Where Are 'The Swan' Contestants 20 Years Later?

"The Swan" was a controversial reality show that swept the nation. Women went under the knife for dramatic transformations from "ugly ducklings," which is the phrase the show used, to beautiful swans. After the dramatic transformations, the women went head to head against each other in a beauty pageant. Twenty years later, Inside Edition is reuniting some of "The Swan" contestants. All the women Inside Edition spoke to at the 20th reunion say they are glad that they participated.

I would like to see a show like this but with men.

The best one was the swan that cried and said she wanted her old face back

Their kids probably look like their befores 😂… then the cycle begins again

I just watched a documentary on this. There is a lot more to this. some of the women were in agony, and had complications from the surgeries years later that cost thousands.

They all look great. 40 is still young through.

That's so crazy because last week we were talking about that show. I said that I wanted to be a contestant. 🤣

[nitab]

I use to love that show. It’s crazy because at the time I was a teenager and didn’t view anything they said or did as wrong or offensive. It’s crazy to look back and think this was okay.

People have to be offended for them…. That’s society today.
They were happy to get the surgeries, let them be happy and stop being offended for others.

Pink jacket and blue top, I'm SINGLE! 🤣

This show was absolutely disgusting. Praying on women’s insecurities and putting out the message that you need to alter your body to conform to an ideal of beauty.

[JoyP-rwbc]

I'm glad they're happy and I'm happy that we got to see some of these people cause I watched this show .

Then they had kids and their kids wondered why they didn't look nothing like their moms

[bammi]

I was just wondering about them the other day! Very interesting. 😊

The Documentary is on the VICE channel here on YouTube.

[MistyLarasati]

they look better than the current generation’s filler addicted instapeople

[freudianslip]

What I find hilarious is that every woman divorced or broke up with their husbands or boyfriend.

As soon as women think they can upgrade partners, they dumped their loyal partners.

[bryang]

The Show was awesome to watch and the hit one here was the hit one then too. ❤🎉❤

[khatzeye]

I actually like this show. They all still look beautiful.

[JohnDinglasaJr]

I remember watching The Swan way back in elementary school

[lauriefaithprescott]
