Just when you thought 'reality' TV couldn't get any worse, along comes this:
In a twist on the bridal-themed series, E! introduces a new competition series following brides and their pursuit of a dream wedding and a dream body through plastic surgery. In the 10-episode Bridalplasty, twelve brides battle each week to win one piece of their perfect new body "wish list." At the end, the final bride will win a complete extreme plastic surgery makeover plus a fantasy wedding where she will reveal, for the first time, her new look to her groom. Celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow joins show host Shanna Moakler during the one-hour series. Bridalplasty premieres November 28 at 9p and is produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, an Endemol company.
Seriously?!
I think this is appalling!!
First, let's just stomp all over that movement where we've been trying to get young girls to accept themselves, and their bodies, as they are. Also, let's just forget the countless attempts to get all young women, Hell, women of all ages, to realize that the images on television and in magazines are all, every last one of them, doctored and should not be considered the norm.
This is terrible for women, but I don't want to leave out the male perspective here.
What about the groom when the bride reveals her new look? What if he decides he doesn't want his new 'plastic' model?
This whole show is just rife with issues. It's just wrong on so many levels.
