For the first since I have watched this show I was disappointed in the choice of a family with an animal sanctuary. I am a biologist and I love all living things as much as anyone. It is admirable to have sanctuary for unwanted animals but never to the detriment of your children. This families house was falling apart because they putting all of their money into treating these animals like people. Wild animals are not people.
The keeping of venomous snakes made no sense whatsoever. All the native snakes should have been released to their natural environment. If they don't survive that is alright because that is the way it is supposed to be.
The education center was a good idea, however.
I understand that thousands of people request a makeover each week. I am sure that there were request from people with hungry or homeless children who were more worthy of consideration
