‘Betting on Beloit’: Diane Questions Konya’s Design Choices in Season 2 Premiere [Exclusive Clip]
Konya Hendricks Schuh and Diane Hendricks are going big in season 2 of Betting on Beloit.
The mother-daughter pair return to A&E on September 12 for the sophomore season of their home renovation series. The new episodes will follow them as they take on even more ambitious projects in Beloit as part of their efforts to revitalize the struggling Wisconsin city’s charming historic district.

Konya and Diane bring a lot of resources to their ambitious projects. Diane, who made her fortune as a wholesale construction supplier, is America’s richest self-made woman. Konya is a savvy real estate agent with an eye for design. Together, they’re on a mission to transform a city that was once voted the “worst” place to live in Wisconsin by USA Today.
In Betting on Beloit Season 2, Konya and her team – including her husband Matt (a plumbing contractor and former home builder), good friend and project manager Pete, and her Realtor nephew Connor, as well as designer friends Kristin and Mitch – tackle larger, one-of-a-kind properties with tighter deadlines and unforgiving budgets. The stakes are high. They’ve made a significant investment into these homes, with the goal of attracting new residents to Beloit. But if the market dictates a different value, they could be left holding the bag.

In this exclusive clip from the season 2 premiere, Konya takes Diane on a tour of an under-renovation property. The house has been torn down to the studs. But even without the benefit of walls and fixtures, Diane’s eagle-eye spots a potential problem when Konya shows her the planned powder room on the main level.
“Oh, I think they should have put the door on that side,” she says.
“You and your opinions,” Konya replies.
“This house took a lot of design work, and we finally found the spot for the powder room. But then my mom walks in the door, and immediately the opinions come out,” Konya tells a producer.
The tour continues, and Diane notices more red flags. She wonders if space should be sacrificed for a dedicated dining room and a large kitchen.
“The living room feels a little neglected,” she points out.
“I agree the living room’s a little small,” Konya says. “And the dining room is big. And the kitchen is huge.”
“So, I think my buyer is a chef,” she adds, as Diane laughs. “I’ll market it that way.”
Betting on Beloit Season 2 premieres Saturday, September 12, with back-to-back episodes at 12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. (ET) / 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. (CT) on A&E. New episodes will air every Saturday and will be available the following day on A&E’s website and on demand.
