True Beauty

 

by Danae Young

 

This week on the premiere episode of True Beauty, ten contestants compete in what they think is a spot to be the “face of Vegas.”

 

Contestants:
1. Regina – Teen Pageant Queen; Has a hint of stripper.
2. Michael – Actor/Model; Wannabe rapper.
3. Liz – Model; Claims to be blessed for her beauty.
4. Taylor – Former Professional Athlete; In Vegas to sin.
5. Erika – Singer/Cocktail Waitress; No plastic surgery…on her face.
6. JD – Real Estate Agent; “Mr. Fantastic.”
7. Michelle – Dancer; Black girl trapped in a white girl’s body.
8. David – DJ/Astrologer; Has hair that is a lethal weapon.
9. Amy – Bartender; Scared of aging.
10. Craig – Retail Manager; Thinks they saved the best for last.

 

The contestants are staying in the Planet Hollywood suite. Once they got to their incredible room, instead of being thankful, they automatically began fighting over the beds like children, especially Liz.

 

Trash talking began immediately. Little do they know that there are hidden cameras in their entire suite allowing the judges to follow their every move.

 

Carson, one of the judges, went to the suite the next morning to announce their first challenge. Each contestant went to a shop where they had 20 minutes and $200 to pick out a look that represents their Las Vegas alter-ego. They met a stylist, Paige, at the shop to help them with their outfits.

 

Paige is actually a hired actress who pretends to be a stylist for each contestant. She has to try and convince each contestant to steal something from the shop. If the contestant decides not to steal, they pass, however, if they choose to give in to peer pressure, they fail.

 

Michelle – Pin-Up Girl – PASS.
Amy – Bride – PASS.
Craig – Cowboy – FAIL. Craig couldn’t afford his vest in his budget but he chose to steal it with the help of Paige.
Taylor – Rock Star – PASS.
Regina – Lady Luck – PASS.
Erika – Marilyn Monroe – PASS.
Michael – Pimp – FAIL. Michael wanted a certain shirt and decided to throw it in his bag after Paige suggested it.
David – Celebrity Impersonator – PASS.
JD – Drag Queen – FAIL. JD wanted a bracelet that matched his outfit nicely and let Paige put it in his bag without paying.
Liz – Showgirl – FAIL. The outfit Liz wanted was way over budget, but when Paige suggested stealing it she automatically went for it.

 

Each contestant got dressed in their outfits and went down to Las Vegas Boulevard where they got into clear glass cases. People on the street walking by were given one token to place in the case of their choice.

 

Liz had the highest amount of votes with the help of her stolen outfit. David and JD were the two with the lowest scores, which meant they were up for elimination.

 

It turns out there was another test right as the contestants were entering the shop earlier that day. There was a woman standing out front on her cell phone trying to get her dog’s leash untangled. If the contestant stopped to help the woman, they passed. However, if they didn’t stop to help, they failed.

 

JD passed with flying colors, but David failed after nearly pushing the woman over so he could get in the door.

 

It was somewhat of a shock after David was announced safe, which meant JD had to go home. Before he was sent home, however, the judges revealed to JD that this competition is also about inner beauty.
