“Every season, I go in, and of course, I’m like, ‘Are you guys sure you wanna–?’ I’ll either be like, ‘Hey, can we talk on the side for a second?’ I’ll just be like, ‘Look, I’ve tried what you’re trying, and like, I have to say, is there another option?’” he told PauseRewind reporter Sabra Satz-Kojis. But often, there isn’t another option, because “Rock the Block” is a competition show with strict time limits and sometimes the competitors just don’t have enough time to come up with something new.
Pennington has tried to lend his design expertise to cast members on the show, but they don’t always listen. “There are different instances that, and I’ll particularly say this season, that I’ve walked in and stated, ‘Hey guys, this appears a bit empty. I believe one thing must be there,'” he explained. “But that individual design crew did it on goal. And at first, I used to be like, this can be a mistake. And later on, I noticed, it was a daring transfer that they deliberately did not put one thing there.”

That experience taught the former “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” host something important about his job. “That made me realize, maybe I should shut up and let them do their thing,” he said. “Because I noticed all of us obtained our personal inventive type of statements typically it is nice to simply let somebody discover their path and present you what they thought was actually distinctive.”
Alright, so Pennington clearly has his opinions about the designs on “Rock the Block.” So why would not he simply bounce in and compete on a season?

“At some point, I will even have to compete,” Pennington admitted. “But I really hope it doesn’t come down to it because I’m way too competitive. And I cheat. That’s probably why they’ve never asked me.”
“Rock the Block” season seven premieres on HGTV on April 13 at 8 pm ET.
