‘Rock the Block’ Season 6’s First Twist Explained

Pennington wasn’t able to share exactly what changes are being made to the “Rock the Block” judging this season, HGTV has already shared the first twist. Season 6 of “Rock the Block” will feature a “Vets vs. Rookies” casting theme, pitting past competitors against fresh-faced network stars, all hoping to secure victory as they renovate one of four identical homes in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

Representing the rookies are Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (from “Down Home Fab”), and Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama (from “Renovation Aloha”), while returning competitors Alison Victoria (“Windy City Rehab”) and Michel Smith Boyd (“Luxe for Less”), and Jonathan and Jordan Knight (“Farmhouse Fixer” and its recent “Camp Revamp” spinoff) represent the vets. While Jordan has not competed on “Rock the Block” before, he appeared as a judge alongside Jonathan in season 3.

“Mahalo for the laughs, you’re the best!!” Kamohai and Tristyn commented on Ty’s end-of-filming post.

“You’re a class act TyPenn. RTB wouldn’t be the same without you 💛!” Boyd added.
