‘Betting on Beloit’ Star Discovers Bizarre Lingerie Hidden in Renovation Project

Konya Hendricks Schuh, star of A&E's "Betting on Beloit" and daughter of billionaire Diane Hendricks, shared a peculiar discovery made during the renovation of a neglected home for the show's second season. While tearing into the drywall with her husband, Matt, and project manager Pete Woodkey, the team unearthed a piece of vintage ladies' lingerie.

"Oh, the wildest thing, in season two," Schuh told Fox News Digital. "It was just kind of funny. Matt and Pete were demoing a house, and they pulled out… it was more bizarre, definitely not sentimental, but we're in the drywall, ripping drywall off, and there was… ladies' vintage lingerie buried — so they pulled out this little lacy number and that was pretty surprising. That was new."

The show focuses on the family's efforts to revitalize homes in Beloit, Wisconsin. Schuh, along with her husband Matt, a plumbing contractor, and her nephew Connor Fox, aim to transform the city's most dilapidated properties into desirable residences. Their mission involves not only improving existing homes but also attracting new families to the area.

"We want people… and our talent to stay here in our town and not move away to bigger cities or more metropolitan areas, but then we're also really working hard to attract new talent and new families to Beloit," Schuh explained.

Beyond unusual finds, the renovation team has uncovered pieces of local history, including old newspapers, photographs, and family memorabilia from an abandoned attic. These discoveries offer glimpses into the lives of previous residents, such as one individual who received numerous awards from Beloit Corp. approximately 75 years ago.

"Whoever lived in that home, they had won a lot of awards… 75 years ago from Beloit Corp. So just kind of rummaging through all of that was a pretty cool experience."

Season two of "Betting on Beloit" features larger financial stakes, including a $975,000 Dutch Colonial that previously served as college housing. The property remains on the market, but Schuh expressed pride in the project.

"But I love it, and it was a great house to work on. I'm super proud of it," she said.

Schuh emphasized the show's core objective: to take neglected properties and turn them into desirable homes that contribute positively to their neighborhoods and become part of new families' American dreams. "Making these old houses that need serious love, and then we tackle those — we really ultimately try to make them really the prize of the neighborhood and really something to be proud of."

"Betting on Beloit" airs Saturdays at noon ET on A&E's Home.Made.Nation programming block, with episodes also available the next day on A&E's website and on demand.
