The home building TV show lets its viewers engage in the construction of a [waterfront property](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-boral), making it an [interactive reality show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretzel-crust-island) experience like you've seen before. If you're one of those viewers who sits on the edge of your seat when watching shows, telling actors what to do, Blog Cabin is for you. You'll *actually* be able to influence their actions. By collectively blogging, viewers contribute to everything from the floor plan to the paint colours by voting and engaging in dialogue on a daily basis. Once construction is completed, one lucky blogger will win the [vacation house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-cabin)!
