  • The Swan is an American reality television series broadcast by the Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox). The show premiered on April 7, 2004, while its eighteenth and final episode aired on December 20, 2004. Each episode of the series followed two self-proclaimed "ugly ducklings" who, over the course of a three-month period, experienced an extreme makeover from a team that included a personal trainer, therapist, dentist, and cosmetic surgeons. Whichever woman was deemed more attractive at the end of the three months would move forward to compete in a beauty pageant held at the end of the season. Following the pageant, whichever contestant received the most votes for the greatest transformation would be given the title "The Swan". The series was hosted by Irish television presenter Amanda Byram. The Swan was universally panned by critics and audiences alike. Criticism of the series often focused on the promotion of a negative body image for women. Despite the negative reception, The Swan premiered to high ratings and averaged around 9 million viewers over the course of its first season. Since its airing, several of the contestants have voiced either satisfaction or regret over their participation in the series. Additionally, several producers have defended The Swan, in which they claimed its purpose was to increase the self-esteem of its contestants. In 2013, Fox announced plans to revive the series as a two-hour television special titled Celebrity Swan. (en)
  • 《天鹅选美》(The Swan)是美国福克斯电视台在2004年推出的一个整容真人秀的电视节目。 电视节目为期12周,跟踪16位参赛者,并聘请整容外科医生、牙科医生、形象设计师和心理辅导师等专家,为参赛者一对一的设计包装。每周有1位参赛者被淘汰。而且参赛者在整个过程中不允许照镜子。最后选出获胜者,获得“天鹅”荣誉。 虽然这个节目非常成功,但是也带来很大争议。网友评论这是“女权主义运动100年最大的退步”。美国女行问题专家Susan Bordo质疑“这究竟是自己把握命运还是由别人操作命运?‘天鹅’能飞多远,取决于他们与新的外在究竟相处如何?”而许多美国人也认为全面整容与其说是自我重生,不如说是自我毁灭。而美容业也对节目的整容手术持保留意见,认为这给观众造成错觉,以为整容没有风险,可以随心所欲。 制片人则认为参加节目的人都有所得,“从第一天起,你就能带着价值25万美元的服务离开。为此当然要付出代价”。而且他说,这个节目是对传统选美的颠覆,在这个节目里“你看到的是和自己一样不完美的人。” (zh)
