In case you're wondering why 'Untitled,' well, John's design for this episode just defies a pigeon hole: it's his most daring and innovative yet, with so many elements of pure genius about it that the entire room could be lifted up and set in a modern art gallery.

But that's enough about the amazing Mr. Bruce — you want to know what's going on here! Ryan McCurdy and his roommate Cassie are students at that famous institution of artistic learning, SCAD (The Savannah College of Art and Design). They share a rented apartment together and occupy it in typical student fashion: it's cluttered, the furniture's well beyond its fashionable date, and it doesn't really reflect their personalities. But has it got huge potential! Located in Savannah's historic downtown, it's actually one of the oldest properties still standing and is said to be haunted.

Ryan — who describes Cassie as "my inspiration in life" — wants to surprise her with 'an ultra-hot experimental theatre' themed living room; a place that they and their friends can enjoy during their years at SCAD and with 'takeaway' elements that will stay with them for always. Over to John Bruce and the WYWO team!

The heat is on — quite literally — in this episode. It's pushing 100 degrees outside. Add in the humidity, and it's like working in a sauna. But none of this can stop John, Evan, Andrew and Leslie from creating some of the most amazing pieces of furniture and art you will ever see made on a budget of $1,500 and in less than two days!
