God, I’ve just watched this, on Hulu.
20 years ago I was a young single mum of 2, and thought it was a dream to be transformed, how happy they looked, how thinner they were etc etc
Wow, reality tv was so disgusting when I think about it, from shows like this, to Jeremy Kyle, there really was an era for it, that I can’t see ever coming back again (thankfully)
has anyone seen it? Or used to watch the swan?

the YouTuber Luxeria has done many videos on this show (and others like Americas Next Top Model) before it was the flavour of the day to scrutinise them

id recommend giving her channel a watch

Yes of course americas next top model! Another I was glued to then decades later a shock documentary about how awful it really was
i almost feel ashamed that this was entertaining to me
