This episode isn’t that tear inducing. It does gets a little touching when you see Jodi get all emotional at the end of the transformation, but you’ll most likely stay dry eyed.

Overall Transformation: ⅗

Jodi’s transformation is more emotional that physical. While Johnathan and Tan did a great job on getting her a new wardrobe and hairstyle, the transformation really focused on Jodi’s view of herself as a women. Also she really didn’t need that much help in the food department, so her husband and her were able to go on cute dinner getaway in new look.

The sisters look absolutely stunning after their transformation and it is just incredible to watch. Also Antoni and Karamo worked to get their secret sauce bottled with a printed label.

Robert’s physical makeover was pretty jaw-dropping. He looked like a completely different person when he changed up his hair and clothing. It was also really nice to see Robert cook some health food for his family which was a good change from the more fatty foods he had been serving them.

Sadness Level: 5/5

A box of tissues is definitely needed to make it through this episode. Jess’ backstory is inherently very sad and watching her talk about her experience is heartbreaking. Bobby had a similar experience to Jess and seeing them bond over it is something very special, but will probably make you cry.   

Overall Transformation: ⅘

The most amazing part about Jess’ transformation is not her physical change, although she did look so great, but rather her finding her identity. Throughout the episode Jess really struggles to figure out who she is in the African American community and in the LGBT community. Watching her finally come to terms with who she is something very remarkable.

Sadness Level: 5/5

This episode is really pulling on all the heart strings. It is truly heartbreaking to see Rob talk about his wife and his struggle to keep going.

The tears were flowing.

Overall Transformation: 5/5

Rob looked ten years younger after his transformation. His whole look and the way he carried himself completely changed. It was also so great to see Rob slowly move on throughout the episode. Bobby was also able to make his new house look so incredible and that really just tied it all together.

Overall Transformation: ⅘

It was really nice to see Thomas come out of his shell and find his own group of people that have similar interests to him. He also cleaned up really nicely with Tan getting some nice clothes and Jonathan sprucing up his hair. It was also great to see Thomas actually cook something that isn’t tater tots.

Not that many feels here. Seeing Tony propose to his girlfriend was really adorable, but was not very sad.

Overall Transformation: ⅗

Bobby was really able to clean up his house and get it all ready for a new baby and it looked incredible.
