Drywall repair for beginners, judged by a licensed pro who has seen it all. Adam and Maddie have never patched a wall in their lives, and they each get one tutorial to figure it out. One contestant watched a professional break down mesh patches, joint compound, and feathering technique. The other got an audio-only tutorial read by a comedian who might be her cousin. Then the holes get bigger. When that's still not hard enough, we cut Looney Tunes animal shapes into the wall and hand over duct tape, wallpaper, and supplies no pro would condone. One of them wallpapers over the entire hole. The other has a last-minute plan B nobody saw coming. Home service pro Don Vandervort shares real tips between the chaos: how to repair holes of every size (including the large ones), why spackle and joint compound aren't the same thing, and when a project gets big enough to call a professional.
