These kinds of picture comparisons bother me, because they're obviously being manipulative in which photos were chosen. In the "now" column, some of them are obviously more candid shots, being caught in unflattering poses with unflattering clothing specifically to say "look how badly they've done!" - and while *I* have enough knowledge about photography, angle manipulation and psychology to understand what's going on, plenty of people will just go along with the insinuation. There are people behind those photos, guys, and you could have gone completely factual without trying to make them look bad because it gets you better ratings to be judgmental.
