I was at home the whole day, so at 9
PM I thought, "I think I'll go out for some fresh air." Later, when I stepped out of the house, there came a whole lotta...
cigarette smoke.
What the hell. What irony.
So anyway, I took a walk to the nearest NTUC, and bought some drinks and snacks, because watching TV alone isn't very fun. I need to eat while watching TV, and during and in between breakfast, lunch and dinner, there's plenty of good shows.
Studies? What studies?
Anyway, my personal must-watch is "The Nanny", because it's so damn funny and sarcastic. There's also "Lost", because I'm just hooked, and my naturally
kaypoh nature demands me to know every detail right until the end. Other than those, I also watch a lot of MTV.
Nelly Furtado is the Artist of the Month. She is so damn hot, but her latest song is so hip-hop-ish, like completely different from her old style which made me a fan in the first place.
And there's the programmes like "The 70's House" (Yay, Andrew won!), "Room Raiders" (which really motivates me to clean up my room more often), and today I came across this show called "My Own".
Basically, every episode is about "my own so-and-so". The episode that I watched today was "my own Hillary Duff". This guy (I forgot his name) who claims to be Hillary Duff's greatest fan is the judge, and he has two friends to help him. Six girls participate in this contest, and the one who reminds the guy most of Hillary Duff scores a date with him.
I don't know about you, but I thought it was pretty sicko. The guy obviously has the hots for the original Hillary Duff, but won't the chance of getting anywhere near her, so he picks a total stranger who will to remind him of her. My suggestion? Dude, you're in the same country as she is. Go stalk the original, instead of going for the fake.
Anyway, out of these six girls, only one looks remotely like Hillary Duff. Later, I found out that it doesn't really matter. The first round is a quiz, like, "When is Hillary Duff's birthday?" and other trivia, and they each also have to sing a couple of lines of any one of her songs, and do a bit of freestyle dancing.
Initially, I rooted for the contestant called Michelle, because we share the same name, and because she sang and danced really well. And she got every question correct. Later, I didn't like her. Here's why:
Guy: You answered every question correctly. Good!
Michelle giggles.
Guy: What's so funny?
Michelle giggles some more.
What the... I almost saw the word "
Bimbo" appear on the TV screen, right above her head. In any case, she made it into the next round, along with three other girls: Kelsey (the one who looked a teensy bit like Hillary Duff), Courtney (tall girl with fantastic voice) and Dianelle. Dianelle is tone-deaf and cannot dance. She is also an absolute bimbo who got many questions wrong. How did she make it into the next round? Easy. She had blonde hair and big boobs.
Typical man, that guy.
Anyway, Michelle didn't make into the third round, because the second round was just the guy and his friends watching pre-recorded videos of the four girls and their lives. Michelle just wouldn't stop giggling in the videos. I understand why she was eliminated.
The third round is the performance round, where the three girls have to sing and dance like Hillary Duff. They perform half a song each, with accompanying music and props on the stage. Kelsey's performance was mediocre, Dianelle's was painful (she forgot her lyrics to "Wake Up" and sang "I forgot this part..." -.-ll) and only Courtney's was good. And Courtney won, even though she's nothing like Hillary Duff. She looks so tough and cool and not at all cute and bubbly. But singing-wise she was the best.
Ooh... Guess what the guy's comments about her were? "She has a great voice... and a great body." So it all points towards one thing.
Yep, some show.
