Did anyone watch it last night? The clothes that Nicky picked out were ghastly and did nothing for the woman on the programme.

yes, they were awful!! Everytime my dh sees Nicky he says, "she should get herself some new glasses - hasn't she looked at herself!" lol!!!

LOL - My dh hates her plummy accent. I read somewhere she is only 34, I think she looks older. Trinny & Susannah are much much better and the people on it don't have to go through all that agony.

Yes - the teeth thing is often a real eye-opener isn't it. If they wanted to put people off smoking and encourage them to look after their teeth, they should show some episodes of '10 years younger' in secondary schools . May be a bit too gory, though. We often have to turn over for those bits!

Most of the clothes she picks out are a load of shit! Last night's were gross, agree Trinny & Susannah are better at choosing the clothes.

I like watching it, noticed they always cry when they get the teeth done, don't blame them, it makes such a difference.

I didn't really like last night's new hair though either but it obviously did loads for her confidence.

I've been watching, "How to live longer" which is on in the mornings.... really good informative programme and the woman in todays show looked amazing after 6 weeks of cutting down smoking (from 30 to 5 a day), only having a glass or two of wine of a weekend, instead of every day and drinking tonnes of water, eating healthy food and walking her dogs!

Fimbo · 03/02/2006 13:02

I agree the hair was awful.

Plus..... no horrible surgery , so no need to hide behind the cushion

Fimbo · 03/02/2006 13:04

I think if you followed a loose version of McKeith's healthy eating and followed the advice for your shape from Trinny & Suze - you would actually look quite good.

Doesn't she choose the most hideous outfits! Even dh is appalled.

Aloha · 03/02/2006 13:08

The mock-Austrian national costume outfit was the worst, i think, though the see through polo neck lurex blouse came close.

Fimbo · 03/02/2006 13:10

Yes, the see through disco outfit was hideous my dh actually swore (he doesn't swear often).

I think it's awful of producers, to make the poor person stand there, whilst people try to guess their age - how embarrasing is that??!

Auntymandy · 03/02/2006 13:12

Hardly ever watch it, but most times think..ahh wouldnt wear that, plus if they were told how to dress and get their hair and makeup doen they wouldnt need the surgery!
I wonder how old people would think I was..........

Fimbo · 03/02/2006 13:14

I still thought the woman on it looked older than 35 even when they had finished. She went through all that agony with the chemical peel etc, eye lift etc and still had loads of wrinkles when she laughed. I couldn't do it.

i was so shocked that that woman on make 10 yrs younger was only 2 yrs older than me!!!! i thought - Crikey all those wrinkles!!!!!! and she had a fab body to show off though

hotmama · 03/02/2006 13:28

The clothes were awful - I can't stand those cropped trousers thingys!

That woman was terrible for 34 - I'm nearly 39 and she looked a good few years older than me.

I love the hairdresser fella - but I never like the styles he does.

So is it better to have a fab face but dodgy body OR fab body but wrinkly old prune of a face?

Did anyone watch it last night? Slight improvement on the clothes and hair but what was that 80's new romantic look that Nicky was wearing in the closing shots? Come back Trinny & Susannah quick!
