雙胞胎:最佳拍檔

登上節目 如果你想登上這兩兄弟的節目,條件包括要備有七萬美元以上的装修或設計預算。

另外,在完成翻修工程所需的六到八週中,不能住在房子裡;而且在此期間,還必須分別空出八天參與錄製拍攝。

如果你具備這些條件,就可以填寫一份很長的申請表。

你會需要回答一些關於家庭以及與配偶或家人之間關係的問題。

最後,你還得解釋為什麼需要德魯和強納森的幫助以及為什麼你值得獲選登上這個節目。

幕後秘辛 如果你真的雀屏中選得以登上該節目,螢幕後的真實情況會是什麼呢?

翻修改造一棟房子需要很多人的參與,因此這對兄弟會雇用當地的工人;此外由於兩人行程滿檔,因此並不會在房屋翻修上投入多少實際工作。

這對兄弟檔的成功並不令人意外;他們魅力四射又才華橫溢。

只要人們想購買並改造房屋,德會和強納森的工作需求就會源源不絕。

Getting on the show

If you want to be on the brothers' show, requirements include a renovation/design budget of US$70,000 or more. You can't live in the house for the six to eight weeks it takes to finish the project. Within that time period, you also have to be available for eight separate days of filming. If you meet these requirements, you can fill out the long application form. You'll need to answer questions about your home and your relationship with your spouse or family. Finally, you'll need to explain why you need Drew and Jonathan's help and deserve to be on the show.

Behind the scenes

If you do land a spot on the show, what's it really like behind the scenes? It takes a lot of people to alter a house, so the brothers hire local workers. They don't

do much of the actual work on the houses themselves because of their busy

schedules. It's no surprise that the brothers have been so successful. They are both charming and talented. As long as people want to buy and transform houses, Drew and Jonathan's work will be in demand.
