[Ashley] It's the largest group
of HGTV and Food Network stars ever assembled
to tackle the most ambitious and whimsical renovation
in history, creating this.
A real-life, fully-functioning Barbie Dreamhouse.
Did I mention? We made it a competition.
Game on, guys!
It's on, Brian!
Wow!
[Ashley] Join us for an exclusive look behind the scenes.
-Oh! -[laughing]
I would have never imagined that there would be a Barbie in my likeness.
Oh, I really like him.
[Alison and Antonia] Stop this!
[Ashley] You may think you've seen it all...
[women laughing]
What is this?
[Ashley] But there is so much more.
Whoa! [laughs]
Anyone home?
Oh, my God!
[Ashley] And find out what happened when the winning Barbie fan
got to vacation in the real Barbie Dreamhouse.
I feel like I'm dreaming.
[Ashley] Get ready to peel back the pink curtain
and find out what it really took
to pull off HGTV's most magical transformation ever.
[all] Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge. [all cheering]
[Ashley] You saw how the competition ended,
but you don't know how it all began.
Our build team leader Blake helped to bring all the departments together
to prep the house to be renovated.
It's day one.
We're just outside Barbie's Dreamhouse
and we're just about to get started.
We've got almost everybody here from HGTV
and we're gonna have over 500 people working around the clock
to bring Barbie's Dreamhouse to life.
We're gonna have framers, drywallers, plumbers, electricians.
Every square inch of this house
will represent everything that Barbie is.
-[Evan] This is a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse. -[Keith] I know.
Don't mess it up.
-The pressure is on. -The pressure...
[Blake] The outside of this house, as you can tell, is a very beautiful home
and we chose it 'cause it's got beautiful bones.
The structure of Barbie's house
really has a doll-like character to it.
You notice it's got square lines. It's kind of boxy.
And we think it fits well
with, kind of, the Dreamhouses of the decades.
So, as you walk through this house,
we're gonna be taking you through
the different decades that Barbie's been around,
from the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s to 2000s.
You're gonna be walking through this space which maybe one decade
and then as soon as you come into the kitchen,
you stepped inside to a completely new decade.
[Ashley] Another element of the competition was our amazing fans.
We had a massive nationwide outreach to find the Barbie fans
who would help our teams with their designs
and have a chance to win their dream vacation.
Thousands of applications came in.
It was really hard for us to narrow it down to our finalists.
For me, it's just a passion.
[Ashley] Once we had our eight lucky contenders,
we assigned one fan to each of our teams.
Then it was time to dive into our competition.
-Wait, is this it? -[Mike] Yeah.
♪ Everybody wants me ♪
[all laughing]
-No, way! -[Antonia] So good.
Well, hello there, teams.
-Welcome to our future Barbie Dreamhouse. -[all cheering]
-All right. We got this. -[Mike] Okay.
[Ashley] For week one, Jasmine and Antonia's
'60s-themed kitchen and family room went up against
Mike and Egypt's '90s-themed entry, living and dining rooms.
-[Egypt] Ah, I'm so excited! -[Mike] Look at this space!
[Egypt] These steps are giving me life.
-It's like already Barbie Dreamhouse. -Exactly.
-[Egypt] Oh, we'll get the fireplace. -[Mike] Fireplace.
-I love the space we got. -Yeah.
I was trying not to let on before,
I didn't want the kitchen.
-[Jasmine] Okay. [laughs] -[Antonia] I love the positive...
the positive from you is amazing. You're like, "Yes."
I was like, "Oh."
You know, I mean, it's very dated.
[Jasmine] Yeah, I mean, I feel like, in there,
Mike and Egypt, they have this, like, high ceilings.
-Yeah. -And all this light.
And then we kinda got, like, it's kind of like a cave.
But if we rip everything out,
-I think we can do a really good job. -Oh, without question.
-You will be Construction Ken. -That's right, baby.
[Egypt laughs]
Whoo!
You talk about dreams coming true?
We are embarking on the Barbie Dreamhouse.
-Oh, my gosh. -[laughs] You don't understand.
Like, I was the Barbie girl.
[Jasmine whispers] We gotta take this wall down.
We have to take this wall out.
-[in normal voice] Right? -Without question.
[Jasmine] We're through.
Hey, guys!
What...
Hi.
-How could they... -What're you doing?
[Ashley] Mike and Egypt got an unexpected surprise
when Jasmine and Antonia knocked down the wall
between the kitchen and dining room.
Here's an exclusive look at what you didn't get to see.
Okay, we just broke through this wall.
'Cause we are taking this entire wall down.
This kitchen needs to be opened up.
I mean, Barbie needs to be able to entertain.
She needs to be able to listen to her friends.
The only problem is Mike and Egypt
are on the other side of that wall.
You know I was crushed. I was crushed when they took the wall out.
-We got over it. You know, we adjust. -Yeah, mm-hmm.
Listen, next time ask.
-[Jasmine] Fair enough? -Fair enough.
[Ashley] Despite the competition,
our opposing teams still found some time
to have fun with each other.
-Challenge, ready? Right now. You ready? -[Antonia] Okay.
-Go. -Give me a '90s dance.
-'90s dance, you ready Jasmine? -I don't know a '90s dance.
Reebok. That's the Reebok.
-[all laughing] -Do the walk. You know sidewalk?
-There was the Cabbage Patch. -[laughing]
Oh! [laughs]
-That's two! -How old are you?
I think I'm too young.
[Antonia] You had no dances.
Scrunchies in your hair, jelly shoes,
the Karate Kid, like, the Cabbage Patch.
Literally, I'm like speaking in another language to you right now.
[both laugh]
[Ashley] The Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge
was judged by several iconic stars
like Jonathan Adler and Tiffany Brooks led the charge.
♪ You're looking at me from the street ♪
♪ I see you looking... ♪
Barbie is like a fantasy space
where anything is possible.
I have been all up in Barbie's growth for 15 years.
Jonathan Adler is a legend.
Like, I've been following him for years.
-Jonathan Adler! -[man] You got Tiffany Brooks!
And Tiffany, we go way back.
I love me some Tiffany Brooks.
-Yeah. -We are sitting inside of a toy.
Yes! So I'm Tiffany Brooks of the HGTV Smart Home,
and I'm here getting to judge
the Barbie Dreamhouse.
I consider myself a Barbie superfan.
I own nine dreamhouses and I've made my own.
And these teams are just hitting the nails on the head.
-[Christina] You just, at the push of a button... -Oh!
-She's out. She's out! -[woman laughs]
[Ashley] The time had finally come for our week one judging
and the teams' designs did not disappoint.
Oh, my... Oh, my goodness!
-[Tiffany laughs] -[Ashley] You guys!
[Jonathan] Ah, wow!
-Welcome to the neon '90s living room and dining room. -Yeah.
-[screams] -[laughs]
[Jonathan] I got to give you props for just hardcore design chops,
and, like, the scale of color blocking and pattern is all on point.
The challenge was to incorporate a toyetic feature.
What does every Barbie Dreamhouse have?
An elevator.
-Yes! -Oh!
Where she could put her shopping bags
or her laundry or her snacks.
The working elevator, that was a staple, especially in the '90s.
-Come through with that. -[Mike] Thank you!
Welcome to the '60s.
[all cheering]
[Tiffany] We are definitely in the OG doll house!
[woman] Yeah.
-[gasping] -This is cool.
I sincerely want that feature in my life.
So, Jonathan, go ahead and just push on that bookshelf
if you don't mind.
-[Jonathan gasps] Oh, no, she did not. -[Tiffany] Yes, she did.
-[all laughing] -You took it to 11.
[Antonia] Welcome to our family room.
[Jasmine laughs] Welcome, welcome.
-Wow. -This is cool.
So what we have is a fully-functioning
-TV dinner tray. -[Ashley] Oh!
-Shut up. -[Jasmine] Yup, so it's that easy.
[Ashley] Jasmine and Antonia's pop-up trays were definitely clever.
But the retro meal that Chef Antonia cooked up
took it above and beyond.
This is for the real-deal, back here.
-I'm actually really nervous. -You are?
[Antonia] It's so crazy, like, I cook in culinary competitions.
And, like, why? Because I'm making a fried chicken TV dinner
-for the Barbie Dreamhouse. -[laughs]
[Antonia] Like, I'm the most nervous.
This is something that no other team has.
Right? So nobody else has a chef on their team which, I think, is awesome.
And nobody else has a TV dinner that's, like, gourmet.
And our entire win is hinged...
-[Antonia] No, don't take that! -...on Antonia's TV dinner.
This is the only thing we have going for us.
-Stop it! -[Jasmine laughs]
-[Jasmine] And here's our Chef Antonia. -[all cheering]
-[Tiffany] Are you kidding me? -Yes, my TV dinner.
The mashed potatoes, I'm just warning you,
they're gonna change your life.
They're so good.
-You like it? -[Jasmine laughing]
Bravo!
Hmm...
[Ashley] Both teams knocked it out of the park
but only one team could become our first finalist.
The winner of week one Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge is...
-Jasmine and Antonia. -[cheering]
-We won! -[all cheering]
[Ashley] Coming up...
Find out what it took to create all that Barbie magic.
You're like waxing, waxing on and off.
This is way too small.
-Let me fix that. -Whoa!
With Barbie I loved making stories.
I was just constantly making soap operas
and one of the missing pieces
that I always wanted was the Barbie Dreamhouse.
I mean, when you're young and there's an icon that's beauty and womanhood
and you get to own a piece of that,
like in your home
and you get play out your own dreams and imagination.
It's so incredibly aspirational.
[Ashley] In week two, Jon and Kristina's
'80s-themed bedroom and en-suite
went head to head against Ty and Alison's '70s themed Ken's den.
-[Ty] Okay. -[Alison] Ken's den.
-Look at the light. -Yeah, we can work with this.
This is a nice, big space.
[Alison] Ken's getting more than most guys get.
-[Kristina] Wow. -[Jon] So what do you think?
[Kristina] This is a little underwhelming.
I can't wait to bust this up. [laughs]
It's bound to come down.
By '90s, hello '80s.
Never thought I would say that.
[Kristina] Bust some stuff up. [shrieks]
Ow!
-I'm enjoying this! -[laughs]
I think we have more of a challenge.
You know, their space doesn't have as much renovation as ours.
[Ashley] While the teams were mid-demo,
I wanted to hear first-hand what their gameplans were.
-Hey, guys! -[Jon chuckles] Hi.
Just tell me what the headlines are for this room?
-Extravagant. -[pipe bursts]
-And water sprouting in the air. -[Ashley] Wow!
-[Jon] Set the off! -[Kristina] Can you guys shut the water off?
Help! Anyone! Fast!
Sorry, sorry! Someone wanted to make a valve outside.
So we shut it off in here.
And we're back.
-So I think a water feature in the bathroom... -[laughs]
...might be something we consider now.
[laughs]
So I think some things are better left to
the demo professionals.
Just don't tell Ty and Alison.
[Ashley] Jon and Kristina weren't the only ones
who had some unexpected moments captured.
Here's an exclusive look at what you didn't get to see.
You actually eyeing that... behind that bush?
-Oh! -[Evan] Oh, my God, Keith.
Yeah, I'm good, sorry.
So here we are in beautiful sunny California!
I am talking to you without having my makeup touched-up.
What is it giving?
-You're my new favorite person. -[producer laughs]
I know you know this but my real name is Tygert.
-No, it isn't. -My name when I was born was Gary Tygert...
-No, no, no! -...Burton Jr.
-No! -And don't ever repeat that again.
-My name is not Gary. -What if I call you Gary from now on? [chuckles]
If you call me Gar-bear, I swear to God...
[Antonia] Should I open it, you ready?
-[Jasmine] It has to go in. -What's... What's the password?
-[Antonia chuckles] -[Jasmine] It has to go in, doesn't it?
[Antonia] Just have to go in, hold on.
-Okay. -[both laugh]
-We've locked Jasmine in the closet. -Wait, did I just
lock myself in here?
[Antonia] We've locked Jasmine inside.
[Jasmine] Can somebody please call the construction team?
-Construction team! -[Jasmine] We don't know what we're doing.
We were instructed...
[screams]
-Watch out! -[Anthony] Ow!
-Michel, what... what happened? -[laughs]
-If you don't get back in here-- -I think I'm stuck.
Everyone wants to know Gary.
Tygert.
[laughs]
All right, breaking news, Jasmine is locked inside of the pantry
but we will figure this out.
I've never been locked in a pantry before.
But, um, tune in tonight to see if I get out. [laughs]
[Ashley] For week two, our teams incorporated
their iconic toyetic features into their spaces.
So what we're building right now is our dance booth.
Ken was definitely a mover and a shaker.
Okay.
All right, guys. The dance booth is coming in.
Oh, my God! It's coming together.
This is so fun.
Okay. Alison, I think it's time to try this thing out.
-[Alison] It works-works? -[Ty] Well, let's try. So get in.
-Here we go. -[Alison] Uh-oh.
[Ty] All right, let me see some moves, let me...
[vocalizing]
-[both laugh] -[Ty] Hey, guys!
-[Kristina laughing] -[Jon] Oh, yeah!
You gotta be kidding me!
It's... I mean, obviously, it's cool.
It's not even close to being done.
-You get the concept of it. -We get the concept.
-Do you have anything like this in your-- -We do.
We have the best toyetic ever.
We've finally figured out our toyetic moment in Barbie's bedroom.
Ty and Alison have this amazing dance booth in their space,
but we have a bed that is going to talk to you.
It's gonna light up.
And, not to mention, our canopy bed is a focal point in this room.
So the minute you walk in,
you're gonna be wowed by this object.
This is our '80s decade, our '80s room.
How would Barbie love to have an '80s icon,
like, lull her to sleep?
-Oh, that's me. -That is you.
[Ashley] Speaking of icons,
there's no one more iconic than Barbie.
Here's the inside scoop on how we made sure
our girl always looked her best during the competition.
[Susan Kurtz] Hi, I am Susan Kurtz.
I've worked for Mattel for 27 years.
I've worked on 750 commercials.
I love working with the dolls, telling stories.
This is very important to make sure that she looks beautiful.
Barbie is beautiful.
First, I like to pose the doll, like, what's special about her?
She has a prosthetic leg,
so this will be forward.
She has a nice bent arm.
Great hair, so I used a steamer to help calm it down
without hurting the hair.
And then I use my curling iron on low
so I don't melt the hair.
Lastly, I always dust her
to make sure she doesn't have doll hair all over.
I think she looks lovely and I love pink hair,
so this is all good for me.
[Ashley] Barbie wasn't the only one getting the star treatment.
All of our teams were in for an incredible surprise from Mattel.
The dolls even had cameos in the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge.
Here's an exclusive look at when the teams met their dolls.
-Wow. -So cute.
[woman laughing]
-[Alison] Oh, my God. -[both] Stop this.
-[laughs] -Oh, my God.
I love that my hands are in my pocket.
[Jasmine] It is so cool, like, walking in here,
-and just realizing, every toy... -[Antonia] Yeah.
...you've pretty much ever played with started here.
[Alison] I'm so tan.
I'm sorry, babe. I love my doll.
They kind of nailed it.
-Oh, we look so cute. -Why are you my height, though?
[laughs]
They got the job suit, the heel.
[Michel] I really like him.
Does that make me a massive narcissist,
considering how less this doll's suit was like. I'm so upset.
[Brian and Mika laugh]
This is insane. Like, I would have never imagined as a little girl
that there would be a Barbie in my likeness.
-[Brian] That's pretty cool. -So cool.
It's almost sentimental. I gotta go.
[laughs]
Hey, beau.
I've been replaced.
♪ Let's take a plane ♪
[Ashley] Back at the Dreamhouse in week two,
Ty and Alison were working on Ken's '70s disco den,
when the amazing dancer Allison Holker Boss
came to help them with their moves.
[Ty] Just a second. Oh, nice.
-What's up, you guys? -Oh!
Imma warm up a little bit.
-Your hips are just so agile. -Yeah, I'm on fire, yeah.
-Oh, look at that! Oh, okay. -Oh!
Amazing. Okay. All we're gonna do is face forward, right?
And we're gonna go one, two, three, four.
You're gonna triple set. We go triple...
-No. -...and triple.
-Nope. Oh! -Oh!
-[Ty] We're struggling, I'll be honest with you. -[Alison laughs]
Right now we're struggling and we need help.
Okay, oh, God, what is that move?
That's not in it, surprisingly. [laughs]
I'm never gonna dance.
You just stare in the eye
-like you know what [bleep] you're doing. -Staring at you hard.
Yeah, but just look at it like,
-"I know what I'm doing." -[Alison] Got this.
Sell this like a it's a bad piece of property.
But the disco isn't about like it being, like, a perfect routine.
It's about connecting with the partner.
-Yeah. -So it doesn't... that's what make it not being like
-"Oh, your arms aren't perfect in here and there." -Yeah.
Oh, then... That's it.
[Allison Holker Boss] It's just the idea.
Roll two, three, four and then you go high with it.
-One, roll, roll. -Oh, yeah.
They have such chemistry and they are having fun
and that really is the true essence of disco.
Ty and Alison, I think might disco their way home with the win.
-Yes, I've taught you so much. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a proud mother.
[Ashley] At the end of week two,
both the '70s and the '80s brought the Dreamhouse closer to reality.
Welcome to the '80s!
[Jon] We've built this bed custom for Barbie.
So, if any of you wanna lie down
and say, "Bed, I'm tired."
Bed, I'm tired.
What's it like having a dream in the Barbie Dreamhouse?
Well, time to drift off to sleep
and see for yourself.
Is there a guide? [laughs]
[Ashley] The bedroom was dreamy with Jon's soothing vocals.
But nothing prepared us for Barbie's bubbly bathroom.
[laughs]
What? Wait a minute!
What is happening?
This makes me so happy inside.
-[Jonathan] The brush! -It's just magnificent. It's crazy.
[Ashley] The '80s bedroom had all the right stuff,
but will the '70s den light our fire?
-[all talking excitedly] -Oh!
And welcome to Ken's den.
Ashley, I need you to do me a favor.
-Because at night... -Yeah.
...this place turns into party mode.
Can you hit that switch for me?
-Aye, uh-oh! -[laughs]
-Oh, look at that! -[cheering]
[all cheering]
[Tiffany] Oh, we're feeling it!
-[Ashley] Whoo! -[Tiffany] Yes!
All right!
-Amazing. -Thank you.
-So we have one more thing to show you. -Oh.
And it's behind these screens.
[Ashley] Okay.
-Oh, my God. -[Jonathan] Oh!
-[Tiffany] The wigs! -[Ty] Yeah.
It's inspired by Mod Hair Ken.
[Alison] This is where Ken gets to transform.
You know, Ken just doesn't just wake up and look this good.
-[laughing] -Hands down y'all killed it in here.
-Toyetics in this space. -Stellar, stellar.
[Tiffany] The flooring is ridiculous.
[Ashley] Yes, it is.
Both spaces brought creativity and vision to Barbie's Dreamhouse,
but only one team could move on to the finale.
The winner of week two of the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge is...
Ty and Alison, Ken's den.
-What! -[Alison screams]
[Ashley] Congratulations!
You love winning so much!
[Alison] It's my favorite.
[Ashley] Coming up, more incredible behind-the-scenes moments.
Acid wash and color blocking.
You haven't seen a ankle that dainty.
Don't look at 'em.
[Kristina] Do you think my hair's big enough?
Oh, it looks good. You know the saying,
"The bigger the hair,
-the closer to Barbie." -[laughing] He just made that up.
Barbie has influenced me in so many ways.
With 60 years of history behind her,
well, Barbie is more than just a doll.
She was the first female homeowner.
She owned a home before women could even open a bank account.
That's so incredible.
Barbie is a cultural icon that has touched the lives
of countless people around the world.
-We were huge Barbie fans. -We were like...
We... Like, coveted our Barbies.
-We were like tomboys -They were--
-...but with Barbies. -...Barbies.
-[Leslie] But we didn't call them Barbie all the time, no. -[Lyndsay] No.
We would rename them.
-[Leslie] Yes. -Sometimes they would be Lyndsay and Leslie.
[both chuckling]
-Hi. Hi, sister. -Hi. Hi, friend.
She has had so many careers.
She was even an architect which is really cool.
[Mika] I'm channeling my inner Barbie right now.
She was glam. She was flawless skin.
Can we just zoom in on these shoelaces
for a second, though? Come on.
-[woman] Oh. All right. -[Brian] I was... You know, I was just
about to ask you guys.
-Let's discuss pink, okay? -[chuckles]
[Ashley] Brian and Mika couldn't get pink out of their minds
and neither could the rest of the cast.
Pink is one of the most human colors.
Always supple, somehow still warm.
I feel like real men wear pink, right Mika?
When I think about pink, it gives me energy.
Pink is in your face.
Definitely want pink shoelaces, pink bracelet
and are we doing pink eyeshadow or not?
-Mmm-hmm. -We'll do
-a pink eyeshadow. -[Mika] ...a pink lipstick.
There's so many different shades of pink,
-you guys realize that? -Of course, there are.
Coral.
-Yeah, coral's not pink. -Coral's not pink.
Coral is pink.
-[Alison] No, it's not. -It's in the pink family.
-[Alison] It's orange. -Okay.
-I love pink. Clearly. -Really?
[Ashley] As the competition heated up,
our teams put their pink skills to the test
with Keith and Evan's 90s themed front exterior
and Brian and Mika's Y2K backyard.
Here's a peek behind the scenes of Week 3.
[Patrick] We've been in the houses
for the past couple of weeks.
This week it's all about being outside.
Today we've got Brian and Mika
and Keith and Evan on site
and, uh, one's working on the backyard,
one's working on the front.
So there's the house.
-Yeah, um, it's-- -And there's Brian.
-[chuckles] -[woman] Yeah.
-[all laughing] -[Brian] I'm just dreaming. I'm sorry.
We're talking about how we're gonna beat you
-on the front exterior. -[Brian] Good luck.
-[man 1 laughs] -[man 2] Hi, Mika.
She's boss.
We gotta do some--
-[Brian] Please step away from our cars. -[both laughing]
-White, the pink accents with... blue -We gotta do pink.
-...and then the hot pink. -Yes. Yeah.
It's about me or the house?
-You. -Oh.
-Are you excited about doing the backyard? -Heck, yeah.
We just did some backyard stuff
and the views here are incredible.
Backyard's in pretty good shape.
Um, it's gonna get Barbified up the wazoo.
[Ashley] Each team had their own unique Barbie features
that were incorporated into their spaces.
♪ Mmm-hmm Yeah, yeah ♪
We only have a week to get this backyard done.
There's no way we're sacrificing doing like a mega size,
otherwise it's not really Barbie.
It's gonna kind of give you, like, somewhat symmetry
'cause you're gonna have a twisty, turny slide on one side
-and a twisty, turny staircase on the other side. - [Brian] I love it.
So you'll have fun going up and going down.
I mean, that's what it's about.
Win-win, in both directions.
[Ashley] Brian and Mika's slide was without a doubt
one of the most epic additions to our Barbie Dreamhouse.
But Keith and Evan also added a jaw-dropping feature.
We wanna add a handle to the top of the house.
[man] Like a suitcase handle?
Like the top of a Barbie Dreamhouse.
-So, like, a handle for a giant, basically. -[Keith] Yes.
This is an iconic moment.
It's one thing to come up with a fun concept,
it another thing to execute it.
Ah! The wind is intense.
[grunts]
Thank God, I can breathe again. [chuckles]
[man] This is our moment.
[Mika] What are these boys up to?
It's on, Brian!
-Game on, guys. -Yeah, I see you.
Y'all can't handle our handle.
I really didn't think they would do something that crazy.
It's the quiet ones, they're super sweet.
-[Brian] Yes. -Those are the ones
you gotta watch out for.
-Silent, but deadly. -[chuckles]
[Ashley] Each week, once the spaces
were fully glammed up,
it was time for our teams to do the same.
Here's a look at our teams getting ready
and their decade inspired outfits.
-How do I look? -Gorgeous.
This color is called highlighter
which, you know, feels very 80s-ish.
1960s, women in the kitchen, always have, like, a nice little pump.
-This is not the most efficient-- -[woman] But it was done.
-It was a 100 per cent done. -[chuckles]
-Then we had the super high bangs -Oh, yeah.
...or the super high ponytail.
-There we go. -Yeah.
-[Egypt] Fanny packs and neons. -[Mike] Light and lovely.
Acid washing, color blocking.
Too much eyeliner? Is that a little overkill?
[woman] I love the eyeliner.
You ever seen a ankle that dainty?
Don't look at 'em.
[Michel] You're going to the parent teacher conference
and I'm going to the afterschool special.
-Thank you. I do like teachers. -[man laughing]
[laughs]
-[Kristina] Do you think my hair is big enough? -Oh, it looks good.
Do you know the saying,
-"The bigger the hair, the closer to Barbie." -[Kristina laughing]
He just made that up.
[Ty] You know, life is short. You might as well dance
and look good while you're doing it.
We have to say words like "fresh".
-"Sup?" is from the 90s. -Sup?
-Yeah. S-U-P. -You know, "phat".
Phat. P-H-A-T.
Right. I understand that.
-"Take a chill pill." 90s. -[chuckles]
-"Talk to the hand." 90s. -[laughing]
[Christina] Oh, no.
[gasps] [laughing] There wasn't room for you in here.
[Mika] Time for a wardrobe change.
We gotta match our space and that shirt...
-Is this good? -Okay, hold on.
Now I'm just realizing,
I feel like all the design decisions...
This is our backyard.
...were made from your purchase of this shirt.
Donut flow, check.
Rainbow pillows, check.
-Pizza flow, yeah. -[Brian] Pizza flow.
[Mika] Pineapple, check.
-[Brian] Pool. -Pool, check.
-Fun. -Okay, we're getting there.
[Ashley] Once our Week 3 teams were all dressed up,
it was time to announce the winner
of the front exterior versus our back exterior.
Ready, teams?
The winner of Week 3
of the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge is...
Brian and Mika Y2K backyard.
-No way! -[woman] Congratulations!
[screams]
[Ashley] Keith and Evan didn't take home the win
but they were still great sports about it.
Here are some more fun moments
from Week 3 that you didn't get to see.
Our own adult Barbie playground.
I'm geeking out right now
'cause, yes, I had a Barbie Dreamhouse
but I didn't have all of it.
She's like a kid in a candy shop.
[Mika] I will say this, though,
I never play with the Barbie kitchen that much
'cause I don't really like to cook.
[chuckles] I know, right?
-That started as a little kid and it's still today, so... -[Mika laughing]
Barbie, you taking it to the next level
-with your elevator. -Let's go!
Going up.
All right, Barbie trivia.
What's Barbie's full name?
-Barbara... -Barbara Millen...
Oh, the last name starts with R?
I forgot the last name.
-[laughing] -[Brian] Oh, you can't ask questions
you don't know the answer to.
Are we done?
All right. That's a cut.
I'm Brian and Mika.
-[Ashley] Coming up... -[Tiffany] You guys might have came up with,
like, Barbie 2030.
[Ashley] One last head to head battle
for the pink carpet finale.
Amazing. I need it.
[Ashley] Plus, a peek into how we accomplished
-all of that Barbie magic. -Watch.
Barbie is beautiful.
Barbie is confidence.
Barbie is universal.
Ooh, that's a good one.
-She is excellent. -Glamorous.
Imagination and creativity come to life.
Barbie is every woman.
[Ashley] Barbie magic was one of our
most valuable resources in building the Dreamhouse.
Our producer Anna was the force
behind some of our favorite moments.
Here's a look at how we made it happen.
♪ Work ♪
♪ Watching you work ♪
♪ Work ♪
We've been working on this for months and months and months.
In the edit, Ashley Graham's doll is flying.
[woman] Oh, my gosh.
-[bleep] -[woman] Oh, God.
[Anna] What a big spin.
Action. And you step up to about here.
I cannot be more excited. I'm ready to go.
Action!
Hey, guys. Just got off my Barbie helicopter.
[laughing]
-[Ty] That is the grandest entrance. -Look at her.
-So stylish. -Great entrance.
-[woman] Very cool. -[man] Wow.
-You like my helicopter? -[woman] Yeah.
So what's really important for the show
is that we keep tying in the toy element of things.
This is way too small.
Let me fix that.
-[snaps] -Whoa!
-Oh, yeah. -It's that Barbie magic.
So we wanna consistently do
these forced perspective shots for something that looks big
and then once the person walks in
we see there's a toy thing.
-[woman] Oh, my God, stop! It's so fun. -Okay...
What is this?
[Anna] We've also done the reverse
with something like a... a big brush.
It's a little bit tiny, though.
All right. I don't disagree.
It could get lost in the room.
I think we use some Barbie magic.
Ooh, I like it.
[Anna] You put the brush far away,
it looks small in the hand,
but them you, when you walk towards it,
it's actually big.
It's a visual reminded.
It pulls at our heartstrings.
And Barbie is so loved
and so are her Dreamhouses.
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.
[snaps]
How'd you do that?
It's a little Barbie magic.
[Ashley] For Week 4,
it was Christina and James' dressing room closet...
versus Anthony and Michel's office.
-Hello. -[woman squeals]
-[Anthony] Welcome. -[Michel] Oh, my God.
-[indistinct chatter] -The office.
-Wow. -[man laughs]
[Anthony] We knew our office was small
but, like Barbie, she packs a powerful punch.
Stripes help enlarge it in a way because it's tight.
[Ashley] I love the dual desk fish tank combo.
[Tiffany] I love the book covers.
Feel like you guys might have came up
with, like, Barbie 2030.
It is ingenious. That wallpaper's dope
as it gets.
[Jonathan] Yeah, I love that you gave us, like,
a chic, grown up, like, power woman's office.
-It shows to me how much fun -[Tiffany] It does.
[Jonathan] ...you guys had doing it.
[James] Welcome, Ashley and judges
to Barbie's dressing room and closet.
[Christina] Past, present and future
of all things Barbie fashion.
[Christian] Amazing.
I love all the display element.
Like you're 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.
-[gasps] -[both] Yes.
[Ashley] It was another close race
for our Week 4 teams.
But there was only room for one more finalist.
You ready teams?
[all] Yes.

[Brian] There's gravity working.
Yeah, it is.

to walk through each other's spaces
for the first time.
-All right. -Here we go.

[Mika] We chose the lacquered paint
-to make sure it look like plastic. -[man] Yeah.
[Christina] Egypt and Mike,
-90s is a tough era in general. -[James] It is.
And the hot pink,
I'm just gonna say, very bold.
-[woman] Let's go. -Is this your space?
-[woman] Yeah. -Yes, yes, yes.
As he gets in he's gonna get shocked.
[Michel laughing]
Oh, nice.
Whoo!
[Mike] Nice.
-[Egypt] Anthony will make you laugh, -[Mike] Mmm-hmm.
-...Michel will make you cry with his designs. -[laughing]
She has to try on a new Day-to-Night dress.
-Barbie Day-to-Night. -[man] Night.
Not Day-to-Evening.
And who does she have a meeting with?
-HGTV. -[man] HGTV.
[all cheering and laughing]
Barbie is keeping the house afloat
'cause she is working in the office.
[Jon] When you walk into Jasmine
and Antonia's space,
it is just screaming 60s.
-I mean, that wallpaper. -Kinda like you know what era you're in.
-[Anthony] Oh! -[all laughing]
[Anthony] Well, come on through.
[Michel] Oh, it's a toaster.

-Is that... This is what it's for? -[woman] Can I join you?
One, two, three. [grunts]
[woman laughs]
I'm short, okay?
[Mike] Let's check out the backyard.
-Oh, look at that. -[woman] Whoo!

Brian and Mika.
They're gonna be the ones to reckon with.
Like, super out of the box, very creative.

Barbie, you going down?

[Ashley] Once the teams finished touring the spaces,
it was time to let the party guests
-into the Dreamhouse. -[all cheering]
[Ashley] While our influencers and guests judge the spaces,
our teams got to watch from behind the scenes.
-[indistinct chatter] -It does not understand the judging stage.
-Yeah, I didn't see the closet done. -This is where disappointment
will show up on their face when they realize
-that some of these people just don't like the space. -[woman] Ty, it's really good
-that you have a cheddar cheese on your finger. -[Ty] Mmm.
-Tor... Tortilla, seriously. -[all laughing]
[man] Relax, you guys are doing great.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Brian] No... Hey, no one's been back in the backyard yet. -[Mika] It's okay.
Is this what it's like
-being a producer -This is crazy. I see you walking around.
-...where you just sit back and, like... -I know, right?
-Just to see their reaction. -...listen to people.
I keep forgetting they hear everything you say.
My mic is still running right now, actually.

This, like, was inspired by my tattoo.
For Brian and Mika to create something in my honor,

There was no judgement.
It was a safe space
for me to be myself
and to be inspired by Barbie.
