Jasmine Roth Interview: HGTV Star Teases 'Big Projects' for Season 2 of 'Help! I Wrecked My House'
HGTV's home renovation expert Jasmine Roth is swinging back into action with Season 2 of her hit series, Help! I Wrecked My House airing every Monday at 9 p.m. ET. After more than 16 million viewers watched the premiere season in the middle of a pandemic last year, it was no secret the show would return for another collection of DIY fails headed by the California designer. Premiering last week with an episode that found Roth helping a family renovate their dream fixer-upper that took a nightmarish turn, Roth teases PopCulture.com host Tania Hussain how the premiere was just the tip of the iceberg with this year's renovation disasters.
"This season is big," Roth explained to PopCulture, further detailing how being home for a year amid the pandemic inspired many homeowners to take on their own DIY projects. But not everything has gone according to plan. "People are home, people are working on their houses, and 16 and a half million people watched season one because they were home and because it was really applicable to what was going on in their lives."
Adding how she and the network got to do the show "right away" because of how many people were tuning in and the personal application to their own lives, whether it's a small project or a huge construction project, she believes the show can help everyone with their DIY endeavors. "I think the takeaway for this season is that so many people applied to be on the show. We did eight houses, eight families," she said, adding how they were all part of "big, big projects" this season. "Basically, there are people we just couldn't say no to. We were like, 'Oh my God, you did what? Yeah, of course, we're going to help you!"
