On the other hand, Monica Lewinsky wasn’t in showbusiness. Perhaps people take issue with the notion that going down on the President is a ticket to a television career?
Sorry if I seem overly argumentative here; it’s not my intent.
Huh? In the commercials I saw, they were wearing some sort of cloth skullcap that covered their entire heads except for the facial area, and the mask covered everything but their lips. Did they change this in the actual show?
A few years ago, Fox was doing a commercial for an upcoming Ripley’s and they had a guy who had cancer and he had a fake face. He could pull most of it off as it was made of rubber.
That would be funny if he was one of them. And the bimbo picked him.
Saw one of the promos where she was just kind of grooving with some of the guys in the masks … that just floored me. I just imagined being one of the guys, thinking, “Yeah, baby, I look gooood, don’t I? Just gettin’ in the flow of the music, aww, yeah … hey, wait. I’M WEARING AN IDIOTIC MASK! It’s IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK GOOD! KILL ME NOW, OR AT LEAST PERMANENTLY AFFIX THE MASK TO MY FACE SO NO ONE WILL EVER RECOGNIZE ME AGAIN! AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!”
Didn’t watch the show, but I read about it a few weeks ago. Apparently, the masks are designed not just to cover the features, but to disguise them, so that all the contestants end up looking exactly alike. For instance, they created each one with the same amount of room for the jawline, and then padded each one accordingly to create a consistent shape. So the way they look with the mask is no indicator of what they look like without it.
Now, about this guy who took off a mask for the promo. Have they shown the contestants at all without the masks (either in a promo or on the show)?
I don’t know what they actually wore on the show, but this is like the mask I saw in the TV Guide http://www.fox.com/mrpersonality/ (skip the intro). You can see their eyes, mouths and chin! I think I would have a pretty good idea of what they looked like without them.
Lola, the one in the promo isn’t the one they’re using in the show.

My underlings know all about my “reality”-TV habit, and would be profoundly disappointed if I hadn’t watched it. They’re aware that I watch this crap for its mindless entertainment value. They tease me about it (as do my bf, my family, and just about everyone who knows me), but no one has seen any reason to doubt my intelligence because I find this stuff amusing.
I didn’t really think any of the guys were butt ugly. There was the lawyer who really just needed a good haircut and the bald guy, but that doesn’t make them ugly. I thought most of the other men looked almost alike.
The ugliest guy was the one that got all pissed off at her, when she didn’t pick him to stay. What an ass !
I did watch (although I know it’ll be my last viewing), and I did notice that the “ugly” guy in the commercials was nowhere to be found. There was one guy with a sad Peter Tork hairdo and crossed eyes, but everyone else was either average or somewhat-better-than. The ugliest guys was the dork that threw a tantrum when he got dumped. Now that was entertainment!
