Put together one very run-down
house, a deserving family, several opinionated designers, seven days
and what do you get? The answer is Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition.
The show has won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality Program, plus
the People's Choice Award for Favorite Reality Show/Makeover and the
Family
Television Award for Best Alternative/Reality Program.
Each
episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is self-contained and
features a race against time on a project that would ordinarily take at
least four
months to achieve, involving a team of designers,
contractors and several hundred workers who have just seven days to
totally rebuild an entire house - every
single room, plus the exterior and landscaping.
