If you were in a room surrounded by ten beautiful people, you could probably find more than ten reasons to be jealous. However, "True Beauty" is not fixated on whatever jealousies may arise. The competition is truly about the one contestant that is beautiful both on the outside- and the inside.
Ten minutes into the premiere episode, I was hooked on how highly these people thought of themselves. A laugh or two escaped me, and at first, it appeared to be a fun show about vanity and over-the-top self-esteems. But then, the light-heartedness flew out the door when the judges announced that all of the contestants would be ranked in the "science" of their beauty.
So here we are, in a show seemingly about inner beauty, ranking the physical qualities and proportions of the one thing in life that can never be measured. At first, I thought it was a joke, but the doctor who made the "equasion" for beauty was not only serious, but Vanessa Minnillo called him "a professional" and scorned one of the characters for thinking otherwise.
All three of the judges take advantage of the opportunity to demean the 10 contestants, when they all have some serious flaws when it comes to inner beauty themselves. Overall, the show is hypocritical...but well edited and the concept is new to reality television. When everything is balanced out, I'd give it a 7/10.
