GIRLS is where boys and girls get to show how well they know each other, how effectively they can manage a budget, and how skillfully they can execute a design plan. Each week a boy or girl is given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their partner's "room". The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a clubhouse; but the "designer" has to first show his or her knowledge of the other person's preferences, hobbies, and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Next, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants learn measurement, spatial reasoning and principles of aesthetic design as they go through the experience. In the end, they find out if their knowledge and perception of their partner was on or off base.

		On Saturday July 2, 2005, WNDU-TV was unable to reschedule the aforementioned two hours of "core" educational programs into their designated "second homes" due to live NBC coverage of the Wimbledon championships. WNDU-TV does make good faith efforts to maintain scheduling predicatability when live network sports conflicts with "core" educational programming and asks that the FCC recognize Wimbledon weekend as one of the "isolated circumstances" when rescheduling into a "second home" is not possible. On Saturday September 24, 2005 WNDU-TV pre-empted two hours of "core" educational programming due to live NBC coverage of The President's Cup Championship. However, we were able to reschedule these programs into their "second home" on Sunday 9/25, 2005. The rescheduling fell with the FCC requirements.
