Did you catch the 100th episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” last night? Hard to believe that host Ty Pennington has been screaming through a bullhorn for 100 episodes, huh?
The special two-hour episode, like others during the five seasons that “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” has been on the air, was full of tearful moments by the Swenson-Lee family who received the new home and the cast of the show. Clips of other families the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team has helped over the years were also part of the 100th episode.
Quintin Strack, the casting director for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” is setting the record straight. A common misconception about the show is that only very poor people who can’t afford a new home are considered for the series. According to Strack, “We have to be conscious of what we’re doing. We can’t give someone a big house knowing full well they can’t afford to keep it.”
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s” producers do thorough financial background checks, which Strack says “is the same as if you were applying for a job at the FBI.” The show also seeks participants who are “going to stay rooted in their community and pass their blessings on to other people.”
