 Sometimes the nominee would be asked to participate in "market research" by a camera crew which was actually the "What Not to Wear" crew filming her pre-makeover look for the show.Also, the nominators sometimes gained access to the nominee's closet to point out specific items of clothing that they considered particularly bad.While reviewing the secret footage, Stacy and Clinton would comment, in sometimes caustic style, on why the nominee's wardrobe was unflattering ("mom jeans") or out-dated (purchased in the 1980s) and they would usually meet with the nominators before meeting the nominee.
