Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Ty showed a video of a family who had lost hope. They were desperate. The designers arrived at the house and Ty announced their arrival through a bullhorn. The family came running out of the house screaming and crying. The weight of their world lifted.

I cried.

They walked through the house and showed just how bad it can get. Life had dealt this family some blows, but despite their situation they were making their world a better place for others.

They stuffed the family into a limo, and started breaking things.

I wished I were there.

The "Braveheart" scene was next, an army of builders comes marching down the street, tools raised and screaming. The head builder said some nice words about what a privilege it is to be a part of this.

I wished I were there.

They build a house, go to Sears, show ten second shots of all the products they are putting in the house. They get the keys and move in the furniture.

Ty is out in the street working the crowd. The family comes home, the say,
"Bus driver, MOVE THAT BUS", the bus moves the family freaks.

I cry again.

Much like the directions on the bottle of shampoo. Watch. Repeat weekly. It's the same show every week and yet I cannot get enough of it. I love crazy Ty. I pray Ed doesn't do any more harm to himself. I wonder how the family is going to afford to keep the lights on. I hope that they pick families that will truly use this opportunity as a stepping stone.

Spoiler alert: Next episode is the 100th. Big reunion time. I think I'm going to cry.
