“Why is it taking so long to get down?”
HGTV star Keith Bynum gave his peers quite the fright. The “Bargain Block” co-host joined his friend and the show’s real estate expert Shea Whitfield as they rode a slingshot amusement park ride.
“Me and Shea have done some crazy stuff together but this was one of the funniest! Core memory locked in lol,” Bynum wrote in the caption of his June 11 Instagram post, which includes a video of the pair’s slingshot ride. Off camera, Whitfield’s husband Terry exclaims that this was not Bynum’s first ride, saying “Keith gets five gold stars for going twice.”

Not all hosts were scared of the ride, as more and more chimed in agreeing with Elle’s assessment. “I haven’t been there in forever…so fun!!!! 🙌”, fellow Detroiter and “Steal This House” host Cristy Lee added, referring to the amusement park where the “Bargain Block” stars found the slingshot.

When Does ‘Bargain Block’ Return to HGTV?
Good news is in store for fans who are eager to see “Bargain Block” back on their screens, as Bynum, his partner and co-host Evan Thomas, and Whitfield shared the news in a June 7 post from the official “Bargain Block” Instagram page confirming season 3 of their show would be premiering on Wednesday, August 9, 2023.
