for cash mentality. Fox must really need those ratings. This is literally the most morally bankrupt garbage ever (oh, except for "The Simple Life"). Reality TV has officially sunken as low as it can go.The surgeons on this show are a disgrace. They certainly make enough money in Beverly Hills, and hardly need this PR. Another reviewer has delineated several participants- who one can only feel sorry for. Yes, by all means, get surgery. This doesn't mean we want to see it on TV, or hear about their trials and tribulations (yawn).Remember the show where a contestant shot his friend-after being exposed on the Jenny Jones show? well- this show is damaging people's self-esteem; at the behest of "improving their lives". Do not buy into that manipulation. It is about money, pure and simple, making people feel worse about themselves, with no professional regard.The creator of this trash should be held liable for defamation of character.At the end of the show is the real humor, where a collagen victim Nely Galan purports to have some kind of "advice" for the participants. Yeah, we want advice from a TV station manager- about real issues. It is utterly laughable. 0/10

I may as well add my two cents into this discussion of the Swan and laugh if you want cause I don't see nothing wrong with this show. These women are just like everyone else who have gone through major tramas in their lives and for so long been trying to find the right people to help them. This show perhaps is the cure of it all and it certainly made a big difference on some of them. I watched the Swan the firt time last week and immediately fell in love with the show. These women have a lot of courage to go on national television and tell their stories which may be moving for some people that have been through simularities themselves but never had the right people to direct them. This show as fore mentioned can make a difference and each and every week these ladies go through the training & plastic surgery just to look good. The work may be tough but like troopers they really pull through to make it. Can't wait to see the Swan Pageant.

I watched the first episode of this show to see if it made me feel as dirty as the commercials did and now I need a holy water cleansing. Unlike "extreme makeover" which changes people physically in positive ways (teeth correction, sun damage), this show preys on the truly weak individual who's self-esteem is so low that they need counseling more than a new nose. Then, to exploit them even further, the plastic surgeons treat them like conquests, and even degrade them for not meeting expectations. If they are still not pretty enough they get to go home with their painfully obvious plastic surgery. The blonde named Kelly looked so weird that I felt bad for her. Overall, I think this show is one of the most negative damn things I have ever seen and encourage viewers to watch UPN re-runs rather than this pathetic attempt at 'good' reality television.

I have to agree with what the other person who commented. This is just disgusting. It's clear to anyone who watches these women for five minutes that they all are dealing with some serious underlying mental issues that no surgery will fix. These problems cannot be fixed with a new nose or a chin implant.Self esteem cannot be attained in this manner either. True self esteem rises above all of this meaningless nonsense. A new nose will not truly make you confident...that comes from an attitude that has nothing to do with how you look on the outside. If it did, all beautiful people would be confident- but, they're not. Everyone with a big nose and bags under their eyes would have no confidence, but that's not the case either. This is just the lowest of what TV has to offer, and it's no shock that it's being brought to us by Fox, who keeps going lower and lower, scraping the bottom of the garbage can for ideas for ridiculous, shameless programs like this.Not only do the women competing in this show need mental help...but, the creators and execs at fox need it just as bad.
