0:00:04 > 0:00:05Fakers beware!
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm Ellie Taylor. Snog Marry Avoid is back on the road.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09You have been warned!
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Don't look now, but I think you've got a couple of bald men in a headlock!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Oi, you, orange-faced streaky one!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Beware, because POD has your fakery in her lens!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Makeunder machine POD is on the prowl...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26And she's ready to bite!
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Do you like wearing a dead badger around your neck?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33From Birmingham to Cardiff, South East London to Essex,
0:00:33 > 0:00:37POD will be taking Britain's biggest fakers to task.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39POD computes that your blinging is minging!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Aw, that's tight.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Families across Britain have had enough of the fakery
0:00:44 > 0:00:46that's stolen their sons and their daughters,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48their brothers and their sisters.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Down with fakery! Down with fakery!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55We haven't brought her up to look like this.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Let the battle on fakery commence!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Welcome back to Snog Marry Avoid.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15This week we're in the home of the Millennium Stadium...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Millennium Centre...
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and what feels like 1,000 years of fakery.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Be afraid, boys and girls. POD is on full fake alert,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and she's coming to get you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Welcome to Cardiff!
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Hi, POD.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Come in, Ellie.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hello, Ellie. Where are we this week?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We're in the wonderful land of Cardiff.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Oh yes, Cardiff.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44My programme shows Wales as the land of rolling hills and deep valleys.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, POD, I'm not going to lie.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I've seen my fair share of valleys already today.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Most of them very orange as well, actually.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Orange? As in fake?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I think there is a little bit of fakery around.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57How much fakery are we talking?!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59OK, loads. I blame Gavin Henson.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Well, I've only got one thing to say to that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03"Get out there and find Gavin Henson?"
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- No, Ellie, get out there and get rid of the fakery!- OK. I'll have a crack.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Coming up on tonight's show, we meet a charity shop queen
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and her two fake friends...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15The bigger the eyebrows, the more confident I feel.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17They have got to go!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I'll be investigating why Cardiff's going crazy for disco pants...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23What do you like about the trousers?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They're tight!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And POD has a jolly with a dolly.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30All you need now is a tea set
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and we'll have a nice little tea party.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That would be lovely.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Cardiff babes love a good night out.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- But just how high are they prepared to go on the fake-o-meter?- Hi, POD!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- How would you describe a Cardiff girl?- Oh!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51In Cardiff you see more fake tan than anywhere else.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Hold your hands up for me.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Turn them around.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Classy!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- False eyelashes.- Bigger eyebrows.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Fake hair.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04We love roots.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Why are your fringes trying to touch each other?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Do you fake it up?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Definitely! Fake and tacky all the way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Dwi'n cariad Caerdydd, dwi'n cariad fakery!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I saw an old man wearing jeggings the other day.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It was disturbing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Now for Jasmine, who lives by three principles...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Faith, hope, and above all charity!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Hey, I'm Jasmine, and I'm from Newport,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34and I'm the queen of the charity shops.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I would describe my style as crazy...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42These are looking pretty good now.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43..vintage...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44I really like it.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46..completely over the top.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and majorly colourful.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Bargain-hunting is literally my life.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I always seem to attract the weird men.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57She dresses like my grandma would dress up.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Nice vintage.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ever since I can remember, I've wanted to be different.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I would describe Jasmine as a punk rock parrot.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Jasmine's style has a lot to do with being a triplet and standing out.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Josh and Jo, my brothers, do look quite like twins.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I was always the other one.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I work in a little pub in Caerleon,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25and I love it. Not sure what they think of my look.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think Jasmine's eyebrows are a bit crazy, really.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33They have got to go.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36They are like two slugs about to fight each other.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I think the bigger the eyebrows, the more confident I feel,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42especially when I go out.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44If I'm going to a mad rave or something,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48they tend to sweat off my face, so I do have to top them up sometimes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54POD, please get rid of this crazy make up and these eyebrows.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58So, POD, this is my challenge to you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Bring back my little daughter
0:05:00 > 0:05:03or it'll be the worse for you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm here to meet Jasmine at this charity shop.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08But it looks like she's just having a wander round,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10trying to get some vintage bits first.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I don't know about vintage,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I feel bloomin' ancient just looking at her.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Jasmine, you look like you're playing that game where
0:05:16 > 0:05:19you have to put on as many clothes as you can in a minute.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I don't think I look like I'm playing a game.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- There's a lot of... There is a lot of everything.- I love it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think the more, the better.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29We haven't even started on the eyebrows yet,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33but they are... They are... They are...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35on your face, a lot of your face.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I still love it. It's going to be hard to part with my look.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Why are you here, then, woman? - Because I want to get a boyfriend.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46"I love it, I love it! But I want a man."
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I need to tone down a bit.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Jasmine, I've got a quiz for you to work out
0:05:50 > 0:05:53if you're really ready to leave your charity shop ways behind you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Do you prefer the smell of fabric conditioner
0:05:57 > 0:05:58or the lingering scent of mothballs?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Fabric conditioner.- Do you?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03A little bit mothy.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Do you prefer a brand-new jumper
0:06:06 > 0:06:09or a slightly misshapen pullover?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I reckon a misshapen pullover. It's got a story behind it.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14If someone gave you a brand new pair of Louboutins
0:06:14 > 0:06:16or an old pair of shoes they found in a charity shop,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- and you could only have one, what would you pick?- Louboutins.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yeah, I like it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25From this quiz, Jasmine, I think you are a charity shop girl,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29but there's hints of someone inside who wants nice, new things.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Come with me, young woman, and I will take you to POD.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I think you're winning me over!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Good luck, have fun, enjoy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Let me in, POD!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Who are you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Hi, POD, I'm Jasmine.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Eyebrow alert, eyebrow alert!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59POD computes they're the largest eyebrows I have ever seen.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02They're amazing. What do you mean?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- They're amazingly ridiculous.- No!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07POD computes you look like a pantomime dame.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10No, I don't! I look amazing and colourful.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14To get ready, do you cover yourself in glue and roll around in bins?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17What do you...? No, that's just ridiculous!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Why do you want to make yourself look like you've had a fight
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- in a charity shop? - Oh, come on, that was horrible.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24What's wrong with charity shops?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26They sell dead people's clothes.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, my God, that was so harsh.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Why do you want to stand out so much?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Because I'm a triplet and I have two brothers,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and they are always stealing my limelight.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I just looked like the odd one out and it wasn't very fair.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41You definitely look a bit odd now.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45And it's not very fair on us. Let's run public analysis.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I asked the general public if they wanted to snog, marry or avoid
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- this girl. What do you think they said?- Snog?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I would avoid her because her make up makes her look like a drag queen.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00A drag queen! Really?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I would avoid her because her make up makes her look like a clown.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Thanks.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I would avoid her because
0:08:06 > 0:08:08she's trying way too hard to stand out,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and I'm not a fan of her caterpillar eyebrows.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Caterpillars!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15In fact, 100% of the public wanted to avoid you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Are you serious, POD?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20POD contributes that you are a confectionery eyebrow
0:08:20 > 0:08:21charity shop calamity,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and you need my eyebrow madness
0:08:23 > 0:08:27to natural beauty gladness makeunder.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Are you ready for the next stage of the makeunder process?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Come at me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It might take a while, but it's time for your deep cleanse.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Take off all of your accessories.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Now take our make up removal pads
0:08:43 > 0:08:45and remove all of your make up.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52How many wipes do you have there?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Um... One, two, three, four, five.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Jasmine, that is an all-time POD record.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06It's time to run the makeunder in three, two, one...
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Oh, my God!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Is that actually me?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22That is actually you.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oh, my God, I look really nice.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26How do you feel?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Really natural but not plain.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I feel nice. I love this shirt.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35How does it feel to think that you've got normal eyebrows?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's really strange.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I feel like I've got a forehead.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42But I still think I could do with a bit more colour.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Colour is fine as long as you don't go over the top.- OK, POD.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Do you understand me, Jasmine?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49I understand.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Earlier on, 100% of the public wanted to avoid you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53How did that feel?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It was horrible. It's not very nice.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- And what do you think they said now? - Marry.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I would snog her because her outfit looks great
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- and she's got nice legs.- Woo!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I would snog her.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- She has a pretty face. - Aaw!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I would definitely marry.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- She looks sweet, natural, and she's a good-looking girl.- Yay!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Jasmine, you have gone from 100% avoid to 100% snog or marry.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Yay.- You ARE a beautiful girl, aren't you?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Thanks, POD.- What's the main thing you've learnt?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I've learned that less is more.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Well done, Jasmine. Are you ready to strut your stuff on the catwalk?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I definitely am.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Initiating PODwalk.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Jasmine is about to bear her natural beauty
0:10:38 > 0:10:39on POD's very own catwalk,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42which has been transported to a club in Cardiff.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46She's hoping to impress friends and family, and above all her dad.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I am hoping she'll look a lot more sophisticated.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Come on. Amazing. Amazing.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- You look amazing!- Thank you!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What's the fatherly view?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I think it's a massive transformation.- Thanks, Dad. - Much more elegant.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Do you think this look is more likely to get you a nice fella?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I hope so. I'm going to give it a good shot tonight when I go out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- I think it is.- I pray to God that I won't see those eyebrows ever again.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27I promise you I will try my best.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29They do seem to have made a reappearance
0:11:29 > 0:11:33on your brother's face, though. Am I right?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37POD computes that Jasmine has gone from
0:11:37 > 0:11:40over-accessorised pantomime dame to cool, elegant babe.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45It was really lovely seeing Jas walk down the catwalk tonight,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47looking really good.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Oh, my God, the change is dramatic.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's going from this clown look to such an elegant person.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think they were a bit shocked. I don't think they expected it,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and I think they're really glad the eyebrows have gone.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Cardiff lassies love to be bang on trend,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and the latest craze has got them in a bit of a squeeze.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Girls, what are you wearing?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Disco pants.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21They look like bin liners.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22We think they're trendy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24How do you get them on?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Well...
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Disco danger alert!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Recalling Ellie immediately.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32All right, why am I back in here again, then?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- I've noticed a worrying new trend, Ellie.- Right.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- It's this groovy, spangly leg nonsense.- What do you mean?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I mean disco pants.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- They look like this.- Oh, blimey.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I really don't like them.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48In fact, I'd like you to go out and investigate them.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But how about trying them out for size first?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52You could've ironed them.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Trust me, Ellie, once you've got into a pair of those,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58you won't be seeing any creases.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Have you bought the right size?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Look, POD, I'm getting to quite a crucial bit.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Do you mind if I go and do this privately?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09No, but Ellie, remember, only the disco pants.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Of course! Stop doubting me!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Tell me why you like to wear them.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Because you can move in them.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26They're, like, really comfortable.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I think they suck you in. They make you feel...
0:13:30 > 0:13:32What do you like about the trousers?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34They're tight.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36They're very good if you have a bum.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What happens if you don't have a bum?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- You get that like plank look.- Yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I've got something in my pocket for you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47One of those!
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Don't make me run.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52# D-I-S-C-Hello. #
0:13:52 > 0:13:54In the 70s, would they have been purple?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- What colours would you have had?- Mostly black.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Everyone gets a little bit scared
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- about what the back view's going to be.- Yep.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Do you know what the secret is? Just don't look in the mirror.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I just don't feel comfortable showing that much leg.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Soon as someone comes in with a camera down low, just cover.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I might go and buy a pair now.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Yeah, I've empowered you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Does my outfit gives you really, really good vibes?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Not really, no.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Pants are unbelievable, you know.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27What vibes does it give you?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Stay away.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I'm entitled to my choice, yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- You are entitled to your choice. - Absolutely.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Do you know what I choose? - Yes.- Disco!
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Hiya.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43So Ellie, tell me, what have you found?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That a lot of girls like these very much.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48A lot of people are having trouble getting into them
0:14:48 > 0:14:50but the payoffs are worth it because...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- SLURP! - ..it sucks everything in!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Ellie, you know what I'm going to say.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You're going to say, "Ellie, take down your little jacket
0:14:58 > 0:15:00"and then do an impression of Sandy from Grease?"
0:15:00 > 0:15:03No, Ellie, I'm going to say, "Stop mucking around,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07"get those disco pants off and disco yourself out of here!"
0:15:07 > 0:15:11OK, I can't promise I'm not going to keep these. Bye.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Now for Vicky, whose inspiration is a dolly.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22No, not the country superstar, the plastic toy kind!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Hey, I'm Vicky, I'm 22 and I'm a fashion student from Plymouth.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29'The reason that I want to look like a doll so much is...'
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I suppose it started at a young age really.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Playing with dolls,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37I just always thought they were the perfect kind of girl.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40My fakery is bleached hair.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43These are the longest human hair extensions which I've been able
0:15:43 > 0:15:46to find. I shake my eyebrows off and draw them on.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It covers up all her natural beauty in many ways.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50False nails.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Her hair is fake. Her face is fake. Even her eyes are fake.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Everything she can get fake is fake.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Dolls are made out of plastic and that's what I'm aiming for.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Plastic fantastic perfection.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05'I live at home with my mum
0:16:05 > 0:16:08'and my stepdad and my brother and my animals.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:09So fluffy.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11'Ages ago when I was younger'
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and I was all natural-looking, all of my friends would get
0:16:14 > 0:16:16attention from galleries and I would never get any
0:16:16 > 0:16:20and it seems like the faker I got, the more attention I would get.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25What I love most about going out is getting ready at the beginning.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I have just put hairspray on my face
0:16:26 > 0:16:28because it makes the make-up stick to your skin.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33High maintenance. Getting ready to go out she takes forever and a day.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34More is more is more.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The best nights are when you are out with Vicky.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38She's loud and she's fun.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Guys either love her or hate her.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think Victoria's current style gets the wrong attention from men.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50My look does scare boys off but then you find really freaky,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53weird ones who still think it is OK to talk to you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Hello, POD, I want you to work a miracle, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Bring back the real Victoria I once knew.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02POD, this is me dolled up. You cannot doll this down.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I love my dolly Vicky. We are bestest friends.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I plait her hair, we play teddies, we really love each other.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Please, stop touching my hair. - Sorry.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- You really do look like a dolly. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Do you take that as a compliment then?- Yeah, definitely.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What do your friends and family think of your look?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I think they like it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Really?- I think they think it is a bit over the top.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- My dad wants me back to my natural colour.- Which is how dark?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Exactly the same as your hair. - That's not so bad, is it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- No, it looks nice on you. - Why are you coming to see POD?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39I do want to see if I can still feel like I do now
0:17:39 > 0:17:41when I haven't got all this stuff on.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44More comfortable and a little bit more grown-up looking.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Audrey Hepburn style. - I never saw Auds in this.- No.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Vicky, I have got a quiz for you to see if being a doll is
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- actually taking over your life.- OK.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Do you like to sleep in a bed or in a big box, covered with cellophane.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Definitely the big box.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Would you like your boyfriend to be manly or slightly smooth.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09They have got to... Oh. Oh, right. Manly. I would go for manly.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Do you like to take holidays in Faliraki or drive away in
0:18:13 > 0:18:15a big, huge, pink campervan?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I don't actually know where Faliraki is.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I'm guessing it's the huge, pink campervan.- Yeah, I'll go with that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Can you drive?- No.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- You are very close to turning into a full-blown human doll.- Brilliant.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Shall we go and see POD and try and change that?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You have no choice. Come with me.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Are you ready? Are you excited? - I'm ready.- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Hello, POD.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I am POD the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm Vicky.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Is there a string coming out of your back so you can speak?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59No.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Did you come in a box with matching accessories?- No.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Why do you look like a dolly then?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Cos I want to look like a doll, thank you.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Show me your elbows.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Do you think that fakeness looks good?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14No.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16How long does it take you to make you look this fake?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18About two hours, probably.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Two hours dedicated solely to fakery?- Yeah.- Why?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It takes a lot of time to put all this stuff on, doesn't it?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Please hold out your hands and close your eyes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32All you need now is a tea set and we'll have a nice little tea party.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34That would be lovely.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You look like a little girl again holding those toys.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Yeah, I'm loving it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Except one that needs to get her roots done
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and sort out her elbows.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Thanks.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47POD says if you are going to be Prime Minister of Dolly Land
0:19:47 > 0:19:50how would you defend all the dollies of the world?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Dolls are like perfect humans.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56They're like everything that humans want to be so they're like,
0:19:56 > 0:19:57"Let's make a really beautiful
0:19:57 > 0:19:59"little woman and make her into a doll."
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Why did you not think you were OK already?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02The thing is,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06when I was younger and I had my brown hair, boys just didn't like me
0:20:06 > 0:20:09and I thought obviously personality isn't enough cos everyone's
0:20:09 > 0:20:12shallow these days so I made myself into this.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Do you have a boyfriend?- No.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- So it's not working, is it? - Not really.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Let's run public analysis.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I asked the public whether they would snog, marry or avoid this girl.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28What do you think they said?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29They said, "Marry."
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I would avoid her because it looks like somebody has sneezed
0:20:32 > 0:20:34black gunk around her eyes.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36That's not very imaginative, is it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39That sounds like something a five-year-old would say.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You're the one dressed like a toy!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I would avoid this girl because she looks really cheap and tacky.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51It costs a lot of money to like this cheap.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I'd definitely avoid this girl cos she looks like she's
0:20:53 > 0:20:55fallen through a children's fancy dress shop.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Oh, see, I like that comment
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and I don't understand why that's an insult.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03In fact, 100% of the public said they would avoid you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I'm really surprised that there is that many people with such...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11..closed minds out there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14POD computes that you are way to pink to make the boys wink!
0:21:14 > 0:21:19You need my plastic problem to natural beauty phenomenon make under.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Maybe I do. - Let's run the deep cleanse!
0:21:25 > 0:21:29First of all I want you to take off all your accessories.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Goodbye, silly shoes!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Keep going!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37This one won't come off. Oh, my God, but they're disgusting.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Now hand over those straggly extensions!
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Oh, my God, I look like Mystic Meg.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Get that eye makeup off as well, please!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I haven't got any eyebrows. I'll look like a right weirdo alien.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Hold up that wipe so that I can see it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56POD computes that you have very lovely, fresh skin.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Oh, my God, it's awful.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Are you ready for your make under? - Yeah.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Run the make under in three, two, one.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19Oh, my... Oh, my God. What the hell? I do not even look like me.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21What do you think, Vicky?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I don't know. I do like the hair colour. Is it...?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30It's like sort of gingery brown. I quite like that. That's cute.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- You look cute!- Thank you.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Originally I sent the public a picture of you looking like a doll
0:22:36 > 0:22:37and what did they say?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Everyone wanted to avoid me and I was outraged.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I showed them a picture of you looking like this.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- What do you think they said now?- Marry.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I would snog her because she looks gorgeous.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52She looks like she'd have a good time and a lot of fun.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Oh, that's cute and that's accurate. About the lots of fun bit.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01I would snog her. She's got nice eyes, she looks confident and fun.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I would marry her. She seems like a nice, pleasant girl.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'd probably take home to my mum.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Oh. That's quite cute.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10In fact, 40% do want to marry you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12And the other 60% want to snog you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It's being a ginger. It's my new thing.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What have you learnt from being made under, Vicky?
0:23:17 > 0:23:23I have learnt from being made under that being a blonde isn't
0:23:23 > 0:23:26necessarily the best thing and I think maybe being a ginger is.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Are you ready to show the world the naturally beautiful Vicky?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33I'm ready to show them the naturally beautiful me.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Initiating POD-walk.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Vicky's about to take the floor on the POD-walk But will her dolly
0:23:40 > 0:23:45to sophisticated lady transformation raise a cheer from her friends?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50I'm a little bit nervous and I suppose I'm excited. I'm not sure.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55It's like a feeling in my stomach. I feel a bit sick.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58CHEERING
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- You look fabulous!- Thank you. - Do you love it?- I like being ginger.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20That's not a sentence you often hear!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22She looks absolutely stunning.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I think she's going to pull quite easy!
0:24:27 > 0:24:31POD computes that Vicky has gone from peroxide plastic dolly
0:24:31 > 0:24:34to rather well-turned-out young lady.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I thought it was going to be, like, terrifying
0:24:36 > 0:24:37but it was actually quite fun.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And it was nice to see my friends at the end.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I didn't even recognise her. I've never seen her without
0:24:42 > 0:24:48the makeup, the eyebrows, the hair, pink and she just looks incredible.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think she'll definitely keep the hair.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52makeup might take a bit more work!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It was quite a positive reaction and
0:24:55 > 0:24:57it was just really nice.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Cardiff guys and girls love flashing their flesh
0:25:06 > 0:25:09but exactly what Welsh rarebits are they showing off?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11In Cardiff you find very short dresses,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14most of the time with girls' bums hanging out.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16The girls don't wear clothes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Really high heels.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Cheeky short skirts.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I think it's a bit tarty personally but that's just my opinion.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27There's a lot of flashing the flesh in Cardiff.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Revealing tops.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Especially as the night goes on, it kind of gets shorter.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Rather than just legs or boobs you get boobs and legs.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41It's tacky. We don't like tacky in Cardiff but some people do, sadly.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43POD computes there's more meat on show than there
0:25:43 > 0:25:45is at the local butchers!
0:25:49 > 0:25:51POD changed multilayered Jasmine
0:25:51 > 0:25:55and peroxide dolly Vicky into natural beauties.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57But did they keep their look?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Ta-da!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Well, there were no eyebrows on you, Jasmine.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Oh, my God, the eyebrows, they have gone.- For ever?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I genuinely think that's it now. They're done. I don't need them.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13The rest of the look is kind of the same in that it is still quite
0:26:13 > 0:26:16eclectic, there's lots of sort of mishmash of styles going on.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18What have you kept from the makeunder?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I think everything is just more toned down.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23People have really complimented me since.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Have you had any luck in the chap department?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Maybe.- Have you?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33A little bit. Someone actually asked me out so...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Do you think that would've happened when you had crazy eyebrows?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39It didn't happen so, no.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So, over all, a good experience coming to see POD?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Yeah, it's been really worth it. Definitely changed a few things.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48And to you, Miss Vicky.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51When I first met you, you told me that in your family it was
0:26:51 > 0:26:54probably your dad who liked your look the least.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- What did he think when you had your makeunder?- He loved it.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01He really, really did like it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05You have gone exactly back to how you were apart from your hair.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I don't know. I don't wear the really, really dolly stuff as much.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14This is like my more casual version. This comes out a lot more.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- You think this is a more grown-up version?- Yeah, definitely.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I think this is a slight evolution.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23The crucial question is do you think you are a natural beauty?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yeah, but I like having the stuff stuck on.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Well, I think we can tick Cardiff of the list then.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Yes. As ever, Ellie, I've been incredibly successful.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Well, well done, you!
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Thanks. I am after all the world famous POD.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- MOCKING:- Meh-meh-meh-meh-meh.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Now, Ellie, please don't criticise my wonderful powers of make under.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I'm not. I'm just gently mocking your wonderful powers of modesty.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I don't really understand what you mean.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Get back out there and get cracking! - Afraid not.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Me and my valleys are going to the valleys so you can POD off.
