The Swan
 
:wtf:

Seriously. Every time I think they've hit an all-time low, theymanage to prove me wrong.

Boondock Saint 05-02-2004 09:42 PM

Yeah, already renewed for a second season too.

AareDub 05-02-2004 09:47 PM

The commercials make me laugh when they say "even experts won't believe the new look!" I just wanna know wtf qualifies you as an expert judge of how hot a chick is after surgery. Seriously, I want that job.

Boondock Saint 05-02-2004 09:53 PM

And the weird thing about the show is, only some of the chicks are entered into the beauty contest thing. So it's like, "you're pretty now, but not pretty enough." :wtf:

el fregadero 05-02-2004 10:00 PM

I don't get it.

MVP 05-02-2004 10:13 PM

Yeah definitely the worst exploitation of ugly women since Rosie O'Donnell in Exit to Eden.

Yea, I noticed that. It's like "we just did everything possible to make you as attractive as possible, but you're still not as hot as this other chick. Sorry."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah it should just be called "Which plastic surgeon can do a better job"

Funky Fly 05-03-2004 03:21 AM

The what now? :?:

BCWWF 05-03-2004 07:50 PM

Yeah, when I saw the promo's for this I was just shocked at how low Fox can go. Just the fact that they referred to all the ladies as "ugly ducklings" before the surgery is just an insult to women everywhere.

The Icon of Elisim 05-03-2004 08:44 PM

To be fair to Fox they just stole the idea from ABC by combining Are You Hot? with Extreme Makeover

Funky Fly 05-05-2004 02:20 AM

So this is a show about plastic surgery? Reality TV is getting retarded(er).

When is this crap actually on?

Kane Knight 05-05-2004 02:22 AM

I actually have no clue when it's on.

I don't really seem to succumb to the shock value.

Though I suppose my mocking of the concept gets the word out.

I don't really care. I'm not making people stupid enough to watch it, they already are. :cool:

I think its on monday

Based on the ads, my understand is that they take two "ugly ducklings" (who usually fine but don't fit the correct mold) then make them go through plastic surgery and dieting for a while with no mirrors.

Then the person finally sees themself in a mirror and crys a bunch. Then some beauty experts judge which of the two is more beautiful.

According to the commercials this is supposed to culminate in the ultimate beauty competiton to crown "The Swan" (which I don't see the point of as the women have already gotten their plastic surgery, so some bogus beauty contest really means nothing)

Luckily, it's on the same time RAW is so I can conveniently miss it :y:

Even so, it is the highest rated "makeover"-esque show on TV. :-\

Isn't it nice to know that as bad as Raw can get, there's always a bigger piece of crud on?

Good News Gertie 05-14-2004 11:58 AM

I watched it Monday because I was curious.

One of them looked sooo scary after surgery.

Also, why are almost all of them blonde?
