The show that has brought so much hope and love to so many families. The show that has brought happy tears to not only the families on the show, but people who watch the show at home. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is the show that I am talking about.
I thought I'd start a thread because of the last episode that aired tonight. It's the one that was about the Anderson family. The main man, who (I think) was 23 or so, was a great basketball player, Rodney. But one night, he was shot 4 times and was literally left there by the guy who shot him. The guy came up to him and said that he had shot the wrong guy and just left! So, Rodney (Correct me if I am wrong) was left nearly paralized (I forget the correct thing that he had).
The family of Rodney lived in this house that was literally a shack. A contractor (?) came, punched holes all over the place, took their money and left, leaving the family with pretty much nothing. They fit about 8-ish people in that house, they barely had a roof, and they used their oven to keep themselves warm. Worst of all, Rodney wasn't able to get into most of the rooms because he was in a wheel chair and the floors were all "uprooted", so to speak.
So, the design team had one week to do the entire renevation! As Ty said, "Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong!" It rained, the workers worked all night, they were running late. Ty had to make the toughest decision and called the family. They needed to make the entire renevation in 8 days this time! So, with the extra day, they got it all done, and did they get it done!!! They normally just make one house in 7 days, but this time, they made 2 houses in 8 days!!
The two houses! One was for the family of Rodney, who had supported him so much. They got a huge kitchen, bedrooms all to themselves!, and a ton more! The other house was for Rodney and his soon-to-be-bride to be. The entire house was specially designed just for him; the kitchen counters, the bed, and even, get this, a computer like on Star Trek!!! ;D He can command different things like his shower, his doors, and the door to his own weightroom that, you guessed it, is designed just for him!
So, my review over the entire thing, the most beautiful, joyful, peaceful, hope-bringing episode of that show that I've ever seen! The responce of just the mother was enough to bring happy-tears to my eyes! Her responce to the whole thing was really, really, sincere. *happy tears*
So if you haven't seen the show, I highly suggest watching it!! You probably have never seen anything like it before, and it's just awesome!
(This is just a thread for people who love/like the show and want to discuss it with the rest of us
