True Beauty

Has anyone seen this show? Well, I have. I am actually watching the show now. Jdog is complaining about her loss of brain cells and I am intrigued, drawn in, and mesmerized. Cheryl Teiggs, Monique Santiago, and Nole Martin a fashion god of some sort are the hosts. Cheryl is O-L-D and had too much surgery; Monique is dramatic; and Nole is the bomb. Did I mention that the show's executive producers are Ashton Cusher and Tyra Banks. Yeah so high drama. The premise is that 10 "beautiful" people are put in a house together and they are competing for the most beautiful person contest and they might get cash but definitely get to be in People's most Beautiful Person magazine.

So, there are bimbos and muscle heads. There is high drama, hatred, idiocy, and the like. Did I mention that there is a secret to this show - NO one knows that not only are they judged by their outter beauty but also their inner beauty.

So, how does it work - well, there is some test of outter beauty. Episode one had a plastic surgeon judge their perfectness; and then there is another test and it is really a test of inner beauty. Episode 2 had for instance a challenge to get three outfits for $100 and one group decided to pretend they were raising money and taking clothes for charity (bad!). There are two losers and they each go to the Hall of Beauty (which is a bad thing not good - like going to the legion of doom as a kidnapee).

Meanwhile at the Hall of Beauty - the judges stage one more opportunity for the contestants to show that they are innerly beauteous. One test, in episode 3, is the Litter bug test. As each of the contestants walks to the Hall, a man walking across the contestant's path throws a bottle missing the garbage can. Will the Beauty pick it up? One always does and the other doesnt and sometimes that makes the difference in who stays and who goes home.

So, the best part is the drama and the end when Monique says "This competition is more than it appears." or something like that. and then follows it up with Do you think you have inner beauty and the contestant always says yes, and then ROLL TAPE! I love that part of it. Totally ridiculous show and yeah so wasting 40 minutes watching it does not make much sense but it is like a train wreck and I cannot move away from the track.
