Fitting the mould!!!

I don't generally give in to commenting on television programs!! I have my reasons! This time however, i had to take the plunge! So i am gonna take a certain competition where they start with a number of contestants who are then systematically eliminated in every episode by a panel of judges who are deemed experts in the field for which the girls are competing! Apparently the show has morphed in to a brand with of shoots in different countries!! I was going through one of their episodes where the contestants undergo their transformation!! I am not sure if anyone has noticed but they all end up being styled to resemble the different veterans of the field! They are being told that they are getting makeovers which are going to transform them and allow their uniqueness to flow through! Well at the very least it is transforming but into someones else. A kind of a younger version of someone all ready native to the scene! So where is the individuality!! And if thats not enough they are being asked to feel grateful that they are being made to look like them!! I find it very degrading! Its almost as if they are not good enough to have a voice of their own and they have to take up the voice of a different person!! I mean the show is all about grooming new talent and but what the show ends up doing is putting together knock-ups of talent already present! Do you feel as strongly as i do or am i being "Fiercely" worked up about nothing? Thanks for replying!
