Advantages: Gok Wan is kinda hot.
Disadvantages: Everything else.
I was watching the 100 most annoying tv shows last night and How to look good naked was mentioned, it got me a-thinkin'. I've come to the conclusion that this show is the last thing the "average" British woman needs to watch and heres why...
So the idea of the show is that Gok (bit of a hottie) Wan picks a woman with body issues to try and coax her into loving herself for who she is without mentioning those dirty words "diet and exercise" It's a whole big process which involves him taking her to a big city and putting her semi-naked body on a billboard and letting people comment on it...suspicions tell me that this bit is highly edited I'm quite sure a lot of people would be saying "she has nice nails but she is really fat"
Secondly he takes the woman shopping showing her better clothes to wear as it just so happens that a lot of these women do start out having no clue how to dress for their shape so theres half the battle won in a single shoppping trip, except the only catch is that all the clothes they try on, Gok makes them squeeze into super-restricting underwear such as spanx and then tells them how great they look. Not to mention their "super hooters and massive bangers"
So whats the problem I hear you ask? the problem is that the show is called "How to look good naked" and thats slightly misleading as for most of the show Gok is telling us all we should not embrace the curves but in fact hide them in magical underwear and I personally think this is a very dangerous way to look at the female form, the fact is that being overweight is bad for you yet he ignores that, surely some mention of diet and exercise would be good? the women feel more motivated after the shopping so why not help them all they way? instead of telling them how big and great their boobs are but ignoring their massive beer gut swingling freely underneath????
I just find this show unfair, I feel of all the messages we are told as women are confusing enough so then to say no it's fine to be overweight just as long as you shove yourself into some spanx everytime you leave the house, it's just not on.
My other bug bear is the fact that at the end they don't even get naked , they are most likely to do some parading around in pricey underwear which again can often hide a multitude of sins too!
Overall: This show, in my opinion is worthless, it makes great car crash tv but I wouldn't say take it seriously, I think it is hitting the other extreme to size 0. It's not ok to be size 0 and it's not ok to be overweight either ,both situations are as bad as each other so sort yourself out britain and get your wobbly bums down to the gym!!!
Summary: This show sends out bad messages, give it a miss.

- 14/01/09 Yes! Someone really needed to say it. This show's part of the problem of making being overweight socially acceptable. Also thought your review was very funny :D |
