Style By Jury
Introduction '''Style By Jury''' was an original Canadian makeover show and format which aired on the W Network from 2004 to 2010.The series was created by Carolyn Meland and executive produced and co-developed with partners Romano D'Andrea and Jeff Preyra at Planetworks Inc.
Plot The premise of the show was centered around first impressions. Candidates were told that they were doing an audition for a makeover, but were unaware that they had been pre-selected for the show. Hidden in the auditioning room behind a two-way mirror, a jury was asked for honest first opinions about the candidate. Once the shock of the two way mirror is revealed, the jury's first impression would be played back on a monitor, and the candidate would often be brought to tears. This set the launchpad for the makeover journey, tackling both the exterior and interior transformation. At the end of an intensive one week makeover, the candidate returned before an entirely different jury, which was unaware that the subject has had a makeover. What kind of first impression will they make the second time around? Waiting in the wings is one last surprise "special" juror.
The Makeover The candidates would undergo a top to toe overhaul, typically including extensive cosmetic dentistry,  dermatology, hair, make-up, and fashion. The cornerstone of the makeover, however, would be presented as the internal transformation and coaching which together enabled the candidate to view themselves in a whole new light.
