Superfans of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition won’t have to wait until the series premieres on Sunday, February 16, at 9PM ET/PT to get their fix of the world’s biggest, most transformative, inspirational and aspirational home show ever.

The “16 Day Countdown to Extreme” will feature inspirational, humorous and heartfelt GIFs, memes, photos and videos spotlighting Jesse, as well as the show’s regularly appearing designers – Breegan Jane, Carrie Locklyn and Darren Keefe. Special guests Anthony Anderson, Derek Hough, Ty Pennington, LeAnn Rimes, OWN’s Laila Ali, Food Network’s Tyler Florence and HGTV stars David Bromstad, Tamara Day, Tarek El Moussa and Jasmine Roth also will be featured.
