Bridalplasty - A new low

Lacan had said that we tend to protect ourselves from the real by believing that success is a given - we are born to be a success. Reality TV is an extension of that belief as it gives ordinary people a moment to be extraordinary.

In a new TV show called BridalPlasty it combines the worst aspects of several shows to come up with the most twisted idea possibly present on television. In this show 12 brides-to be live together in a house and COMPETE for plastic surgery procedures. That's right, women will participate in tasks that give them access to nose-jobs, boob-jobs, butt lifts, tummy tucks, jaw resurfacing etc. Forget that, the show targets a Survivor theme as the winning women will not only get the procedure, but there is also a voting system making the women scheme and plot in order to get other 'competitors' out of the house.

An example of such as task would be to build a giant magnetic puzzle over a current picture, and being the first ten allows you to grab a syringe and go to an Injectibles party, where doctors will inject botox into your face. Yep. Puzzles are not just for fun anymore, they will get your face stuffed with dangerous muscle toxins too.

You would think that their loving and adoring fiancées waiting for them outside of the show is still a sweet thought. But it gets worse. These women will then be revealed on their wedding days and their fiancée can chose not to marry them.

But really, what is the worst part behind all this? One of these women, will become famous. Just like reality TV is designed, one of these women will get famous and go from ordinary to extraordinary.

Here is a link, you guys can check out this atrocity for yourselves:
