i was very very disappointed in plum...i was gonna be happy for her if she was gonna go through with everything but she was sooo bad to her friends..it made me sooooooooooooooooooo mad!
NiCk JoNaS~* email me!! [email protected]!! <--sorry just had to put that!!
i know, she was reallyyyy obnoxious.
she was uncooperative, immature and rude and was saying that she was so much deeper than the show when really all that the show and her friends were doing was trying to help her move on from a look that was definitely holding her back
It really was holding her back. I can't believe she would be so selfish and reject her FRIEND who was standing there CRYING.
They never wanted to change HER. They just wanted to fix her wardrobe and let her stylish side out too. Ugh. What a jerk.
She reminds me of those stupid try-hards who complain about "society trying to change them". She was such a bitch, and at least her friends now her true colors. I felt so bad for them, the stylist, Finola, etc.
shareI was just about to post a thread about this!
I actually really like this show, along with What Not to Wear. Out of the shows I've ever watched on TV, she was one of the most obnoxious people I've ever seen. She constantly contradicted herself, was selfish, EXTREMELY immature for a 31 year old, narrow-minded, and self-absorbed. I felt TERRIBLE for her friend who was left crying at the end of the show! Plum nominated HERSELF, which means she's probably seen this show (or at the least What Not To Wear), and she should have known what would happen. So why the hayll is she whining about "everything's going too fast, this needs to be a gradual change, blah blah blah" then being uncooperative/unwilling to change? Again, she nominated herself, so she should have known what would happen.
I was amazed at how controlled Finola was. I loved what she and the stylist (I forget his name, James?) said to her- ESPECIALLY when the stylist blew up at her, Plum, at the end of the show for being, in a nutshell, a selfish b***h who doesn't give a crap about her friends. I mean, come on! Who is she to blame the SHOW on ripping apart her friendship? Did the producers write the break up letters? I don't think so. It was Plum's choice, so she has no business blaming the show on ruining her life or whatever crap she can come up with.
Grr! She just made me so ANGRY, and I'm sad for her friends, the stylist, and all that money wasted on the ingrate.
It's over now, the music of the night..

I agree with you completely xoAngelRomanovxo. I don't like this show because it re-enforces the stereotype of people only liking you for how you look. It tears people apart just because of what they wear - it is so superficial and false.
However Plum did agree to go on the show - I'm sure she had watched it beforehand or at least had an idea of what would happen when she knew it was a makeover show. I felt sorry for her at first because they ripped her to shreds. It was all "You're a great person but no-one sees that becasue they judge you on how you dress and it's right for them to do that" No we don't want any individuals here, lets all be clones and wear the same thing. But then she behaved appallingly towards her friends at the end of the show. I don't care that she wanted to sell the clothes but ending friendships when you gave them free rein to make you over and didn't like the result is childish and selfish.
I think Plum knew EXACTLY what she was getting herself in for and used the air time to be a drama queen. I think it's funny her friends were trying to help her get outfits that would be suitable work attire. If I were an employer and saw that program, no way would I hire her. Also, if I were a prospective date, no way would I even approach her. She just shot herself in the foot. If clothes weren't important to her than what difference did it make what she was wearing? I know people like her and they are extremely boring and they never change -- so much for evolving. She was the subject of the make over, but it really wasn't all about her. She was right about one thing -- she REALLY needs to work on her "inner beauty". Seems like she's gotten comfortable with being a victim and that's all she knows how to be. I don't know why those two women were her friends. Fiona had troubel talking to her for one episode.
I would hope that Plum at least saw the program and saw how abrasive she was, but she's probably "way too cool" to watch a program she ASKED to be on. Oh, well. Fiona said it best - you win some, you lose some.

just saw this on a rerun.. it was this or crap tv.. and i just KNEW people where going to slam plum.
in anycase.. i was so happy to see plum stand up for herself.. if your friends cant accept you for what you are.. then they are not true friends.
as for plum seeing the show.. thats fine.. its very different to be there,, trying to be something your not.. and she simply refused to be a fake just to make TV land happy. .. and THAT..is AWSOME!
There's a difference between accepting someone for who they are, and wanting more for them, when you know they're not living to their potential. Plum's friends had grown up: she hadn't. She clearly had some issues with her past. Her fashion was a way to mask her insecurities, and her friends recognized this. Perhaps this was a superficial way to do it; however, it was her decision to be on this show, and you don't just dump your friends that you've known for so many years over one show: that's immature. Plum is the one at a loss here: she not only lost her friends, but left a negative, lasting memory of herself for viewers as well. Why would a 31-year-old want to be remembered as someone who acted like a 14-year-old? That's not "awesome", but foolish.
That said, Plum has some scars that need healing, and I hope she'll be open to inner changes sooner rather than later.
i'm dying to see this plum episode to see if she is as awful as everyone has said. it sounds like quite an episode
