Red Arrow International’s “House Rules” heads to Russia

Munich, June 23, 2014. Red Arrow International's renovation competition with a twist, "House Rules", is on its way to Russia's Free TV broadcaster REN TV. "House Rules" features six couples putting their homes on the line for a life-changing prize: full payment of their mortgage. Repeatedly outperforming "The Voice of Australia", season 2 of Seven Network's "House Rules" has rapidly become Australia's number one weeknight show. With shares of up to 29 percent, season 2 of "House Rules" saw an overall audience increase of 19 percent. The format has also been picked up by Fremantle Media in France. Shakira Hoffmann, Senior Sales Manager, CEE says: "After hitting the nail on the head in Australia, 'House Rules' is now on its way to yet another major territory! With its win-win package, 'House Rules' is an excellent brand, offering a multitude of sponsorship possibilities and online extensions. I am extremely pleased that our friends at REN TV will be the first to adapt this great format in Eastern Europe." House Rules
House Rules sees 6 couples put the most important possession of their lives - their homes - on the line. And all for a huge, life-changing prize: full payment of their mortgage. Together, they travel across the country. Each week one couple hands over the keys to their own home to their competitors, who do a complete renovation in seven days. Each homeowner issues their own set of "House Rules" - a list of dos and don'ts of what is allowed during the renovation. But rules are meant to be broken! How far can each team go? A hard-core group of professionals, as well as the homeowners themselves, will judge the result. Will the teams return to a dream house - or to their worst nightmare? REN TV
