Fritz and Christina were given a life-changing experience, as they were able to change their looks in an effort to transform their lives and destinies and to make their dreams come true. This was all accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including plastic surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers. In addition, participants recuperate at the "Makeover Mansion," the new, luxurious mansion tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, CA, complete with stunning views, a swimming pool, fully equipped home gym and big screen televisions.

Fritz is a hard working, warm hearted man who is ready to tie the knot to the love of his life, fiancie, Christy. He's spent his whole life building things as a carpenter, running the family farm and taking care of his 3-1/2 year-old son, Jacob. But while he's attended to his obligations, he's neglected himself. Fritz is a "Mr. Nice Guy" who doesn't look so nice, so the Extreme Team now gives him the opportunity to make his outside appearance shine as bright as his inner personality.

Fritz's procedures included a nose job, chin implant, mini brow lift, ears pinned back, fat injections to cheeks, buccal fat removal, liposuction to abdomen and love handles, hair transplant, hair restoration, eight da Vinci porcelain veneers and crowns, and Zoom whitening.
