I don't know if it's still running on cable now. It's a good show, but I thought you'd have seen enough live ER action at work to not want to watch more of the same on TV.

The people featured on this show aren't just looking for a a "me, only better" transformation....
".. follow the transformations of twelve young people who have chosen to use plastic surgery to look like their celebrity idols."
This show is riveting not just because of the gore factor, to which we're quite accustomed to...
The freaky parts of this show are the post-op results. Because the people lift features whole-sale off some celebrity, the new features don't always fit on their own bodies and the outcome sometimes turn out worse than the original.
And, the whole concept of this show is kinda freaky really... People who want so much to look like their idol (and therefore, be just as successful) that they're willing to go through major surgery.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wow... you're one of the few folks I know who aren't in the medical / healthcare profession who has the stomach to sit through those scenes!
You're one brave squaw!
That reality show you mentioned... is that available only for Digital Cable subscribers? I remember seeing that show listed and was considering subscribing to Digital Cable for that!

no brainers.... like fashion, wat looks good on others doesn't necessarily look good on u.... -
Yep.. those r really stupid pple. Going thru tons of plastic to look like Brad Pitt but turn out anything but him. Lame. Changing oneself doesnt have to be such extreme. N where's one's on self-esteem n self-worth? If u dun even respect urself, then u r pathetic.Originally posted by tare:wonder wat happen if they change their "idol"?

i dun even think they like themselves in the 1st place, less respect.....Originally posted by Gackt247:Yep.. those r really stupid pple.

It's juz a phase. Is all in the mind. Once u have hopped on n completed ur personal ego-trip, actions to improve oneself will follow. Been thru tt n done tt. My personal achievement. I used to dwell in self-pity. Not anymore.Originally posted by tare:i dun even think they like themselves in the 1st place, less respect..... -

Guess I won't be able to watch it in the near future.
When I was still holding my corporate job, I couldn't get enough of medical thrillers and all that... and now, even after seeing all the blood and gore on the job, I still can't get enough of it on TV and the movies! hehehe! I guess you can say it's in my blood! It's a perfect job-match! hehehe! -
I've only felt that way after watching Ju-On (all the movies in the trilogy) and the recent movie, Creep.Originally posted by tare:
i... i.... need protection..... But, I have to be my own hero so I just walk real fast when I'm home, planning the fastest manoevre to get myself in the door and shut the gate before any horrible serial killer or apparition whatever can run / crawl into my house.
Creep really spooked the hell outta me... You should see how fast I ran up the stairs to my home when I went home in the wee hours of the morning!

wat is ur profession?Originally posted by Rhonda:As I was watching Nip-Tuck on TV just now, I was pretty surprised to see that there were several scenes inside where the plastic surgeons were operating and they actually showed the bloody and gory bits! They showed the scalpel slicing someone's scalp, and then they inserted an instrument to separate the scalp from the skull... Everything was sooo realistic!
Due to my profession, I can stomach such scenes but I can imagine my mom wincing and making comments like 'How can they show that on TV?!' and turning her face away from the TV with a huge frown.
I'm just wondering, how many of you watched that show and felt the operation scenes were gruesome and horrendous?
I thought it was educational, but I'm sure there are those who'd rather not have seen those scenes. -
