what not to wear and the clothes they get rid of

yeah they do need something to shop in, you're right. i'm just very detail oriented and want explanations for everything! about the men thing, i'm guessing it's a few reasons. i enjoyed watching men get made over too, but a lot of times they just dressed them exactly like clinton (argyle sweaters, jackets, dressy shoes) and they looked good. most guys look good if you put them in a button up shirt and a jacket, so maybe it's boring for them to do the same looks over and over, whereas with women they can play around and take more fashion risks. plus, more women probably get nominated, and they see some who are desperately in need of help so they pick them over the guys who could just get a shave and new clothes and look good. that's just my guess! thanks for responding!

i was asking this... if they really get rid of all the clothes, then why do the people get to still have some clothes to wear to go shopping in. sorry if it was confusing. i've checked out the website before but it's very sparse. maybe a message board would have some answers. thanks for your response.

Perhaps they hold onto some things or perhaps they select what will go and then hold onto everything until after the shopping. I seriously doubt they get rid of every single item because it would cost them thousands to replace someone's entire wardrobe.
