Ugliest House in America: Hot Mess Midwest (HGTV, Monday, June 2, 2025)

Ugliest House in America

Ugliest House in America kicks off its sixth season of gloriously bad home décor this Monday on HGTV, and Retta is back in her right mind—I mean rightful place—at the helm, touring a trio of truly regrettable properties across the American heartland. Hot Mess Midwest (Season 6, Episode 1) airs at 9 PM ET and ups the ante with a new crop of hideous homes vying for the $150,000 renovation courtesy of design guru Alison Victoria.

This week’s lineup features a concrete “cave,” a decommissioned bank that’s now a house (with a bathroom…in the vault?), and a brick behemoth that looks more “dated pizza parlor” than cozy family dwelling. The homeowners seem unfazed, even proud, which adds another coat of weird to the whole proceedings.

Ugliest House in America has struck ratings gold by embracing the so-bad-it’s-good ethos of home renovation, and this season looks to be no different. Whether you’re a design enthusiast, a rubbernecker, or simply curious to see just how far the human capacity for questionable aesthetics can go, there’s something here for you.
