I actually found the older woman, not Cinnamon but the other one, looked the most "normal" out of all the "Swans" I've seen.
Other than the huge teeth and boobs, but at least she was still reconizable.

Cinnamon looked completely different to me..

I imagine I would not make it to the pagent since I have really short brunette hair with bright red highlights. I would not want it bland and long fake looking.

Boy, am I glad someone else thought those teeth look HUGE...I won't spend .01 cent on them they are UGLY!!! And those extentions they are terrible...

My d/h said "They all look a like...who want carbon copies of someone one else..." I said "That's why you have me :-) "

My niece is a year away from her DDS, and she said that those DaVinci veneers only last a couple of years and then have to be replaced. Can you imagine being a swan and maybe be out at a restaurant or something and suddenly having this big gap in your face?

veneers are more delicate and MAY LAST only a couple of years.

When I had my teeth crowned I was told that they usually only last about ten years on the front teeth...It is now 23 yrs later and all that is changed is a slight gum receeding. What affects the life of your crowns/veneers is how you take care of them. For instance, NO BITING APPLES etc.

I watched Extreme makeover a week or so ago when they did a BULLRIDER who had really mashed up his nose. The Final REVEAL party showed him immediately getting back onto a mechanical bull in bar....I'd say HIS veneers wont last more than a few months LOL.

Well, I got sucked into watching this show again!

Actually, I thought the 'Swans' in this episode turned out better than any of the previous 'Swans'. I didn't think that they were too overdone and drag queenified.

Amaaaaaaaaannnnnda still drives me crazy the way she hugs the 'Swans'. What's up with all the clapping? The toothless woman looked like her boobs were gonna flop out of that dress. However, I was glad to see that the dentist didn't give her horse teeth. She did seem to have trouble talking though.

I still think that most of these women would be better off loosing weight and getting some therapy rather than all that cosmetic surgery - with the exception of dental work.

I thinks this pair was the best overall result of either season, not that there has been much competition up to this point. If they could just have backed off a little on Lorraine's bOOb job (OK, a lot), it would have been a complete success.

Overall, I agree with most posters here that they should start with the fitness and nutrition program and a makeover first. Then use minimal plastic surgery for areas that can't be improved that way (i.e. extra skin from large weight loss).

I will say that almost all the swans from season one looked better at the reunion show then they did during their reveals, so I think it must take some time for everything to heal completely and for the women to discover their new style given their new faces and bodies.

For some reason, I have always liked Amanda, even on Paradise Hotel. She the cheesy hostess, but she does it well.

I thought this was a good episode. The one who got divorce papers looked fabulous. Thank god for real breasts! She didn't look like a big plastic doll because they were real. And her teeth were real too. She is the best looking so far.

Conejo, I think the other lady talked odd because of a hearing problem. She was fitted with a hearing aid as a part of the show. I also noticed her speech seemed odd before the new teeth. She also walked a little crooked and my sister said that might be a sign of some ear problems as well because my sister does the same thing.

Fabnsab, I remember them mentioning that the one lady was going to receive a hearing aid at the beginning of the show and then I never heard anything else about it. I just wondered if maybe having semi-real teeth after going without any for a long time contributed to her speech problem.

Another example of Two women who have mental issues which is/has affected their marriages and they think plastic surgery will fix their lives.

Yeah, I'm being harsh but once again, we have two women who men thought were VERY attractive and both were happily married for years. The lady who had all her teeth out at 25 yrs old had a gorgeous husband.

This show truly has an imbalance of supposedly homely women who are NOT with guys who are equally mediocre. Instead, most of the SWANS have been chosen for the show based on earlier pictures which show them as very attractive children and teenagers. I do agree that age and the "ravages of childbirth" (the plastic surgeon's words) causes a woman's self esteem to drop but GOOD counselling and a makeover could fix that.

SIGH, maybe it bothers me because I am single and these 'self called' ugly women had or have men who loved them unconditionally. Hmmmmmmm maybe I NEED to go on the swan LOL Trouble is I am already DDD, would I go bigger or smaller??? ROTFL

WOW I checked the website for the FIRST time. Not only did the last lady have all her teeth out her husband was 17 yrs younger than her. She was 38 if I recall correctly. No wonder she was feeling completely insecure and figured he'd leave her unless she fixed herself up.


and i think Patti (nose cancer lady, not sure of name) was 42 and her husband was early 30s as well. This is NOT A REASON to have surgery in my opinion. To keep a younger man.

The legitimacy of this show has dropped even further in my view. It should strictly be about the woman herself.

I'd love to know what you guys think. Am I full of beans??

I would love to have tens of thousands of dollars in plastic surgery done on my face and body for free. I would endure the pain of recovery and would really appreciate the help. I don't think I could do this on national television, however.

I would most appreciate surgery on a huge abdominal hernia that I've had for several years and which the surgeon I was sent to said was inoperable. Man, I'd love to fix my hernia.

And I think I'm ugly and unattractive/unappealing and wish I could like I did in my early 20s.

I thought the latino woman looked just like a woman they had on last seasons show. At first I thought I was watching a rerun.

The 'invisible' woman turned out looking good, IMO. Looks like they've toned down their drag queen 'makeovers' a bit. Maybe they've been reading the message boards (if so, someone please give Nely the 'swan coach' a complete face overhaul).

Well I watched this last episode well at least the reveal part. And Syliva at least still looked like herself. They really didn't do that much.

The redhead...wow she looked like a drag queen. Someone has to tell me when are they going to stop doing that?! They still overdo the makeup and clothings. It seems as if they don't really apply the makeup to suit the individual.

Maybe that's why they don't get to see a mirror, I'd be horrified if they did my make up that heavy and stage like.

I saw the people who are going to be in the pagent. So its' blondes and one red head. Who's going to be able to tell them all apart?

This show needs to end soon or at least they need to a better team of doctors and makeup artists.

Why does every woman have extensions? Can no one carry off a short style hair cut?

Also how is it that Extreme Make Over takes 6 weeks and most people look very nice. Not drag queens or anything but Swan takes 3 months and they all wind up looking the same.

I thought that the "swans" last night looked the best of all the ones so far this year. Although Sylvia's face didn't look all that different, her body was much better, as was her attitude! I loved her reaction to the reveal.

The invisible girl looked totally different, nice, I thought.


<And I think I'm ugly and unattractive/unappealing and wish I could like I did in my early 20s.>

Sia, I've seen your picture on your profile...you are certainly NOT unattractive! Please don't be hard on yourself. The only alternative to growing older, is pushing up daisies! Personally, I'd like a wee bit of work on myself, too, but I think it would be hard to pull off being younger when I want to go to bed at 11:00, take naps after work, and am all bent over when I wake up in the mornings!

Sia, I understand your pain. I assume you are talking about your body not your face. I have gained weight due to illness and medications......but the thing I would LOVE to have fixed is my bellybutton.

It was ruined by a laparoscopy in 1993 and my lovely teardrop belly button was changed into a frowning crescent. it is disfigured.

I looked into having some major face work done at one time but it was going to be so complicated that the doctor decided that the effects wouldnt be dramatic enough to make the pain worth it. Of course this was years ago. Now adays I can imagine cheek implants being used to balance the jaw work I need to be done.

SIGH, and I was raised that people will see your insides and like you for your personality not your looks.......unfortunately, this is in direct contrast to real life. Our society thrives on good looks and beauty. If you are funny looking you are ostracized.

When that girl talked about wishing she was invisible I laughed. I think she meant people treated her like she was invisible.....that is how I have been treated most of my life so I understood. it is hard to explain. so i wont

I can't believe I watched this cheesy 'Swan Pageant'. Boy, all of these Swanabees sure were struting around like they were all that. That one Geena (hearing impaired) needs to have another nose job, do something with her teeth and lose the Nancy Sinatra hair. IMHO.

What was up with them posing during their 'reveal'during their introduction? Was that their 'Swan' pose?

I watched only the pagent and fell asleep at the end. I see now who won, definately my choice. Who came in second? The hearing impaired girl I did not find attractive or particularly beautiful on the inside either. A mystery to me how she got that far.

Mware....that was EXACTLY what I thought.

I think this show is kind of neat. I know the huge criticism is that surgery wont change you on the inside. So what, I say! Might as well continue working on your problems looking marvelous. Why not?

FIX FIX FIX!!!!!! Yeah, the athletic military lady was going to win it all along. I cannot believe that TWO judges gave her a 10 out of 10 in the bathingsuit comp!!

I truly felt some of the other girls were more evenly porportioned.

Anyone else Cringe when the final five walked down the runway and the producers computer inserted their 'old' bodies walking along side????? It was creepy and kind of upsetting as many women look haggard with no makeup and the grey granny underwear would make anyone look frumpy LOL.

Oh well, I'll probably watch ANOTHER season as I like to complain about this show LOL

Gina should have won, but of course she has a breast reduction instead of implants..

They did the "teapot" poses and the exaggerated walk last season, so I think it has to do with the coaching..

I agree that the hearing impaired woman seemed half done as far as the face job anyway. And, Bat, I agree about the inside.. something about her answers to questions, or something.

I can think of a Swanillion reasons to NOT watch another season but I suppose I will.

Gina B should have won.. they knew it when they brought her in as the judges wild card.. that she should have been there over her sister.. but I suppose she was doomed because she chose a breast reduction instead of huge boobs.


The teapot poses and exaggerated walk were the same as last season. Thank heaven for fast forward, which I did a Swanillion times during my playing of the recording of this..
