I remember when “The Swan” came out.
Everyone loved it.
Anything with some sort of transformation is popular, but this was so dramatic.
My mom and I watched every episode.
It never occurred to me at the time how disgusting that whole idea was.
Another offender-
America’s Next Top Model.
Dear lord!
Those poor girls.
Tyra Banks is a monster and treated these, basically children, like trash cans for entertainment purposes.
Janice Dickenson did the same but she never claimed to be anything but a horrible ■■■■■.
I knew a woman who was a finalist on The Batchelor (early season) and she was so humiliated from the experience she eventually had to quit her job.
What is your opinion on reality TV?
I think it’s cruel.

The Swan is certainly messed up, but like a fiery train wreck, I couldn’t help but watch it.
This was also circa Joe Millionaire, I believe— where they had an Average Joe dupe ladies into believing he was wealthy and then at the end, spring the fact he was actually a plumber on them only to see if they still loved him or not.
Also, this moment is forever located in the Reality TV Hall of Fame/Shame:

I remember Joe Millionaire.
At least he was actually cute.
If I remember correctly.
Classic Tyra moment.
She’s a trashcan.

Those “makeovers” she used to give the girls were atrocious and served no purpose except to humiliate them. “Editorial look” my ass

When they cut off that poor girl’s waist length hair,
Then eliminated her the next episode,
I almost cried for her.
I was watching old ANTM episodes the other day and she actually told a contestant that she looked pregnant.
Very unhealthy program.
