Retta is back to cast her discerning eye on homes that missed the mark—by a mile—as Ugliest House in America heads to the Southwest this Monday, June 23, 2025, at 9 PM ET on HGTV. The episode, titled Ugly-Fest in the Southwest, brings three uniquely challenged properties into the spotlight, all vying for a life-altering $150,000 renovation from designer Alison Victoria.
The contenders are a collection of design misfires: a “wannabe castle” that failed to achieve its regal aspirations, a house with a complete lack of privacy, and a home that remains firmly stuck in a retro time warp, refusing to acknowledge the modern era. As Retta tours each property, her commentary is sure to offer the kind of witty observations fans have come to expect.
Ugliest House in America specializes in finding properties that exemplify questionable design choices, often with hilarious results. This episode looks to provide more shocking reveals and plenty of laughs as Retta navigates each home’s particular set of quirks and aesthetic crimes.
The ultimate prize is a substantial makeover, transforming one of these disastrous dwellings into something truly desirable. It’s a classic HGTV setup: starting with an eyesore and ending with a dream, all powered by Alison Victoria’s design expertise.
