The stakes could not be higher for one contestant who is set to appear on HGTVs “$250,000 Challenge,” which is the latest home improvement-inspired program set to debut on the network on Sunday, May 31, 2009.
Kelley Alexander of Sherman Oaks, Calif., is a 47-year-old mother of two teen-aged children. She was selected to compete against four other families in the neighborhood “in a series of weekly home improvement and design challenges with the winner ultimately walking away with a newly renovated home” and $250,000.
The timing could not be better — Alexander was apparently served a notice of mortgage default and possible foreclosure action on the first day of filming the show, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Here’s a snip from her:
“We have a bad mortgage. On the first day of [the show], they put foreclosure papers on my door…. It’ll take about $50,000 to save the house.”
Sounds dramatic, which is more than likely the concept. Even if Alexander doesn’t win, hopefully she can somehow still save her home.
“Dancing with the Stars” winner Drew Lachey has been tapped to host “$250,000 Challenge.” For more details on the show, including background on the various homeowners expected to vie for the prize opposite Alexander, click here.
