+220 We really don't need shows like Bridal Plasty. It shouldn't matter what you look like on your wedding day, your husband should think you look beautiful no matter what, amirite?

We may not need them, but they're funny as hell.

I think it's horrible. The weight loss shows I could deal with, but now they're throwing a bunch of plastic surgery into the mix.

I just think that the drama between contestants is hilarious because of how ridiculous it is.

why is plastic surgery a funny joke all of a sudden? i mean the show will be entertaining, but on a serious note its pretty sad.

This show creeps me out.. I can't imagine what the groom is thinking when he sees a completely different face under the veil.

I'd be pissed if my future husband showed up looking completely different without talking to me first, even if it make him look like Ryan Gosling

this show makes me feel insicure out of a sudden, i dont think this is a good show at ALL what negative feedback is gives to its viewers and contestants. you are getting married, that should be a great feeling not a stressful one. diet and exercise is great, plastic surgery is on another extreme level....

Not so happy watching the very first episode. The show is kind of stupid though. So sad watching Ashley got ditched by all the other bitches who voted. I would rather kick Alexandra out. Why would have the show that never serves the purpose?

This show disgusts me. What a horrible image to portray to young kids.

I've watched most of the episodes and I think a lot of it is scripted :P

Maybe they get plastic surgery to feel better about themselves. Don't be so quick to judge by saying that they're doing it so their husbands will think they're pretty. If you've been thinking about getting plastic surgery, the show is a good opportunity since they pay for it for you.

Thanks so much for posting that. People can't seem to grasp that women do not make every aesthetic decision with men in mind. Everyone likes to appear a way that makes them feel comfortable - women are no exception. They can, and do, like looking good because it makes THEM happy, not so men/a man get to like gawping at them. That said, I also think the sentiment of this post is problematic. Saying "he should think you look beautiful no matter what" is not a great principle - it implies that in order to treat a person who is not beautiful with respect, you need to remove the "not beautiful" aspect and think of them as beautiful. If you don't get why this is problematic think of it as trying to see a woman as an equal by remove the "woman" aspect and thinking of them as a man, or a PoC by remove the "non-white race" aspect and thinking of them as white. They shouldn't HAVE to look beautiful all the time to be treated with respect, and niceness. It's just kind of treading a fine line. He doesn't have to think of her as beautiful all the time - he is perfectly entitled to not - but he does have to treat her respectfully all the time, regardless of her appearance. /rant over

Everyone has their own defintion of "beauty". He shouldn't even let her be on the show for one thing. As long as he thinks she's beautiful, that's all that damn matters. Let's face the facts here, those ladies aren't doing it for "themselves" everyone on that show has been brainwashed by the world that big boobs and small noses are attractive. It has molded their definition of it and the fact that they would go to such measures to get it isn't mentally healthy.

Uhh, he shouldn't "let" her on the show? Are you really implying that the husband here should have the authority to decide what a woman does with her appearance? I completely, 100% agree with you saying women are told every day that they don't look good enough. They need to buy product X, Y and Z because otherwise their too fat, their natural hair is horrible, their eyelashes are too short, their skin isn't smooth enough, their lips are too pale, etc, etc. The body-policing that goes on in media is appalling, and though men get their share, it is undeniably true that most of it is aimed at women. That said, it is a woman's choice how she wants her body to look. Her husband can let her know that he doesn't think it's necessary at all just to dispel any worries she has if she IS doing it for him... but ultimately, it really might be because it makes her feel better about herself. That might be due to media conditioning, but still.

No I'm not implying that. On the show, they encourage it and push their wives on to go through with it. All i'm saying that they shouldn't pressure their wives to do something they don't want. For example I was watching a episode and the girl wanted to go home and that she didn't care anymore. But her husband pressured her to stay.

Ah, I perhaps looked too much into the "let" thing then. I agree that they should definitely not pressure there wives to go through with plastic surgery. I've never seen this show (I'm guessing it's an American-only thing, because I've only heard snippets of it), so I didn't realise it was quite that bad.

The fiancé is like: "I love her just the way she is, but a new nose, bigger boobs, higher cheekbones, and maybe a nip & tuck somewhere. But otherwise, I love her just how she is. She's perfect in my eyes. Except if she could look completely different on our wedding day, I would be //so// happy. I love you baby. Just change your body for me!" And I'm like: LEAVE HIM!

I agree yes that your husband, if he truley loves you, will think you're beautiful even if you're at your worst. But at the same time, on a brides wedding day, she should feel thousands of times more beautiful than she already is :)
