Here are the TV ratings for the Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition TV show. This is the program that helps very obese people change their lives. The second season of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition typically airs Sunday nights on the ABC network.

These are the TV show’s ratings for the Summer 2012 season, the best way to tell if Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition is going to be cancelled or renewed for season three. (Actually, because of the long lead-time needed for the show’s stories, a set of new episodes have already been ordered.)
