I rely on them a lot now. I don't think I've watched a Grey's Anatomy on tv all season, it's always up against CSI and The Office.

I think the only reason it was moved to Tuesday this week was because of Obama's live speech Monday night. EST and CST zones had The Bachelor after the speech followed by the news, while other zones had a rerun of last week's True Beauty before the news. The schedule shows it back on Monday next week...

Ugh, I may be really old-fashioned this way, but I don't like seeing older people trying to keep up with the younger crowd (20-40) in their fashion choices.

I have never been a fan of Cheryl Tiegs, but I can objectively see her beauty. However, this dress really emphasized her "flaws" and did little to accentuate her best features. And you can't blame it on her really, it's the stylists of the show whom were responsible for dressing her.

Ok my favorite 3 are gone.. CJ... Chelsea..and Ray.
Before I watched the new episode, I was pissed hearing that Ray was sent home, but now after watching the show.. hate to say it.. but he did deserve it.
I really like Laura.
I am glad she stayed. So.... that being said I am sure she will be the next to go.

I really dislike Julia... the fake Miss America wink then blink bugs the hell out of me and Joel .. honestly he isnt that cute. He has that "wanna be" factor to him.
And Billy.. ok that is not even a "murse" that is the free cosmetic bag you get at Niemus Marcus when you buy 300 dollars worth of makeup

And Cheryl Teigs.. wow.. she is a drone, only repeats what the other two hopeless judges say.
And yeah.. I woulda tucked the third boob in. Cant blame the stylist.. all you have to do is look in a mirror.
If I depended on my "stylist" aka HUBBY every time I went some where my butt would always look big in my jeans!

i really miss CJ....i think he was just too mouthy and independent for the producers. Billy is so annoying. I've stopped watching now that Amazing Race is returning. This show is just strange and so forced. Cheryl Tiegs looks so uncomfortable. I would like she must regret signing on for this. Hope she didn't need the $$ that badly

I thought I had missed last episode for good, but it was on when my PVR was supposed to be taping "What would you do?". I actually think this was a challenge Chelsea would have done great in - talking to the underdog.

I'm with all of you that the challenges ARE ridiculous, and honestly nobody's an angel all the time. I'm still watching because I'm still being entertained watching how they react in challenges and them being presented with their "bad inner-beauty" videos.

Last week I was so sure Ray and Laura would be the front-runners. But then Ray was booted, and Laura was shown in an unflattering light.

It seems that when a contestant does really well one week, they (the editors) go out of their way to make sure they look really bad the next week.

Now guessing (hoping!) Laura or Julia will win. It would kill me if Billy wins, and maim me if Joel wins.

LOL Surfgirl!!!

Jodie, ITA! out of these 4 I want one of the gals to win.

the editors on this show need to take lessons from the BB editors. They make us like a person and then poof they are gone, the ones we dont like or could care less about are still there

This is the first time I'm watching it at all. Sorry if this has been talked about. Cheryl Tiegs -- bad "work"? Her mouth looks funny?

They didn't do the challenge that they usually do when the two are getting out of the car to go to the Hall of Beauty.

I completely forgot about this. Who went? What were the two "challenges" for the inner beauty?

I watched this last night since nothing else was on really. And I have to say it was her time (Laura?) to go. Actually she could've gone or Joel, and I wouldn't have minded. At this point, I think it's Billy's to win. Have either he or Julia been to the Hall of Beauty before?

Billy has been to the hall once for sure but I'm thinking two times.

Dress in the skirt was a dumb task. I can see the girls saying something but I don't know any guy that would go up to a girl and say something. Unless they know her. It would cause more embarasment to the girl.

I'm hoping you are talking about maybe last week's show? Cuz I have no clue what "dress in the skirt" means.

Maybe she means skirt in the underwear.

I caught this last night and was pretty amazed at how arbitrary the judgments were. I know I watched the end, but I can't remember how it ended, probably because the show defies logic.

I caugt one where there was a be nice to a gardener who sprays you with water when you are going to be judged and thought, Why should you be nice? Pick up trash as someone litters and you are wearing high heels and a long dress seemed foolish. I have picked up other people's litter and sometimes, other dog's crap from the park, but not when I was in a hurry and dressed to the nines.

How sad that these people signed up to contest for money only to have every single one, except the winner be showed as seriously flawed.

Hah! That's it! This show defies logic.

I think the tasks or judgments are ridiculous. Sometimes the questions they are asked which are what they are to be judged on, morally, are so stupid. A lot of people would answer them in a joking way. I know I would. If someone was to ask about selling the others under the bus, I would probably make a joke out of it. Then I would be judged harshly for not having inner beauty. It's so ridiculous.

I don't even know what to say about the last 3. They are probably my least favorite out of the entire group. Not that I thought Laura (who went last night) was great, either.

It's just a stupid show and I must be stupid for watching it! LOL

I like the show. I think it's got a clever twist and I like Julia. I don't understand that just because she's in pagents, she's always thought of as fake or not genuine. She's been the nicest so far and doesn't have anything bad to say about anyone, but still she's not a favorite?? O well. It's a good show and a nice change:-)

Julia's my favourite too. I liked her with the seniors, and again with her mum last night. To me she's the nicest. I think Vanessa has a thing for Joel and is going to be stubborn about letting him go.

I don't know why they even bothered to get Ashton Kutcher's mother involved and give her opinion when they completely ignored it. Cheryl is really getting on my nerves more with each show This is not helpful to her image, IMO.

They seem quite determined that Billy will stay until the end.

I think this show is for all the "mean girls" out there. They gotta have some truly shallow person to look up to.

One of the things that drove me crazy about this show was the host...was it Vanessa? Not Cheryl, who is completely superfluous here, and not the guy (is his name Mole?) but the one that announces the challenges..Vanessa? My gosh! She is just horrible. But tonight, I am watching a House rerun on USA (?) and she is hosting a competition of some kind for people (person?) to create a jingle for freecreditreport.com (the commercials with the guitar player in the seafood restaurant and then the renaisance fair). She is whole different kind of woman! She has personality, speaks standard english, and honestly, you wouldn't know she is the same person! (Another thing that drives me crazy on True Beauty is that she doesn't speak correct English...for example, "you will meet Cheryl and Mole and I..." NO NO NO. The correct form is "you will meet Cheryl and Mole and me..." On this jingle contest, she got it right! So, her "performance" on True Beauty is totally driven by the writers/producers. I'm glad I don't watch any more.

The only thing that would save this show is if nobody would win.
