“Extreme” really is the only way to describe the ABC show that sometimes blew up old homes to create new ones for deserving families. And sure, carousels and fountains in your home SOUNDS amazing, but when that bus moves on, sometimes families were left with astronomical electric bills and unfinished work in its wake.Melissa is rolling up her sleeves for today's story about Extreme Home Makeover, and she cautions you to put on your safety glasses because the show's host, Ty Pennington's frosted tips are blinding.Between a few show reboots due to pending lawsuits and the need to tweak the show's premise (families going bankrupt after the show wasn't great for ratings), and Ty's own brush with the law, this episode is full of nostalgic moments, a heated debate over Ty's attractiveness, and a very necessary processing of feelings after listening to Tori Spelling's new podcast.Here's what the hosts are watching as of today's episode:Melissa: The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, PeacockRebekah: Quiet on Set, MAXRebekah gave the following clues for the next episode!TLCCULTSMULTIPLESWe are @criminalityshow on IG/FB + TwitterWe are @criminalitypodcastTikTok on TikTokYou can say hi and tell us what you're watching: criminalityshow@gmail.comEnjoy the show?

This is my story of being in love, on the run, my journey through Hell, and ultimately God's salvation. I'm excited about this debut album because people will get to see a full picture of who I truly am. I'm a writer on every song and I also co-produced many of the songs as well, because I had a specific vision for each one- that also included detailed visuals. I spent countless days and nights going over every detail for this album. My goal was to make sure there was personality and character throughout the entire project, so the audience can experience my journey on every level. This album is the truest reflection of my sound as an artist. Even though you hear some country trap and country pop early on. You feel like you're on the run with me, and my sound becomes more outlaw country the darker the journey becomes. This is my Old Testament.”Roberts continues blazing a trail toward success, receiving high praise from the industry and her peers. Roberts has opened for Reba McEntire, toured with country artist Jamey Johnson, and has performed with Luke Combs.

≈We had the pleasure of interviewing The Kentucky Gentlemen over Zoom video!The Kentucky Gentlemen just released a fantastic new single called “Whatever You're Up For,” and they're gearing up to release more new music!The Kentucky Gentlemen is the twin-brother duo of Brandon and Derek Campbell originally from Versailles, KY. We first discovered these guys last year when Mickey Guyton tweeted about them, and we (like her) were completely blown away. We started digging and quickly found their Love & Acceptance Concert performance of “Vibin',” an absolutely infectious song that was featured by CMT, who praised "Derek's twanging baritone and Brandon's timeless Southern soul.”The duo's follow-up single "Whatever You're Up For" combines their love of ‘90s country and R&B into one helluva country bop that perfectly depicts the excitement of a new relationship. Wide Open Country called it “an irresistible country jam that makes for the perfect first date soundtrack,” and Music Row said it's "a sexy, good-time come-on that is ready for any country dance floor. This jam is star-making stuff.”They've been making a name for themselves around Nashville this last year, working with songwriter/producer Chris Sligh (Rascal Flatts) and Grammy-nominated producer Matt McClure (Lee Brice, Dylan Scott).We want to hear from you!
