Stacy, Clinton, Nick & Carmindy interview people who applied to the show, following a contest posted on tlc.com, claiming that they are better at being makeup artists, hair stylists, and fashion editors than the team is. 12 finalists were chosen and challenged with a three day competition to see if they can match up.

In another contest announced on tlc.com, WNTW asked for a team of friends, either four women or three women and one man, who were having their 20 year high school or college reunion during the weekend of August 5, 2005 to be made over before the reunion.

It's another WNTW first as the team tackles a delicate subject- undergarments. After asking TLC viewers to submit tapes of themselves nominating someone worthy of assistance, the team chooses three c-workers who each have very unique problems with selecting underwear: Gina, who is very tall but flat chested, Erin, who is short and has the opposite problem with her large bosom, and Yachiyo, who recently had surgery for breat cancer and now must find special bras for her breasts that are two different measurements. The team attempts to help each woman regain their esteem and look more polished.
