Under One Roof is a 2002 U.S. reality show on the UPN network. Hosted by Rob Nelson, the show's premise was to pit five families against each other to win a Fijian beachfront house. UPN has been criticized for having canceled the show, not once, but twice. After the first two episodes, aired in March and April, fared poorly in the ratings, the show was cancelled, then brought back again in July as a summer replacement, only to be pulled from the air again after airing one more episode. Because of the cancellation, the winning family of the house was never publicly revealed, although it is known that the Skofields won. The five families that competed were: ⁕The Distels ⁕The Paganis ⁕The McRaes ⁕The Hatmakers ⁕The Skofields
Join us as we take a look at the first episode of the new reality TV show, Under One Roof. The families grab their rooms and take the first challenge. And, of course, have their first disagreements.
There's nothing like a good joke to lighten the atmosphere as five families compete against each other. Unfortunately, there was nothing like a good joke in this episode, as accusations of racism and worse fly. Oh, and there were some competitions as well, and the first family had to go. This time, food becomes an issue, as does race and a daughter's thoughts on the game.
The Skofields (particularly Mike) just keep digging a deeper hole. But while the families may not be getting along, it's the challenges that count. Will the Hatmakers continue their streak as they have to walk across hot coals?
Teens look for peer support when the group stops talking to the family.
Two families join forces to drive out a third family; a villager delivers a scroll to the ostracized family ordering them to leave the island.
The Pagani's leave the Island at the end of this episode.
Eventually the Skofields win the Dream House, using their mental and physical strengths.
