You're Still A Swan to Us

On FOX’s hit new reality TV show, "The Swan", twenty-eight-year-old "ugly duckling" Kelly Alemi went through extensive reconstructive surgery, including breast augmentation, full-body liposuction, dental surgery and a grueling exercise regime, all to transform herself into the possible "Swan."

And even though it was Kelly’s competitor, Rachel, who won the right to go on to the beauty pageant phase of "The Swan" Wednesday night, castoff Kelly tells us she still feels like a winner.

"I am confident, I can make eye contact with people, and I'm happy," Kelly tells us.

But perhaps the most emotional moment in Kelly's transformation was her tearful reunion on air Wednesday night with her boyfriend Bob. Kelly tells us, "He cried and I cried. It's a great love story."

Today, Kelly is looking ahead to her new life and she leaves behind her experience on "The Swan" with no regrets. "I know I'm beautiful, I don't need a judge to tell I'm beautiful, and that's the most important part I've walked away from this with," she admits.

More "ugly ducklings" come swimming our way when the next episode of "The Swan" airs Monday night on FOX.
