Thousands of people showed up to the Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo early Saturday morning to be shuttled to the Extreme Makeover Home for the big reveal and to see the stars. Some people arrived at 6am to get toward the front of the line. "It's so exciting to see them come here. I never thought they would," spectator Candy Murphy said.

"I was down the other day to see part of it on Thursday and I wanted to come down to see what the final outcome is," Guy Smith said.

The crowds of people were excited but also a little rowdy and some of the bus drivers said the adults were more hyper than the kids. "Yes, worse... but we're having a blast, this is so much fun," a bus driver said.

Bus after bus left the marina and headed to the house for an extreme makeover experience right in Buffalo. "It puts us on the map... rather than Buffalo known for snowstorms or losing four super bowls, this is a plus for us right now," Smith said.

"Just the feeling of the community and the... team spirit that there is, unbelievable," another spectator said.
