Bride wannabes, and Supersize vs Superskinny II

The UK television program probably wins in terms of actually making people happier.

Getting the much needed love - for the lady

It is really not that difficult to get love - especially for the ladies, given the correct mentality. It is never the face or body shape that is precluding a woman from a successful relationship[1]. It might as well hinder a bit in terms of establishing a relationship in the beginning, but past the first few months, the face is not going to mean much.

The face ages, the body shape sags, but the mind evolves.

In Bride Wannabes, they are giving the ladies chances in changing themselves - mostly aesthetic, sometimes behavioral, but almost never mental - You see them having their hair dyed, face covered with makeups, eyelashes lengthened to exponential scales and different clothes to package them into nice-looking ladies. You also see courses given to them in terms of how to seduce people, and how to begin a relationship.

But then this is not the point - what they need is to change their mind[2]. The most important thing that they can learn is to extend their social circle. It is really not that hard - know the friends of your friends, and you are already exponentially enlarging your social circle.

Contrasting it with the UK program, in which the chief reason for their problem (eating habit) is being treated - which program is doing good for the ladies?
 
[1] The same is true for the gentleman. 
[2] There are quite some discussions on how these girls are paid actress, but anyways, it doesn't matter - what we're discussing on is the mindset / philosophy behind the show.
