After the success of the daytime show, RTL launched the prime time version ''Einsatz in 4 Wänden Spezial'' - renovating whole houses instead of rooms. Wittler, now more involved in the production of primetime episodes started to alternate with less known and less popular co-presenter Almuth Kook of the daytime show in 2006.
