we had this discussion last week as we looked up the "before and after" photos posted online of the "contestants" on The Swan
tonight i watched the show for the first time, and boy! what a show!
these people are already insecure about themselves in the first place, but to be ridiculed and examined by these cyborg looking "fabulous experts" on prime time national tv is just plain cruel. one of the new contestants is a 40 year old mother that suffers from self esteem issues; the "new me" is supposedly her chance to a new life.
now the "experts" wants to give the 40 year old a "must needed" face lift and nose bump removal,even though she disagrees. apparently the plastic surgeon is disappointed with her decision to keep her nose bump that's a trait in the family.
the funny thing is that there is also a therapist (Dr. Yanni?!) whos a professional consultant on the show.
She blatanly advised the contestants to work whatever anger they have towards the process into their fitness plan...nice suggestion.
"can this 40 year old pull it all together to make it into the pageant?"
WITH THE HELP OF 10 EXPERTS YOU CAN BE A NEW AND BETTER YOU!
HELP ME!
