This show is not very body positive and it is clear many of the contestants are very self conscious of their bodies. It concerns me many are making themselves much skinnier then what they are normally and that this is being touted as “the whole package” by Judges who don’t know the damage they are doing in saying that because they can’t see the real person behind the screen.
Creating an alter ego is a very emotional process for many and I think it requires mentors and therapists walking along side these people so they can create healthier representations of themselves and come to know how beautiful they are in their own skin.
