Each week in my home we see Ty Pennington introduce us to another family about to get an extreme home makeover.

Each week, the lady carpenter with the pink sweater and pigtails, who we are supposed to believe actually knows how to use a jigsaw scribbles some lines on a piece of paper and talks about fairies and someone being the cutest little girly-girl or princess.

The gay guy, who is called the "interior designer" - but who, from all appearances, seems to be a Sears sales associate talks about "macking out" the house each week while wearing "fashion" that we can only assume comes from a very down market Sears.

Last night, we saw that Tom Cruise has a brother, who is now on the show and whose big contribution was wearing sleeveless shirts to show off his shapely arms. AND, AND, AND... they found a way to squeeze in Patti LaBelle singing on a flatbed truck. It's all so confusing.

Anyway, here's my question / issue. Each week, these jello brains look into the camera with doey eyes all teared up and state, "this is the most wonderful deserving family". Does that weekly statement supercede the previous week's statement of the same? Are we working our way toward THE MOST AWESOME, SUPER, DESERVING FAMILY EVER IN THE WORLD by the end of the series. It's something that we watch at home waiting for the declaration of "the most deserving family EVER...." and bust out laughing each time.
