I hope this woman wins enough to get the help, both physically and emotionally she needs.

More unreal reality. Reality shows have become so contrived that they no longer work. I bet we see much less of them in the future.

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

Deleese Williams has a constitutional right to redress of grievance. I hope she wins in court. I hope she wins big.

This family is shredded. There is a human cost to this

I missed this bit.

This family is "shredded" over the woman not having plastic surgery? Give me a break.

If they said crappy things, that is their failing, not any fault of some dumb show.

And if their happiness is determined by what this woman looks like, and if her happiness is determined by what she looks like, the whole lot of them need some counseling, not a knife.

If You Wanna Be Happy
Jimmy Soul

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Sax solo

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view>br> Get an ugly girl to marry you

Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

But when the ABC reality show dumped the Texas mom the night before the life-changing plastic surgeries, it shattered her family's dream and triggered her sister Kellie McGee's suicide, says a bombshell lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior Court.

Strange, but she wasn't ugly enough to prevent her from getting married and having a couple of kids.

These shows are just beyond belief, and finally someone has died as a result of them. The fascination with reality based shows has perplexed me for quite some time. One freak show after another is entertainment now? Encouraging family members to trash one and another has finally taken its toll.

[Puddleglum]

I hope this woman wins enough to get the help, both physically and emotionally she needs.

I think I agree. I think what these make over shows do is cruel. I think the value of "beauty" they promote is harmful -- not to mention the fact that the results are often grotesque. But they exploit the victim's emotions in an unconscionable manner.

[Aquinasfan]

Crap like this wasn't even dreamed of in "Network," way back in 1976, and as recently as fifteen years ago I thought "Network" was over the top.

"Kellie could not live with the fact that she had said horrible things that hurt her sister. She fell to pieces. Four months later, she ended her life with an overdose of pills, alcohol and cocaine," said Wesley Cordova, a lawyer for Williams.

Somehow I think there were likely pre-existing issues with the sister who committed suicide. I doubt seriously that this 'slight' was what caused her drug problems, then her suicide.

[AD from SpringBay]

This settles it - there needs to be registration and waiting periods for reality shows. And they need to keep a close eye on those reality show loop holes.

TV companies have descended to an all-time low in their choice of programming. Even programs like "Survivor" and other so-called "reality" shows appeal only to individuals who have no sense of purpose and no worthwhile pursuits of their own. The networks rely on viewers, many of whom have gone through what Americans call their "public education system," even the colleges and universities, and yet they are so devoid of understanding and purpose for living that they must be entertained by the embarrassment and/or misery of others, instead of going out and living productive, helpful lives.

How sad that it is not the owners, writers, producers, actors and assorted other purveyors of such meaningless drivel that suffer the consequences. Instead, they celebrate their own ignorance and decadence with awards ceremonies, piling insult on injury.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I hate this show. Very exploitative! I hope the lawyers stick it to ABC!
