The first hour was revisiting the contestants from last season. Most answered that therapy was the most important part of the makeover.
The second hour was the 2 contestants of this season. A fat black woman who fought against her diet, but came out looking sassy (with boobs that were too big). The other woman is the first contestant who really needed plastic surgery. She was scarred from a fire as a child. Her mom ran out of the house leaving her inside. So lots of issues to be worked out. Even tho not all the scars were eliminated on her face, she got the confidence to appear in public & was glowing. I hope she wins the grand prize.

Which one got to go on to compete in the pagent? And um... didn't ALL the women last time have "boobs that were too big"? <grin>

I didn't watch the second half at all, and only caught bits and pieces of the first half. I did find it interesting that most all agreed therapy was great. But I also found it interesting that all of a sudden, those in failing relationships? Well, sheesh, their honeys suddenly decided they were too hot to let go. Sheesh!

Anyone else think that the black woman turned out looking like Mariah Carey? That's all I could think of when I saw her! Wow!

Why do they always throw those big long haired wigs on all of the contestants? Even the black woman ended up with long flowing hair!

Huk, I thought the same thing about the black lady looking like Mariah. She really thought she was all that.

Costacat, the lady with the scars gets to compete in the contest.

Personally, I think that coach needs a complete makeover. It's obvious that she had some bad plastic surgery at some point - there's something strange about her eyes and her lips look messed up to me. JMHO

I can't stand the host (Amanda?) her voice just drives me crazy along with that long stringy hair and she says 'The Swaaaaaaan' every other word.

<Why am I even watching this>

I watched the first season as well...always wondering "where would they even start with me!!" So far..I like Swan II even better and what I've seen of the previews, I think that I will continue to watch. Its nice to think that they are spending their money on someone that really would benefit from it not only physically but emotionally as well....

Conejo..I agree regarding the host....where in the world did they find her??

Saturday Night Live did a great parody of the Swan.. Had the Host down perfectly. Even the way she says... "The Swaaaaaann". It was great.

Bobbie, I don't know where they found her - but I wish they'd send her back!

Oh, I forgot about that parody on SNL, that was one hilarious episode.

The long hair extensions are to cover the facelift scars.

The host is the same one that hosted that show Paradise Hotel I think it was called. You know the "yahtze game on" show.

I was wondering the same thing about the long wigs. They all look so fake on them.

It is about hiding your "self"!! In my opinion.

None of these women are happy with themselves...and strangely enough, almost all of the women chosen for the SWAN are married with husbands and children that love them, unconditionally.

Yeah Yeah, a few of the husbands last season were kinda jerks BUT they were attracted to....then married the woman AS IS!

The lady with the Fire scars had beautiful bone structure. I am really good with makeup and I tell you that she would have looked almost as gorgeous WITHOUT having ANY surgery.

I would LOVE to see a show with the same support team of counsellors and makeup artists LIKE the Swan. Anyone with mental depression issues and selfesteem barriers would benefit from a calm, spa-like setting and a makeover.

I was hoping that THIS season would see more normal proportions on the women.......from the look of those HUGE implants I would suggest we are in for another season of Barbie wannebees.

Just my theories and ideas.

Maybe it just takes a few more months for all the "swelling" to go down.

Well I see they had the long flowing hair theme going on again last night. OMG they turned the lady with the hearing disability into a drag monster, IMO.

Conejo, isn' that how they all wind up looking. It's like they forgot a hair stylist. They seem to just attach extensions to everyone and call it a day.

Geez they really need to look at Extreme Makeover. At least when they're done the people still have their basic look to them just some improvment. And the boobies aren't all huge.

Everytime I watch the Swan everyone looks like a drag queen. Long dramatic over done hair, and heavy makeup with a way too sparkly dress.

Is it that Extreme Makeover has taken all the good makeup and hair people or something? Cause everyone looks the same.

Now unless they told them to make them look pagenty....but sheesh. I'm waiting for someone to come in with short hair. But I doubht it's going to happen.

I agree...way overdone hair...the rest looks ok to me except the botox cheeks...that poor girl looked like someone stuck cotton swabs in and forgot to take them out. And did you notice her reaction to seeing her kids? I was so surprised considering how dramatic she was about missing them and wanting to go home.
I can't stand how what's her face runs up and hugs the girls like they are best friends. She is the worst host...way way way overly dramatic!

Ms.S, I have to agree with you that they all end up looking like drag queens! lol But I thought that they really made the blonde lady look like a really bad drag queen (those horse teeth they fitted her with were horrendous.) Then again the dentist herself has a really fake looking smile IMO.

BTW, what is the 'deep cleaning' Amaaaaanda refers to them doing to their teeth?

I still think that the 'life? coach' needs a serious makeover! Her lips are really uneven and her eyes are really weird.

Did anyone besides me think they'd turned the brunette into a clone of Amaaaanda last night? I thought the hostess of the show was jealous because the makeover candidate actually came out prettier than Amaaanda! LOL

Sia, I also thought that the brunette looked like one of the 'Swans' from last season - can't remember her name.

Amaaaaanda also drives me crazy when she runs up and hugs the 'Swans' at their unveiling - like she really gives a crap!

I still think that the hearing impaired lady would have looked a lot better if she would have just had a nice makeover, some exercise and some cosmetic dentistry.

The brunette had weird sort of "indentions" on both sides of her face, below her checkbones and closer back to the ear.

But let me way this....WOW, Merline (former Swan contestant) looked absolutely beautiful last night. Her hair was far more nicer than when she was all "dolled up" for the pageant as was her makeup.

Well, I can't help but watch this train wreck!

Aaamaaaanda and all of her hugging and lovie-dovie with these "Swaaaaans" drives me crazy!

I always thought that there was some kind of rule that you dont do Plastic Surgery on people with serious depressive disorders and self image problems.

Both the girls this last show would have been fine with a good makeup job and a haircut/ colour to suit their face.

The minute that girl asked for DOUBLE Ds she should have been rejected from the show. #1- those boobs are HUGE and to me it implies that she doesnt feel like she is 'woman' enough. At the end of the show She looked completely lost and depressed. I really hope that these rejected ladies are given aftercare.

Aw, c'mon, Hippyt! Aren't you the least bit curious what they are going to do with the sisters who are already over endowed? Will they emerge as triple G's?
