was watching a reality show to pick a new VJ the other day on TV. And if u think bearing 1 VJ on TV is bad enough try 8 each trying to outdo the other. I have never seen a group of people try harder to be funny.imagine the pressure when u r up against 7 other people each 'whacky' in his/her own right.every syllable that drops from ur mouth needs to be uproarious. So cant really blame them if most of their jokes fell flat.
They had the usual suspects lined up. The guys were all over-energetic and kept pulling funny faces for our benefit. And there are 2 kinds of female VJs i guess-plain gorgeous and perky gorgeous. All the females fell into the above 2 categories except one. She was plain-looking,clearly on the heavier side and yes,bald. Maybe they picked her as the quirky weirdo, the odd 1 out in the group. dont think she would have been picked except for her bald pate which could be and was an inexhaustible source of lame quibs.
Most of their rounds were pretty lame.For eg. the guys had to wax their legs,the girls had to milk a cow--been-done-to-death reality tv stuff.But one round was interesting. They had to stand before a mirror and poke fun at themselves. And most of them did hopelessly. They could n't identify a single peculiar trait of their own.Obviously they thought the world of themselves. Except the bald girl. She was funny.And i have always had a soft corner for people who can laugh at themselves especially girls who can make fun of their looks. A lot of people r really good at making digs at others but when the joke is on them suddenly thier sense of humour vanishes.If u cant take it u should nt dish it out.
.Chances are she wont be picked unless they r trying to break a mould.She is just not pretty enough to be on TV.Which is a pity because would nt it be nice to see a jolly,likeable girl with a keen wit instead of those PYT's with the fake accents who do little more than embellish the set.
