'Extreme Makeover' house faces foreclosure

I absolutely agree with you there. Neither the fault nor the betrayal lies with the misguided givers, however.

If by "givers" you mean the local volunteers, then I agree with you. But if you mean the well paid stars of the show or the producers of the show, then I strongly disagree. Ty Pennington is an insincere camera whore and the producers of the show are using the good intentions of the volunteers and of the viewers to line their pockets. I really dislike Extreme Makeover.

What...they turned down your family's application?

Just kidding you, glatt.

I meant the community, the friends.

Sure, there are people with ulterior motives, all the more reason for the family not to dive into the needy greedy whoredom all around them.

Mostly it's Ty. I've watched the show maybe 5 times, and he's so phony I want to see him get punched in the nose. That's where my emotional reaction comes from. The rest of my complaints are true though too.

Do you like Ty? I understand a lot of women think he's hot.

Nah, he really does nothing for me. I liked him when he was more of a sidekick on Trading Spaces (the darling Paige Davis made that show) but yeah, I don't think he's Mr Sincere or anything. If I were to go on just looks (which is very difficult for me) I guess he's cute but even then he's not like my dreamboat or anything. :p

I was just thinking, at the time I watch EHM there really isn't anything else to choose from on my limited network TV. I bet I wouldn't even have seen the show if not for the lack of choice. Same with the other very few reality shows I watch.

I think one of the things that bothers me about the show is the fact that at any given moment they could walk into any homeless shelter in the US and find a family that would love to have even the worst falling apart house from the show. The homeless families don't even have the video cam to make a tape to send in to even TRY to get on the show.
