When Bridalplasty, the new E! reality show where women will weaponize their self-loathing and battle each other to win plastic surgery procedures in time for their wedding was announced a couple months ago, we figured it was OK to laugh at it because it wasn't a reality yet. It was just an insane idea that sounded like something out of Idiocracy, and that soon E! would realize how much crap Fox caught for The Swan and maybe decide it wasn't worth it and scrap the whole ridiculous thing. But then a teaser trailer hit the internet today, and this thing got real.
Aside from the whole obviously appalling aspect of premising a show around women needing to be Barbie dolls to feel like worthy wives, I'm kind of concerned that this is going to be even more nightmarish than I originally imagined. First of all, if they're performing a procedure every week (as some sources originally reported they are), how are the recipients of those procedures going to compete in challenges right away? Are they going to be all bandaged and drugged up, crying about how it's their dream to be perfect, while trying to do Challenge-style duels? Because that's... what it sounds like. If all the challenges are just going to be writing perfect wedding vows and planning honeymoons, that's going to be a boring show, and E!'s not going to put all this out there just to have no one watch it after a week. It's in their best interest to up the horror factor, and I imagine that's what they'll do.
I don't care what you say, Jay Sean -- 2012 is still on, and Bridalplasty is the flaming Woody Harrelson in Yellowstone Park sent to warn us.

I am going to pretend that the trailer was for a 'Soup' parody.
Why am I not surprised that Giuliana Rancic is an executive producer for this show?
I will be watching. Can't let this good a trainwreck pass me by!
Frames are other gifts for the bridesmaids thoughtful. Now you can custom frame with the name or initials engraved. Remember, BEST SHOT-waiting, in part - it can help your child or the photo was taken at its meeting on the wedding photos.
Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I will be grateful if you continue this in future. Numerous people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Keep up the good work !!
So here, at Arsenal, we are often surprised when we are shown some of the newspapers, and at the bottom of an article there is a line saying if you know of anyone who had an affair with a player, call this number. It is very strange to us.
