reality shows

yeah, i just love them. they are so for real and those contestants who participated in these shows were put under pressure. extremely under pressure, period. The tensed atmosphere and the stress really put them to their limit. I've learned that it is not too good to be humble and at the same time not to be way too arrogant in those games.

firstly,
The Apprentice UK

that's right. "It's all about business, nothing personal". I personally prefer UK version over US version because of the firing system and the switching teams along the episodes is fairer in UK version.

things that I've learned from The Apprentice:

1. COMMON SENSE!
   
2. do research before dealing in business - price, location, time management
3. teamwork is crucial. never back stab a teammate, unless you're in the chopping block, for the sake of survival
4. never force a customer to buy - promoting and forcing are totally different
5. majority speaks louder than personal opinion. unless you're willing to take the risk
6. customer target is important
7. what else? oh, never involve any personal issue into business, it just makes thing worst

Next, Project Runway


well, i'm not a fashion fan but i enjoy the creativity and taste of different designers need to offer. being a fashion designer is not easy at all. careful planning, choosing the right materials, time management, working under pressure, selecting models and their hairstyle plus makeup which have to suit the dress etc etc are crucial points to win this challenge.

i simply love episode which the designers have to create a outfit from scraps like items from supermarket, car ascessories, candies and cookies, flowers and leaves.... they are just amazing.


Wife Swap


now this is a extremely funny reality show. there's US and UK version, but i prefer US because of the "variety" families they have. seriously, US have weird families including the magicians, pirates, body builders.... omg

the purpose of this show is to show 2 families with totally different background adapting each other lifestyles. basically, every lifestyle has the pros and cons. so the wives from different background get to swap with each other for 2 weeks, where the 1st week the wives has to live a totally different lifestyle and in 2nd week the wives get to alter the other family into her own lifestyle . well, sounds simple but it's totally funny when u watch them adapting. some wives find it funny while other having tough time.

you just have to watch it for yourself =)


American Next Top Model

yes, modeling. ah, at 1st i thought modeling is easy, just catwalk on the runway and that's it. but this show proved me wrong. modeling comes with passion, emotion, desire, and self motivation. and of course, it's not just the runway, but the picture taking, posture, the "eyes" and facial expression are important too.

Modeling is not just about beauty only.


finally, Hell's Kitchen


yes, HELL!

if it's not for Gordon Ramsay's attitude, there won't be the word "hell".
i just love this show. you can really feel the tense when watching it. and i always wonder, is it so hard to cook a perfect wellington? i mean, most of the chefs ending up overcooked them or served raw... sometimes when the chefs were in stressed situation, they went blur, like cooking without the gas on, or serving chicken spaghetti without chicken.... what else?

all i know is, well prepared and determination are the key points to success. don't bother bout Ramsay nagging XD
