Plot [edit]
Destroy Build Destroy was a game show hosted by musician Andrew W.K. in which two groups (a "green or blue" team and an "orange or yellow" team, usually grouped by theme such as common interests) of three teenage contestants got to destroy various objects, then built vehicles out of the wreckage. The show featured high powered explosives, rocket launchers, bazookas, and other destructive tools. The winning team got $3,000 ($1,000 dollars each) as a prize, the losers' creation then got destroyed by the team of the winning vehicle.[1] However, if a tie occurred by the end of the final round, no one won anything, and both vehicles got destroyed.
Episodes [edit]
All of the episodes consisted of destroying the original item (car, jeep, etc.), then beginning to build using the remains. The other team picked the means of original destruction. Halfway through the show, both teams had a mini-competition. Whoever won the competition got to set back the other team. Then, at the end, whoever lost has to watch as their creation was destroyed (in means chosen by the winning team).
Development [edit]
The show launched on June 20, 2009, in Carver, Massachusetts,[2] as part of a new Cartoon Network programming block named CN Real.

The second season of the show premiered on November 4, 2009, and ranked #1 in its timeslot among boys 6–11 on all television with a total of 2.1 million watching each episode.[3]
