Ty Pennington knows how to make his new castmates feel welcome — by sharing an ear of corn, of course. The returning carpenter chowed down with newbie Joanie Sprague.

The handywoman isn't new to reality TV, however. She was the runner up on cycle six of America’s Next Top Model.

Host Paige Davis and designer Doug Wilson don't just hang around on set, they're also fellow crooners after hours. "Went to Brandy’s Piano Bar for the first time last night. It won’t be my last," Davis captioned her kissy face photo.

It's no surprise to find the TV host at the musical spot. She spent her down time after Trading Spaces starring as Roxy Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
