The Resume

    (December 11, 2002-July 16, 2007)
    Host: Sam Saboura
    60 minutes
    Aired on ABC
    Reality TV
    Premise: Men and women undergo extreme and dramatic makeovers involving plastic surgery, exercise regimens, hairdressing, and change in wardrobe

Why Extreme Makeover might be annoying:

    They took advantage of women with low self esteem.
    Its entire premise is superficial.
    Participants were not allowed to look in a mirror for weeks.
    One contestant named Deleese Williams was dropped from her scheduled makeover deeming that her transformation would 'take too long.' This resulted in the suicide of her sister Kellie McGee.
    Further complicating the matter, Williams sued the producers for breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress because she accused the producers of the show of requiring McGee to say things about her sister's appearance that were both false and cruel.
    Its ratings plummeted season-after-season.
    It probably inspired another show with the same premise, FOX's 'The Swan.'

Why Extreme Makeover might not be annoying:

    The show most definitely saved the lives of some people.
    The dietitians would offer tips on healthy eating.
    Its premiere episode scored high ratings.
    It spun off the more-successful 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.'
