[Disclaimer: my girlfriend thought of this while watching some TV competition for hairdressers. So I can't really take credit for it. But it seems like it ought to be posted here ...]
Starting with a field of 10 plastic surgeons, each gives a different procedure to a different "model" each week.
Judges then decide on who has done the worst job, and votes them off the competition.
nothing would surprise me. must be better viewing than Trinny & Susannah though.

Brilliant! Although shouldn't they be aspiring plastic surgeons, with the winner getting an office in L.A. or the Hamptons? [+] |

With regards to your link [po], I think it's absolutely fucking shameful to have what amounts to a popularity contest over which contestant gets to live. |

Edit: Ah Tom, once again you've made a fool of me with your factual accuracy. |

The only problem that I can see with this is that I'm not sure that an average person can really tell the difference between a good surgery and an average one. Of course botched ones are noticeable, but I doubt that unskilled people can really judge one brow lift against another. |
|

That said, I'm all for it so long as some of the surgeons are taken from the mediocre to sub par levels of the profession. If this can make people aware of the risks of unnecessary surgery, then all the better. |
