The sixth season of the Australian reality television series House Rules began airing on 7 May 2018 and ended airing on 30 July 2018. [1] The series was produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and was hosted by Johanna Griggs.

This season of House Rules consisted of new teams renovating each other's homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of $355,000.
Teams - This is the first season to include seven teams instead of the conventional six teams like in previous seasons. [5]
Prize Money/Auction House - In a House Rules first, the first challenge of the competition was for the contestants to renovate a home which will be sold at auction, the profit that is made from the auction became the series prize money. [6] The house was bought for $1.25 million and sold at auction for $1.605 million, which made the profit from the auction $355,000, which became the prize money for the winners of the season. [7]
House Evaluation - After each interior renovation, a property expert from Purplebricks valued each teams houses, they told the team evaluation of the house before the renovation was complete and then give them a card with the new evaluation. In the grand final, the final two contestants were given a new evaluation after the renovation of their front yards.

It was also held over 3 rounds instead of two and for the first time the homeowners also scored the teams.
Give Back Makeover - Chelsea and Wayde applied into this series, but the latter died from a head injury that was initialised by a cliff fall. This round wa devoted to renovating Chelsea's house as an act of kindness. Even though their house would be renovated had Wayde not died, this format change is temporary (only for this season). The remaining teams did an interior renovation and got a score out of 10 from each of the judges. The lowest scoring team was eliminated and the 2 other teams headed into the final.

The seven teams traveled around the country to completely renovate each other's home. Every week, one team handed over their house to their opponents for a complete interior transformation. A set of rules from the owners were given to the teams known as the 'House rules' which needed to be followed to gain high scores from the judges and the homeowner team.

Season chronology |
The sixth season of the Australian reality television series House Rules began airing on 7 May 2018 and ended airing on 30 July 2018. [1] The series was produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and was hosted by Johanna Griggs.
Season 6 was confirmed in June 2017 with Applications for the sixth season of House Rules open between 3 June & 31 August 2017 on the House Rules official network seven website. [2] [3] Season 6 was officially confirmed in October 2017. [4]
This season of House Rules consisted of new teams renovating each other's homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of $355,000.
Teams - This is the first season to include seven teams instead of the conventional six teams like in previous seasons. [5]
Prize Money/Auction House - In a House Rules first, the first challenge of the competition was for the contestants to renovate a home which will be sold at auction, the profit that is made from the auction became the series prize money. [6] The house was bought for $1.25 million and sold at auction for $1.605 million, which made the profit from the auction $355,000, which became the prize money for the winners of the season. [7]
House Evaluation - After each interior renovation, a property expert from Purplebricks valued each teams houses, they told the team evaluation of the house before the renovation was complete and then give them a card with the new evaluation. In the grand final, the final two contestants were given a new evaluation after the renovation of their front yards.

It was also held over 3 rounds instead of two and for the first time the homeowners also scored the teams.
Give Back Makeover - Chelsea and Wayde applied into this series, but the latter died from a head injury that was initialised by a cliff fall. This round wa devoted to renovating Chelsea's house as an act of kindness. Even though their house would be renovated had Wayde not died, this format change is temporary (only for this season). The remaining teams did an interior renovation and got a score out of 10 from each of the judges. The lowest scoring team was eliminated and the 2 other teams headed into the final.
