ugly ducklings are not always swans. sometimes they are SUPPOSED TO BE DUCKS!!!

and we can only thank fox for this one.

simple premises. make average girls above average. through plastic surgery, lypo-suction and dental work. then 2 months of extensive training. oh. and they throw in therapy to "help self esteem."

i watched the premiere last night with my mother. i cried at least 4 separate times. this is an ugly, ugly show.

these women. are not ugly ducklings. they are normal, fault-full, lovely women. and it hurts me to know how horrible they feel about themselves. it hurts me to watch their stories about hard lives that they blame on their outward appearance. it lights the fire in my stomach to see therapy thrown in as a fucking side note to their recreation.

these women do NOT need to become beautiful through physical change. all it is going to do is make them EVEN MORE hyperly aware about how they look. i could see the vanity and shallow sense of happiness they had in their eyes when they saw their "new selves." and all it does is make me afraid for them.

this show is a flat out invitation for more women to feel like shit about themselves. let's just try an convince more women that if they just could look like a beauty queen all their problems would be solved. that they would find their true self and the weight of the world would be lifted from their shoulders (and thighs). please, let's.

and thank the lord for reality TV for giving us fat, ugly, worthless nothings a second chance at life.

these women need love. they need to find direction and purpose in their life. not a fucking makeover.
