Bridal Plasty
You know as I was cycling through the characters on this show, I began to think "this looks like The Biggest Loser with plastic surgery." Come to find out one of the contestants on Bridal Plasty actually is a former contestant on The Biggest Loser. Go figure (as a side note, she must not have gotten very far in The Biggest Loser...just saying.) But then I came across one of the contestants named Cheyenne. Why the H is she on this show? She is soooo attractive. She doesn't need plastic surgery in any regards. There are a couple of others just like her on the show. Women are so self-conscious, but I think one of the aims of casting attractive women with women ranging from the so-so scale to the ehh scale is so that viewers at home have a reason to watch. It puts a spin on things. Who wants to just watch the fat chicks fight for plastic surgery? A lot of people. Who wants to have attractive antagonists to root against when they don't need it all? You can argue that the show is meant to inform people how women feel about themselves when they look in the mirror, uglier than they actually are. But for the most part I think its main aim is for pure entertainment. However, America is all about looking younger. Diet pills, P90x routines,plastic surgery, even neck slimmer adds that I see at 3 in the morning. You can really argue any of these points for the shows purpose, maybe its goal is an acclimation of all of these different purposes.

I agree, these shows need to lean towards a plethera of audiences. By providing both categories of people it leaves it open for more people to watch and gives them more reasons to watch.
I never thought about how there are some attractive girls on the show and not-so-attractive girls. I'll admit I've watched this show a couple times and now I notice that I was rooting against the already really attractive girls because I felt like they really had no reason to be on the show. Honestly, no one should be on that show, but especially those girls. Most of the pretty ones had a nasty attitude anyways.
Definetly true on the part of how they make sure they cast atleast a couple of attractive ladies. Just to attract the viewers. Not only that but being attractive sometimes also gives you a kind of credibility which others do not have. But yea this is all for pure entertainment. Although i am not really sure who finds this entertaining at all, very funny to watch though.
Josh, your point about the biggest loser contestant showing up on Bridalplasty struck a chord. It is interesting that there are repeat offenders in the RTV world... people that appear on more than one RTV show. So in a way, there are RTV actors/actresses.
