Extreme Home Makeover: The House that Ty Built.

“Extreme” really is the only way to describe the ABC show that sometimes blew up old homes to create new ones for deserving families. And sure, carousels and fountains in your home SOUNDS amazing, but when that bus moves on, sometimes families were left with astronomical electric bills and unfinished work in its wake.  Melissa is rolling up her sleeves for today’s story about Extreme Home Makeover, and she cautions you to put on your safety glasses  because the show’s host, Ty Pennington’s frosted tips are blinding. Between a few show reboots due to pending lawsuits and the need to tweak the show’s premise (families going bankrupt after the show wasn’t great for ratings), and Ty’s own brush with the law, this episode is full of nostalgic moments, a heated debate over Ty’s attractiveness, and a very necessary processing of feelings after listening to Tori Spelling’s new podcast.
