American Dream Builders was a home renovation competition show that aired on NBC in 2014. The show featured twelve designers and builders who were divided into two teams, led by Darren Moore and Christina Salway. Each week, the teams were given a new project to renovate, such as a small house, a backyard, or a bedroom. The designers were judged by host and interior designer, Nate Berkus, as well as guest judges in each episode.

The show also featured Nancy Hadley, a landscape designer who advised the contestants on outdoor projects. Hadley would visit the construction sites and provide suggestions and guidance for the designers to create beautiful outdoor spaces. In addition to Berkus and Hadley, each episode of American Dream Builders featured a guest judge who was an expert in a specific area related to that week's project. For example, some guest judges were architects, while others were furniture designers or art experts.

At the end of each episode, one designer was eliminated from the competition based on their performance in that week's project. The winning team was also announced, with the members receiving a prize such as luxury home appliances or a trip to Italy. The final episode of the season featured the remaining designers competing to create the ultimate dream home. The winner of the competition received a cash prize of $250,000 and a spread in the magazine Better Homes and Gardens.

One of the most unique aspects of American Dream Builders was the way in which it blended design with entertainment. The show was not just about creating beautiful homes - it was also about drama, competition, and personal growth. The designers were often shown struggling to work together as a team, or having to push themselves to overcome personal obstacles in order to complete their projects. The show's emphasis on personal storylines, individual challenges, and interpersonal relationships made it a compelling watch for viewers who were interested in both design and reality TV.

The show was well-received by audiences and critics alike, many of whom praised its innovative format and the diverse backgrounds of its contestants. However, some critics felt that the show lacked the raw drama and excitement of other home renovation shows, such as Bravo's "Million Dollar Decorators." Despite this, American Dream Builders remained a popular show throughout its one-season run, and it is still fondly remembered by fans of home improvement television.

In conclusion, American Dream Builders was a unique and entertaining home renovation competition show that aired on NBC in 2014. Featuring a diverse group of designers and builders, each episode challenged them to create beautiful and functional living spaces under tight time constraints. The show's innovative format, personal storylines, and emphasis on design and entertainment made it a compelling watch for audiences. Although it only lasted one season, American Dream Builders remains a beloved show among fans of home renovation TV.

American Dream Builders is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between March 23, 2014 and on NBC
