The Swan


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

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

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.

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."

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."

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.

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.

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)

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

I watched it Monday because I was curious.

One of them looked sooo scary after surgery.

Also, why are almost all of them blonde?
