[3][4] If the nominee accepted the terms of the offer then Stacy and Clinton would give them the gift card and review the secret footage with them.

After reviewing the secret footage, the nominee was brought to New York City for a week of evaluation, shopping, and hair and make-up styling.

[5] Throughout the week, the nominee frequently declared she was unable to find properly fitting clothes, she disliked her body, or she didn't care what other people thought.

On the first day, Stacy and Clinton would sort through the nominee's current wardrobe, and she would step inside a 360-degree mirror to explain what she liked about her regular outfits and why she thought they looked good on her.

Throughout the sorting process, most of the clothes were symbolically tossed in a large garbage can; however, they were actually donated to charity as long as they were not torn or damaged.

With the credits rolling, the participant was shown in additional wardrobe items, and commented on what the experience did for her emotionally and how it improved her confidence.

Former participants include independent singer/songwriter Megan Slankard,[10] American pop star Tiffany, ballroom choreographer Melanie LaPatin,[11] world champion swimmer Tara Kirk,[12] and actresses Mayim Bialik,[13] Shannon Elizabeth,[14] Tina Yothers,[15] and Mindy Cohn.

I will always cherish the time I spent on 'WNTW' and be eternally grateful to TLC for a great co-host, amazing crew and an awesome program.

At first I thought the essence of the show was making snarky remarks about people’s outfits, but as it turns out, 'WNTW' is about taking stock of who you are and communicating that non-verbally to the rest of the world.
