdone
by Brian and Mika's Y2K backyard paradise.
And tonight, it's our final, epic, head to head battle.
Christina on the coast.
Christina Hall and James Bender
versesLuxe For Less' Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle.
Only one will earn a spot in the pink carpet finale.
Where they will join the other three finalist teams.
And the party guests will vote which Barbie-ripic space
is dreamiest of them all.
And the winner of the Barbie Dreamhouse Challengeis...
[Anthony] Oh, this is incredible.
-[James] I love it. -[Christina] It really is.
Oh, my God.
I love the flamingos.
-[Christina] For me, it's the handle though. -[James] Yeah.
[car honks]
[Ashley] Hey, guys.
Is that Ashley?
-Well, hello HGTV stars. -[all] Hello.
-Hi, Ashley. -What's up, Ashley?
[Ashley] Sorry I was late.
There was so much traffic on the tiny 405.
-The tiny. -Always.
We're just down to the last two spaces in the house.
Barbie's dream closet and dressing room.
-[Michel exclaims] -[Anthony] Mmm.
Against the place where all of Barbie's careers operate from,
the home office.
These pink prints will reveal
which of these spaces that you're gonna be transforming this week.
-I know what I want. -[all laughs]
Here you go, Christina and James.
And here you go, Michel and Anthony.
-Aw, thank you, Ashley. -You're welcome.
-[Christina gasps and exclaims in excitement] -[laughs]
[Christina] The dream closet to me is everything.
This is the one we wanted,
because Barbie is all about fashion.
Like, my favorite part of Barbie was getting her dressed up.
[Anthony] Yay! We wanted the closet space.
They got it. So now that you got what you wanted,
-you better make it work. -You better deliver.
-Listen... -We're never afraid of competition.
We want them to be good,
'cause it'll make our win that much sweeter.
We're coming for that pink carpet finale.
So all the previous teams had to be inspired by only one decade
in the 60-year history of the Barbie dream house.
But in this final week,
-you will have all the decades at your disposal. -[Michel] 'Kay.
Past, present, and future,
in what we're calling,
the best of Barbie.
Okay.
[Ashley] While Barbie's had over 250 careers,
the dream house has never had a proper office.
So you have the challenge of pioneering the very first, in Barbie history.
No pressure.
The dressing room's biggest challenge
will be pairing down the great fashion options
of her massive and story closet.
Good luck figuring out what to feature
and how to present them.
-Can't wait. -Yes.
Remember, you'll also need to include
a toyetic feature.
Mmm.
[Ashley] Each team is going to be competing
on behalf of a big-time Barbie fan at home.
And remember, only one of your spaces is gonna be chosen,
to move on to the pink carpet finale,
in just seven days.
-Seven days? -Are you serious?
Then, one of our four final spaces
will be chosen as the dreamiest.
And if that's your space,
your fan will win a vacation here in the Barbie dream house.
-Wow. -Sweet.
And, the winning team will earn a charity donation in your name,
to save the children.
-[Michel] That's sweet. -Aw. Love that.
[Ashley] Also, both teams will have support staff to help you build.
And you'll have design assistance
to help source items.
I cannot wait to see what you guys come up with.
So, get to work.
-[James] Thanks, Ashley. -Thank you.
-Thank you, Ashley. -[Michel] Bye.
Buh-bye.
-[Christina] We are definitely taking the win. -We are.
We have double the energy,
-double the ambition. -Double the knowledge.
-Exactly. -And the drive and the determination,
to make it to the pink carpet finale at the end of this.
So, Michel and Anthony, buh-bye.
Okay. So right now we've got,
you know, a '90s style bedroom
with some carpet and basic colors.
But, this is a big room for a closet.
-Honestly, Barbie is about clothes and shoes. -Yeah.
What did you do first thing when you took her out?
-Pick her outfit, of course. -Exactly.
-And then you took it off and put another on. -Yes.
-And you just kept doing it. -Yes.
This is the room for that. Oh, yes.
So we need to fill it up.
So James and I have collectively remodeled
hundreds of houses.
And a lot of the houses we do,
they kind of want the same thing.
So for me, this is a dream come true.
Because I wanna be able to step outside the box
and do something incredible.
And when it comes to decor,
James and I both love pulling from different eras.
So this to us is just perfection.
Obviously get rid of the carpet.
Maybe wood flooring.
James, I wanna see like, shoes on display.
-All the generations. -Yes.
-[Christina] Floor to ceiling. -Maybe we can have a showcase wall.
Where we have one cubby for each decade of full outfit.
[Christina] I love that.
What are you thinking, like color wise?
-[James] I think different shades of pink. -Yeah.
[James] We can do a crazy wallpaper on the ceiling.
And what'd you think we should do in that closet?
[James] What if we made that door bigger
and we made a full-on beverage center?
-[Christina] I love that. -Colorful drinks.
-Over the top, yes. -Glassware.
-Barbie needs a beverage when she's getting ready. -Absolutely.
[Michel laughs]
-Be careful. -Don't fall.
That room is tiny.
And yeah, we have past, present, and future
in the smallest room in the house.
I like that we have a archway.
Just coming through the archway brings me a little joy.
We got window.
-[Michel] That helps with space. -Definitely.
[Michel] Natural light.
Okay, two positives.
Listen, our room is small.
It's gonna be a small office.
But, we've learned how to make that shine on Luxe For Less.
We know how to make a small room
feel like a beautiful jewel box
that you wanna stay in forever.
[Michel] We want you to have a luxury, tactile, emotional experience,
but we also have a story to tell.
We always bring the influence of fashion
into whatever we're doing.
You know, I've solely operated in the DIY
in fashion couture space.
So that's what makes us such a powerful team.
We have the influence of couture
and interior design coming into the same space.
Michel, I always play with Barbie dolls.
For a long time, I couldn't play with Barbies.
My childhood was not exactly Barbie-friendly.
I think that's why I'm so excited about designing for Barbie.
[Anthony] We have to address what she needs.
She needs a desk.
I want the desk to be over scaled.
I know this is a small room,
but, like, something about a big statement
in a tiny room, I love.
We've gotta create a toyetic feature.
Maybe we could incorporate, like an aquarium into the desk.
[Anthony] Oh, that'd be incredible.
She's gonna need book.
[Michel] I think one of the ways we create more space
is if we take out book cases all the way up to the ceiling.
[Anthony] A fabric covered wall possibly on this side.
[Michel] The predictable route is to use bold, bright pink.
But that's just not us.
So let's go with a more sophisticated and subtle pink.
And on the book shelves, we can add tons of iconic barbie items
to represent her past.
As for the present and the future,
got to figure that out later.
Hell, yeah.
Remember like, when you would go to the store?
And they had those Barbies
that like, came in, like, the beautiful box.
-[James] Oh, the cellophane front? -Yes.
-It's like a window you can see.
-Oh, yes. -Yeah, I wanna put Barbie's best dress
-on full display. -Oh, nice.
-[Christina] The life size Barbie box. -I love that idea.
The judges are gonna be judging us
on past, present, and future of Barbie.
So, past...
Vintage clothing.
Vintage dress in the Barbie box.
[Christina] For the present, I'm hoping we'll find some inspiration
when we visit the dream studio.
And the future is a work in progress.
So this toyetic feature, what do you think?
There's only one thing, that like, just comes to mind.
And it's one of my favorite movies.
-You know Clueless? -Of course.
-Okay. You know what Cher has in her closet? -Oh, gosh.
And it's all like, spinnin'.
-And then she can, like, pull from the rack. -That's it. That's it.
We find a deep corner,
-so that we can project it out. -Yes.
This is a lot riding down us.
-I do not like to lose. -It is.
I don't either.
Can we open this wall maybe?
Like, if we put a hole in this wall, with French doors,
out till like, a courtyard or something.
-[Anthony] That's nice. -That could be a lot of fun.
-If we can get this open? -If we can get this open.
Would you have Barbie's number?
'Cause I wanna call and ask her, "Can we bust through this wall?"
[all exclaims]
All right.
[chuckles] Don't worry about it, babe.
[James] Yep.
This is comin' up pretty easy. How you doing over there?
[sighs]
-Got it. -Oh, God.
-[Ashley] Christina and James. -[Christina] Hi.
[Ashley] I have a little surprise for you.
-[Christina gasps] Oh, my God. -Wow.
Okay. So this is 2012 pink and pantone Barbie.
-[Ashley vocalizes] -[James] Amazing.
Barbie is such a legend,
that she has her own official pantone color pink.
Can I touch it?
-Wow. -She's my twin.
-[laughs] Yes, you can touch her. -You're both beautiful.
-Oh, my God. -Okay. So she's hopefully going to inspire
your past, present, future
of Barbie closet.
I'll get this color.
-We have to use it. -Yeah. We have to step it up.
[Christina] It's perfect, too, because it's the same color as a Barbie box.
And we're making a life-size version to go in here.
[gasps]
-Shh. Do not tell anyone our secret. -Yes.
So excited about that color.
We're pretty lucky.
Like, that is the perfect color pink.
I can't wait to see what the closet looks like.
-Good luck. -Thank you.
-Thanks, Ashley. -Thank you for the inspiration.
Boy, I love that color.
-[Anthony] All right. -Okay, Anthony.
Let's find out if we can open up this wall.
Because I want some French doors.
Let's just break through the dry wall and see what's behind it.
[Anthony] Oh, yes. I've not really decided how I'm gonna swing.
Let's make these French doors. Let's go.
[both grunts]
[Anthony] Your holes are so much more bigger than mine.
-I'mma go again. -I got more reasons to work out.
[Anthony screams] Okay.
Ow.
-Am I hittin' a beam? -Anthony, wait. This sounds solid.
[Anthony] It is.
[Michel] Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You see that? There's plyboard back there.
You see that? We should be looking at the exterior material.
If this is structural, we're in trouble.
Scott!
Is everyone okay?
[Anthony] What is that?
-That's a shear wall. -Mmm.
You don't go through it.
[Anthony] What is that?
-That's a shear wall. -Mmm.
You don't go through it.
I don't know what you had planned.
A French door.
Yeah. It's not happening.
We were not planning on having to edit this soon.
And now we got to pivot.
Okay, well, Michel, uh...
It's a design problem. I'll figure it out.
I can't do nothing that's in here.
So I'm gonna go do some shopping.
We need fabric for the walls.
[Michel] Go and get that fabric.
[Anthony] Okay, I'll be back.
[Ashley] Michel.
This is so pretty.
I know right? The studio.
This is the inspiration station.
-How are you doing? -I'm obsessed with what's happening here though.
Well... I'm playin'.
-Oh. -Oh, you can help. This is a perfect timing.
-Okay. Perfect. I'm here. -You're a business woman. What's in your office?
I like to look at my accomplishments.
AKA all the covers.
[both laugh]
-Those are your trophies, right? -Yes.
You know, you wanna be inspired by what you've already done.
We have past, present, and future Barbie.
Just so many milestones.
There is presidential Barbie,
vice-presidential Barbie,
day-to-night Barbie, and astronaut Barbie.
But there's also, doctor Barbie.
♪ There's the doctor and the cutest patient ♪
♪ Isn't she sweet? ♪
[Michel] Olympic gymnast Barbie.
♪ Can she win? ♪
♪ With her magic tumbling ring, yes! ♪
[Michel] And even a rockstar Barbie.
♪ Barbie and the rockers ♪
♪ Rocking' out with Music in her heart ♪
And we're talking about a 12x12 space.
[Ashley] You have a lot of choices for sure.
But remember...
Barbie's been a boss in many ways over the years.
And I just feel like she deserves an office that's fit for the boss that she is.
There's so many Barbies.
I've got this cool idea.
The binds on the books...
We can do Barbies of the past.
Oh, my God, I'm obsessed.
Because that's like my covers.
-But that Barbies are on the books. -Exactly.
And it also feels like a boss.
-Have you talked to your fan about this yet? -Not yet.
Okay. 'Cause, I mean, they're gonna have a lot of input.
-I know. -And they know literally everything about Barbie.
Hopefully they have some good advice.
You just made my day.
-Oh, I know you got this. -Yeah.
-I'm gonna leave you to it. -All right.
Thank you for all the inspiration you brought,
my life-size Barbie.
[vocalizes]
-Okay. [kisses]. Bye. -Okay. See you soon.
[Christina] We're starting off the week strong.
We have paint on the walls.
But before we get too far,
we need to get some input
from our Barbie fan.
[gasps]
-This is amazing. -This is more than amazing.
-The 2023 Barbie dream house. -2023. Look at this.
Look at all the levels.
-Oh, my God. -James,
they brought back the swing and chair.
Swing and chair. Amazing.
[Christina] Oh, look at the closet.
[James] Oh, look. And the dress is on display.
This is what we were talking about.
Instead of stacking them,
they're facing out.
James, I'm so excited.
Because we were already talking about having clothes and shoes on display.
And that's exactly what this dream closet has.
So that will represent the present in our dressing room closet.
Push that button.
Hello, my name is Sonya Larson.
I am from Olathe, Kansas.
I am a president of a non-profit
that helps student athletes become pro in life.
I have approximately 500 Barbies.
Barbie to me is everything.
She got her own job.
She got her own car. She got her own crib.
Like, she was the person that I ever thought
that I could be any and everything.
I always have Barbies on hand,
-to give little girls that can't afford Barbie. -Aw.
I just want everybody to feel how I feel when we look at Barbie.
-I love... -Oh, my gosh.
-She's amazing. -That was so great.
-Do you wanna meet her? -Yeah. Let's call her.
Okay. All right. So excited.
Hi. How are you?
[both] Hi, Sonya.
Hi, Christina and James. Hey, how are you guys?
We're great. It's so nice to meet you.
You have the best Barbie collection I have ever seen.
How did you start collecting these and when?
When I was a little girl,
I could never find a Black Barbie.
So when I turned 16, I said to myself,
I never want my little girl
to ever go through what I went through
not being able to find a doll.
So I just started buying them.
And, here we are,
now with over 500.
[James] That's pretty impressive.
Whenever a little girl comes over,
and sees my collection, they always want one.
So I keep a few to give away.
[Christina] That's amazing.
So, James and I
have the space of Barbie's dream closet.
The best part of the whole house.
Can you help us? Like, what are some things that you would love to see in there?
'Cause we want to win this for you.
Definitely have a nice sitting area.
A lot of times, our friends are with us.
I think we've gotta make sure the accessories
-are on display. -[whispers] Yes.
I know you guys are gonna do great.
-We're gonna win this for you. -I can't wait.
-Bye, guys. -[both] Bye.
-Wonderful meeting you. -Nice meeting you.
This is a lot of pressure.
Because we have a true Barbie fan
and we need to win this for her.
We will win this for her.
-You ready? -I'm ready. Let's go.
-[Michel] Anthony? -Yes.
[Michel] Did you notice that our hole is patched
from our last visit here?
-Oh, it is. -Yeah, it's back.
Life is full of challenges in designs.
Our job is to always have a solution.
What do you think about the future element of our room?
I feel like nothing speaks of the future more than technology.
Fire.
I'm already thinking it's a device,
a TV.
-[Michel] I see the screen being a cool thing. -Mmm-hmm.
But, where to put it? It's a small room.
You put everything on the wall.
I'm thinking we might have to go attack the ceiling this time.
Barbie's dream house has always been
influenced by tech.
[Michel] Manual first, then battery operated.
And now, even smart home features,
like lights, flushing toilets.
Barbie's always been on the cutting edge of everything.
You remember on Luxe For Less, when we had the lift?
-[woman gasps] No, you did not. -Oh, my God.
-What if we did the opposite and it came down? -Oh.
We're the go big or go home, kind of guys.
It's like, one toyetic feature is expected,
we go beyond expectations.
We can have it come down.
-And land on this wall. -Mmm-hmm.
[Michel] So it would rest up there,
and go back up when we don't need it.
When you don't need. And it's not taking up any unnecessary space.
That is definitely technology. That's definitely the future.
-And it's great solution for a small space. -Yes, it is.
[Christina] Our cabinets and built-ins are going in today.
Which are really important for our vision of Barbie's dressing room closet.
To be able to showcase certain outfits,
shoes and bags and accessories throughout
all the generations...
Time to get some personality in this space.
Wallpaper is tricky to work with, right?
'Cause I feel like people either have
a love or hate relationship with it.
So choosing the right wallpaper is crucial.
So this one, I really think reflects that Barbie color...
-I do, too. -...that actually brought in for us.
And it's a very similar pattern
to the outfit that Roman Holiday Barbie from 1959 wore.
Oh, my God. This is beautiful.
And imagine the ceiling.
We want wallpaper on the ceiling,
because it's not what you typically see.
We want bold.
I think we really need objects on the ceiling.
I mean, let's see if we... I think we might have something with objects.
-Okay. -Wow.
[Christina] Yeah, this is a little wild.
[James] Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
-This is what I'm talking about. -Is it fun?
It's float-- Look at... These are floating.
So if you looked up,
-there's so much negative space with the white... -Yes.
...that these look like they're floating.
-It's not making you dizzy? -It's not. No.
-Okay. -Look at it with this.
-[Christina] Oh, yeah. -Perfect.
Okay, so now that we have some of the built-ins in,
I'm kind of worried that we don't have
the space for the clueless dress carousel.
We don't really. Because they'd have to project out from the cabinets.
-Right. -That means the closet would too.
And it would be taking up the space around here.
And it could go here, but,
I really still think more important is really showcasing
a real Barbie gown right here in the Barbie box.
I agree.
Just might not be possible.
♪ Happy house Maybe we'll be covered... ♪
I'm kind of worried that we don't have
-the space for the clueless dress carousel. -I agree.
There has to be a way where we can still incorporate something
that's on a track with a push of a button,
something arrives.
Well, it is open all the way up there.
-Maybe it's Barbie's hats. -Okay.
Maybe they can be moving, if we have them on some kind of, somehow...
-going around here, all the way around. -Okay.
And then we can bring it out externally here somehow,
and just continue around the room.
And then, you add a ladder right here,
and you climb up and grab them.
Okay, that's fun.
This is gonna sound, maybe a little weird.
But, growing up, my grandpa was really into trains.
It's, almost like, imagine
if there was a train track up there.
-Engine's... -[James] Oh, yes.
[Christina] I think by pivoting,
we're still doing justice
to the toyetic feature
and having hats on carousel.
We're still gonna stand out.
In the meantime...
-Paint? -Let's get painting.
[Michel] I really don't know who we tryin' to win this for.
You and me both. 'Cause listen. I need to know
if they're in and like, I need whoever this person has to be
just as invested as we are.
Hi, my name is Dara Peter Lowey.
I'm from Kansas City, Missouri.
And I have my own accounting business.
I probably have, on a low guess, 150 Barbies.
I still play with Barbies. I never really stopped.
Barbies just really gave me a chance to really just explore all of my emotions.
My husband is originally from Haiti.
We have three sons.
Once I had my boys, I started, kind of, collecting African American Kens
because it's important for my children to see
African American representation in our home.
And my four year old, he started saying this thing,
"And anything's possible in the Barbie world."
[laughs]
It's gonna help my kids believe that they can do
and be whatever when they grow up.
[chuckles]
-That was pretty incredible. -That was pretty special.
The way that she has used
the culture of Barbie to influence her household,
she is an extension of what Barbie is really all about.
-[Michel] Hmm. -And that's influencing a shifting culture.
She used Barbie to influence her Black sons.
-Even more important to me -Mmm-hmm.
...and to you. I can't wait to meet her.
All right, let's meet Dara.
[Michel] Hi, Dara.
- Hi.[chuckles] -Hi, Dara.
[Michel] We are in awe of your collection.
[laughs] Oh, wow.
-Oh, thank you. -And incredibly diverse.
That's what I love about the brand, honestly.
This is hip-hop Blaine. He's a fashionista.
I just had him sitting in a box
and my sons are, like, "Hey, can we play with them?"
And I was like, "Yeah."
For Black boys, you can't find
representation like that in toys.
We dress them, we play with them.
We are in awe of you
and your contribution through Barbie
is just absolutely incredible.
Never in a million years will I have in my mind
use Barbie to inspire my sons.
But that resonates with the two of us.
Oh, thank you.
Dara, I have a question for you.
We are designing Barbie's office.
So what are some of the things
you would be looking for?
[Dara] The thing that I love about Barbie
is the interchangeability.
You know, day and night Barbie.
She had, like, a daytime outfit
and then a night time outfit.
So, like, versatility, changeability, pink.
-[laughs] -[laughs]
Well, Dara, I think that you are proving to be
-our secret weapon. -Listen, Anthony,
I came to win...
-Oh! -[Dara] ...okay?
I want that three days in the Dreamhouse.
-We got this. -Make Barbie proud.
I love that.
I think we should use
-the '80s day to night transition -[Michel] All right. Okay.
[Anthony] ...as our inspiration.
But we bring it to 2023.
And gowns is what I do best
so I feel like the best of Barbie
-meets the best of Anthony. -[Michel] Yeah.
I really wanna see you do that.
-I'm on the edge of my seat. I wanna see something. -She gonna go from our office
to the Met Gala.
-Oh! -The... [chuckles]
I think that... Yeah.
That's where we are.
-Let's go. -All right.
[Christina] I love this color.
Oh, yeah.
The carpenters have finished building
our life-size barbie box.
And we're painting it the best shade of Barbie pink.
That's right.
[Christina gasps] What are we gonna put in the Barbie box?
What kind of dress?
-Can we-- Yes. -A door?
I have a...
I have been thinking about something.
Oh no. Yes?
You know, our competition Anthony
-makes couture dresses. -Yes?
So I'm thinking about maybe, um, talking to him
about making us a dress for our Barbie box.
And kinda take him away
-from what he's doing down there, right? -[chuckles]
You're so mischievous.
-Well, you know. -[chuckles] I like where your head's at.
Okay.
Good job, gentlemen.
Michel, pay attention.
I told you I you to bump them up against each other.
-Yes, ma'am. -[Anthony] Thank you.
The bookcase just went in
at like 15, 16 inches of depth have disappeared
and it doesn't even feel like it.
Those arches are intentional.
Yeah, we like the way they look
but they also add new dimension.
[Anthony] And having the bookcases go from floor to ceiling
-definitely make the room feel taller and bigger. -[Michel] Mmm-hmm.
It's design magic.
[Christina] Hello.
-[knocks] -[Anthony] Welcome.
-[James] Hey. How are you? -[Christina] Hi.
-[Anthony] How are you? -Oh, wow.
You guys look so nice.
-Don't tempt me. -[laughing]
-'Cause you guys look really nice right now. -Yeah.
You know what, I've always admired both of you
for what you do and your just brough it to...
this space.
-Well... -[James laughing]
Thank you for that.
-It'll be you first. -[laughing]
I do have something I wanna ask.
We made a life-size Barbie box
where we'd like to showcase a couture dress.
And I heard that you do couture.
-[Christina] For our closet to be on display. -Um...
-[James] Yes. -[Michel] You would like...
-our couture designer -[James] Mmm-hmm.
...to take time away from the competition,
the room that we're designing,
to whip your butts, by the way,
to make a dress for our competitor?
[Christina] I mean, when you put it that way...
[Anthony] Well, let's check our invisible watches Michel,
do we have that kind of time?
[Michel] Doesn't look like it.
-No, we don't. -[Christina chuckles]
[Anthony] We do not.
We won't let our jealousy of y'all taking our space...
override our kindness.
[James] That's okay.
-Bye, boys. -Thank you, boys.
-Good luck. -[person] Bye.
[Michel] As if...
-As if... -...we have time
-to donate... -Yeah.
...to the competition.
We need every single second available
to make our room happen
but they had time to not only come down,
-[Anthony] Mmm-hmm. -...but ask us for a favor
to help them.
We are certain that Barbie's office
is gonna be more fashionable than Barbie's closet.
Anthony is gonna make us a 2023 version
of Barbie's Day-to-Night dress just for our office.
I'm going back to work.
[Christina] We're halfway through the week
and our dressing room closet is coming together.
We've got the wood flooring going in
and then we need to test
our toyetic train feature
that'll represent the future of Barbie's dressing room.
-Are you ready to try some DIY magic? -I am.
[Christina] All right, so what looks like the toy train
from my childhood
is going to become a hat carrier.
-[James] Good. -Now, all we have to do
is make sure it works.
-Ready or not? -Ready.
[Christina] It's working.
It's staying on.
-Whoo! Okay. [chuckles] -Okay. All right.
-The judges are gonna love this. -They will.
-So thankful our hat train works. -Yes.
Okay, so, I know we talked about doing
-a beverage station here, right? -Yes.
But don't you think we need to do something a little bit more... tacky?
A little bigger? A little more futuristic?
If we wanna make it to the finale,
we have to be bold.
And I think two futuristic toyetic features
definitely gives us an edge, right?
Some kind of machine.
Okay.
So we have a screen, you pick your choice,
-Okay. -...and then it appears.
Whatever your choice is.
-We can do shoes and handbags. -[gasps]
-[James] We can do anything. -It's like a Barbie ATM.
It is. Completely.
I really, like... All right, you do this one.
If you can pull this off, you're my hero.
I'm your hero.
-Okay. -Get ready.
[Michel] While Anthony and I were out shopping
for the fabric for the Day-to-Night dress he's gonna make,
our team is installing
the toyetic motorized television screen
that Barbie can use for presentations
and video conferencing.
I can't wait to see it.
Oh!
-Anthony, that's big. -It's big.
I don't know, I think people in heaven gonna
be able to see whatever we put on this screen.
It's too big for the space.
[Michel] Anthony, that's big.
I think we underestimated how far down it will come.
But before you decide if you love it or hate it,
do you wanna see its functionality?
♪ 'Cause I brought the remote with me ♪
-[Michel] Let's go. -[Anthony] Okay.
[Michel] Wow.
It's pretty chic.
We gotta cover this box.
What if we covered it with wallpaper, sort of, blend in?
[Anthony] Oh, that'll be perfect.
It'll detract from...
the scale just a little bit.
-Yup. -Umm...
But it really is kind of amazing.
This doesn't kill our design at all.
We're actually adding a feature,
a layer, if you will,
that you didn't see coming
and is technologically charged.
And why wouldn't Barbie have this?
She was the first girl I knew with a convertible.
I mean, come on.
-Technology, check. -Check.
[Michel] This is our secret weapon.
♪ Sometimes I wonder ♪
♪ How you love me everyday ♪
[Christina] We have just two days
until the judges arrive.
And our dressing room and closet is looking flawless.
Our wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous.
Nice work.
The pieces are all coming together
-for this Barbie ATM. -[James] I feel good.
So this is the door.
It sits up in here
and then see the mechanism back here?
-[Christina] Yes. -[James] It lowers itself,
a little door opens
and the items come out of the box.
-It's like a pulley. -It is like a pulley.
I'm sure whatever Michel and Anthony have,
is fabulous, but...
-Do they have an ATM that dispenses beverages, -[James chuckles]
-[Christina] ...shoes and bags and accessories? -[James] They do not.
-[Christina] We have to do it for Sonya. -[James] We will.
Okay, Christina.
-Ready to test out this Barbie ATM machine? -Oh my God. Okay, look.
-This is so cute -Yes.
...but this means nothing if it doesn't work.
So we have a bag, we have beverages,
-we have sunglasses and we have shoes. -Okay. What're you gonna pick?
-Let's try a shoe. -Shoe?
So just tap it once.
Moment of truth.
-[screaming] -[laughing] Yes!
-You have magic touch. [gasps] They're so cute. -[clapping]
isn't that great? Look.
[laughing]
Oh, my God, I'm so proud of you.
-Oh, my God, it's amazing. -[James] Look.
I feel like we're looking at it dry
as though we've never seen a wallpaper before.
We just haven't seen wallpaper quite like this.
[Michel] I love this. We wanted a sense of nostalgia.
We wanted diversity.
This is so boss.
I think Barbie's a boss because she led by example.
This career, that career and even the wallpaper that we're using
in our space has Black Barbies,
-Brown Barbies, White Barbies, -[Anthony] Right.
...and it feels like now but it's vintage.
I've also designed the spans of the book covers
the same way,
so Barbie can be inspired
wherever she looks in her office.
[Anthony] We have the most incredible ceiling
that I feel is quite modern
-but it speaks to the 1959 Barbie. -[Michel] Yeah.
-What'd she had on... Like a white strip swimsuit? -[Michel] Hmm, so good.
Plus, we're covering the toyetic feature
on the ceiling with this wallpaper
because it's really helping to minimize how big it appears.
Come on in, gentlemen, with that foundation
-All right. -...for our toyetic desk.
We thought that our desk should be really fabulous
-in a way that it references our past. -[Anthony] Mmm-hmm.
[Michel] It's super innovative.
So we're gonna make our desk an aquarium
and kinda highlight some of Barbie's past
as lover of all animals.
She's had several careers over the years
taking care of animals and this aquarium will pay homage
to her careers as a scuba diver
and also a marine biologist.
-Time to draft... -The aquarium.
-[Anthony] Ready? -[Michel] Pour.
I think that this toyetic feature
that we have in our desk,
not only does it speak to who she was
as a marine biologist
but it also speaks to, like, right now there aren't many people
who have aquarium desk.
Nobody.
That... So that speaks to the future.
-You know what I'm saying? -Yeah. Yeah.
I love the way this looks.
But how do we fill it up with water?
Hmm.
[snaps]
-Ooh. -Oh, this is gorgeous.
Nice.
[Anthony] I am stitching for a young lady named Barbie.
-You may have heard of her. -I know her.
Well, I'm making a beautiful, architectural gown
to pay homage to Day-to-Night Barbie.
Our friend Dara's a genius for that idea.
I love the weight of this fabric.
Most of us start out in the morning
and have to transition into the evening.
Barbie just taught us how to do it with excellence and class.
Day-to-Night Barbie is one of the most famous Barbies of all time.
♪ We can work from nine to five ♪
♪ And then change in a sec for an evening with kids ♪
♪ We could turn a dancer, Barbie listen ♪
♪ Sparkly Barbie wear ♪
[Anthony] So I'm making a full size, real life version
of my own for Barbie's office.
We're not playing any games.
'Cause we're gonna outfashion the dressing room.
[Anthony] I think this will be beautiful.
Like, something in this vein.
[Michel] Feels like Barbie, feels like you.
Feels architectural. Perfect for our space.
-Basic and modern. -All of that.
[Christina] Oh, so cute. There's so much to choose from.
-[James] There's so much to choose from. -[Christina] Oh.
These bags are so Barbie.
[Christina] Our Barbie dressing room
is more than just Barbie's personal closet.
-This is like a full showcase. -[James] Yes.
[Christina] We want all of her favorites,
past and present, on display.
All right.
-Huh. -Well.
-[Christina] Can't see any of 'em. -[James] I can't see anything.
-The whole point of everything -I have no idea.
...is to have everything on display and can't even tell
what anything is.
[James] This is too wide, the frame.
-Oh, sugar. -[James] This should be all glass.
[Christina] I agree. But guess what?
-We don't have time to switch it out. -This is tomorrow.
Oh, no.
[Christina] Let's take a step back.
-Huh. -[James] Well.
[Christina] Uh-oh.
[James] Oh, my gosh.
It's always something.
Yes, the point of our closet is to showcase
Barbie's favorite items.
And you can't showcase them
from behind a closed door.
[sighs] My gosh.
Can't see any of 'em.
[James] I can't see anything.
Wait, wait, wait.
Let's open it. Yes.
Stand back.
We have to take those doors off.
We are under the gun. We'll do it.
-[Christina] All right. Let go. -[James] Got it.
-[James] Got it? -All righty.
Oh, my gosh.
James, you're a genius.
Looks like it was meant to be that way.
-Little patchwork gotta do. -[James] Check.
I think it's time for a fashion show.
[Christina] I agree.
Playing dress up is the perfect opportunity
to try on some outfits I found online
that are inspired by classic Barbie outfits of the past
to see which ones we wanna feature.
Let's start with a dress inspired
by one of my favorites as a kid, Totally Hair Barbie.
Never thought I'd say this, but don't you think it's too small.
It's gonna be a perfect fit.
-I'm just saying. -[Christina] Watch.
I finally get to play dress up Barbie
with my real life Barbie.
[Christina] Let's change it up a bit
with Airline Pilot Barbie.
I love this Barbie magic.
I think it's time for something a little more fancy,
the 1961 Solo in the Spotlight Barbie.
[James] Oh my gosh.
[Christina] And now for the big one, James.
Mattel let us borrow this one for the Barbie box.
[James gasps]
Oh, my gosh. It's glorious.
-[gasps] -[James] You're a princess Barbie.
[Christina] This is the best thing
-I've ever seen. -Look at that move. Oh!
-This is the 50 year anniversary dress. -[James] It is?
I love it.
-Now this is what Barbie dress up -[gasps]
-...is all about. -This is literally my childhood dream, right here.
[chuckling] Mine too.
-[Christina] Oh, my God, this is real Barbie magic, James. -[James] This is a dream.
Okay, get in the box.
-We gotta see what you look like in the box. -[Christina] Okay.
-[James] You got it? -It's a lot of dress, James.
[James] It is.
Wow. It's perfect.
This is gonna look phenomenal
-when the judges walk in in this box. -It will. It will.
-Uh-oh. -Okay, wow.
-[James] What? Wait a minute. -[Christina] Uh-oh.
Oh my God. You look incredible.
-[James laughs] -Speechless? You're speechless?
Is that ever happened in your life, Mich?
-Oh, Michel, I feel like my blood sugar going up. -I'm holding on to you.
-[Anthony] Hold on. -[laughing]
Are you regretting not making me the dress now?
-[laughing] -I am more than happy
-that I didn't make you a damn thing. -[laughing]
You look stunning.
The dress is lovely and she looked beautiful.
But that was the highlight
and the only light in that room.
I thought that was basic.
So watch out Christina and James.
We see you, we love you...
but we gotta smack you down, baby.
'Cause I know you'd wanna do the same.
-[James] Hey, muscles. -[Christina chuckles]
Well...
[Christina] So I know it was Sonya's idea
that we have a sitting area
but you did an amazing job finding these vintage chairs.
Hey, I can find anything in Palm Springs
at a vintage store.
-Okay, we gotta move. -[Christina] Okay.
This is painter Barbie
and that's where she lands
with the palette and the brushes.
We're in the final hour
trying to put finishes on everything,
including stagings of my current items
from Barbie's 200 plus careers on the shelves of the bookcases.
-Barbie was an architect too, right? -[Anthony] Yeah.
So these are plans for one of the Dreamhouses.
Barbie did everything.
[Christina] Time check.
How much time do we have?
-Oh, my gosh. 12 minutes. -12 minutes?
-[James] Oh, my gosh. -I've to put a whole gown on.
[James] I know.
-Let's go. Is that it? -[Christina] All right. It's perfect.
-Right. Yeah. Let's go and change. -All right. Let's go.
Judge would be here any minute.
Well, hello there Barbies and Kens.
It's our final head to head showdown.
So you guys know our esteemed judges,
Jonathan Adler and Tiffany Brooks.
[Jonathan] I am so excited
'cause this is the office and the dressing room.
So I can't wait to see
what you talented HGTV stars do.
I mean, this is gonna be our most stylish week yet.
So please, come through.
This week's special guest judge is a fashion designer
who's dressed JLo, Zendaya, yours truly, and Barbie.
-[Tiffany] Whoo! -[Jonathan] Oh, wow.
[Ashley] Say hello to my friend Christian Siriano.
[all cheering]
-[Christian] I'm coming, -[Ashley] Great.
[Christian] Hi, everyone.
So excited to be here.
I can't wait to see what you've done.
You guys look fabulous, stunning. This is...
pop couture.
-[all laughing] -[Christian] Very Barbie.
So one team here is gonna join
our other three finalists
-[woman] Hmm. -[Ashley] ...in our finale.
-No pressure. -None.
That's what we're gonna crown
our overall number one
Dreamiest Barbie Dreamhouse Space
and make one lucky fan very happy.
Okay, teams. You know who else is here?
Your fans!
-[all] Oh! -Ah!
-[Ashley] They're watching you right now. -[woman speaking indistinctly]
-Hi, Sonya. -Hi, Sonya.
-Hi, everybody. -Hi,Dara.
[Ashley] All right. Let's go.
First up, Michel and Anthony.
-Hmm. -Let's go.
[song playing]
-Hello. -[woman screams]
-[man 1] Welcome. -[man 2] Oh my God.
-[man] Surprise. -I love this.
[man chuckles]
[Anthony] We knew our office was small,
but like Barbie,
she packed a powerful punch.
[Michel] We went with a more sophisticated color palette in her
with the highlights and muted pink
and the black and white stripes on the ceiling
because it's a small room.
And those stripes help enlarge it in a way,
-makes it little bit longer because it's tight. -[woman] Yes.
-[Christian] I love the stripes. -[woman] Mmm-hmm.
I think they're just so graphic and powerful.
[woman] I love the dual desk fish tank combo.
[Michel] And that's marine biologist Barbie in there
doing what she loves. [chuckles]
This is an epic achievement.
I love the book covers.
-Ingenious. -[man 1] Wow.
[man 2] The scale plan here is really good.
And the arches are on trend.
-We're a little upset with arches. [chuckles] -Yeah, that's right.
I think I want more pink.
-Just saying. -More?
So you know we have past, present and future Barbie,
all the decades.
So we set up a little presentation for you
that might explore...
-future technology. -Okay.
-Ta da! -[man 1] I knew it.
[man 2] Yes.
She can video conference.
-[Anthony] Yes, she can. -[man] You need batteries.
-[woman] Wow. -[Michel] Literally a walk through the decade, in fact.
-Oh my gosh. Give me now. -[Michel] That's our sexy Barbie.
[Michel] She's literally had over 200 jobs
so this is just a small presentation
exploring a few of 'em.
Love this touch.
I love adding their history of it in there.
[Christian] What's happening with the look?
-[woman] And the sweater. -[Anthony] Okay, so that's our dainty evening look
which is inspired by the 1985 day to night look from Barbie.
-[Michel] There she is. -[Anthony] The original.
[woman] They're on the table.
-[man] Wait, like, that look comes to life or something? -[woman] Oh, that...
-Show... Show us the rest -They dance?
-...of the choices. -Wait, what does it do?
[Anthony] We have taken our polka dot day look to night.
-[all] Oh! -She's couture.
-[man] Like that. -Wow.
-[woman] Yes. -[Michel] You asked for more pink.
-There she is. -[man] I asked...
-[Ashley] Gorgeous. -Wow.
-[man] I love it. -Amazing.
I love the idea of transformation.
I think that's what Barbie's all about.
-[man] Thank you. -Stunning.
[woman] I think you guys brought Barbie
into tomorrow's tomorrow.
I love that you gave us, like, a chic, grown up,
like, power woman's office
but I just am not assured
that it is fantastical enough.
-Hmm. -But I'm undecided, because, like, there's power
but then, I just need a couple hits of, like,
acidic pink.
You two did a fantastic job.
-[man] Mmm-hmm. -[Ashley] This room is beautiful.
-Yes. -But we will see you very soon.
-Thanks for spending time with us. -[Ashley] Yes. Thank you.
-Bye, guys. -Thank you so much.
-Bye, Kens. Bye, Barbies. -Bye, Ken. Bye, Ken.
-Bye, Barbies. -[Ashley] Barbie.
Hi, Dara.
-[Michel] How do you think we did? -Hey, guys.
How do you think we did?
So good, guys.
Dara has equipped us with all the knowledge
that created this room.
-To be fair. -Yeah.
Sonya, the judges are about to come in.
This is the moment of truth.
This is our lucky Barbie.
-Whoo! -So we're... Yeah, we got this.
-We got this. We got it. -[all cheering]
We've gotta beat the office.
Oh, they're coming in. They're coming in.
[vocalizing] Ah.

[vocalizing]
Welcome, Ashley and judges,
to Barbie's dressing room and closet.
[Christina] The past, present and future
of all things Barbie fashion.
It was so important for us to display
some of Barbie's outfits of the past.
And they're facing out just like
the 2023 Barbie Dreamhouse,
to represent the present.
I want everything in here in my closet.
Our Barbie fan Sonya has over 500 Barbies.
-I love her. -So we asked Sonya
what she would wanna see in a closet,
and she said that she would really wanna see
a sitting area.
These are a fantastic touch.
Perfect shape. Like, they capture the glamour
and romance that we are looking for.
The Barbie box.
-This is the star of the show. -[judges] Yes.
This is the 50th anniversary dress on loan by Mattel.
Amazing. I need it.
I need the dress and the box.
[Christina] Yes. We all need a Barbie box
in our own house.
I love all the display elements.
Like, you were really able to showcase
how fabulous Barbie's clothes are,
and that's what I love the most.
Like, you see every shoe, every bag, every hat.
-I love that. -[Tiffany] Yeah.
[Jonathan] You know what I'm missing?
Mirrors.
Like, I want more mirrors.
-I want them everywhere. -Everywhere.
But it is gorgeous and glamorous,
and I think Barbie would love to lounge
in her dressing room.
All right, are you guys ready
to see our toyetic feature?
So, this is our toyetic feature,
which also is what we think
Barbie's future closet will look like, okay?
So, say you're about to head out for the night,
and you decide maybe
-you want accessories. -[Christian gasps]
-It's life, it's life. -[Christina] Okay.
-Or you'd like a bag. -I need a bag.
-Would you like a bag? -I always need a bag.
-Okay. -Always need a bag.
You just, at the push of a button...
-[Tiffany] Love it. -Wait for it.
-[shouts] Oh! -Shut up.
[Christian] She's out, she's out, she's out.
-She's out. -[Ashley] That's it.
She almost fainted.
-This is a for-real. -What the hell?
What?!
I've been in a lot of closets,
let me tell you, no one has this.
Not even Beyoncé.
-I love this. -Christian.
Pick a hat that you'd like to look at.
And then I want you to come over here
and push this button on the side of the ladder.
Is it really gonna do something?
Wait, wait! Oh, my God.
-[Tiffany] What the... -I need it back!
-This is everything. -Oh, my God.
Christian.
Oh, my God, my pink beret.
Oh, is it me?
[Christina] Oh, it's so you.
-[Tiffany] Hands down... -[Christian] Wow.
[Christian] This is probably the most creative thing
I've ever seen in a closet.
Everything that's electronic
is so the future of Barbie,
and that's what I love about this closet.
Extra credit, A plus.
I'm looking at the backs of the shelves.
I would have loved a pink grasscloth in there.
The only thing that I'm missing, actually,
is more hanging space.
Everything is more showcase.
There isn't actually a space just for
Barbie's everyday clothes.
But otherwise, it's incredible.
[Ashley] This is such a beautiful space.
-So thank you for having us. -[James] Thank you.
[both] Hi, Sonya!
Fingers crossed.
It's beautiful. You guys did an amazing, amazing job.
-So good. -Thank you again.
-Thank you so much. -Yeah, thank you.
[Ashley] Wow, teams.
You've created two important and incredible spaces.
I know you made Barbie and Barbie fans proud.
[sighs] All right, judges,
let's start with Barbie's office.
That room I feel like embodied
what future Barbie could be.
Your aquarium desk thing was genius.
[Christian] It was very sophisticated,
very elegant, which I really loved.
It felt vintage. You really thought about
all the elements of Barbie, that she really is an icon,
and she's done so many things in her career.
If I had to find something negative to say about your office,
I'd say that the color scheme,
in real life it was très, trs chic,
as you guys are.
But in the Barbie universe,
everything has to be cranked up
to a technicolor 11.
All right, next up is Christina and James
and Barbie's dressing room and closet.
[Tiffany] Everything was insane.
I loved the color scheme, I loved the tech in there.
[Christian] The hat conveyor belt was amazing,
'cause it wasn't just about,
you know, everything on this one level.
[Jonathan] The Barbie ATM blew my mind.
The thing that I missed in your room,
and kinda bummed me out, was that
there just wasn't enough mirror.
They create sparkle and glamour,
and I think Barbie deserved more mirror.
All right, you ready, teams?
[all] Yes.
[Ashley] It is time.
The winner of week four
of the Barbie Dreamhouse Challengeis...
It is time.
The winner of week four
of the Barbie Dreamhouse Challengeis...
Christina and James.
[cheering]
The Barbie dressing room and closet!
[Sonya and family cheering]
-Yes! -Aww!
We gotta visit this closet.
-Sonya, step one. -All right, Sonya.
-Y'all are the best! -The best!
-Whoo! -It's amazing, it's so beautiful.
We had a great time, Darra.
I'm sorry we couldn't bring it home for you.
But I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Thank you, guys!
All right, we will see all of you
at the big pink carpet finale.
-Congratulations! -[cheering]
James, there's one more. We've won the battle
-but not the war. -I know.
Now we're facing three other teams
for the grand prize.
-Three other winners. -Yes.
The grand prize, James. And that is what Sonya needs.
[cheering]
[Ashley] The pink carpet finale is finally here!
We have our judges...
Oh, my God. I fainted once already.
So I don't know what's going to happen tonight
when I find out who wins.
-I'm here, I'm here. -Okay, you're here for me.
Ken is here for her.
[Ashley] ...guests, and of course, all of our teams.
It's so freaking fabulous.
Everybody's just done such an incredible job.
It's a dream come true.
It's gorgeous. Everything turned out perfect.
It's so amazing to be able to do this
to a house in real life and just look at it.
-We're so proud of how it turned out. -Yes. So proud.
There's so much to be excited about.
I mean, Barbie Dreamhouse in life-size right here.
It's amazing.
And just so much talent here.
I can't wait to see everybody else's faces.
We loved the opportunity
to escape into this dream land
we've been dreaming about since we were kids,
and now we're here as grown-ups
playing with dolls yet again. Full circle.
[Ashley] We'll be able to finally check out
the completed, real-life Barbie Dreamhouse
featuring the four finalists' spaces.
Jasmine and Antonia's kitchen and family room.
Ty and Alison's Ken's den.
Brian and Mika's backyard.
And Christina and James's dressing room closet.
It's going to be a Barbie-tastic celebration.
[cheering]
[announcer] We have Antonia Lofaso and Jasmine Roth.
At the end of the day, you dream something,
you can do it. And that's why this is so different and fun.
[interviewer] Yes! We're so excited for the finale.
[announcer] Ty Pennington and Alison Victoria!
Easy question, who do you think is gonna win today?
Boom. Right here. So easy.
[announcer] We got Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt.
Bringing back some of those memories
from your childhood and infusing them
into a modern design, so much fun.
[announcer] Christina Hall and James Bender.
[interviewer] What are you excited about for the finale today?
-Hopefully winning. -Winning. [laughs]
[loud cheering]
♪ Raise a toast to the party ♪
♪ Got you drunk on my body ♪
♪ Raise a toast to the party ♪
Hi, everybody! Welcome!
[all cheering]
We are so stoked that you're here to celebrate
this amazing accomplishment,
creating a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse.
[cheering and applause]
But only four spaces have made it here to the finale.
So today, all of you will tour all four of these spaces,
and decide which will be number one.
[all cheer]
[Ashley] Before we open those pink doors,
I'd like to introduce you to our special guest.
From Mattel, the Executive Vice President
and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls,
Lisa McKnight.
[cheering]
-Hi! Thanks, Ashley. -Yeah.
[Lisa] Great to be here. Thank you.
We're really proud to be partnering with
the Barbiemovie, the Barbie Dream Gap Project,
and Save The Children
to help kids around the world realize their dreams.
So we'll be making a donation in honor of the winning team.
[cheering]
[Ashley] As you all know,
each team is also playing
on behalf of a major Barbie fan.
[cheering]
Their dreams are at stake today, too.
Because the winning fan will get to vacation
right here in the Barbie Dreamhouse.
[cheering and applause]
Once you see all four of the spaces,
it's your job to choose the ultimate winner.
[cheering and applause]
[Ashley] All right, everybody, I know
you're just dying to live the Barbie dream.
So let's open those doors and go inside!
[cheering]
Go, go, go! Let them in!
Have a good time. [laughs]
[Ashley] Go, go, go! Let them in!
[woman 1] Oh, I love a kitchen.
-[woman 2] Stunning. -[woman 3] Look at this.
Is this wallpaper instead of vinyl?
-[woman 1] I think so. -[woman 2] Oh, that's really nice.
[woman 3] Oh, my gosh, I love the vintage feel of this kitchen.
[man] What do those buttons next to the fridge do?
[scoffs]
[cheering]
Ooh, that is so cool!
Oh!
-It's the pantry! -Stop it, the pantry! Ah!
I love that it's just filled with candy.
What I thought was amazing about the kitchen is
they really brought the melding of, like, the '60s
and then this futuristic. What they dreamed up
in the '60s, they brought that to life now.
This looks just like the couch
-in her original Dreamhouse. -I know, it's so good.
It doesn't, like, hit you over the head with Barbie.
It's just, like, the perfect amount of Barbie.
Oh, my God!
-[woman 1] Man! -[woman 2] Are you kidding me?
[woman 3] Look at all the costumes.
[woman 4] Wow, look at all the hats.
I want a hat!
[woman 5] Like, I would just sit all day
and look at the different hats that I have.
[woman] Look at this dress!
This is so Barbie right here.
The patchwork with the box. Amazing.
The closet was a dream come true.
That giant dress in there, I wish that was my dress.
Oh, I loved it.
The creativity was just absolutely nuts.
Love, love, love the wallpaper,
'cause it's a print from one of Barbie's early outfits
called Roman Holiday.
It looks just like it. It's fabulous.
[woman 1] I will hit up the Barbie ATM.
-[woman 2] There we go. -[gasps]
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, my God.
-Oh! -Stop it right now.
Love it. [gasps] Oh, my gosh!
Oh, perfect for my outfit today.
[woman 3] Barbie's closet when you could actually select
either the shoes or the purse,
it was so fun watching those pop out. I loved it.
This is a dream come true.
-Can I live here? -[chuckling]
Wow. Hell yeah.
-[man 1] Such a vibe. -[man 2] Wow.
[woman] This is so groovy!
Barbie, are you ready?
-Oh, wow! -Ooh!
[man] Who doesn't love a wig moment?
-I could live here. [laughs] -Yeah.
And what is the party mode over there?
-[disco music playing] -Oh!
[woman] I need this in my pink palace!
-[laughter] -I'm ready.
[man] Oh!
This is, like, so hip. [laughs]
Oh, wow.
-Wow! -[woman gasps]
[woman 2] Wow![laughs]
This is amazing.
Guys, I'm not even kidding, this is my dream pool area.
[woman 2] Who knew AstroTurf could look this good?
Oh, my gosh, the pink turf out here was just so cute.
I couldn't believe it. I would love it in the backyard.
-Oh, my God! -Oh, whoa!
[woman 1] So, what's cooking?
[woman 2] Shish kebabs.
So cool!
♪ Whoo! You're gonna like this ♪
I love the hedge with the big "B."
It's so amazing.
[woman] I love the little bar! It's a surfboard bar.
That slide looks amazing.
-Darling! -[all laugh]
Hi, welcome to the pink party!
Whoo!
Pink AstroTurf, pink everything.
Oh, my God. I was so excited! I love it.
-We need a backyard like this. -[woman] I know.
-Yeah! -Whoo!
Who should we vote for?
-Um, wow. -This is gonna be really hard.
-[woman] Such a tough choice. -[man] I know.
Everybody did such a good job.
-I know. -It's really, really hard.
It's really hard to choose.
[Ashley] While party guests vote for their favorites,
our teams finally get a chance to see
each other's finished spaces for the first time.
-Barbie time. -Yeah!
-Wow. Look at this. -Oh, my gosh.
-[Alison] Oh, my God. -[Ty] Come on in!
-Barbie time. -Yeah!
-Whoo! -Cool.
[Christina] Gorgeous.
-[Ty] Should we go upstairs? -Yes.
Can't wait to see what the other teams are doing.
[Christina] Guys, can you show, can you show us?
-Yes. -Come on in.
Come on in.
Is the kitchen and the family room
gonna be enough to overtake the rest of the house?
I'm nervous. There's some really strong competition.
This is where the party happens.
-Oh! Oh! Oh-oh! -Yes!
[Mika] Are you kidding me?
Everybody has done such an amazing job
with their spaces, so I still feel like
there is some tough competition.
It's really nerve-wracking.
This is pretty cool.
[Ty] Oh, yeah. [cackles]
This is where the party is.
[all shouting]
[Egypt laughing]
Sweaty palms and heavy heartbeats coming.
At the end of the day, I'm always gonna take a room
that has, like, a wig section.
Ta-da!
Oh, this is amazing.
[James] Try some shoes.
-[Egypt] What? -Stop it!
-Are you serious? -Wait a minute!
I don't know who's gonna win at this point.
-[Ty] Oh, my gosh. -[Alison] Are you kidding?
-No way. It fits you? -It's like Cinderella.
-I'm nervous. I hate it. -And Alison's such a great loser.
-I'm not a good loser. -No.
-That is amazing. -Oh, my... This is fun.
I really, really love the dressing room.
-The dressing room was really good. -It gives you shoes.
Oh.
[Jon] Is this from one of the Barbie houses?
-It's got to be. -Yup. There it is.
[Michel] That's pretty crazy.
-[Alison] Touch it. -[Kristina] Maybe push on it.
[Alison] Yeah. Push.
-[Kristina] Push on it like... -Oh!
-Oh! [chuckles] -Oh!
This is so cool.
[Kristina] Oh!
-Did you break it? -Oh!
-Oh, no way! -What?
-[all laugh] -What is that?
I was like, "Is it a night-light?"
-Okay, that's fancy. -That is adorable.
So cute.
We have some stiff competition.
I know, I know, I know.
All the other rooms in the house are nothing
if she doesn't have the perfect outfit on.
[laughing] Absolutely!
The outfits... it's what makes the doll.
I'm gonna wear this for the rest of the day.
-[all laugh] -As you should.
I love a nice kitchen, so...
I have to agree with you. Love that.
This is, like, where I could see myself
-spending the most time. -For sure.
-I think I'm gonna go backyard. -But Ken's den.
[gasps] Look at all the toy food on the grill!
-You get it? -That's cool. I get it.
-The Bar-bie... -Cue.
[Ty] Wow.
-This is, like, it's surreal. -[Alison] It's so fun.
A kitchen is a kitchen is a kitchen.
And a closet is a closet is a closet.
And then the backyard. Now, that is fun.
-That is fun. -Okay?
-This is amazing. -It's amazing.
-And so that, to me, is our direct competition. -Yeah.
-Follow your heart. -Follow your...
-Do it. -Ah, good.
Mmm.
They didn't miss one detail. I love it.
This is where I would be all the time.
-This is gonna make me have a heart attack. -Yeah.
