"The Unhandiest Couple in America"

"I know not everybody can build stuff from scratch, but there are certain home improvement skills that should be no sweat, like hammering a nail or hanging a picture," says KC as she tours a home belonging to two Marines whose walls are speckled with holes. While they're comfortable completing tasks in the military, Amy and Brian admit home projects completely overwhelm them so they give up. "I'd go as far as to call them the unhandiest couple in America," KC notes.

But not for long! KC spends a day with this pair and puts them through a DIY boot camp to get them hammering, drilling, filling holes and learning to complete projects. They successfully hang towel bars and a jewelery armoire, so Rachael has a surprise to help them keep up the good work. "I am personally going to give you a $500 gift card at whatever place in your community because I want to inspire," she says. "Plus, they're Marines! I love people in the service."
