Zoom In – Ashley Michaelson from True Beauty

ashley-michaelson-lThe thing about Reality Shows is that you don´t know any of the participants until at least half of it. Unlike a movie or a TV Show, where the stars are the ones who compell you to watch it.

ABC has just released Season One Premiere of True Beauty, a search for the most gorgeous of them all…

It involves ten people, six gals and four guys.

Let´s start with Ashley Michaelson, according to the show´s homepage:

Age: 21
Occupation: Designer’s Assistant
Hometown: Rochester, NY

Ashley Michaelson lives the life of a budding socialite, complete with a pet Chihuahua and $4,500 dresses. While Ashley was captain of both the soccer team and the cheerleading squad in high school, she says she had a hard time socially. She believes the other girls envied her for her beauty. But since high school, being beautiful has made life very easy for Ashley. She is prepared for any question thrown at her, most likely due to her pageant background (Ashley was runner up in the Miss Teen NY pageant). Ashley admits that her true intentions are often hidden by her sweet smile. People may think she is a “spoiled brat” but Ashley claims that only “half of that” is true. Despite her appearance, Ashley says she only goes to the gym 5 times a year.

True Beauty – New Reality Show by ABC – Executive Producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher

true-beautyBoth Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks are considered beautiful. True. Anyone who´s seen any Tyra Banks in bikini photo would agree; anyone who´s check out That´s 70´s Show and Punk´d star would too…

So, they join forces in new Reality TV Show by ABC True Beauty.

It´s a mix between America´s Next Top Model and Big Brother. The series will determine the True Beauty of six stunning females and four handsome males who will live together in a spectacular Los Angeles mansion as they undergo a series of challenges to determine who is truly the most beautiful, explains ABC.com.

What´s the catch?

Each episode will showcase an outer beauty and an inner beauty challenge, during which contestants will be judged on everything from how well they perform in photo shoots to how well they respect their elders. The three judges will observe and critique the contestants’ behavior and eliminate one person each week. Only after someone is eliminated will the truth about the show be revealed to him/her, as they watch a video montage of their behavior captured by a hidden camera during the shoot.

The prize?

After nine weeks, the winner takes money in cash… but that´s not really the important part… The winner also gets a spot in PEOPLE magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.

Let the challenge begin.
