BUDGET BATTLERS ON 9

21st November 2024

A RENOVATION SHOW FOR EVERY DAY AUSSIES 

  

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, AT 8.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 &  9NOW


Get ready to embark on a transformative journey of creativity and resilience when Budget Battlers premieres on Wednesday, December 4, at 8.30pm on Channel 9  and 9Now. 

Hosted by former Block favourites, Jess Eva and Norm Hogan, this groundbreaking  new series tackles full-blown makeovers with an unprecedented challenge:  transforming four different Aussie homes in four weeks on the tightest budget yet  seen on Australian television. 

As inflation, soaring living costs and interest rate increases keep the idea of home  renovation out of reach for many, Budget Battlers arrives to prove that dreams can  still come true – on a budget. 

The Budget Battlers team gears up with just $10,000 per home, a group of selfless  volunteers and only five working days, to inspire viewers with jaw-dropping  transformations, changing the lives of those who need it the most.  

In the season premiere, Jess and Norm meet Tim, a father of four who is always  ready to lend a hand, expecting nothing in return. Despite his selfless nature and  long hours on the farm, Tim has neglected the most important thing – his own home. Now is the time for the Budget Battlers team to step in.  

As the series unfolds, viewers will meet Sandra, a resilient single mother of three. In February, 2024, Sandra’s world was turned upside down when hail lashed the small  Gippsland town of Mirboo North, destroying houses and tearing down trees, leaving  a trail of destruction. 

The Budget Battlers team heads to the coastal suburb of Yorkeys Knob, outside  Cairns, where Gordon and Tricia lost everything when ex-tropical cyclone Jasper  made landfall on December 13, 2023. They get a much-needed helping hand as  Jess and Norm take on the monumental challenge of restoring their home for good.  

The season culminates in an emotional finale, where the team rallies around Jack  and Shae, who also lost their home in the 2023 cyclone. Among the many  challenges the team faces as the days tick down to the final reveal are tight  deadlines and the need for last-minute supplies to transform the damaged house into  a welcoming family home.  

With a new house to renovate each episode, Budget Battlers highlights the heart and  determination of struggling everyday Australians, who deserve a helping hand. At its  core is the unshakeable belief that, with tenacious spirit, even the most ambitious  renovation goals can be achieved with a willing attitude – and with a little help.
