4: Nip-Tuck - this follows a plastic surgeon - looking at perfection. 

5: Gok Wan's How to look good naked - the very fact those women have to be reassured is they feel ugly and fat - and you can easily pick out similarities between the women he has on the show - so the question is - what does society say about these body types on the show if they need reassurance? - you get the idea?
