    Just a bit sick really hide « show »

    I stumbled on this show by accident. And while yes I agree that some people need a little help to look how they want to I really don't think this is the right way to go.

    Like almost every woman on the planet I am not happy with how I look. I wasn't happy when I was skinny because I was more flat chested and now I'm not happy that I have breasts because I have gained weight all over. But I have never once thought that plastic surgery would be the answer.

    I have a problem with this show for a few reasons. Firstly it is so infuriating to hear the "Experts" claim that a woman under 30 absolutly needs a face lift. She doesn't NEED it by any means. Most of the women who appear on this show would look good if they just threw on a bit of make up and got a hair cut. The fact that the choices made for how these women are going to turn out is taken completly out of their hands and put into the hands of some bloke who will then form them is just disgusting and sets women back decades.

    This brings me onto my other problem. I have always believed that what is beautiful in life is what makes us unique. Who wants to see a sea of barbie resembeling women and nothing else? Newsflash: even men don't neccesarily like that. By taking away unique features these people are taking away what is natural and beautiful about these girls. Instead turning them into mass produced looking attomotons. The thing I find sad about this show is that clearly some people do feel so low that they see this as the only way to go. An increase in self confidence would go far further then a boob job. I'm not saying im against surgery as a whole, but rather I believe if people want it it should be their own choice and they should bear in mind, is beauty really looking like every other celebrity out there?

    Plz somebody help. Plz read hide « show »

    Hello I need your help. I'm not sure where to turn to now since I found out the show doesn't exist any longer. I know this is a long shot but I'm just hoping the right person will read it. My name is Nikki and I am 24yrs old. I am some what of an attractive girl. I have lived a normal life. My best friend is an amazing person. She has an amazing heart and is the best person I know. I was hoping to find out how to right to the show. Everyone thinks my friend is a guy. Shes on the thicker side and has no boobs. None. She dresses in t-shirts and jeans because she thinks wouldnt look right in girlie clothes.She has never had a boyfriend.She played hockey her whole life as well as her brothers. Her dad stop going to her games cause he said she wasn't good enough.Her parents favor her bothers.They have never treated her as a girl.When we go out I get attention and she doesn't.One time we went salsa dancing(I drug her there:) it was ladies night (free cover) at the top of the stairs was a man who collected money from the guys. He didn't speak English and wouldn't let Kara go. I had to say shes a chica like 5 times. She recently poured her heart me and told me that ever since was a little kid girls at school used to tell her she was in the wrong bathroom. Shes never been happy and it's sooo sad. She deserves to live a normal life. So if anyone can help us please e-mail me mazda711@comcast.net

    This show has been an insperation in many lives. It is a shame that it is not on the air anymore. hide « show »

    Please bring this show back. It would mean a lot to both me and my step mom!We would like to do a mother daughter segment. It is Amazing how you all work together and compleate what i like to call a puzzle. One that is in a person but is all scrambled up due to there appearence and how they feel in the inside. Of which gets put together by positive reenforcement which would be all of you. Please put the show back on Its a show i am sure we all miss very much! thank you so much!

    Please bring this show back! Addressing the outside beauty can be done by anyone, but addressing outside and inside beauty was done so wonderfully by this show! hide « show »

    This show is an inspiration. The women on this show were transformed on the outside, but more importantly they were transformed on the inside. The combination of these two transformations is what makes the results lasting. No other reality show on TV covers the inside as well as the outside. There is another weight loss reality TV program, but they focus on the outside, not on the internal reason for weight gain and low self esteem. I hope that the producers of this program are willing to take a 2nd look at bringing this program back, I am sure there is no shortage of ugly ducklings just waiting for their chance to be a Swan.... I am one of them.

    I loved The Swan! Please please please please bring it back! hide « show »

    I loved The Swan! Please please please please bring it back!
    It helped so many and inspired so many! I miss it soooo much!Not only were the people given a new body, face or whatever, but a new chance at life and a new start! What an amazing idea and an amazing show! The show touched me and made me wish I was a contestant! Also showing the process for what each contestant went through was very educational and interesting. Hopefully we can all get our petition granted and see "The Swan" back on air! It's been 4 years and still people are thinking about it!
