Line 25:
** [[Muppet Cameo]]: The celebrities in the first 2010 episode.
*** [[Sesame Street|Elmo]] showed up a few seasons ago, back when Tracy Hutson was still pregnant. In fact, Tracy's unborn child actually kicked Elmo when he put his ear to her stomach.
**** Kermit took over as team leader for Ty twice, once when he had appendicitis and the other time when he was helping build homes for people who lost their homes to Hurricane Katrina.
* [[Celebrity Star]]: Rapper Xzhibit was on the building team for about a year.
* [[Cool House]]: The whole point of the show.
** Too cool, unfortunately, as some of the families [[Downer Ending|end up not being able to afford the house and find themselves in foreclosure]].
*** [[Subverted Trope|However]], in some cases, the hired contracting company will pay off their mortgage for them. And, according to [[The Other Wiki]], [[wikipedia:Extreme Makeover Home Edition#Reaction and criticism|only three people have sold their cool houses]].
* [[Enforced Plug]]: For Sears, Disney, and, apparently in the newer seasons, other Mouse shows and acts.
Line 37:
** The Stott family. The mother had leukemia and was saved by a bone marrow donation by a guy who helped with the project.
** The Okvath family in Season 2. Their eight-year-old daughter Kassandra was dealing with cancer, and had sent a video to the design team requesting that they help redecorate the interior of the pediatric hospital that had helped treat her cancer. They set her up with a redecorating team for the hospital and left her and her family to take charge of that project--and doubled-back to rebuild her family's home as well.
* [[Melodrama]]: '''''OH, BOY.'''''
* [[Men Don't Cry]]: Highly averted.
** If one of the guys on the Build Team isn't crying or teary-eyed, you're watching the wrong show.
Line 43:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: TY. NO, SERIOUSLY. JUST ALL THE TIME.
* [[Product Placement]]: Lots of it.
* [[Punny Name]]: One of the building companies is called Holmes' homes. [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|No, seriously]].
* [[Reality Show Genre Blindness]]: Every family that appears on the show in how they (over)react to their new house.
** [[It Makes Sense in Context]], considering that several of the families lived in giant rat holes, even though they may be encouraged by the producers.
