Beauty means something completely different to every single person. As they say, it truly is in the eye of the beholder. So, one can imagine the mess that might happen when, during the warm summer days of August 1990, a major magazine like TV Guide Magazine asked viewers to identify the most beautiful woman on TV in America.

The result was a really wild moment that also turned out to be a case study on how to trick the system, connect with fans, and create a little bit of anger along the way.
