Saw this a few weeks ago on an episode of Dr.Phil, and I couldn't believe it...
I think this clip sums up pretty well just how outrageous and silly this show is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu6TdZRQpSE&feature=related
The show is called Bridal Plasty and follows about ten or so women who are having weddings in the near future. All the women have a list of plastic surgeries they'd like to have done before their big day and the show follows them through these transformations. I was reminded of the article we had read a while ago about the tv shows "What not to wear" and "The swan" and saw the trailer for this new show and was shocked. A clip shown on Dr.Phil showed the women racing to complete a puzzle and then run to a table covered in syringes, grab one, and run downstairs where they were "treated" to botox. It was chaotic seeing these women rush for the syringes and run to the plastic surgeon screaming with happiness. What shocked me most was that these women were all very young, mostly around 20-25 and to see them so unhappy with their looks that they wanted to completely change them before their wedding day! For the show, they were separated from their future husbands for four months and the winner of the show would have their "big reveal" on their wedding day, at the altar.
The whole concept of the show is just so horribly superficial and it was sad to see that on the Dr.Phil show the producers were completely condoning the shows premise.
