Who Won âRock the Blockâ Season 7? Breaking Down Each Teamâs Wins
Rock the Block Season 7 has officially come to an end, and one team emerged from the competition victorious.
Set in Sin City, the latest season of the HGTV competition series featured four new teams battling it out on the Block. And for the first time in the showâs history, the teams featured HGTV stars competing alongside celebrities with home design and renovation experience.
âThis is a genius idea. When I first heard, I was like, âWhat? How is this going to work when theyâve never met each other before?â Maybe itâs Season 7, and seven is a lucky number when weâre in Vegas,â host Ty Pennington exclusively told TV Insider before the Season 7 premiere. âBut Iâll tell you this season of Rock the Block is big. Itâs exciting, itâs flamboyant. Itâs like Vegas itself. Itâs a big show. Maybe itâs because the HGTV stars are working with reality stars. In many ways, they are just stars.â
Celebrity contestants werenât the only new twist introduced for Season 7. The winner of each episode got to choose between putting $3,000 toward their next design or adding $1,000 to their homeâs total appraised value at the end of the season. Like seasons past, the team with the highest appraisal value at the end of the renovation won.
Scroll down to see which team earned the title of Rock the Block Season 7 champions.
Kim Wolfe & Chelsea Meissner: WINNERS
Total wins: 3
Kim and Chelsea chose to add $1,000 to their homeâs final appraised value after scoring Episode 2âs win. Their âSmoky Sexyâ foyer, great room, and den design won over guest judge (and two-time Rock the Block winner) Michel Smith Boyd.
After losing a handful of design challenges, Kim and Chelsea scored their second win with their Episode 6 backyard transformation. They chose add $1,000 to their final appraisal value.
All of their hard work paid off big time during the finale, as they were crowned as the Season 7 champions.
âSeriously, I cannot believe it. It does not feel real,â Chelsea gushed in a post-win confessional. âFrom Day 1, I said I was with the best in interior designer here, and now, itâs proven to be true. I mean, she is way ahead of her time.â
Wolfe, for her part, added, âBut the magic truly was us together. It was. It feels like great validation, jumping in the creative current and the risk-taking and the momentum of this entire opportunity, and it just feels really beautiful.â
Scott McGillivray & Brooke Hogan
Total wins: 2
Scott and Brookeâs bedroom, bathroom, and closet design scored them the first win of the season during the April 13 premiere episode. The duo chose to add $3,000 to their budget for the next weekâs design rather than add $1,000 to their homeâs final appraisal.
Scott and Brooke earned their second win with their kitchen and dining space renovation in Episode 3, becoming the first team of the season to win two times. Like their first win, the team chose to add $3,000 to their next design budget.
Despite their Season 7 loss, the duo ended the competition feeling grateful for their partnership. âWe may not have won, but even knowing the result, I wouldnât have changed a thing,â Scott gushed in a season finale confessional.
An emotional Brooke added, âI donât even care. I had so much fun. I was crying because I felt so lucky to be here. It was the first time out of my shell, out of hiding, and I have definitely grown as a designer. Iâm feeling more confident in myself, and this will forever, forever, stick with me.â
Taniya Nayak & Drew Lachey
Total wins: 1
After three weeks of zero wins, Taniya and Drew secured their first victory with their multi-gen suite renovation during Episode 4. The duo chose to add $1,000 to their homeâs final appraised value rather than take $3,000 for their next design.
âIt feels great to get that first W,â Lachey said in a post-win confessional. âHopefully, thereâs many more to come, but just to get over that hump and feel what it feels like to be on that right track.â
The win was particularly meaningful for Nayak, as the winner was picked by their fellow competitors. âThatâs a huge compliment,â she gushed.
Though the pairâs house didnât win, Taniya said she was âso happyâ for Kim and Chelseaâs Season 7 victory. âTheir house is gorgeous. It really was anybodyâs game,â she said during the finale.
Drew agreed, adding, âIâm just happy for them because they had a clear idea of what they wanted for their house, and they just went for it. And they were rewarded.â
Speaking of their house, Drew stated, âThis is a place that somebody will move into and fall in love with and make so many magical memories, just like we made magical memories here, creating it. So, whether we win, whether we donât win, we won.â
Mina Starsiak Hawk & Vernon Davis
Total wins: 1
It took until Week 5 of the competition for Mina and Vernon to score their first win. Guest judge Luann de Lesseps was impressed by the duoâs transformation of the office, laundry room, and RV garage.
âI havenât won anything ever, so itâs a big deal,â Mina gushed in a post-win confessional. âItâs a great feeling. Iâm glad I have a win under my belt, we have one as a team. And now, we just focus on the big win.â Vernon added, âShe just puts so much into this⊠Iâm happy for her. Iâm happy for us.â
The team chose to add $3,000 to their design budget for the next week.
During the finale, Mina admitted she was âbummedâ that she and Vernon didnât win. âIâm so competitive. I want to win. We expected to win, and someone else did. And thatâs okay,â she told the cameras.â
Vernon noted, âI still believe we did a wonderful job. [Itâs] just like playing in the Super Bowl and not coming out with the victory. You gotta tell yourself, âHey, itâs gonna be okay.’â
