Too much on the insecurities and personal lives.
This is a reality show a tad similar to Extreme Makeover. Here, two women in each episode compete by giving oneself a physical makeover with plastic surgery. The winner of the two advances as to a beauty pageant competition.
The before and after transformation were breathtaking as you see the plain janes turn from, as the IMDb summary puts it, "ugly duckling" to a "beautiful swan." However, the entire process seems overly dramatic and degrading. Unlike Extreme Makeover where each individual going through their much-needed transformation actually leads to touching stories and hard work, this show delved too much on the women's personal lives and insecurities. And, for the pageant portion, points are tallied up after each "event," therefore, the TV viewer would easily guess who wins before the winner is even announced.
Much of the women had beautiful transformations, but a few others seemed to "strut" it out a little too much, especially contestant Gina Davis.
This show can be entertaining at times, but not as heartfelt as Extreme Makeover.
Grade C
