Summer: when the reality TV freak flag starts flying with conviction. The CW’ s adding a new series to this summer’s pile called Plain Jane , a makeover show for “plain” women who want to impress a secret crush. After the contestant is gussied up by British fashion expert Louise Roe (pictured), she’s shuttled off for a first date with said crush thanks to producers who clue him in with hints like, “Look wowed when she comes out with eye shadow and an Anthropologie dress. Find a way to say ‘Anthropologie’ out loud too. Into the camera.” Is this the most condescending makeover show yet? And should we be surprised considering the credits of the show’s producers?
