Oh man this woman my be fubarred. The network and disney those are the ones being sued, Have aired on the news that it isin the contract that all particpants are told their makeover may not happen in advance. If this is true i think the network as coverd their asses.

This is what I would expect. They must interview many many applicants and I would expect that they would have considered the issue

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Oh yes sir the woman was made aware of the facts that her makeover might not happen. the network said she signed waivers relasing them of fault if the makeover is not to happen. the only thing she might have on her side, which wasnt mentioned, is if there was a time frame of notification that the make over will not happen in the contract.

Again all this is what we would expect-- so it seems the evil evil producers probably told her from the start that a makeover was not certain and they needed to do some preliminary stuff to determine who gets the freebie.

But for the rest of you, please don't let facts get in the way of a good ahte on for ABC or major corporations oe whatever

I will only get mad at ABC if the season premier for LOST sucks

Actually, I'm not mad at ABC. I'm just disgusted that shows like this--nay, all reality tv shows--can even get an audience.

and for that I don't blame the networks. If people don't watch, a show gets axed pretty quick which unfortunately has been the fate of many programs which IMHO are far better that what is on the networks.

Of course there is a preliminary selection of "victims", but if it's true what the OT says she was selected and there had even been spots telling about her. I wouldn't care a bit if she hadn't passed the preliminaries, but after that ...

Well I couldn't find anything about her on Google yesterday. Or do you think they've just wiped her from all the coverage of the show?

Tragically, there's no accounting for taste. It's why schlock like Walker, Texas Ranger or Stargate SG-1 get ratings, while shows like Undeclared and Firefly are ignored.

People are, and have always been, whores. People, in general, are stupid, disgusting, annoying brutes who claim to have intelligence, dignity, and self-respect, and yet, they never display any of those characteristics.

No, if left unchecked, people will do the same stupid things they've always done.

The reason why most of my disgust is geared towards the reality TV producers and shows instead is that they're enablers. They enable the whoring in a way that until recently, just wasn't possible. Much like how I feel sorry for drug addicts, I feel sorry for the attention-starved camwhores who want to be famous for all 30 seconds--but I feel no pity, just disgust and anger, at those who'd push the plague onto the victims.

Yes, a case can be made that those who participate are complicit in their abasement. It's perfectly fine to be disgusted at their behavior, but should we be disgusted with them, as people? No. They're just so desperate for attention that pity is really the only emotion I can conjure for them.

...and as far as watchers of this tripe, I wouldn't call them enablers so much as just passive participants~ heinously accepting spoon-fed dung because they've convinced themselves that it might not be utter ****. Pity? No. Disgust? A little. Shame that I belong to the same species? Very much so.

Maybe, or maybe google is a bit slow - a search on Deleese Williams today gives at least 312 hits.

Are you saying that she has boobs on both front and back ????

[Mrs. Tuberski]

The network told this woman that the makeover may never happen it was only a proprosal. They have stated that they never promised her this was going to happen only that it is possible. If you are willing to subject yourself to this humaliation then i cant feel sorry for you. This lady knew it was possible that shed be nixed i am assuming she didnt realize it could or would be the night before the surgery.

They should have had a surgeon co-ordinate the effort from the get go and give them an estimate of time and cost first. Undoubtedly it's difficult to find a high income bracket professional like a plastic surgeon willing to do that sort of scut work for a TV show.
