Ep 4. Battling the Bathrooms

In episode 4 of Battle on the Beach Season 1, titled Battling the Bathrooms, the three design teams continue to transform their beach homes into dream vacation destinations. With only a few weeks left, tensions are high as the teams have to complete their most challenging task yet - renovating the bathrooms.

Judges Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria, and Taniya Nayak are on hand to offer their expertise and critique the designs. The teams must create functional and stylish bathrooms that will impress the judges and potential buyers.

Team Ty (Ty and his daughter) is feeling confident and decides to take on the biggest challenge of all - creating a spa-like zen retreat with a lot of natural elements. Meanwhile, Team Alison (Alison and her childhood friend Mike) want to create something bold and unique with a colorful backsplash and statement hardware. They hope to balance function with style and create a bathroom that feels fun and inviting.

Team Taniya (Taniya and her best friend and business partner Kim) are feeling the pressure and are running behind schedule. After a frustrating trip to the hardware store, they decide to go with a modern and minimalistic bathroom with clean lines and a neutral color scheme.

As the teams work on their designs, they face a series of setbacks. The plumbing in Ty's bathroom isn't working properly, while Alison and Mike struggle with finding the right tiles for their backsplash. Taniya and Kim have to adjust their plans when they realize their chosen tile won't work with their design.

Even with obstacles in their way, the teams manage to pull off some incredible bathroom renovations. Ty and his daughter's spa-like bathroom features a stunning rock backsplash that serves as a statement piece, while Alison and Mike's bathroom evokes a modern beach vibe with their use of bold tiles and brass accents. Taniya and Kim's minimalistic bathroom impresses with its serene and calming atmosphere.

As the judges review each team's bathroom, they take note of the good and the bad. While Ty's bathroom impresses with its natural elements, the judges criticize the lack of practicality and functionality. Alison and Mike's bathroom earns praise for its design but falls short with its poor lighting and lack of storage. Taniya and Kim's bathroom receives kudos for its use of space and stylish design, but it is also deemed too minimalist and lacking storage.

In the end, only one team can win, and the judges' decision is a surprise to the contestants. Without giving away any spoilers, the winning team's bathroom impresses with its combination of style and practicality.

As the designers move on to the next challenge, they are more determined than ever to win. They know that each challenge is crucial, and they can't afford any more setbacks. Who will come out on top in the next challenge? Watch to find out in the next episode of Battle on the Beach.
