'Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition' Filming in Plymouth This Month

Two South Lyon residents will undergo their big reveal in Kellogg Park on April 14 after a year-long weight loss journey.

Plymouth is no stranger to film crews and as of April 14, it will add another production to its resume as ABC's popular reality show "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" films the final segment of a South Lyon couple. 

35-year-old Jason Cornellier and his wife, Rachel, 34, will film their finale segment and have their big reveal in Kellogg Park after a year-long weight loss journey. The finale is when the couple will get the chance to show their transformation to their family, friends and community for the first time.

"We think the park is beautiful, and Rachel and Jason love going there with their kids," Lauren Spiegel, an ABC Field Producer said about why Kellogg Park was chosen for the special moment.

The Cornelliers met in high school and since then adult responsibilities have become priority overweight loss, according to their biography on the show. Their 4-year-old twins are always asking them to do physical activities, and when they can't participate, they feel like failures as parents. 

ABC is looking for people to attend the free event as audience members. The event will take place on Sunday, April 14 from 3-7 p.m. If you’re interested in attending, visit www.onsetproductions.com or email extrememakeover@onsetproductions.com with “Plymouth Finale” in the subject line and your full name, email or phone number and the number of people in your party.
