After stanching bleeding ratings last year, judges Carter Oosterhouse and Taniya Nayak return for the fifth season of The Great Christmas Light Fight TV show on ABC. Since overall television viewership is typically lower in December, and this competitive reality TV series seems to be blessed with just enough seasonal spirit, so far, it has fended off cancellation. How long can that continue? Will The Great Christmas Light Fight be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC holiday tradition, The Great Christmas Light Fight, follows Oosterhouse and Nayak as they assess the creativity and decorating skills of everyday people (albeit ones with an abundance of holiday cheer). Over the course of six episodes, the duo considers those homes with occupants who take adornment to a whole new level. In the end, the winners are awarded a cash prize and the coveted “Light Fight” trophy.
