Characters who I wouldn't want to be
The show does bring negative thoughts to mind. Though in the world we live in now, I feel there are more and more people who are becoming more self conscious about their bodies and appearances. With this in mind, I believe many watch the show because they are in awe and want to see what other crazy things these people will do. Sort of like how Jersey Shore has it's crew of blockheads who are revered for their stupidity/comedy. However, I also think there are many people who watch the show because they ARE self conscious and are looking to other ways to find beauty. Either way, the characters are promoting plastic surgery through the media and I am sure that the industry of plastic surgery is also fueling the stream of these types of shows as well.

It's true that image has always been an important part of the entertainment industry. Having only attractive people in the entertainment industry does tend to make many people insecure about they're image.
It is very true that many of the people on rtv shows are chosen because of not only how they act, but how they look. People wan't to be entertained and have an escape from their lives. Shows like bridalplasty are promoting looking not only young, but sometimes very fake. Promoting the image that you have to look ar act this way, which as Zack said, can make you feel very insecure.
