Ty Pennington Talks ‘Rock the Block’ Season 7
The “Battle on the Beach” alum spoke with PopCulture ahead of the Monday, April 13, premiere.
“I was just like, ‘Wow!'” Pennington told the outlet of the pairs. “I didn’t expect the duos to be so dynamic, but they are. You just couldn’t script this, it was just the way [that] sometimes the universe works, and you’re like, wow, all these teams have turned out to be like a really good pairing.”
He went on to say that adding a celebrity aspect to the competition series “[is] always gonna be good TV.”
“But you’ve also got people who are learning, trying to find their way, working together for the first time, and they pull up some amazing stuff … and also some interesting stuff as well,” Pennington stated. “I think what’s great about this season is you really see four different teams and four different takes on a Vegas sort of ranch home, single story. You’ve got so many different opportunities to create a great atmosphere in a city that’s built on entertaining. I mean, what sort of better spot to really amp up a TV show about design [is there] than Vegas? So yeah, I love it.”
