I just absolutely hated the attitude of What Not to Wear where they would treat it like an intervention and I'd feel like shouting at the TV "just let her wear what she likes!" But I have friends who like it and I don't try to tell them they're wrong or anything.

I've never heard anyone talk about it that way before, and I honestly think it's a pretty unfair assessment. None of the women were forced to participate - they agreed to take the challenge. And there were some good reasons for them to receive the help and correction that S&C offered. A lot of the them had self-confidence issues and used their clothes to hide (figuratively and literally); there were also women who were basically clueless about how to dress for a job or interview and it was holding them back. And they did work with them to find stuff that suited their style - they didn't just say "wear this even if you hate it".

Also, even though I'm moderately pleased with my style and wardrobe, I would take the challenge in a heartbeat to get free $5000 for clothes and lessons in how to shop and style myself from experts, even if it meant throwing most of my current wardrobe away. I like the styles S&C use, and nobody would make me wear what they picked out, either during or after the show.

I think their attitude is even worse in cases where the women are lacking in self-confidence. But explaining why would be nothing but me projecting my own feelings onto a bunch of strangers, so I'll just say that I hope the people who went on the show enjoyed the experience.
