I find myself still staring at the TV minutes after a commercial for The Swan aired. What has the world come to?

Dude! I'm watching it right now. Ah, American TV at its finest:|

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I am scared. You know I'm shallow, and I'm all for doing whatever you have to do to make you feel good about yourself, but to go through *all that*?!

if it wasn't for qaf...and law & order, i wouldn't want to even own a tv.

*hugs*

OMG this person who's talking right now? If I saw her on the street I would *so* think she's pretty!

[marishna.livejournal.com]

I JUST turned the channel. *sigh* Stupid fox.

Oh my God, isn’t it disgusting? I went on huge tirade after I saw that commercial and I think I scared my family :/ Reality TV has never been my thing, but that's like the lowest I've seen them stoop so far.

[phibetafunkay.livejournal.com]

Shows like that exemplify why this country's so fucked up. :(

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I'm so with you. Why couldn't the O.C. be on right now?! *cries*

*turns off TV*

*turns on again and puts on VH1*

Heee! A QAF commercial!

:(((

If it were you sitting there just laughing and snorting instead of this, the world would be a much better place.

OMG...*shudder*

A new low for reality television.

And I wonder why I can't stand to watch television these days? All of the good shows are on the pay channels!

Ugh.

The Swan is...wow. There are no words.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

::sniffle::

...and both MTV and VH1 are talking about plastic surgery at the same time. Grrr!

You and Willis both know how incredibly shallow I am, and thought I hate reality TV, I love shows like this and Extreme Makeover. I really, really feel genuinely happy for these people that get what they want. It *is* sad that they feel so bad about themselves in the first place. If we didn't live in such a Barbie-beautified society then people would be happier with themselves just the way they are, but we do, and I get all teary-eyed to see these people finally feel beautiful about themselves. That is, after I stop laughing at them.:|

Ooh, look! Randy so pretty....

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I agree 100%. I guess I was stuck at the sad phase, pookie.

The only reality TV I like is the one with KyanTheHot.

Ooh, look! Randy so pretty....

He is so evolutionarily advantaged.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

All of the good shows are on the pay channels!

Absolutely. Sopranos rocks. And June is the new April (SFU!).

[stellarlee.livejournal.com]

Heee, best part of that commercial is Gale's cute little gasp ;))

\:D/ tomorrow! tomorrow! \:D/

WTF is The Swan?? :|

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I *knew* you'd eventually come over and ask! :))

From TV Guide:

The Swan
60 mins

Debut: Leave it to Fox to take Extreme Makeover to the extreme.
In this reality spectacle, 16 self-proclaimed plain Janes undergo major surgeries to shed their old selves in an effort to shape up for the May finale's beauty pageant. But it's not just the knife these ladies are going under. They'll also be under the watchful eye of a life coach (series creator Nely Galan) and a cadre of stylists and personal trainers. Fortunately, a therapist is scheduled to be on hand as well. After all, even former ugly ducklings can get their feathers ruffled.

[bea-nonymous.livejournal.com]

Oh, Willis.

[ragingpixie.livejournal.com]

Is it good? I'm still on American Idol. Got 40 minutes before The Swan.

[tinyblondeone.livejournal.com]

Oh hell. :|

[bea-nonymous.livejournal.com]

It was cheese-filled and scary and a perfect example of how far people will go to fill the emptiness of their lives with superficiality. In other words, I was glued to the TV. If you like Extreme Makeover, or to a lesser degree, Queer Eye, then it's worth a chance. If not, then don't even bother.

(I will be watching every week.)

[ragingpixie.livejournal.com]

I LOVE EXTREME MAKEOVER.

Sigh. Looks like I'm tuning in.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Unlike Aida, I didn't even make it through. Wasn't in the mood for gory tonight :)

And I like Queer Eye for different reasons, I think. (Laughing at straight guys?)

*goes back to moody song-searching*

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

LOL the sigh.

I might be catching later episodes, when they actually turn into swans! :))

[ragingpixie.livejournal.com]

I like Queer Eye for Kyan. :x :x :x

I'm not really in the mood for gory either. And yet, I'm afraid I have to tune in anyway.

Oooh, 14 minutes.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. We have learned that trainwrecks are impossible to avoid.

Ooh! 9 minutes!

[marishna.livejournal.com]

You have far too much faith in my giggle!snort, lol.
