True Beauty Season 2 - Premiere "The Stealing Challenge" 5/31/10

Wow. I figured they'd never find another bunch of vapid, clueless a-holes who hadn't heard about season one. But they DID!

ABC’s True Beauty is a reality competition with a twist. Ten contestants are chosen to live together and compete to be the “Most Beautiful” in this beauty-based reality competition. There’s just one minor detail that no one told them. Not only is each person being evaluated on outer appearance and success in the challenges, but also judged on their inner beauty and how they handle the situations they encounter.
Mindless summer programming, but it is still fun to watch the narcissists get smacked down a peg or two after blatantly being shown clips of them being assholes of reduced moral fiber. I'm in for the duration.

I watched the whole first season, pretty mindless entertainment. I don't know what guy in their right mind thinks they would ever look good as a drag queen, glad he went home.

Well I hope the "competitions" aren't all like this. It really kind of sucked that that one chick won the contest because she looked the best in her STOLEN outfit. That was just stupid.

I admit to having this on in the background on Monday since nothing else was on TV. I'm not sure if I find the ladies all that hot, maybe the plant is cute, though.

I must admit this is one of my guilty pleasures.

I totally forgot about this show. It actually was pretty good for mindless entertainment. I missed this premiere, but I'll have to check out the rest.

I thought the cheesy dude who wouldn't help that gal and her dog should have received the boot.

It would be pretty sad for me to watch this on Hulu. I can live w/o watching the first episode, but thanks anyhow.

Sounds like things haven't changed since season one. I gave up on that season a few episodes in because of things like this. I understand that they have to sell the fake concept to the contestants, but I disliked how the main challenge results seemed so independent of the real purpose of the show.

I love the concept but the execution just didn't work for me.

My local ABC aired this at 4 am yesterday so my DVR caught it. Fortunately, the evil T&A stayed. Amazing body. The chicks are pretty good quality for reality TV. Love that this is in Vegas.

at the guy walking over and pushing the tangled dog-person. And dressing up as a tranny to score chips on the Vegas strip?

Unless she can maneuver her way to the final, you can be sure that they'll bring that up again.

I knew the straight dudes would dig that. What's not to love?

Hey straight guys, would you date an annoying "chatter box" like the blond who almost got sent home?

Also, I love how the chick from the first season dramatically makes an appearance at the end like they are supposed to know who she is.

Heck no, but I don't think she's attractive anyhow.

But at least she spoke up about the drunk, so she earns pts with me there.

Agreed. Much better than that douche just standing there watching.

at the blonde dingbat getting kicked off for using her cell phone. At least it keeps Liz around who is a trainwreck and has a great body.

I really enjoy this show. The focus group was great, particularly the old ugly women who hated on the pretty girls.

Yeah, I'm glad the "chatterbox" got the boot.

I can't wait to see everyone's jaw drop when they see Liz and Taylor return next week only to realize that Regina is gone.

I'm glad Liz will be hanging around making everyone mad.

Liz was CRAZY when she was starting arguments over her "pole dancing" in the hot tub.
I like this show, and I liked it last year too. The whole "Face of Vegas" angle seems to have em all fooled, and allows the hamsters to act stupid. TB ends up being campy fluff, which is why I find it a guilty pleasure.

It works well because nobody remembers this show to begin with. Like someone said before....when Vanessa walks out for the big reveal with the dramatic music, it's not like these hamsters suddenly realize that this is really True Beauty.
