Um, doesn't she already look good naked?

Have you seen the show "How to Look Good Naked?" I want to like it. Carson Kresley is actually very endearing. I like woman feeling good about themselves. So why does the show suck? Well, let me admit to you that I have had a glass of wine tonight, and so in the interest of not embarrassing myself I will just outline my reasons for believing that the show sucks.
I. First and most importantly: most of the woman already look good naked
A. Like seriously, I've now seen them naked and their bodies are those of the rare women who seriously like make it to forty and have kids and still have not just nice bodies but the bodies of actress'.
B. Every woman should feel great about herself, but also has the right to have her own insecurities. But really? That body leaves you paralyzed and unable to live your life?
1. Get over it you stupid bitch.

II. When the women are heavy, in an effort to make them feel good about themselves, Carson sets up a row of five woman who get heavier as the line goes on, and has the staring woman guess where she fits on the line.
A. This is horrible
B. Then it gets even worse.
1. Invariably she puts herself like 4th of the 5 women, and then Carson get to explain to herself that she sees herself as much heavier than she is! She should really have been third! I'm glad that you are on camera, women 4 and 5! Because you have just been basically called fat! Fatter than the fat woman who thinks she is too fat to live! It is good that you are on camera because this way you cannot your wrists, women 4 and 5!

III. Sometimes the women are... a little too eager to believe and it makes me uncomfortable.
A. The first woman to ever be on the show, a beautiful girl, was watching footage the Carson had taken on the street. He showed people her picture and asked what they thought. Lots of "She looks healthy!" "I think that she's very pretty. Women have been getting too skinny."
B. Carson asks what she thinks, and she says, "You know, I'm just so used to being negative. As I watched that I just kept thinking that you edited that so that I only saw the nice things people said!"
1. Carson smiles really big, but why do his eyes look so strained?
2. They don't do that segment anymore.

thanks for watching the show for me. I can trust your opinion. I was wondering how in the heck they would pull a stunt like this off, considering that tv ratings these days are based on sensationalism instead of quality. So, it doesn't surprise me that all the women they found already look good naked!

ugh!

and what network is going to bring back the Golden Girls!!!
