The people highlighted in the show were not having surgery to look exactly like the featured celebrity. 

They were people already set for surgery who were part of a trend MTV News was documenting. 

They brought in pictures of celebrities with features or attributes that they wanted to simulate. 

(ie: Angelina Jolie's lips, or Jennifer Lopez's teeth) 

I think MTV brilliantly named the show "They Wanted a Famous Face" for its shock value. 

So much so that even the celebrities wanted to "save" the surgery patients from becoming like them. 

Hilarious!

The reality TV genre, short for "reality television," features real-life situations, events, and interactions, often involving ordinary people rather than actors performing scripted roles. Reality TV shows aim to capture unscripted and authentic moments, providing viewers with a glimpse into various aspects of human life, behavior, and experiences.

People have plastic surgery in order to look like their favorite celebrities.
