the show's not amazing but the THEME SONG rules!
kelseybair8 July 2006
Did anyone else notice that the theme song is really sweet? I personally think it might be the best part of the show. I think MTV's just been trying too hard recently with some of these ideas for TV. I guess it'll be catchy with a certain audience. But I'm starting to think the whole "make me over, i'm so pathetic" thing is getting pretty old. Basically, how's this for a summary? If you like Sweet 16 and Roomraiders and Made and all those sorta shows on MTV right now, then you'll probably like this show. Otherwise, I think you might as well change the channel. Unless that song is playing. It's been in my head all week. I just downloaded it. Locksley's the name of the band. They're cute too, for all you ladies out there.

One UNREAL and SHALLOW p.o.s. . . . with a message???

I have to give it the benefit of the doubt... it is entertaining, SOMEWHAT! But by the first five or six or seven minutes or so, it'll hit you... This show is very shallow, and, not only that, but very bland in genre (duh!... it's from MTV!). Despite its one-dimensional facade, somewheres hidden inside it is something very humane (not kidding). Someone wants to be someone else... TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN INNER BEING. From what I saw from the show, the contestant really earned some life points and learned how to become more confident. Although, that does remain hidden throughout the show because the show is approached as a way to affront "geeks, nerds, and dweebs" or some other "MTV Generation-al", stereotypical, character similar to that. The show tries to be funny... without succeeding. It's entertaining in a way that most MTV shows are entertaining, they claim they're "reality", but its most evident that these shows are scripted. I wouldn't watch this unless you're a complete absent-minded and shallow person much like the ones who created this show. PASS!!!
