True Beauty, Season 1

Description
From executive producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, this new series determines the True Beauty of six stunning females and four handsome males who live together in a spectacular Los Angeles mansion as they undergo a series of challenges to determine who is truly the most beautiful. The gorgeous contestants assume they're being judged solely on their outer appearance. Physical beauty is one component the judges are looking for, but the contestants are also being evaluated — unknown to them — for their inner beauty, and are put in situations requiring them to make moral decisions. Each episode showcases an outer and inner beauty challenge, and the contestants will be judged on everything from how well they perform in photo shoots to how well they respect their elders. The three judges — Vanessa Minnillo, Cheryl Tiegs, and Nolé Marin — will observe and critique the contestants' behavior and eliminate one person each week. Only after elimination is the truth about the show revealed.

Bland judges hold this show back
This show has a great deal of potential because the cast is entertaining, the editing is good, and it puts a fresh twist into a proven reality TV plot. The problem is that the judges, Nolé Marin, Cheryl Tiegs, and Vanessa Minnillo, lack a collective personality: When someone gets kicked off a reality TV show, especially one that disqualifies people for being shallow, egotistical know-it-alls, the judges need to have stronger personalities than the contestants. Similar to Hannah Montana filling in for Judge Judy, Marin, Tiegs, and Minnillo are overpowered by the contestants and are an annoying interruption more than a key component of the show. Luckily, there is enough good about the show to scratch the "America's Next Top Model" offseason itch.
Interesting concept
Like many reality shows, you get to see how people behave when they think no one is watching, (also known as character). In the first episode it becomes rather clear which contestants have the internal beauty difficulties. What surprised me was how few of these contestants are all that stunning to look at, yet how confident they are about their own looks. The first elimination was an obvious choice, but I'm not sure for how many seasons the producers can sustain this concept.
GREAT!
like all shows, sometimes the story line and the catty action in the house gets a little annoying, but this show has a way of making everything interesting. The fact that the show focuses on inner beauty sets it apart from all the other reality show out there. It's also a real eye open. It's forced me to take deeper look into my own behavior and i found out it needs a few adjustments. I would recommend it to EVERYONE!
