I have recently encountered what is one of the saddest shows I’ve seen on television. It’s called Bridalplasty, and women compete for their “perfect celebrity style wedding” and plastic surgery. I am appalled that such a show exists. I couldn’t believe when I first heard of it. I thought it was joke. These women are already getting married and they want to change who they are. What’s funny is that the winning bride will get to walk down the aisle to see her husband for the first time after the whole deal. I would like to see his reaction! These women obviously have self-esteem issues. Some of them already look Barbie doll perfect and they’re still on the show for some reason. What’s sad is that the women who need their plastic surgery are the ones being eliminated by the selfish ones. An example was contestant Jessica who had parts of her breasts removed with cysts she had. I get her point and would have liked for her to compete, but she was eliminated by the rest because she was tough competition. It was sad seeing instead a woman get a nose job or a breast implant. Another contestant, Jaimie, was only in it for the wedding. She had married her husband in court so that her mother could be there (she was dying of cancer). She had dreamed of a beautiful wedding, and she wasn’t really interested in the plastic surgery. Of course, the contestants eliminated her as she was tough competition. They decided to keep someone who just wanted the plastic surgery. This show shows such an ugly side of women. Most of them are selfish and disgust me. It’s sad that the ones who I actually think have a reason to be there get eliminated by the selfish ones. Another thing I hate is the fact that the host says the following every time someone gets eliminated: “I’m sorry. Your wedding will still go on, but it won’t be perfect.” Who gives her the right to say that? Seriously, this show is disgusting and sad.
Shows like this one are giving women an awful message. Perfection is not looking like a Barbie clone. It’s feeling beautiful and confident on the inside.
Wao! So bad…The beauty is more than just the physical, it lies inside us!
