House Rules' Chris and Nick could secure the highest potential reno windfall
All contestants will secure windfall profits from the Channel 7 series which has its grand final elimination countdown this Sunday with a Monday winner announcement.
While the winner gets their mortgage wiped, all the contestants have benefited in differing amounts to windfall renovation gains. Channel 7 won't say how much was spent.
