Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls hits the air with an awesome premiere on May 17!

Alex, a 13-year-old aspiring actress, says her room needs more pizzazz. She doesn't want it to be so ""kid-like."" (Bye-bye, giraffes!) Jeremiah, meanwhile, thinks his room is too dark. Besides, his mom ""just did the whole thing.""

Alex and Jeremiah have known each other since the first grade, but do they know each other well enough to help create the other's fantasy room?

This week's rooms belong to Kimmie and Jason, who've known each other for years. Kimmie is seriously into sports, especially soccer, and has a room full of trophies to show for it. Jason, meanwhile, likes to hang out in his room listening to music. He also loves to dance.

So how will their favorite things be played out in their new digs? That's for you to find out, along with seeing what special guest shows up in one of their rooms.

Okay, a new pair of kids is up for some big changes. This week the boy is Garrett, a 10-year-old who can't get enough basketball but is really tired of his room, which he says hasn't been changed since he was in pre-school. On the girl's side, it's 11-year-old Danielle, who loves animals and nature, but has had enough of the flowers all over her bedroom.

Nicki likes to travel and wanted her room to feel more exotic. She also wanted to lose the flowers all over her walls.

Nat, meanwhile, is an adventurer with a passion for pirates. His bedroom was way too boring for someone who imagines himself sailing the seven seas.

Mark dreams of a Hawaiian Tiki room, while Hippie-at-heart Taylor dreams of retro 60's peace, love and waterbed.

Matt's love of baseball inspires a stadium-like room, while Haley's passion for horses comes through in an indoor stable.

Justin's room goes from blah to cowabunga, while Megan's room changes from girly pastel to Miami bright!

Evan wants a room to practice for the band...and so does Rachael! Who will like their new room better?

Burnsey gets a hockey lover's rink room, and Shannon gets...a swimming pool?!

Michael and his brother Kevin share a bedroom; they want a ""boys only clubhouse"". Erin, who lived in Japan for three years, wants a sophisticated Japanese-themed bedroom.

Alex wants a playroom in Roman gladiator style, while Dani is looking for an homage to her mother's roots in India.

Akhil gets a galactic getaway, while Jennifer gets a boardwalk vacation.
