REALITY BITES & CHEWS

::This post is written in a cryptic manner to avoid beings with limited capacity of reasoning from understanding this. :) ::

After watching last weekend's FINALE of THAT show, I can conclude that:

Malaysians are generally (or at least the masses that were mesmerized by the fever of THAT show) tone-deaf, blind and posess a funny sense of evaluating talents. Either that, or they were somehow brainwashed by some extra-terrestial force to do what they did last weekend.

There's just no other possible explanation.

I've refrained myself from writing anything about this topic particularly about THAT show from THAT broadcast station since I saw what happened to my friends' blog/msjboxes/tagboards. Some idiots googled THAT show and (persistently) decided to show their brand of loyalty by flooding the tagboards/msjbox/comments with lines that make me either roll-on-the-floor-laughing-my-intestines-out or to weep.(Weep because I dread if the same trend is going to show in the elections)

In this SHOW, the winner is NOT determined by talent or ability but by how well that person is liked adored by the masses. It doesn't matter if you're a nobody from the remotest part of the country, linguistically-challenged, tone deaf, etc, as long as the crowd loves you, hey, you're already THIS much closer to victory. Garner some sympathy, cry your eyes out, do some drama, act goofishly stupid - ooohh, see the crowd supporting you. See how shamelessly they imitate your every actions, words and expressions.

I'm not against anyone in THAT show. I watched a total of 3 shows (all watched with the Mr.) and I was surprised to see the adulation the crowds shower upon some of the contestants. Every comment (good or bad) was smothered by claps and shouts (geez, i wonder if they could even detect the whiff of sarcasm in the comments).

Surprised to see some with amazing talents (but limited fan base prepaid-credit power) being overlooked. But somehow, I am relieved. Because if these people are really talented, they'll succeed eventually. I've seen the previous winners getting nowhere except being just another face on tv being manipulated for their fan base to get profits by some companies (suckers!).

*sigh* The Malaysian kind of reality show. It bites you in awkward places.
