When is this show on? I keep forgetting to watch it. I am a HUGE Howard Stern fan and I know his wife Beth is a host. How is she doing? From Howard's show I know she is beautiful, kind and smart. A former model, but she does have a degree in English Lit.

So far I'm not impressed with her. But then again, she hasn't done much but agree with her co-hosts. I think it's on on Monday nights.

Happy, she was actually really good on Jimmel Kimmel's show. I think she unitentially gave away that Liz and spikey hair guy dont win.
She had a funny story about meeting Snookie and how Snookie was looking her bf Nick up and down. LOL

I think Michelle will win. Who won last year, I know there was a hot guy I wanted to win and I liked the girl with the pretty eyes but they didnt win

Pamy - The brunette named Julia won last year. As for this year's winner, Wikipedia messed up and gave the name of the winner out prior to the airing of the show. They have since taken down that information from their website.

If anyone wants to know I can do a spoiler box.

Bombay, LOL that name doesnt even ring a bell! I guess this is one of those shows where I will forget the winners! There is actually a whole season of Survivor that I dont reconize hardly anyone in the group photo!

All the contestants are extremely vain, imo. I would love to know what it would be like to be attractive and for people to just fall all over me for my good looks. Maybe I'd be vain, too, if I were thin and beautiful. Guess I'll never know.

Costacat - My feelings exactly.

Sia - The same for me. I'm plain, short and fat. But I've been blessed with a great since of humor, kindness, empathy a few working brain cells. Guess these things have served me well thru life, but it would be interesting to be one of the "beautiful people" for a day. LOL

Stormie, that's why they usually have a final "test."

It's all convoluted, the whole thing from beginning to end. There's no less a depiction of inner beauty than a show based on lies and deceit. People are imperfect, they make mistakes, this show just sets people up to fail, if they didn't, they wouldn't have a show. I won't be surprised is one of these people sues. I don't want to wreck this for people who do like it, but I just can't believe it's back. I just hate these shows that seek to deliberately hurt people.

I don't know about setting them up to fail, but last week's show was a no-brainer if you have morals. You don't steal, pure and simple. How is that setting anyone up to fail. What is fake is not letting people go over that.

I missed tonight's show. What was the 'shocking twist?'

The shocking twist wasn't even a twist at all, one of the contestants broke a rule and had to leave because of that.

Today was particularly lame, as there didn't seem any reason why they couldn't see the questions before they got to the street. If anything you'd expect to have a chance to read through the questions to prepare yourself for the "tv" spot. It just seemed a bit silly. I thought the focus group bit was realistic though.

You don't steal, pure and simple.

You also don't lie and deceive. People are fallible, no one is perfect, people do stupid, even wrong things all the time. This show does not, nor cannot depict anyone's true character via their planned situations and editing. Again, I won't be surprised if someone sues them.

I love that there is a just blank stare from the contestants when the host 'reveals' herself!!! LOL

Regina, who was in the bottom last week and wasn't this week, was caught breaking the rules using her phone to make calls and text. Because she could gain unfair advantage that way (maybe finding out what the show is all about), they let her go. Personally, I would've much preferred to have seen Liz go, and I think if she ever hits the bottom 2 again, she's gone.

And yes, I love that no one gets why Vanessa shows up. I'd bet none of them ever saw or heard of the first season of True Beauty.

As far as the set ups, the contestants are given a choice: steal or don't steal; cheat or don't cheat. If they continually opt to choose the lesser road, then they aren't as "beautiful" as they seem to think they are. I don't see that there's any reason to sue. It's not like they were told YOU MUST CHEAT. They were given a choice. They failed.

I'm pretty sure their contract covers all the hidden camera stuff. I can't see a lawsuit being accepted as valid. No one is hurting these contestants but themselves. Either you play by the rules or you don't. No one id forcing these people. If a sales person urged me to steal I wouldn't, if I was asked not to reveal a magic trick I wouldn't, if I was told not to read the questions I wouldn't. I'd figure those were the rules of the game and most people don't cheat. This is a competition and rules usually apply. There is nothing odd about that.

Oh yeah, the show CAN and DOES depict their true characters. As both Lil and I have said, no one forced them to do the things they were being tested for. They did them. On their own. And some did those things quite gleefully (Liz and the bikini that helped her win the first challenge, for example). On top of all that, none of them show regrets for stealing, cheating, or leaking trade secrets. (Not even when some of them are confronted by those acts at the end when Vanessa reveals the inner beauty bit.) We all occasionally fall down. But when we do, I'd bet most of us will regret doing so.

For me the most revealing aspect is that most of them just don't understand what they are being shown as the bad behaviors. They have always acted like that and see nothing wrong with the stealing, cheating or ignoring strangers in trouble.

Something is rotten in Denmark, er, Real Beauty. Surely they go through all the contestants' luggage before they move in--they do it on Survivor, BB, etc. Regina didn't even act surprised--after all, these people are all wannabe actors, not yet polished.
