HGTV's Battle On The Beach Cancelled After 4 Seasons, Says Co-Host

The Battle on the Beach has been washed away by the cancellation tide going on at HGTV.

So says Alison Victoria, who co-hosted the beachfront property renovation series with Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak.

In Battle on the Beach, three skilled teams hit the beach to renovate identical beachfront properties, with some help from Boston-based design expert Nayak (Designed to Sell), expert craftsman and designer Pennington (Trading Spaces), and Victoria, a "luxe interior designer" and host of Windy City Rehab.

Season 4 aired last summer.

In the latest episode of her Pap Smear Podcast, Victoria shared with guest Retta (Parks and Recreation), "I did a show called Battle on the Beach. I love that show. It was so fun and funny. And then all of a sudden, I watched the episode, I'm like, well, where'd all that [great content] go? I get it, it's a lot of content to try to put into 42 minutes, but where is it? Where's the great editing?

"You'll lose a show that way. I truly believe that," she continued. And in fact, "Battle on the Beach did not get picked back up," Victoria said, "which is sad, because it was like adult spring break."

Battle on the Beach is but the latest of several HGTV series to recently reach their apparent ends at the network: Earlier this month, the hosts of Farmhouse FixerMarried to Real EstateBargain Block and Izzy Does It all stated their shows will not be returning for additional seasons.

HGTV has not responded to multiple requests for comment on the apparent cancellation spree.
