Extreme Makeover: ★Mimi Edition★

Last night's Extreme Makeover Home Edition was phenomenal. I'm normally not a big fan of the show and only watched it for Mariah. However, the family, the crew, MC, EVERYTHING was great!

"Finis, 28, was raised by a single mother in a poor neighborhood who also took care of his young niece, Jasqulon Gaston, and nephews Tyshun and Tyvun Morris. When Finis was 16, the straight A-student and sports enthusiast tried out for the Baker School cheerleading team. He made school history as the first male cheerleader, and his confidence and sense of humor made him a school favorite. His dream to go to college and earn a degree in social work came true when he was discovered by a cheerleading scout, who offered Finis a full scholarship to Alabama A&M University. But with just one year left to graduation, Finis' beloved mother unexpectedly died. He didn't hesitate to return home. Family comes first for Finis, and splitting up the children to be sent to foster care was not an option. He volunteers as a cheerleading and gymnastics coach and supports his family by serving lunch at the local school that he attended. Finis had put his dreams on hold to take care of his family."

You can view the episode on ABC.com or Hulu. Also, viewers outside the U.S. that can't access those videos can download the episode from MariahDaily.com.
