Battle on the Beach
TV Insider • • entertainment
Key Points:
- HGTV star Alison Victoria believes she was fired from Battle on the Beach due to her use of the word "canceled" instead of "not renewed" during a podcast episode in July 2025.
- Victoria served as a mentor and co-host on the show for four seasons alongside Taniya Nayak and Ty Pennington before being replaced by Sarah Baeumler and Mika Kleinschmidt, while Pennington remains on the show.
- HGTV announced the return of Battle on the Beach on June 1, contradicting Victoria's claim that the show was canceled, with new judges Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama joining the series.
- Victoria expressed mixed feelings about her departure, hoping it was due to scheduling conflicts rather than being outright dismissed, and she continues to work on other HGTV projects like Sin City Rehab, Scariest House in America, and Ugliest House in America.
