A reality show filmed this weekend in Washington that followed “real” people in their “real” homes, and we are not talking about “The Real World.”
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” surprised one lucky family this weekend with news that would change their lives – a new home. Host Ty Pennington, along with his design team and a slew of cameras, arrived to the Hyattsville home of Nikema and Tamara Tripp on Saturday with the news that they are getting a new home. Hundreds of volunteers – including special guest volunteer, actor and producer Tyler Perry – will work 24 hours a day to finish the home in one week.
In addition, The Fishing School – a nonprofit youth development organization in Northeast D.C. – will also be made over.
While both the home and school were being demolished on Sunday, the Tripp family was being whisked off to — where else — Disney World. They will return to the big reveal on August 29.
