What Not To Wear
The premise of the show is intriguing, but it isn’t as entertaining as it appears. Each contestant will receive $5,000 in order to update their wardrobe and get a makeover. However, there are some restrictions: the producers must donate all of the participants’ clothes to charity. Furthermore, participants must pay tax on everything they purchase. Finally, the contestants’ clothing is all custom-made to fit them perfectly, which is another cost that the show does not cover.

Pimp My Ride
MTV’s reality show Pimp My Ride was one of the most popular at the time. Rapper Xzibit would show up at people’s houses and completely transform their old cars. The car makeovers were only for the cameras and were entirely cosmetic. Someone on the show mentioned that when they got their car back, it was barely running. Furthermore, these vehicles could take up to six months to repair.
