I’ve had these thoughts running in my head for quite sometime now though I’ve never really ‘voiced’ out my opinions thoroughly. But after having lunch with Benny yesterday, we actually discussed about the Mr. Eligible Bachelor contest amongst other beauty pageants being held in clubs. I couldn’t help but blurt out what I had in mind and I really did so. We had a long discussion over this and then Ben suggested that I just blab about it in my blog, so I thought, why not? lol
Ok guys, before I proceed, whatever I would be saying soon has no intentions of condemning anyone or any companies or so on. It is just solely based on my own opinions kay???
I’m pretty sure you guys have heard of the Mr. Eligible Bachelor contest being held on every Wednesday in one of the prestigious clubs in KK. Next week is the finals where apparently this year’s MR. ELIGIBLE BACHELOR is going to be selected. People, people…. come on, when you hear the word Bachelor, what comes into your mind? I’m sure some people think that the guy needs to only be good loong. Period. Is that it? Then probably the contest should be named ‘Mr. Hunk or Mr. Beautiful or even Mr. Call me Handsome’ ….
GrrrRrrr, okay I truly understand if the tagline is part of the marketing side or something, to attract people to come and watch the contest while spending tons of cash on the drinks. I know my thoughts might differ from people’s opinions but I really need to get this out of my lungs….. What actually happens during the contest? The contestants come out looking ‘beautiful’ in every aspects, but do u actually know who they are? (unless the contestant is already your friend…) I mean, for example, how’s their background like, what kind of jobs do they have?, how’s their personalities like etc… Girls, if you were looking at several bachelors in front of you, guys with different looks and different personalities and success on their backs..which would you choose? Take this for an example:
1st Guy: Tall, Dark/Fair, Handsome, Awesome body & a slacker(having no job at the moment) or
2nd Guy: Moderately good looking, has a stable job, speaks 5 different languages, a graduate from Harvard University or
3rd Guy: Short & Plump, a neurologist with a PHD, charming & sweet personality, has properties in different continents of the world etc..
Which would you choose? For those who have seen the Mr. Eligible Bachelor contest before, have you seen any of the above characteristics in any of the contestants? I think that the contestants are mostly like the 1st Guy only. Some of the contestants I swear they look like those people that doesn’t have any Identification Cards here, how did they even get into the contest? Ok.. I wasn’t trying to be mean k.. just releasinggggg~~ The contest is purely on the looks only… where are the brainy ones? and who votes for the winner? By the louder cheer and screamings that they get from the crowd? Do they even judge rightfully? I bet that if 10 girls were given a paper wit the different characters and looks of the guys, each girl would have different opinions and all.
I honestly think its pure marketing strategy to attract people without giving serious consideration of what event they’re really doing. I hope these organizers would put more effort, more research of what event they’re actually holding. Put some sense into it!
Don’t let me start on the beauty pageants here. Ok I have nothing against that girls and all. Nothing against the organizers. Nothing against those event functions… I just have 1 thought on this. Why do those girls that never wins the First title keeps joining other different contests?? I know some people say ‘NEVER SAY DIE’, never quit until you get what you want… I could understand if you don’t win the 1st time, maybe you could try your luck the 2nd time. But what happens if you don’t win at all? Isn’t that clear enough? Who am I to judge the girls right, lain la if I were cantik or what, ini tiada2.. But its just my opinion… I wonder why some girls could join the beauty pageants for more than 5 times. Dari tia kenal jadi kenal because you keep seeing the SAME faces EVERYWHERE!!! People tend to get tired and bored of the same faces, so please do yourself some good, get out of it and just accept it that you are already beautiful enough having the courage to join the pageants. If you don’t win the first or the 2nd time, PLEASE STOP!!!!! WE NEED NEW FACES! That’s just me. Maybe u guys out there wont mind at all ya..
Ok.. actually there’s so much more to say but I think I’d better leave it here. I actually feel better after blurting this out. Once again, I’d like to say sorry if I offended anyone in any sense. It’s just me expressing my feelings….Thoughts to ponder….hehehehehehehehehehe
