000063 - reality gone south

this is me, if i was a south park character (created by canadians). call me kwang!

do you like reality tv shows? i was never much of a fan of these shows until i started getting hooked one by one. i'm pretty sure office gossip during coffee breaks when i had my 9 to 5er kept me in the loop. my favorites includes: the amazing race, the apprentice, survivor and my restaurant rules. other shows like big brother and idol don't really interest me as much however (i'd fall asleep over the former and only watch the auditions of the latter). i've thinking about how i'd never ever qualify for any of these...

the amazing race: i love travelling and this would be the reality show i'd most like to go on, but i couldn't run further than a mile before collapsing. plus my fear of heights and my inability to swim (i can barely float) makes me an unlikely candidate. i think i can tough it out but i highly doubt i could convince anyone to partner up with me.

the apprentice: mr. trump would have one look at me and say, "you're fired!" no, seriously, if you think about it, this is the only reality show where you'd have to work after you win (yes, technically so does an American/Austrailan idol after they win but their built up fame throughout the series probably has done half their work for them). so logically going on this show makes no friggin' sense. i'm no lawyer, entreprenuer or someone who's made any significant business milestone in the last decade. so unless they start looking for career metamorphising unemployed uni students in Australia to be on the next season of the show, i highly doubt i'll get in breathing distance of mr. trump and his lovely hair.

survivor: i barely survive on instant noodles / ramen, and i haven't seen nissan or maggie sponsoring any food type products on the shows so far, so why put myself through more pain?! plus i'm not too keen about no hot showers or sharing the same dirt or grass patch with other people who haven't bathed for more than 3 days! i think i'd do quite well in the co-op and group/team settings though but again, my own back would literally be tattooed with targets when it comes to backstabbing.

my restaurant rules: don't know if there's any overseas version of this show, but i love watching it. i love food and the whole process of making it, serving it and running a business in order to shove it down people's throats mesmerises me for odd reasons. again, the pressure of all these would get the better of me. i find preparing food for others a very responsible task and since i'm no wizard in the kitchen (unless it involves making love, ha), this kind of responsibility would drive me insane, so i'm not going to qualify for this show either unless they are looking for insane contestants who jokes about having relations in a food preparing area.

heck, they really should make a show called: the amazing sex apprentice surviving chef race for the queer eye in the city!

right. i think it's the pressure of too many upcoming uni projects and the time of the night that's influencing what i'm blogging. good night.

(also lunch with the gang was great, nice to catch up with most of everyone over a nice meal yesterday. bon voyage to Rads!)
