Extreme Makeover Survivor   (+1)  [vote for, against]
Give a bunch of ugly people extreme makeovers and stick them on an island together

A group of unattractive people are made super-hot through the magic of the extreme makeover. Then they are stuck together in some godforsaken hellhole, such as Illinois or Belgium. Next, a Survivor-like competition ensues. When one is voted off, a surgical team restores them to their former ugliness. The winner gets to retain their new beauty.

I was gonna give you a bun, but I live in Illinois, and it's not a godforsaken hellhole.

Cruel, but no more than usual.

Well, participation would be voluntary, obviously.

One goes swimming through the gunk pond, the new nose falls off. When a crocodile bites one, a left breast bursts and flattens.As another one flies through the air on a vine rope the newly emplanted hair flies into the air and keeps on flying. That is one rts I would actually ...no, probably still wouldn't watch it.

<but I live in Illinois, and it's not a godforsaken hellhole.> I merely meant in comparison with just about anywhere else. That's all.

...And that means good television! Let's combine McGyver and Elimidate while we're at it. You got my vote.

McGyver and the A team imagine what they would make from the contents of one barn.

as for the actual idea it would suck and spawn the even more suck worthy celebrity special version.
