Were you in love with her, Beast? Did you honestly think she'd want you when she had someone like me?

Beauty & The Beast: Ugly Face of Prejudice

If you haven't seen this TV show, then I recommend it highly. The basic premise is there are two people that are put together to try and show the other what their life is like. One is vain and what they would consider 'normal' and the other has suffered from a deformity or gone through a traumatic experience which has affected their appearance. There has been two episodes so far and the latest one which was shown on Wednesday was very controversial. Susan had cancer when she was a child and has had over 60 corrective surgeries whereas Sarah aged 50 has had many cosmetic procedures to get her looking like she is in her twenties. An argument ensued with the two ladies when narcissistic Sarah said that Susan didn't understand her. To me Sarah just came across as one sided, she loves herself so much that she would do anything to keep having plastic surgery and never get old. Why can't people just be happy with the way they look? She wanted Susan to do a photo shoot with her and Susan obliged however whenever Susan wanted to talk to her about how he feels it always seemed like Sarah wasn't listening. This show definitely opens your eyes to what other people have to go through yet can still be positive about themselves and their image. I can understand if you don't like the way you look then there are options to change it  but to be honest I think people should explore other options and surgery should be a very last resort.

Beauty & The Beast: Ugly Face of Prejudice is on Channel 4, Wednesdays at 8pm
