Has anyone seen this show? I am not sure if it has had previous incarnations in other countries. It is currently showing here in the US. It's a reality show that follows a group of nice looking people, including on hidden camera. When someone gets booted from the show, they are told the contest is not about just how you look on the outside, but how you are on the inside. They are then shown clips where they were mean to people, or snarky in general. Since the purpose of the show is only revealed to someone after they are leaving the cast, and they have no further interaction with them, the rest of the people have no heads up to artificially clean up their act. I have only seen one episode, and I am not sure what to think. I am by no means a beautiful person, and I probably would not like to have a mirror held up to my actions, either. I think some of what I do is good, but definitely not everything. Would you want someone following you with a hidden camera, to show you how you act when you think no one is watching? Would you blame them for pointing it out to it, or would you vow to fix things? Have you dealt with people who think their "stuff" don't stink, and will only focus on their vanity regardless?

I love this show! The first girl that got kicked off was such a stinker about it. She had a really bad attitude throughout the show and was horribly rude at the end. My favorite girl is the quirky blonde girl I think her name is Chelsea. I don't really care for any of the other people. I don't think that I would do good on that show but I believe that I might figure out that it isn't just a beauty pageant. The show makes it very obvious when the 2 people go to the elimination ceremony. If I had gone to elimination twice and each time some nutjob did something silly as I was walking to the door I'd like to think that I would figure out that something was up. I firmly believe that that guy that went to elimination like 3 times in a row knew exactly what the show was about. Maybe that's why they got rid of him.

I haven't watched it enough to really keep up with who is who. I guess they were hoping the contestants were all so self-absorbed they wouldn't notice, LOL.

I've watched all the episodes of this show since it started airing. My sister and my mom love it. I'm not a huge fan of reality tv, but I guess this show is kind of entertaining. It's kind of funny to see how people act when they don't think their actions would be used against them, like they are in this show. Some of the people are pretty self absorbed and rude to others, which definitely isn't showing a lot of inner beauty. I personally wouldn't want to have cameras follow me around...though I don't think I behave differently when no ones around, so I don't htink I'd have anything to hide.

I just saw the one where the girl with the short dark hair got eliminated. She was pretty torqued about it. She was pretty catty, but I can't say I don't say catty things... hopefully, I would be more empathetic than she was, though.
