Posing a challenge to avid homemakers and home makeover fans can bring about some very enthusiastic response. This is what HGTV, Asia’s only regional home focused channel together with SKYcable proved as they asked subscribers to convince them why their kitchen deserved a makeover.
The prize included a chance to attend the HGTV House Party and meet best friends and real life cousins, Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri more popularly known as The Cousins and vouchers worth P300,000.00 for a kitchen makeover.
Subscribers who participated in the contest got the invitation to attend the party at Discovery Primea in Makati City, and with it, a chat with the talented and good-looking pair. But it was one subscriber who walked away the luckiest: Shayne Grape who simply shared a picture of their desperate kitchen, which she wanted to remodel as a gift for her mom on Mother’s Day. When asked why, Shayne said “I wanted to give it to my mom as a Mother’s Day gift, since she has been cooking for us ever since we were born”.
She and the rest of the other subscribers also got to listen to The Cousins who gamely answered questions and took on kitchen challenges such as guessing the use of rare, Filipino kitchen utensils.
The charismatic duo, who have become faces of kitchen renovation on television since the debut of Kitchen Cousins in 2011, have gone on to star in other hit programs such as Cousins on Call and Cousins Undercover. America’s Most Desperate Kitchens will see the return of The Cousins who both run a New Jersey-based family construction company as they rescue desperate homeowners in need of a major kitchen overhaul. Homeowners looking for inspiration to turn their mediocre kitchens into masterpieces can tune in to America’s Most Desperate Kitchens every Tuesday at 9 p.m. on HGTV on Skycable.
