Every season or so, television manages to cough up something that qualifies as the Weorst Thing Ever, until it’s surpassed the following year. Thus we progress from A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila (yeah, that was pretty bad) to The Jersey Shore (equally disgusting, but in different directions) to… Bridalplasty, which is some vile hybrid spawn of The Bachelorette and Human Centipede, courtesy of the classy gang at E! Television. We’ll just quote this directly from the article, because there are some things my fingers would never forgive me for making them type:

Each week, a group of women competes head-to-head in such challenges as writing wedding vows and planning honeymoons. The winner receives the chance to choose a plastic surgery procedure from her “wish list.” She’s given the procedure immediately, and results are shown at the start of the following week’s episode…. The last bride standing will receive a “dream wedding,” where she will reveal her new appearance to friends, family and the groom. “Viewers will witness his emotional and possibly shocked reaction as they stand at the altar and he lifts her veil to see her for the first time following her extreme plastic surgery,” E! said.

It would be easy to write a long, long post on the wrongness of this premise, but its awfulness is so blazingly obvious that such a post would be utterly redundant. Suffice it to say that following an episode of Bridalplasty with a couple of eps from The Jersey Shore would feel positively soul cleansing. I predict this show will offend and disgust so many viewers that it won’t last more than four or five seasons, tops.
