Here's Which Team Won the 'Rock the Block' Season 5 Finale

Sisters Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis added their name to the street sign.

Heading into the final episode, it's safe to say Bryan and Sarah Baeumler were the favorites after taking home three episode wins. The final verdict episode was judged by host Ty Pennington and Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott, who evaluated the homes before appraisers determined how much value was added to the final sales price.

If you need a refresher: The grand prize for winning Rock the Block is the team's name on the street sign.

Here's how the teams measured up before the finale:

Lyndsay and Leslie had just $5,000 left and added in an office space. They built out the home's third laundry room, complete with dog-washing station. Jonathan and Ty evaluated their tropical retreat and made note of the solar panels, wine storage, bold kitchen, and spa-like primary suite with a sauna and cold plunge. They questioned the location of the dog-washing station on the second floor and the necessity of three laundry rooms.

Sarah and Bryan had the most money remaining: $19,000. They added a curved statement wall with storage and a laundry room and splurged with their remaining money on a Jet-Ski. The judges toured the natural zen house and called out the zen garden, elevator, curved walls, custom wallpaper, and automatic screens. They weren't sold on the first-floor bedroom location and layout of the primary suite closet.

After the final walk-throughs, Ty and Jonathan delivered the final news. They reminded viewers that the homes were originally worth $1.7 million each, and each team received a $250,000 budget plus $25,000 for the pools. After the updates, every home appraised for more than $2.28 million, and just $20,000 separated first and second place.

After a dramatic drone show, the winners were announced to be Lyndsay and Leslie! The sisters were in tears over the news, and Leslie said she was "in shock and speechless." Their home appraised for just over $2.3 million, thanks to solar panels, backup batteries, the sauna, cold plunge pool, and climate-controlled wine storage.

HGTV shared the news on Instagram, and fans were left torn by the decision.
