Over 10 weeks, celebrities are given the challenge of designing one room or area in 1 of 4 luxury villas. For the first few weeks, the celebrities are divided into teams of 3 or 4 to collaborate on their designs. The winning team will receive a prize and may choose another team to share their prize with. Each team is evaluated by the three recurring judges and sometimes, with a guest judge, in the show's ""Design Court"". The losing team will face elimination and sign their stars on The Floor of Shame.
