Pimp My Extreme Make-Over Home, And Throw Some Dr. Phil Stank On It!! - 
by madeyoulaugh
Fox has taken an undeserving family who, for whatever reason, they seem to think America is fond of and given them the chance of a lifetime. New home, new clothes, and gave their dog a bath. All that and the told the BIGGINS family that all but one of them was obese. Hold please...I need a moment to clear my throat, for I am choking on irony.
What was a poorly produced, poorly cast, poorly edited night of television, did have a limited few good moments.
For the good, the bad, and the spawn of Dr. Phil....keep reading after the jump.
THE GOOD
Though as you will read, the show is mainly craptacular, there were some elements that made it worth watching.
First, the men of the family. Zekia, Omar and the dad Anthony are level headed, caring, sharing wonderful men. Anthony sweats love on and caring, something which has clearly rubbed off onto his sons Zekia and Omar. Anthony is a hard working man who supports a full family of five plus a dog. Watching these men get the opportunity of a lifetime would have been so wonderful if not for the screaming banshees that were the women.
After being berated and talked down to on the national television network that is FOX, Anthony still had nothing but wonderful things to say about his puffy wife. Even building a bench to reenact his proposal to her bloated, waterbed ass. Fancy shmancey bling bling of a ring included (do I need to tell you she lost the first two wedding rings he gave her?) Did she reply with tears, kisses and hugs. NO! Instead she, accusingly and unplayfully, accused him of lying about building the bench then went on to demand he tell her how much the ring cost and couldn't believe him that the ring was real. Ahh, that's love. I was just wondering why Dr. Phils son couldn't renovate this family and bitch slap some sense into this woman.
Which brings me to my next positive about the show. Dr. Phil's son, sans bitch slapping, pointed out the way she mistreats her husband which cause her to finally show emotion over something other than her shows being thrown out. She genuinely seemed embarrassed to have her flaws pointed out publicly. Certainly she seemed to feel no remorse over being a pool of lemon juice to Anthony's open wound of marriage, but she didn't like having it pointed out. So she apologized.
The house. Ok, beyond the men of the family, I hate to give props to the show, but the house they built it 7 days was pretty amazing. Extreme Make-Over Home Edition has got their competition out there with this crew. They didn't just build a house in a week, they built a truly incredible house, by anyone’s standards in one week. Toss a talking snake an apple tree and some naked couple in the mix, and it would have been damn biblical work!
That about does it for the good... but it may be worth mentioning, part of the design team are three blonde triplets who used to be bikini models.
Ok, now that does it for the good.
