VANILLA ICE BRINGS THE BLING IN A NEW SEASON OF 'THE VANILLA ICE PROJECT' PREMIERING JULY 15 ON DIY NETWORK

New York [June 19, 2017] Pop icon Vanilla Ice, a.k.a. Rob VanWinkle, goes to Florida's Treasure Coast to tackle his next house renovation and flip during the new season of DIY Network's popular series, The Vanilla Ice Project. Premiering Saturday, July 15, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the 13-episode arc will follow Vanilla Ice as he launches his most colossal and lavish renovation to date - the transformation of a dilapidated 7,000-square-foot home into a contemporary oceanfront estate that features a rocket ship play space, an indoor hibachi grill room and a custom pool.

The new season features Vanilla Ice and his team of "construction ninjas" as they face time and budget constraints while restoring a sprawling but decaying property. Each episode features the team as they strip the home down to its bones and transform it into a modern, Polynesian-style oceanfront retreat. When Vanilla Ice is finished, the astonishing overhaul is sure to wow visitors for years to come.

"This season we're going to bring the bling," said Vanilla Ice. "There's no problem too big, no details too small, and it's guaranteed to be one heck of a ride!"
