Malaysia's Most Beautiful

Reality TV show has completely revolutionized the showbiz. I am utterly attracted to almost everything that has a reality component.

Survivor, The Apprentice and Project Runway are examples of shows that have been very successful in getting you hooked.

In between of switching channel, I was attracted to the re-run show of “Malaysia’s Most Beautiful” –a reality show that put a group of ladies to certain level of tests to identify who should be given the title “Malaysia’s Most Beautiful”.

The most overused phrase when it comes to beauty is “It is subjective”. Yeah, I admit that it is subjective. But have you heard the phrase “Beauty is not just what you see, it’s from within”? Something like that lah…

I am extremely confused with how the winner of the competition went through all the way and got the tittle.

In one particular episode, they were required to go through an interview session with executives from Loreal Malaysia & a private hospital. If I’m not mistaken, all of the executives unanimously said “They will not hire Dilla”. I’m glad to hear that because her answers and attitude during the interview were simply horrendous. As they were showing clips of her working experience at the hospital, I got irritated and switched channel. Attitude.

In another episode, the poor girl exposed her history of “bad relationship with her dad” and running away from home. She expressed her regret and claimed that the competition has changed her, and made her realize of her previous mistake(s). Well, that is just PR, and looking at Malaysian market, that kind of story does sell pretty well.

I just hope it’s true.

Gosh… If someone can only realize that family is important (regardless of the situation and frustration) via participating in a competition, she is not Malaysia’s Most Beautiful.

Cheers!
