In season three of CBS’s popular reality show, Secret Celebrity Renovation, home improvement contractor and television personality Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano and acclaimed interior designer Sabrina Soto are continuing to make magic together as they combine their talents to transform uninhabited structures into the type of spaces you can proudly call your home.

Along with host Nischelle Turner (Entertainment Tonight), Rob and Sabrina have made miracles happen throughout the season so far, but the latest episode (airing Friday, Aug. 11 from 8:00–9:00 PM, ET/PT) will put everything they know to the test like never before.

In episode three of the hit series, Emmy-Award-winning comedian and actor JB Smoove attempts to restore a house that’s near and dear to his heart: his childhood home in Plymouth, N.C.

The house belonged to JB’s grandmother, Ernestine, and is still fondly looked upon as the "family home" where his immediate and extended family would gather. After moving away at age six, JB Smoove would return every summer. Unfortunately, after his grandmother passed away, the home became unlivable. Now, it’s in need of serious repairs, and JB’s dream is to restore this special place as a gift for future generations of his family and as an homage to Ms. Ernestine.

When the house is deemed unsalvageable because of years of deterioration, Rob and Sabrina have no choice but to inform JB that renovating his grandmother’s home won’t be as easy as they first thought.

“We can’t cosmetically fix this. I mean, you've got major structural problems, JB,” Rob explained.

"There are two options. Option number one is that we walk out that door and tell him. ‘Sorry, we can't do it,” Rob continued, speaking to Sabrina. “Option number two is that we have to redo everything. Walls coming down, ceilings coming down, new electric, new plumbing, and new heating ventilation. It's not like,  ‘Oh, we're doing the kitchen.’ Everything has to be done.”

Undeterred, JB makes his case for why the house can be salvaged and ultimately refurbished. Most of all, he explains why he believes that Rob and Sabrina are the perfect team to complete the mission.

“I’ve seen the shenanigans on Survivor, “JB recalled of Rob’s time on the show in 2002. “If anybody can make a bowl and a spoon out of coconut, come on, man. If you can do that,” explains JB Smoove as he points to the house, “then you can do that.”

Luckily, Rob and Sabrina have a Plan B, and it will be the first time that they attempt to pull something like this off in the history of the show. Fans will have to tune in to see what happens! One thing we can tell you is that JB is determined to restore his family home, one way or another. 

SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION airs on Fridays (8:00–10:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS.
