The Arena

Yes yes, managed to catch the pilot episode of this debate show to see what;s the buzz about.. The Host : He really looks so out of place in the show.. Lacks charisma to engage the audiences, both at home and at the studio. And what;s with the hip hop hand gestures eh? This ain't a Black trash-talkin contest! Or did he learnt his moves together with the PAP ppl during their hip hop crash courses? To be hip is cool, to be square is a wanna-be. come on!!!

This picture sums it up. He must be thinking,"Oh dammit, now my popularity, or whatever is left of it, is goin to dip further!"

Anyway, The saving grace of the show is my sick indulgence of seeing a minnow school(loyang secondary) winning this round of battle against the everyone-thinks-they-are-so-fucking-smart big boys(raffles school). Hurray!!!! Am sure this is the correct move by the judges and Mediacock, given that the former mentioned school has more marketing value in the long run. 1 normal lookin, 1 butch lookin and extremely good-humored and the last one, a pretty young lass. Compared to the latter, which consisted of 1 expressionless boy, 1 expressionless boy and the last one, 1 expressionless boy, it's a no-brainer which team will help boost show ratings. hahahaha... Do they actually train these boys, who are considered the best in results to be this expressionless? Must be difficult to attain such good results given that young boys at that age are supposed to be rapturous creatures?

And yah, i am not goin to catch another episode of that anymore.. Thank u mediacock..
