UTAH'S HAMLET HOMES REVEALS THE 4 HOMES FROM HGTV'S ROCK THE BLOCK, SEASON SIX. BLOCK PARTY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TO SEE HOMES AND BENEFIT HOMEAID
THE 4 ROCK THE BLOCK HOMES ARE FOR SALE SALT LAKE CITY, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The finale of Rock The Block season six aired Monday, but tomorrow, you can finally see the homes. Rock The Block is HGTV's highest rated show. All episodes of season six were completely filmed in Grantsville, Utah and the homes were built by Utah builder Hamlet Homes. For contractual and privacy reasons, the 4 Rock The Block homes have been at a secret location, surrounded by a locked gate. After months of being inaccessible, public access will finally be possible tomorrow and Saturday. Hamlet is hosting a "Block Party" where the public can walk through the homes made famous by the show. Utah's Hamlet Homes was selected by HGTV as the official builder of all homes in season six. Rock The Block attracted more than 13.6 million viewers to season five and season six is already trending to surpass those numbers. All seven episodes of season six are set in Hamlet Homes Worthington Ranch community: their newest development in Grantsville, Utah. Worthington Ranch is located at 1167 W Blue Fox Drive in Grantsville, Utah 84029. The public can tour the homes from 10a-8p May 30th and 31st, 2025. There will be live music, giveaways, a silent auction and food trucks serving $5 plates (normally $12-$17). Five radio stations will be present including FM100 (KSFI), 103.5 The Arrow (KRSP), News Radio (KSL), Now 97.9 (KBZN) and 93.3 The Bull (KUBL). A silent auction will take place with more than 50 items. Items will include notable memorabilia from the show seen during season six. Items like signed sledgehammers from each of the design teams, Johnathan and Jordan Knights 'Goat House' and more. Proceeds from all auction items will be donated to Homeaid. Homeaid is a Utah based organization with the mission to eliminate homelessness in Utah. They do this by leveraging partnerships with local homebuilders and their resources. Homeaid in turn builds or improves structures to get homeless off the streets in Utah and into comfortable housing. "Homeaid is an organization that is super close to our hearts," said Tami Ostmark the Owner, VP of Marketing & Design at Hamlet Homes. "We work very closely with them on many community projects." Homeaid is a Utah based organization made up of competing home builders that find common ground in helping Utah's homeless population. "We come together as builders to help build homes for the homeless," continued Ostmark. "We will even fix bathrooms at existing shelters. Whatever needs to be done to provide basic levels of comfort to those in need." Donations for auction items at the Block Party weekend will help create more community projects with Homeaid. Each donation is typically multiplied by 8-10X in street value, because the builders are particularly good at extending the value with their premier vendors. The estimated 50 auction items will include: designer signed sledgehammers from each house, the tiny home in the backyard of Alison and Michel's house, Johnathan & Jordan Knights green house & goat house, the artwork that Michel painted in her house, gift baskets donated from companies and other items that were seen during season six on the Rock the Block. There will also be 5 exclusive designs of limited edition T-shirts, each for $20. 100% of the $20 donation goes directly to Homeaid. Hamlet will pay for the hard cost to produce the T-shirts as a continued charitable contribution to Homeaid. T-shirts are limited to 250 total (50 of each of the 5 designs) with a 'first come' disclaimer. There is no donation necessary to see the homes and enjoy the Block Party. However, if anyone donates $25, they will receive a great meal and know that they donated $20 of that to a charitable organization; that will turn their $20 donation into an estimated $200 in street value to help the homeless. All while touring the 4 amazing homes created by Hamlet Homes and designed by the celebrity designers. "We are really excited to raise as much for Homeaid as possible and for people to finally see these amazing homes!" said Ostmark. "It was such a fun and challenging project. The appraised value between all 4 homes was so close! So, the final win could have gone any way. The whole project has been an incredible experience that has brought our team together. We feel more than ever now that we can take on any challenge." Former competitors and judges that returned to the block on the veteran teams this season were star designer Alison Victoria (Sin City Rehab) with past Rock the Block champion and high-end designer Michel Smith Boyd (Luxe for Less) as well as home restoration dynamo Jonathan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer) and his New Kids on the Block bandmate and brother Jordan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp). Competing on the series for the first time, the rookie teams featured married home reno pros Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (Down Home Fab and Flipping) and renovation and real estate experts Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama (Renovation Aloha). Hamlet Homes was given special permission from HGTV to record behind the scenes footage of all seven episodes in season six. "We had a photographer/videographer on site the whole show. We are excited to show a peek behind the curtain on our website and YouTube channel," said Ostmark. The behind-the-scenes video was released Tuesday morning. "It's one big behind the scenes show around 15 minutes long. Really cool things that happened on the set that you did not see on the show. Birthday celebrations, a behind the scenes peak at the whole set, including the designers' trailers and how the show is filmed. It's really exciting content that we are so happy to finally be able to share." The behind-the-scenes show can be viewed at or When asked if there are any crazy behind the scenes stories that Hamlet is allowed to talk about, Ostmark laughed, smiled and kindly replied "no comment". The four homes seen on Rock The Block can be toured by the public at the Block Party May 30th & 31st. The four homes in the show are even available to be purchased!

Fan Favorite Michael Block ‘Very Happy' Heading Into This Year's PGA Championship: Relive His 2023 ‘Magical Carpet Ride' With Rory McIlroy
Michael Block's performance at the 2023 PGA Championship was nothing short of remarkable. The club pro from Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, had fans loving his every move. He shocked tour members by keeping pace and eventually tying for 15th place. Advertisement Oh, and he tossed in a hole-in-one on the 15th hole of the final round to boot. 'That was a magical carpet ride, for sure,' he said in an interview, looking back on the incredible run he made. It was the best finish by a PGA professional (those who teach the game) since 1986, qualifying him for last year's PGA Championship. And wouldn't you know it, the 'Block Party' will be back in town again at this week's major tournament. Michael Block's Heroics Michael Block is set to tee off just before 1 pm Eastern Time for the 2025 PGA Championship. He'll be with a group featuring Erik van Rooyen and Mackenzie Hughes. Advertisement Will he be able to duplicate the heroics from 2023? Block sealed entry into this year's tournament by securing a top-20 finish at last month's PGA Professional Championship. He said the goal at the tournament was to teach his son the fundamentals of golf and, if he gets them right, he'd finish where he wants to be. 'The goal this week was to kind of show my kid the nuances of playing golf, and I think I did,' Block said, according to Golf Digest. 'Keep it in the fairway off the tee. Hit the green. If you miss the green, get up and down, make a conservative chip, and then be a decent putter. I think I showed him a good way to do it.' 'And if I finish third, fourth, or fifth, or whatever it is, as long as I'm in the top 20, I'm going to Quail Hollow and I'm very happy.' How Happy Was He in 2023? Imagine how happy he would be if he duplicated what made him a fan favorite two years ago. Advertisement Michael Block's performance at the 2023 PGA Championship was something straight out of Hollywood. It was the third-best all-time showing for a PGA professional at the event. Block's performance included a hole-in-one at the 15th hole during the final round, which was one of the tournament's most memorable moments altogether. He didn't even realize what he had done. Not to mention, he was paired with Rory McIlroy for the final round, adding to the excitement and significance of his feat. Whatever he shoots, though, Block will almost assuredly have the fans behind him again. The 2025 PGA Championship, which will be held at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, will feature top contenders like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and defending champion Xander Schauffele.
