KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Team 79 was called last week by ABC producers for the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The show asked us if we could design the bedroom for a 12 year old boy who was really into robotics. The family has had some hardship in the past few months as the father of the family was shot at Radio Shack while working. In a series of shootings he was the only of the 3 people shot at his work to survive, but now he will never be able so see again as he was blinded because of the bullet wound. The team was honored and decided to jump in to help out. So, today they are knocking the house down and the family will move back in on Sunday. The only problem is that we have the Central Florida Regional this weekend so we have to rush back home to start moving in what we built for the house. Its pretty crazy, but awesome at the same time.

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That's really amazing! It'll be busy, but will be worth it seeing as you are changing someone's life. Do you know when the show will air?
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wow, that is so great! This weekend will be a LOT of work for all of you, but so worth it in the end!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
In one word, \m/.
It's always good to see teams getting tapped to do things outside of FIRST--best of luck to you in both efforts! (By the way, any word on what you'll be doing?) |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That is so fantastic! That show is one of the top rated in the nation right now, talk about some serious publicity! Plus, what an opportunity to help out a family in need! Wow, you guys must have done something awesome, congratulations!
Edit: Let us know when your episode will air!!! |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Hey just wanted to say that it sounds like a great thing your team is doing. Good luck with both.
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
This is a great thing you guys are doing. Even though the week will be hectic it will all be worth it in the end.

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That is going to be an AMAZING experience!
It's great not only that you got the opportunity to do this, but that you're actually going to take it, and change someone's life. I can't wait to see the show! |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
There is a description of their task on their website here. It will be a very crazy week for them. As far as I know, the episode will air in the next month but that's all the details they have so far.
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wow! And I keep trying to think of something else to say about it, but I seem to be stuck on "wow!"
Good luck, and have fun with the crazy weekend coming up! Heidi |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
What an awesome experience! These kind of things are what makes me proud to be involved with FIRST. Not that building robots, and teaching kids and getting them interested in technology isn't enough. I don't normally watch the show, but I'll definitely watch this episode. Oh yea, and Good Luck at the central Florida regional!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
whoa!!! way to go guys (and girls!) this is truely a one in a life time chance to do something that you guys will remember forever! CONGRATS!!!! let us know about details and your adventures with the crew of the show (ty!!).

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Way to go and good luck :) Exciting offer as well
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Awe man, every time I watch that show I get all choked up at the end. Now it's gonna have you guys on it. I'm gonna have to get a box of tissues and send the family out for dinner. Hey I smell a chairmans award. Congratulations guys, you no doubt deserve all kinds of credit for all the hard work you put into delivering FIRST to everyone. Thanks!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
aww this is sooo cool--i'm glad you guys are doing something great like this--enjoy and have fun with this unique project...cya up at ucf though...keep on making lives better everyone :)
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
either it will air april 16 or 26....i was listening to someone talk about it on the radio....they were saying they knocked the old house down and poured the new foundation last night....
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
you guys have any idea of what kind of robotic features your intrested in putting in the bathroom? Like a motorized shower curtain.
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
I wish I could be there to help. I watch every week, and the houses keep getting bigger. It's amazing! You guys are so lucky to have this opportunity.
Good Luck and have fun. :D P.S. let me know if TY is really as crazy as he seems. |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wear your krunch shirts for the show!! haha and have lots of fun!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
well the show will air in the next 5-8 weeks and probably during sweeps week so around may 9th i believe. both pauly and preston came to the school today for some taping and it was pretty cool. Thank you everyone for your support!!! We did wear our shirts today during the taping so you will see them then, but probably also on saturday when we get back from UCF (since we will still be dressed for the competition)(and ill make sure im not in my drag while theyre taping) so watch the show and ill hopefully see you all in orlando, chicago, or atlanta!!!!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wow thats amazing! (Of course its amazing, I'm the biggest reality freak you'll ever meet.) You should try get the family to come to Atlanta since the kid likes robotics.
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
this is definitly going to be one of the craziest weeks ever. 3 days of competion and then 18 hours of construction. i cant wait. it was awesome to meet the crew and we all wore our shirts for this part of the taping. watch out on the show for the krinch shirts and the sea of blue shirts when we turn it over.
thanks for all of the support everybody |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Question: Do you all get to demolish the house with the sledge hammers and such? I've always wanted to do that. Wow, I really need to lay off these reality shows. :ahh:

can you guys post pictures on your website, so we can get a behind the scenes look at this before the air of the show?!!! :D please keep us updated. you should deff mention about bringing the family to nats!!! that would be outstanding. talk to ty, he can do anything! |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
we will definitely try that would be awesome!!!! i cant wait to go tomorrow!!!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
congrats guys and good luck! :D
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That is really cool that you get to help others, especially if it involves something you're really into. But decorating a kid's room with a robotics theme is like Martha Stewart meets FIRST...somewhat of a scary thought;) . But still sounds pretty cool. Good luck with the Extreme Makeover and also at the regional.
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That is simply awesome guys. What a wonderful thing to do, wish I could help in some way, but I guess I'll be needed elsewhere at that time. Good luck.
w00t to FL FIRST |

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Great news, Great news! Have to say congrats, and that kid is gonna have the best room if it's done by Krunch - you guys rock, im kind of jealous that I dont get to have a robotics room *tear* but move way for my selfish desires and have fun helping out a family with greater needs! Hope the kid likes his room and keep everyone updated, this will deffinately be an episode to catch! Can't wait. Bummer is that it happens the last of the UCF regional, but i'm sure that you will do fine if you set your minds to it. Good luck and make a killer robotics room design!!

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
do you have any idea when this will be airing?

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
omg thats sooo cool!!!!
i wish our team could do something like that how did TY find out about you guys? do you have awesome sponsors or what then... have fun and g'lucK! ~Stephanie Team 1351 |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
we just finished up with the house this morning and the room came out awesome. our members worked from right after the competition (where we took chairmans! woo-hoo!!!) straight through the night till the crew booted us out of the house. just like build season, right to the last minute :) . this is truly one of the coolest experiences ever. thanks for all of the support. sorry we cant post any pictures, the crew was extremely strict on no photos, and any picturs that may have been accidently taken cannot be published untill after airing.
unfortunately we couldnt wear our krunch shirts (except at the shoot at school) hope to see everyone in chicago and atlanta. good luck to everyone in their upcoming competitions. |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
looks like you guys will remember this weekend for a very long time. Congratulations on your Chairman's Award, as well as finishing the house, can't wait to see it.
Great Job 79 |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Congrats to all of you! What they do for so many families on Home Edition is amazing. I will be waiting attentively along with my roomies for the airing of the show, as we do each week. Warning to all, it will be a tear jerker.....
Congrats again Team 79! |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
i just want to thank everyone for their support as we took on this extreme challenge. but without FIRST this never would have happened because they never would have found out about us. so I just want to give props to FIRST. Also all the other teams that would have worked just as hard as we did if they were in our situation thank you again for all your support. FIRST ROCKS!!!!!!!!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Hey 79, I'm gussing you'll be adding this to your Chairman's presentation, right? :)
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
I read that the house was finished in 79 hours, a record for the show. How odd... Awesome job, guys! :)

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wow, 79 hours, team 79, lol maybe a little coincidence in there? Anyways I just read the article and I really can't wait to catch this episode! Im anticipating already as alot of other people are, but hey, guess I got to wait and find out what the lucky people get when they unviel the finalized design! Go krunch!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
i think its a big coincidence, but we will definitely let everyone know when the show will air. and yes we did put this in our chairmans award presentation!!!
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
79 hours and 79 as team number is quite a coincidence
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
ok the time period of the show airing has been narrowed down between april 24th- may 15th. I'll post back when I know for sure. And i heard it might be a 2 hour show (dont know if that is true though).
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
That's just cool guys! Good job 79 ^.^
|
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Wow! You lucky duckies!!! I love that show!!!
I'm going to have to fight tooth and nail to get the TV to myself. |

Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
KRUNCH, I just want to say you guys (and gals) have proven one of the greatest aspects (in my opinion) in FIRST, which is dedication to not only to FIRST as well as your team, but also your community. You should be (if not already) one of the greatest inspirations in FIRST.
Good luck with everything that the future brings to the team. |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
wow you guys and girls are great. i really look forward to Atlanta now with you, 111, 67, 60, 365, and all the other great teams that won chairmans this year. i really look forward to competing with you guys.
I'm still in awe when i found out that you guys won 3 years in a row. good job. really good job. |
Re: KRUNCH 79 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
you guys are really incredible! i am still in awe.. that boy must be the happiest kid in the world!
