Yes, this is what I'm unsettled with. The only difference between her and the usual plastic product of these shows is that they've gone for the angle of "hey, let's promote the ugly duckling!" instead of the usual pretty boy/girl that ends up winning. And worse, they show their contempt for her in the process of creating that "product".
