They had their mums (or dad, in Billy's case, his mum couldn't be there) visit and choose the outfits for them both to wear during a party hosted(?) by Ashton Kuchton's mother. When there they had to socialise and generally show they knew how to mingle. Joel was sweet with his mum but otherwise his usual self. Billy seemed mostly concerned that his dad picked a blue shirt for him, then gave his "I went from a vitamin salesman to this" speech to every new person he met. Laura didn't like the dress her mum picked (even though she looked gorgeous in it) but didn't have much to say during the party. Julia was happy with her dress, seemed generally sociable at the party, and passed a test when she told a lady she'd come out of the toilet with her dress tucked in her undies. There was another stupid test early on where the person who was helping their mums/dad choose clothes for them asked them to dish the dirt about the others, which no one really did, even though they failed Joel for saying he was more real(? forgotten) than Billy because Billy took so many supplements and failed Laura for saying (when prompted) that although she flirts with Joel she'd throw him under the bus if she had to. Billy won the party challenge, although I didn't really understand why. Joel and Laura were the bottom two. Vanessa liked Joel but the other two completely disagreed. Laura went home. There wasn't a last minute, entering the building challenge. Next week is the finale.

My DVR hates this show. Even when I rearrange programming to make sure this one records, my DVR resets, re-prioritizes other shows, and ends up not recording this one! At least I can catch it online.

<100> I'm guessing that Laura will definitely win, unless she does some unspeakable thing (like slightly bump into Joel and not apologize). What cracks me up the most are the expressions on Vanessa's face when the "dumped" person is being shown their video. How much holier-than-thou can one look?! I'm surprised she hasn't sprained her eyebrow muscles by now.

Laura was eliminated this week, so there's no way she can win.

sorry, I meant Julia. I kept getting their names mixed up. I hope she wins, because Billy's behaviour is a toolbox short of a hammer (but it might be in his murse).

This show seems to lack something. I have been trying to figure it out. I think that it lacks warmth. In the Greatest American Dog the contestants bonded a little. They liked each other. I didn't like the judges on the dog show very much but they were not as stilted as the Beauty judges. I will be glad when Beauty is over. I hope Julia wins.

I think it's just so badly executed. The idea was pretty sound in reality terms - try to make pretty people show their conniving sides - but the tests were silly and most of all the hosts, particularly Vanessa, seem more superficial that the contestants.

Dogdoc, it's the entire thing... the contestants themselves are not likable (the dogs were, and most of the owners were too); the judges are awful (yes they were stiff on GAD but not like this); and the host... we'll don't get me started on the fake pouts and supercilious attitude I see on this show. I quit watching weeks ago, although I caught this week's episde (I was trying to ignore the pain in a toothache) and I'm sorry I did!

Yes, Costa, the dogs were great. These judges are the worst--and Cheryl needs to cover her chickeny arms. LOL, if true beauty comes from within, these judges are zeros.

I didn't watch, but I don't think I can. As I said above, it just makes me crazy when Vanessa fails to speak standard english..."You will meet Cheryl and Mole and I..." The correct form is "Cheryl and Mole and me."

Seeing Cheryl Tieg look old makes me feel less horrible about looking old

Chery Tieg does look old. She was born in 1947. She sells a wrinkle cream.

Vanessa drives me crazy with her facial expressions!! I can't stand it. I bet she would be the person with the least "inner beauty". Aaaaaaaaaaargh!

Wow - IMHO, she hasn't aged as well as others. Take the couple below - he was also born in 1947, and the lady in 1948. They look better than Cheryl! (Ok - the guy could use some hair, but there sure aren't many wrinkles!)
Yup - they're my folks, and they have TRUE BEAUTY that most of the people on this show are lacking!

Yup - I think the plastic surgery hasn't done her any favors:
I've always liked her, but I think she should have left her face alone. Her true beauty is her personality, and I can't help but wonder if she wouldn't look better if she had kept it natural. This one shows those lips - and those are what I seem to be "magically" drawn to every time she's on the show! Weird.

Teach: The big difference is that your beautiful parents look happy. They are smiling and look as if they enjoy life. We have no way to tell if Cheryl is happy because botox has frozen her face.

I was trying to upload a photo of my friend Carol...she is turning 70 next month. She looks younger than Cheryl. She's never had plastic surgery or botox. I don't know how to do that, though.
