ABC True Beauty Summer Reality Season 2


I happened to catch this show last season and it was pretty interesting.  It is the ultimate, superficial, egomaniac reality show.  The second season already started May 31, but the premier somehow slipped by me.  I wasn't even aware it had aired until I saw the host, Vanessa Minnillo on one of the nightly talk shows, promoting it.  If you missed it, full episodes are on Hulu.com.

Executive producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher team up again to put their spin on beauty in Sin City.  Five gorgeous females and five hot men will live together at Planet Hollywood Hotel while they compete (they think) to become the “Face of Vegas.”  Unbeknownst to them, they’ll be deliberately challenged by moral situations to see if they really are kind, generous and compassionate and have what it takes to be truly beautiful inside and out.

One person will be eliminated each week based on their behavior and how well they ranked in each challenge, as they’re evaluated and critiqued by the judges.  At the end of eight episodes, one contestant, who has successfully demonstrated both inner and outer beauty will be declared the winner. That winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize and a feature article in People magazine.

Vanessa Minnillo returns as a host and judge, but only reveals herself to the contestants after they are eliminated.  Carson Kressley (“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”) hosts as well as judges, and puts his spin on things, as only he can.  Beth Ostrosky Stern, a former model and the wife of the self-described “King of All Media” Howard Stern, makes her broadcast television debut and shares her opinion on beauty.
