Ladies and gentlemen and hooligans of the forum. Let me introduce myself, I'm Return To Hades and the Dark Overlord of Debate Mansion. I have not been around much as you can see from my signature I am expanding my Jedi mind powers to build my empire.
Anyway, we are down to the wire and I could not resist keeping away till after the Grand Finale. (This is where I wave my light saber angrily at Mithun da for not extending this further with his veto/recall powers). In the meantime so much time has passed. So many topics and pages, so many contestants eliminated and oh so much drama on here as usual. 😛 I've kept up with the show on television and some of the topics as a silent reader. That leaves me with so much on my mind to say. So instead of randomly spamming topics with interspersion of an epiphany I had weeks ago or reviving dead ghosts that some of you may want to leave exorcised, I thought I would create a topic to lay out my recap of the season. Likes, dislikes, pet peeves, what I want to see in the future, changes etc and all that jazz.
Before I proceed, a few words of caution. I usually have a lot on my mind, unfortunately the dancers don't leave me speechless like Mithunda (Although Terence actually does that, he also makes me drool like a hound dog and have my heart beat faster than a ticking time bomb). Point is I type way too much that if my posts were made into words, Amrita would be put to shame. Secondly as my sweets Ajnu says, I am full of sarcasm (with a surprising touch of compassion). Which means you may read me say something like Contestant (x-t) dances like an electrocuted monkey. So don' take it literally. Don't take it figuratively either. Please know that I mean no offense to electrocution or the monkey 😉😆
What is a Reality Show?
Lets begin with Genesis. So what are these reality shows and televised contest all about. A reality show is genius money minting scheme cooked up by television producers. Out of work soap script writers are hired to write cheesy oneliners and melodrama while the producers craftily write a script leading to the most money minting winner. Then the winner hits you like a yellow school bus even when you knew it was coming all along, c'est la vie, c'est reality TV.
So you might argue if it is all scripted, why do we watch and why do we vote. Its the same principle as watching 300, you know tall Spartans (good contestants) will die (get eliminated) in the end, but you get to see buff hot shirtless men (some good performances and loads of Terence). If you had a chance you would vote for King Leonidas (your favorite) even though he will die (get eliminated) , because after all he is King Leonidas and who would not vote for King Leonidas.
Let me interject here that I am above it all. I merely observe and report like Herodotus (if he was as cool as me). Although, I am not averse to waging a war (battle of the greater masters) for the kicks of it. 😆
PS: Terence is awesome like Leonidas.
