VH1 to create Ugly Betty reality show

[Brian Damage]

As if to completely distance themselves from their former "Music First" ideology and forget about music-related programming forever, VH1 has another reality show in the works. It is called America The Ugly, inspired by ABC's Ugly Betty, and will attempt to find out what happens when real unattractive, unstylish women try to make it in the fashion and modeling world. As if that experience alone wouldn't be soul-crushing enough, VH1 has thrown in a real-life Wilhelmina, The Agency's Becky Southwick, to guarantee maximum bitchiness.
Let's play a little game, shall we? Considering the typical reality show happenings and the general message of Ugly Betty, I'm going to predict will happen in America The Ugly. Feel free to share your own predictions in the comments. Okay...The unattractive women will initially break down from both the pressure of having to work in a fast-paced, ruthless industry and living among size nothing runway skeletons, but will slowly discover their inner strength and, after going through a minor make-over that cleans up their look without compromising their true selves, realize that the fashion and/or modeling world is about more than just beauty, but true hard work. All-around cheesiness ensues.
