"Bridalplasty" Combines Plastic Surgery and Dream Wedding Competition

So we've been hearing lots about this show and decided it was finally time to do a blog post. While we try to stay pretty impartial to all types of weddings -- and desires for those weddings -- this one is a little bit harder.

"Bridalplasty," a new show set to premiere on E!, will pit brides-to-be against one another in various wedding related competitions where the prize is extreme plastic surgery. One by one the brides will be voted off by their competitors and, according to the show's description, "possibly [walk] away with nothing and [lose their] chance to be the perfect bride," reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Hollywood plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow (from Fox's "The Swan") will lend his expert advice to the show and celebrity bride Shanna Moakler (who's wedding to Blink 182's Travis Barker was filmed for TV, though the two have since divorced) will host.

The winner gets her "dream wedding" and "viewers will witness his emotional and possibly shocked reaction as they stand at the altar and [the groom] lifts her veil to see her for the first time following her extreme plastic surgery," says E! according to the Huffington Post. It's the first show where people will actually have to compete for plastic surgery (whereas other reality shows have simply followed people as they had plastic surgery).

Doctors and specialists from around the country are already denouncing the show and questioning the ethical implications it could have. But we want to hear from you -- sure it's easy to bash a show like this, but could you ever see yourself competing? Or can you think of any friends who would want something like this? Weigh in below!
