Question : Ugly Betty, why is she successful? What say u????
In 30 years in various worlds , retail, banking, property management, noi one that has the looks she portrays on the show would ever, ever get a job like the one she has on the show, only if her father owned the business. Can anyone in fashion in their wildest dreams think she woulds ever get hired, NEVER. The show is good but a total fantasy assisted by Selma Hayek. The Cinderella story of the 21st century. Despite any degree, any intellect, any references no one that looks like that character in the culture of corporate America would have a snowball’s chance in h**l of landing that job.
I have seen it, and though I value your opinion the reason I believe it is so loved is how impossible it really is.

Mr. Meade hired her so that she wouldn’t distract Daniel from his job. It’s not meant to be realistic but you are being somewhat close minded when you say that someone like her couldn’t get the job.

She was hired so that she would not distract. At first she was hated. Then Daniel realized that she was a great assistant so he kept her. It’s all about how good she does. And she’s the best candidate for the job. Whether she wears Jimmy Choos and is a size 1 or not.

And seriously? It’s just a TV show. It’s not like it’s realistic. Try watching the show before making these stupid questions.
