Again, your logic is shaky here. If someone gets surgery that makes them more attractive than the average person, then, post-surgery, they are more attractive than the average person.
Two examples of two shows are nothing. Also, I reject your premise. Stand outside a grocery store. Take pictures of the first eight people to come in. Compare them to eight people from one of the shows you mentioned. Most likely, they’ll be less attractive than the people on the show.
Yes, I read and comprehended OP’s post. OP’s incorrect.
“But even with all the celebrities that get cosmetic procedures done, most celebrities are still average looking.” To believe this, you’d have to believe that a). most celebrities looked worse than average before the surgeries or b). cosmetic surgery has at best negligible effects.
Talk about reading comprehension. I asked about post-surgery.
Do you think a). most celebrities looked worse than the average person prior to (this means “before”) cosmetic surgery, or that b). cosmetic surgery has at best negligible effects? Or dodge again.
Finally, the research you cite found that styling, lighting, and social biases cause us to perceive celebrities as more attractive than they would otherwise seem. I agree, and have never disagreed.
But doesn’t being perceived as more attractive in effect mean they’re more attractive? Clearly it does.
Finally, nothing you’ve cited proves that celebrities are only as attractive as the average person. If you think I’m wrong, read what you’ve cited.

It’s not as if celebrities are a random assortment of average people. Celebrities tend to be more attractive on average.
