I dare you to watch Extreme Makeover:home edition and not cry!
Watching this show last night and I realized that it is phsyically impossible to watch this and not cry at the end. Sure the 2 women bug the hell outta me, and I know the show is there to tug at the heart strings.
I was watching the episode where a mother gave bone marrow to a little girl she didn't know. And the house they built was amaziing!
I would have wanted that house.

I donated bone marrow to someone I didn't know, and I didn't get jack-shit from E.H.M.

I'm so able to not cry at this show I'm not allowed to watch it with my fiancee anymore, particularly because I can't keep my big making-fun mouth shut.

Didn't watch this one but saw one where a family lived in a small house in cramped quarters and with this show got a freakin' MANSION. Yeah, that makes me want to cry. Not! No more for me.

I couldn't possibly watch that show without rolling my eyes constantly at the cheesy way they exploit the families and manipulate the viewers.
If I were to cry, it'd be for the people who can't afford to live in their homes anymore after these folks pimped their house.

Then again, maybe I'm just way out of touch with my emotions. :P

'Extreme Makeover' house faces foreclosure
LAKE CITY, Ga. (AP) - More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC's "Extreme Makeover" team demolish a family's decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005.
Three years later, the reality TV show's most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis.
After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it's set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5. The couple did not return phone calls Monday, but told WSB-TV they received the loan for a construction business that failed.

I've always wanted to see some follow up stories on that Pimp my Ride show. The few times I watched it, the people weren't in the best neighborhoods and probably didn't have garages. Then they basically paint a big sign on people's cars that say "Plasma TVs inside" and advertise it on MTV.

KISS rocks Extreme Makeover: Home Edition -- 2/21/10
I know I'm a few days early on this one, but I just wanted to put this on everyone's radar.

"They want to rock and roll all night, and put up drywall every day."
Good on them for lending their support to a deserving family. Still, it's hard for me to rectify the sappy, rip your heart out style of EM:HE with the band that sang 'Love Gun'.
I wonder if they're going to perform as they blow up the house. That would be pretty bad ass.
