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

My daughter and I had the same reaction.

I agree with the rest of your post, too. What was she hoping to teach her daughter, anyway?--that you have to have big boobs and look like Barbie to have self-esteem?

Well, maybe makeup, haircut/colour, AND teeth. They both got extensive dental work that was a vast improvement.

The dental work alone is worth a small fortune.

I thought the same when she said "double D".. he should have said.. uh.. no.. I won't do that..

This is the first Swan I've seen this season and probably would be best if it was the last because it makes me feel slimey.

Pitting the two sisters against each other is just evil.

Does anybody else think that the blonde who won this week has the same face as the brunette who lost last week? I think they have about five different faces that they just keep rotating to different hair colors.

Nimtu, I agree with you! I've even thought that some of the "Swans" from this season look like the "Swans" from last season. I also think that they only have about five different wigs to go with the faces! Maybe we should just say five different drag queen makeover looks!

And someone PLEASE do something with that 'Swan Coach' her face is really screwed up - her nose is a mess along with her lips and the corners of her eyes look like they've been stretched to the hilt!

ALSO.....my two cents. When you are younger and you lose weight your skin will usually tighten up. Especially if you use collagenbuilding lotions and lose your weight SAFELY at a reasonable rate. Too fast is very bad.

Anyways, my point is that this show seems to do a lot of liposuction and tummy tucks on women who should try other stuff first, in my opinion.

The quickfix of surgery and Brainwashing?? that they are now "beautiful" is NOT healthy to these women in my opinion.

SIGH. I get so tired of seeing the plump ducklips that these ladies end up with. Doesnt happen on that OTHER makeover show!

Oh wait, maybe that's why they called it THE SWAN (swan lips LOL) Just kidding

I like how someone said it's like watching a train wreck.. how true. I love watching the show, but I still can't get over the hair..lol I tell you, if I went on there I would insist I keep my short short hair. Long hair does not suit me. I really want to see someone with short hair.

The girls may be wearing hair extensions to cover facelift scars, or maybe they've just pinned a bunch of skin up behind their necks with those giant black paper clip things...

I have to agree with those who think many of the swans look like men in drag.

Guess I'd rather just stay the ugly duckling that I am. (quack)

I watched this train wreck yet again!

Why didn't they have these 2 women talk to the other 'Swans' that WANTED breast implants? They really made it sound like their x-large breasts had ruined their lives - and the doctors seemed to agree with them - yet next week these same docs will probably turn around and do more huge implants. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Did I mention that I think the 'Swan Coach' needs some serious facial reconstruction herself? she scares me to look at her!

That one girls long, flowing, shoulder/neck hugging hair was WAY over the top, imo. I wanted to reach through the TV and yank that rug off her head! Geesh, where do they find these ridiculous wigs?

Agree with ya Conejo. I didn't question for a minute, either, that the blonde would win. I guess that hideous blonde extensions are a requirement of making it into the pagent.

The blonde not only looked better than her sister, but had a much better personality. The redhead had to be coaxed away from the mirror. My husband was amazed that the sisters still recognized each other right away.

This show is bizarre but I find myself watching it every week (very sad I know)! I also think they look like men in drag and very "plasticy", but I think it's because the surgery hasn't had time to settle in. I find they look way bettter by the time the pageant comes around and when they showed us last season's swans - more natural over time. I agree that they shouldn't be doing lipo and surgery to lose the fat, they should diet and exercise first. This show makes me want to get in shape naturally.

The editing on this show drives me crazy! They don't seem to follow any timeline with the makeovers. One minute the 'Swans' are all bandaged up and the next thing you see is that head/chin wrap thing on. It looks like they start out at the dentist - yet a few scenes later they still have their 'old' mouth and then at the reveal they have these huge horse teeth. They really could make this a 30 minute show. IMO

what I detest is the way the host repeats her key phrases OVER AND OVER again. Its like each time there is a commercial break we hear a complete UPDATE of what we just seen 2 mins ago LOL

GAK!!

YES, I raised my eyebrows at the two depressed sisters who blame their failed lives and careers on.......THEIR BLOSSOMING female bodies. Neither girl was terribly heavy in school. MANY girls have larger chests. I did! My friend Pam was 36B already in GRADE SIX.

To hear that one girl sobbing about how her chest got big when she was 16!! made me feel bad about her lack of selfesteem and support system. Both girls had GOOD figures and a little bit of toneing up and a GOOD wellmade supportive Bra and they BOTH would have been so happy. Of course, both needed serious counselling as well.

I dont know. This show really disturbs me. I still dont think that these women should be PUMPED up to think that beauty is going to solve their issues.

What a surprise...blondes again! They're sending me a message that because I am not blonde that I can never be a swan. Who'd a thunk?

I thought that both the women seemed to talk with a 'lisp' after their Swanovers. Also thought that both the 'nose jobs' turned out horribly. What was with the one woman receiving therapy over her dead husband? Shouldn't she have seeked out therapy before she married again?

They portray these women as having such a horrible, debilitating life yet, to me, it doesn't seem any worse than what any other person goes through. Had a baby-got stretch marks-can't wear a bathing suit-nose too big-look ten years older-yadda, yadda, yadda.

Why do all these women who say that they are too fat to wear a bathing suit have their belly button pierced? Makes no sense to me.

I agree on the nose jobs - the 42 year olds nose looked weird close up. And personally I think the younger girl - with exercise, plucked eyebrows would have lovely, she looked more like a drag queen to me afterwards - kinda like the guys on "He's a Lady" show.

The shrink did not really answer the question about how much progress the woman with the cancer had made. Instead, she said that she preferred to think about her family. I guess she realized that there were more important things for her to deal with at this time than a silly beauty contest.
Glad that she was sent to a cancer specialist for the removal.

Terolyn - I thought exactly the same thing during her reveal!

Maybe I'll apply to be a swan after all...just think, I can have chiclet teeth, a new lisp, blonde hair, round boobs with a great big gap in between them, swollen lips, a look of surprise in my eyes all day long, and dump my family for three months. Wow, who WOULDN'T want to be a swan!

I was flipping back n forth between two shows. I caught that the older woman had a skin cancer on her nose. It looked HUGE!! Surely a doctor would have seen that large lesion during ANY office visit!? If I was that lady i'd be having a little chat with my So-called family doctor.

Anyways, a strange comment was made at the very end of the show when the Reveal is done. I must ask, Didnt the older lady have issues because her first husband died of a brain tumor?? Did anyone else catch the host asking the Lady what her husband would think of her New Look.....and the lady replied "OH, he is going to DIE!!"

My mouth dropped open!

((also, the socalled Older woman sure had a goodlooking new husband...I find it absolutely bizarre that these women consider themselves unattractive yet reality is that they ARE ATTRACTIVE to men. ))

I felt sorry for you the younger woman. I thought she looked better before.

I thought the original premise of the show was to make the women look like better versions of themselves. They seem to be turning them into the stereotypical Hollywood bimbo look. I mean, even their extensions have extensions! Aren't all the make overs being done at the same time? Otherwise, the last ones would not have as much time to heal and get used to the new look as the first ones.
