This magic is conjured through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including the nation's top plastic surgeons, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists, and personal trainers, led by an on-camera Extreme Makeover expert. This season will feature more "news you can use" tips about fashion, hair and makeup for the home viewers also, so they, too, can experience a little bit of the show's magic.''''Each self-contained episode features two people, seen first in their "before" phase, then as they undergo their various procedures, and finally, in a climactic unveiling - the "after" -when the candidates reveal their new selves to their families and friends.moreless

    This woman is a kind and giving person and she would do anything for anyone that she could.She had her sisters children living with her and she also has her grandson with her. Her grandson has been with her for about nine years. This woman has fought breast cancer, and she also has a bad heart. She has a lot of neck and back problems due to a car accident. although she has all these problems she is still out there helping people that need help. She is in college working on getting a bachelor degree in Medical Assistant or she may get a degree in Nursing. She is one of the most hardest workers I know , very independent and tries to do everything on her own. I think that she would give the shirt off her own back if someone were cold. She has help me by giving me a place to live and supplied the apartment with everything I needed for it. She also helps many people with different things. She has a house that has a lot of problems the roof leaks, the wiring is malfunctioning, the foundation has issues, the roof needs replacing as well as the garage needs a roof and it's caving in. She has no insurance on it so if anything happens she looses everything that she does have. If anyone should get the extreme makeover it's her. Please help her and give her the gift of a lifetime, as she has done so much to help others and never asked for anything in return. She is going to college to be able to continue to help others in a different way. you may contact me by pat_daggett@yahoo.commoreless

    I feel so bad about myself I sometimes go into deep depression spells that I feel like dying. I am a 26 year old woman who is a DV survivor, foster child, and recovering addict. I am very proactive with getting my life together however, I want to feel good about myself and like what I see in mirror. At this time I dont feel that way! I am a single mother and I live on low income housing ,so as I am going through school, I have no money! I need teeth work and I'm overweight. Can you please help make a life changing makeover for me! That will make me so happy! I believe I deserve happiness since I have been through: sexual abuse 10times, had no parents growing up, a baby died, lost two other kids by my stupid choices, experienced domestic volence, homelessness, and currently a single mother trying to put the ieces of my life together! Thanks for taking your time out to read my post andy hope your life is blessedmoreless

    What was so special about Extreme Makeover was the emotion that ran through when first: The contestants first saw themselves and second: When the contestants family and friends first saw them. It made a person want to cry because of their overwhelming joy. The transformations were incredible. Changes beyond the contestants expectation took place before their very eyes. When viewers can't take their eyes off the set because they are afraid of missing the big "Reveal" you have to know you have a great show. The show was very professionally done and the crew was great to watch as well. What a shame it's gone.moreless
