variety shows for life!

As you people know, i have STM. I cant remember things (even hot guys) for more than a certain period of time. Hence, i always forget what shows im currently watching. Which is why i created a new column (look at the sidebar) for the shows im going to watch/currently watching. I split it into TV shows and movies. And yes, its a huge list. I have no idea when i will be able to complete it... but then again, i have a tendency to stop watching the show after a few episodes. So i can prolly finish one show in a day :$

Its really tiring to watch dramas. I dont know how people have the stamina to do so. I can only maximum do 16 episodes, sometimes up to 30 ONLY IF the show is mega awesome (like Baker King). I mean, all of us know what is going to happen. It is only the treatment which keeps us watching. However, sitcoms and reality/variety tv shows are different. They're unpredictable. Every week is different. Which is why i loooooooooove watching them.

As usual, when it comes to something i like, i will tend to blabber on. So here you go:

Its basically about chefs competing to be the winner. But why so fun to watch leh? Cause its like survivor in the kitchen. Im watching Season 8 and honestly, i kept switching sides throughout the show. At first, i hated Sabrina. But she became alright in the later episodes. Instead, it was Trev and the Golden Boy (cant remember his name la) whom are really irritating. And you get to see them getting yelled, hahahahaha.

And they play some cool games (like the food version of Russian Roulette). Hell's Kitchen is really full of suspense.



I only watched 1 episode. Ms Swee Lin showed us in class and initially she only wanted to show us the first part. But it was so good that the class kept begging her for more. So in the end we watched practically the whole episode.

Its fun because contestants are meeting each other without seeing each other. They will be in the dark and for the entire episode, they have no idea how the other party looks like. So there will be 3 girls and 3 guys and at the end of each episode, they have to choose one that they want to see the faces. After seeing the faces, they'll have to decide if they want to continue to get to know each other better. Which is interesting because you see how superficial some people are.

Nevertheless, it is a good show for those who like romantic stuff i guess.

WE GOT MARRIED

Matchmaking celebrities. Its addictive cause everyone wants to know how celebrities date right? But this only works IF you support the fake couple. If you dont, then there is no reason why you would continue to watch.


DONT. EVEN. GET. ME. STARTED.
Family Outing has got to be THE BEST variety gameshow out there. As im typing this, i feel so nostalgic. Daesung~~ Ye Jin~~ omg should i rewatch the entire thing?!?! Wait, impossible cause they banned most of the videos T____T

Its all about this "family" consisting of regular members and every week, there'll be a guest. They will have to go to the countryside to do some tasks. It doesnt sound funny right? But after i watched one episode, i was hooked. And ever since then, i kept chasing for more. I cried when they changed 2 of the cast because after they replaced those 2 with new members, the show was kind of... not as it used to be. Season 2 was worst. They changed the whole cast and even though it has Kwonnie (heart heart!) i didnt bother to watch. It fell short of my expectations so badly.

Conclusion, FO season 1 succeeded because it was very, very, very character-driven (as Ms Stella would say).

I love season 1 so much. I could still remember the day i fell in love with Daesung (one of the regulars). He made me laugh so hard that i fell from my seat while crying. Really! Because i laughed too hard, my stomach was in pain. I couldnt sit still anymore so i crumbled onto the floor and cry and laugh.

For the record, no show has made me laugh until like that. In fact, nothing has ever made me laugh until like that.
And obviously it took place at home where no one can see... except for my sister (which i think is why she started watching the show too ^^)

Here's a clip. It was from the last episode of the entire season where they give out awards (the most stupid award, the most pitiful award etc). Very funny cause they got play some of the best clips from season (:



I miss all of them ): Cinderella Chunderella and his Step-mother, the love triangle between Yejin, Hyori and Joon Kook... Dumb and Dumber (Daesung and grasshopper!!) And last but not least, the Elder. Everyone got a pair except for him, hahahaha! And he have a theme song cause he always lose in games and luck. I could write an autobiography of them but sigh. I think you get the idea.

Go watch if you have the time. It is highly entertaining :D
