“Extreme Makeover” premieres; goes to Hawaii
I’ll admit, recently I haven’t been watching “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” as much as I used to. I used to watch it darn near every week. Last night, however, there wasn’t much else on to watch and it looked rather interesting. The crew was in Hawaii, for the first time in the show’s history. And I couldn’t help being enthralled by the stunning vistas and relaxing ukulele music piped into the soundtrack. I’d like to see who among you could resist Hawaii when presented in such a pleasing manner.
It was a pretty good episode too. The family was one of those ones who is a champion of the community, always looking out for others before themselves. And as a result, their home was inches away from being washed into the river. There has been some controversy, the family makes over $100,000 a year and the land on which the house was built was given by the state as a grant. However, I don’t think that should have made a difference in how deserving the family was. Hawaii is a very expensive place to live and these people were hardly living in the lap of luxury.
As always, Ty and the crew built a monstrous, gorgeous house for the family and yet again I wonder if they have paramedics on hand for when they reveal the house to the family. Because the lady last night looked like she could have maybe used it.
It was a long episode, as “EM: HE” tends to be these days. I think one hour would cover it sufficiently most of the time. But overall I was glad I tuned in and I’m still incredibly jealous of that soaking tub they gave the parents. I sure wouldn’t mind one of those!
