Nobody’s Perfect

February 29th, 2004

Anyone who thinks that reality TV has reached rock bottom with Back to Reality should think again: The Guardian reports on an Italian show called Scalpel: Nobody’s Perfect:

Annamaria had always been a bit self-conscious. In the Bel Paese, where at 69 Sophia Loren still turns heads, the 20-year-old was painfully aware of her flat chest.

And then along came the adverts in Italian newspapers offering free plastic surgery. Only one drawback: you had to have it on camera, in front of several million viewers.

This week Annamaria bared her A cups to the nation on prime-time TV, dotted lines penned around them by surgeon Roy de Vita as he mapped out the planned ‘before’ and ‘after’.

[…]

Since the show was devised by Endomol, the creators of Big Brother, we can safely assume that the idea is being shopped round the British TV networks even now.

(Must. Resist. Cracking. Joke. About. It. Coming. Several. Years. Too. Late. For. Jordan.)

    I think there’s a similar thing in the US

    Then we can only hope that the US version flops so badly that it puts off the British networks from adopting it.
