‘Bargain Block’ Trio Reunites After HGTV Cancellation: ‘Pretty Great Weekend’
The stars of HGTV’s Bargain Block shared a sweet reunion ahead of the show’s final episodes.
“It was a pretty great weekend!” Keith Bynum captioned snaps of himself hanging out with his longtime fiancé, Evan Thomas, and costar Shea Hicks-Whitfield via Instagram on Monday, August 11. “I haven’t been as excited about the future as I have the last few weeks. Life has an amazing way of guiding you exactly where you need to go. The more you fight it, the harder things get. Hope you all have an amazing week! #happy #detroit #detroitproud.”
The Bargain Block trio posed for several group photos while exploring around Detroit. Hicks-Whifield shared her love for Bynum and Thomas in the post’s comments, writing, “What a FABULOUS weekend! Drinks, eucalyptus, laughs and peaches 🍑😂🥰.”
Fans were happy to see the stars back together following news of the show’s cancellation earlier this summer. “I miss the 3 of you. My family and I have basically stopped watching HGTV. All our favourite shows have been cancelled. Keep pushing through….🦋,” one fan commented underneath Bynum’s post, while another added, “This was one of the BEST shows on HGTV! I will miss the three of you and pray for all good things in your futures!”

“Love to all of you. Can’t wait until the new episodes begin. Remember, we love you all, what you stand for, work ethic. Will follow and support you all wherever you go ❤️❤️❤️,” a third user posted. Someone else commented, “I miss all three of you. Your shows were like friends coming to my home with entertainment and knowledge. I love the genuineness about all three of you. And that you were helping people not just getting rich. Many blessings on all you in your next chapter.”
Bargain Block premiered on HGTV in 2021 and follows Bynum and Thomas as they restore houses in Detroit. The couple are assisted by Hicks-Whitfield, a real estate expert, in finding homes to renovate and selling them once the transformation is complete.
Back in June, Bynum revealed in an Instagram Story Q&A that the show had not been picked up for a fifth season. “We do have a few more episodes coming out in August, actually starting on Evan’s birthday,” he told his fans. “But they are the remainder of Season 4 ’cause they did not renew the show for Season 5.”
Bargain Block is one of several HGTV shows that have met the chopping block since June, including Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas.
In a July 10 Instagram Story post, Bynum revealed that he’s “looking forward” to watching the final episode of Bargain Block. “It’ll be a lot of emotions that day, but it’ll also be officially the turn of a new page,” he said. “And I think Evan and me and Shea are ready for it. But the next page is going to be quite fun.”

Im looking forward to seeing their last shows. HGTV blew it when they cancelled fan favorites. I don’t watch HGTV because of it. I don’t like the direction the station is taking. Bring back the OLD HGTV.

I think it's a shame that this wonderful show got canceled these guys were awesome I loved watching them. N how they were bringing Detroit back. How amazing they were at making these run down houses look fabulous n they also lived in them. N would recycle many items they'd find in the trash, on the curbs n refurbish them. N the neighbors would come out to talk a lil. N some asked to see inside n 1 neighbor actually bought one of the immediately. They were great for Detroit n I believe that that's why HGTV canceled them. Shame on HGTV

HGTV has pretty much canceled all the shows I enjoyed. Bargain Block was the best. There is something very wrong at HGTV. I don't watch it anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I am so disappointed in HGTV! They cancel good shows and shove other ones at us! I will miss Bargain Block so much! I loved the way the 3 of you accomplished tasks that improved neighborhoods and made it possible for people to have a " home"

HGTV has it wrong. As a viewer i want to see ideas and outputs from professional designers.The likes of Scott Brothers or teen mom do not bring the skills. Whatever happened to the "G" in HGTV?

Their show was the most creative one on HGTV because they couldn't just throw money at every project, and Keith always came up with the goods/style. Evan's building and finishing skills were top notch, and Shea had all the marketing and financial perspective.

HGTV has made a very bad mistake . Canceling Bargin Block They were really helping Detroit and it’s citizens. Keith,Even and Shea are just themselves doing their jobs excedling well. Unlike the polished money making Twins.No more hgtv for me.

Do not watch HGTV any longer-boring. Very sad because the shows axed were the best shows
for different reasons. I have stated before that HGTV executives made a horrible mistake. No
reason to see that channel. They could have worked around the cost of the shows, sat with the people
in the shows and negotiated a better deal. Just plain stupidly.

Craziness...this show was not only personable and funny but relatable...not everyone can afford an $150,000 renovation. HGTV is steadily leaving their core viewers behind.

But they keep Zillow Gone Wild!! I hope hgtv realizes their mistake.
I see a trend here, African Americans & LGBT community. Racist & homophobic

I’m disgusted with HGTV for cancelling this show as well as Farmhouse Fixer! Both shows are interesting and entertaining! Zillow Gone Wild?? Why?? Another round of Househunters?? YAWN! Please someone start a network to compete and pick up these two shows!

Bargain Block was great! So sorry it was cancelled! It’s the only
show I watch on HGTV! Cast is awesome - watch the repeats constantly! Hopefully they will have another show on another network! If I get to Detroit I’ll certainly look up their resale store! Keep up the great work guys!

Keith, Evan and She’s. Best this happened as Hgtv
Has lost there edge. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Hgtv, you’re cancelled.
And whom ever thought all of this has no decision making skills at all. You all need to
Move to a different network or create
Your own.

This was my favorite show on HGTV. These hardworking guys and Shea are the best. Give them a new show in NOLA, or fixing homes for victims of disasters.

My ENTIRE family (different household’s) don’t watch HGTV at all. HGTV was on at least one television in my house all day. The shows that were cancelled to the shows they added or brought back doesn’t make viewers sense. Something SMELLS FISHY about what/who was behind the decision to cancel some of these shows. Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach Christina and Tarek need to all come together and collaborate with shows on YouTube or another media platform. My ENTIRE family will watch!

Bargain block was a breath of fresh air. They're a talented couple who are real, hard working and joyful to watch.
A lot of others are in it for the money and it shows.
You will lose many viewers over this unwise cancellation
