Am I the only one watching the second season of this show?

Should this show have had a second season?

Did the ones who didn't take the clothes see the game before?

Did the right contestant get kicked out? I would have kicked out the spikey haired guy.

No, you're not the only one watching. I watched last season since there wasn't much else to watch. I'll probably stay with it again this season. I don't think the participants are aware of last season's show. Remember they were told they were trying out for "The Face of Las Vegas". I believe last year they were told it was something like "The Most Beautiful.....". Like you I was hoping spikey haired guy would get kicked to the curb, but I think JD stealing the clothing was considered a worse offense than failing to help the woman with the dog. I think the gal that won will regret taking the $275 outfit. If she is in the final 2 I think that will seal her fate. JMHO

Let me know what you think Who. The show is so stupid that I half way enjoy it.

The judges are a bit over the top in their emotions.

Bombay, I have mixed emotions.

JD stopped immediately to help the lady with the dog. Spike hair couldn't get away from her fast enough.

I don't know much about retail but is a patron stealing if an employee gives them something and tells them to take it. Isn't the employee the one stealing.

Good point about the employee. However, conspiracy or receipt of stolen property comes to mind. One could be arrested for those offenses but failure to aid a dog would not be a crime. Morally they are both wrong.

I cracked up because it was obvious the guy who got kicked out had no clue who Vanessa Minillo (sp?) is. And once again, I really can't stand her. The fake empathy she shows is irritating.

While morally they were both wrong, JD failed the actual test (the stealing an item from the store). The dog thing was a red herring, basically used if the bottom two were neck 'n neck as to who was to go. Stealing is a worse offense than walking over someone who asks for help.

I'll probably watch because this show is a train wreck and there isn't much else on right now.

There were a couple of people who I'd like to see win. The blonde who wore Lady Luck? She seems a bit more genuine. The Brad Pitt look alike fell off his pedestal when he took the item the sales clerk gave him. And Liz, the winner of the challenge? Ugh. No words.

What I find interesting is how many of these people really aren't all that "beautiful" on the outside.

I was able to forgive JD his "trespass" of stealing when he helped the dog.

Where those contestants technically 'caught stealing' on tape? Could they be prosecuted even though the show staged it?

You like the girl with the lady luck? Ugh, not me ... total pageant witch was the vibe I got. I don't actually care for any of them, lol ...

As for the judges, I love Carson, but I don't think he'll get to be snarky enough in this show. The two females? meh ...

Dogdoc - I think somebody has to press charges first. I'm guessing the state could press charges if they wanted but surely there is some type of loophole that the show cleared first.

I'm pretty sure the entire thing was staged and there's nothing to prosecute. If anything, any of the "stolen" items were paid for by the producers. This was just a morality test, and some passed and some failed.

I thought it was strange that they used the same lady (to entice them to steal) for every contestant. Surely they will talk and realize something more than a physical beauty contest is going on.

Can't stand the woman who won. I wish the guy hadn't given in to her little fit about the bed. Asian girl was whining when she asked if the money was also to cover the shoes, irritating. I don't think anyone is all that stunningly beautiful in or out. Carson is really the only ok thing about this show for me.

Not sure that I'll continue to watch.

This show is so bad that it's almost good. Well, it's good for a laugh because it so soooo over the top phoney.

I watched it this morning (first time...didn't watch last year). It is so campy that it is funny. I too wished spiky haired guy would have gone just because his over-whitened teeth are going to blind me before the show is over. I wonder if he receives his deep astrological predictions in his mouth?

Beauty pageant girl is nasty. Sorry for those who think she's genuine...I didn't get that from her at all. I think the only "real" person so far is the dancer Michelle. But I'm sure they will all regress as time goes by.

Gosh those are some good looking men!

Hate Liz, Asian girl (sorry I don't know her name yet), spiky haired guy, and like the tall guy with the almost shaved head. SO far noone else stands out.

Figure the store was a set=up, and the woman wasn't an employee of the store, she was supposed to be a stylist.

I didnt realize this was on again. I stumbled on it last night and taped it. I enjoyed last year's even when I was frustrated with it.

They told us the 'sylist' was an actress wking for the show. As for the contestants they were told she was a sylist working for the show so she wasnt employed by the store so whoever walked out with the stolen item would be the one prosecuted. If this were real.

I think they must have turned up the contrast on some of the early shots of spiky haired guy - his tan was so dark and his teeth were so white they had a glow round them on my screen!

Shame the contest favoured the woman who stole.

I loved it at the end where there was meant to be the big reveal when Vanessa appeared! Not only did the contestant not realise the significance of her entering, he didn't even recognise her. Funny!

This is such an awful show. I will have to continue to watch ;).

I really like the show and Vanessa.
I did want spikey hair to go as well. My family and I will be watching this season. Good stuff:-)

The spikey hair guy isn't even good looking on the outside. Whoever told him he was handsome lied. I cannot stand the woman who won the contest. I have a feeling she will last a long time because she will do whatever it takes to win each week and she is good television. I only watched because nothing else was on, but I will watch to see her leave. Producers love that.

Okay...not ashamed to admit it... I really enjoy this show...

Last season my finance watched the first show just to make me happy...then watched the entire season. This season, HE was the one who let me know it was starting and made sure to tape it, then watch it with me.

Its a train wreck and we are truly enjoying it.

We now have two guilty TV viewing pleasures... Judge Judy and True Beauty!!

Yeah, someone should tell spiky haired guy that just cause your momma tells you you're good looking doesn't mean you are!

I watched last season and god help me I'll watch this season too.

It was all sorts of wring setting the contestants up with then sales clerk almost forcing the stolen merchandise on them. Really, can we all say set up. But still they all should have said NO.

For me, since I thought the stealing was a set up, I thought being rude to the woman was a way worse offence than the sting at the store.

I didn't think the stealing thing was done fairly. In some cases, people genuinely expressed an interest in something outside of their budget. It was really clear to them that they shouldn't take it. For others, the clerk had to offer them something, which was probably a bit disorienting.

Still, they should have all said no.

The thing that got me with the woman with the dog:
1. say to person on the phone "hold on a sec, I need to put you down for a minute"
2. rest phone on ground
3. with your now two free hands unravel the dog lead YOURSELF
4. pick up phone and continue the conversation.

Sure I'd have helped her to be polite, but I'd be thinking, "really lady, is your phone call more important than your dog?"

Okay, the other thing...the guy who got eliminated...STILL DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG! OR THAT THE COMPETITION WASN'T WHAT HE EXPECTED! (sorry for yelling but that just cracked me up!)
