"The Brothers have delivered another breakthrough hit, proving once again that our audience can't get enough of Jonathan and Drew," said Allison Page, general manager, HGTV, DIY Network and Great American Country.
Produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment, Brother vs. Brother showcased Jonathan and Drew as they went head-to-head in a series of home improvement challenges. To up the ante, the loser of the challenge faced dares such as dancing in an exotic male revue and wearing an embarrassing costume in the middle of a crowded public place. Online visitors to HGTV.com could check out additional behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive extended cuts and uncensored dares captured by Drew and Jonathan's older brother JD Scott.
The sale of both brothers' renovated homes yielded a profit of $88,888, which will be donated to the Southern Nevada affiliate of HGTV's longtime charitable partner, Rebuilding Together, a national organization that transforms the lives of low-income homeowners by providing critical home repairs to improve the safety and health of their homes and revitalizing the communities in which they live.
Jonathan and Drew Scott are hosts/executive producers of Brother vs. Brother. They also star in HGTV's hit series Property Brothers and Buying & Selling. Their new series, Property Brothers at Home on the Ranch (wt), will premiere on HGTV in fall 2015.
