Personal makeovers

Just been watching an episode of Ricky Lake. It's so lame. But I was channel surfing and it just happened to be on.
To cut the story short, a guy was on the stage being hated on by the audience and Ricky for dumping his girlfriend because she looked bland and unattractive. Because of his actions, he was shallow and uncaring.
"It's what's on the inside that counts!" says Ricky, and the crowd cheer because they're mostly fat as well. Then they boo when the guy says "Yeah but she didn't do her hair and wore baggy clothes all time!"
So they give the bland unattractive woman a makeover and make her 'hot', and I use the term loosly. They give her a new wardrobe with sexy clothes, do her makeup, make her hair good, teach her how to strut etc. Then they wheel her out in front of the guy and Ricky goes: "I bet you wish you'd not dumped her now!" and the crowd cheers and the fat thing they dressed up smiles and looks like well dressed fat.

Do they not realise that they just proved the guy right?
By making her look better they prove that looks are important. He wouldn't have dumped her if she looked like she did after the makeover.
The guy should have stood and thanked Ricky for proving him right; that being unattractive gets you dumped, and being made to look good gets you a man.
