First of all, the host, as beautiful as she is, is terribly annoying. Actually all the lead characters are loud, fake & super annoying. I like the concept of the series but it's hard to get over the annoying screaming and yelling in excitement all the time. So I scrolled forward to the end to see what had been done. I enjoyed the makeovers. Some of the things they did were very innovative. But what I found the most annoying is the fact that every "deserving" person just happened to be extremely religious and a leader in their church and all the good they did through their church and so on.
For me it was like having these gawd-awful Christian values shoved down my throat. I don't care what your religious views are, I respect them, but keep them out of my face. If people want to good, that is great, but to do it for the sake of "Christian values" stinks in my opinion. All people should do good, not because of a religious belief but because that is what it is to be a good fellow human. Period. I love Christianity for its contribution to art but that does not cancel out the millions of people who have been (and are being) killed, tortured and still are being treated like terribly because of and in the name of Christianity (3/4 of Africa as well as most of South America, Poland, Russia and so on, all have laws against being gay all thanks to Christianity.) So. Great concept. But really crappy that religious views get dumped down our throats. And terribly annoying characters.
