Is it just me or do makeover shows seem to choose people who aren't actually unattractive?

I’m home today and just watched “What Not to Wear.” I’ve watched it quite a bit in the past and have seen two shows with a person who was truly overweight and one of those had a rather plain face. (Even when they were done with hair and makeup.) Otherwise, they’ve all been people who just needed to be shown how to use makeup and dress correctly for their body shape. None of them have been plain or truly unattractive, just canvases waiting to be painted on. This strikes me as a bit misleading. As though anyone could have this happen for them.

(Obviously, I’m not including “Extreme Makeover” which used to be on ABC. They typically used people who wanted cosmetic surgery and needed serious dental work.)

Thoughts? Opinions?
