Malaysian Dreamgirl


America's Next Top Model Cycle 10
Sorry...not Malaysia's Next Top Model! It's Malaysian Dreamgirl la.

For those who have not heard what Malaysian Dreamgirl is about, it's the first reality model search in Malaysia (think America's Next Top Model) that is to be full broadcast over the internet at Malaysian Dreamgirl.

Some complain that the judges (Elaine Daly, Lim Jimmy, Kenny Sia) are too full of themselves. Some complain that it's another Malaysian ripoff version of foreign shows (not the same la oi...Malaysians get to VOTE who becomes Malaysian Dreamgirl in American Idol-style!). Some complain that the prizes are not model-related at all.

I say, they complain a lot, don't they?

So the Top 12 have been chosen by the judges. Whether these 12 girls are really the "Top 12", that's not for me to judge since I didn't get to see or hear all the contestants. The pictures are before and after makeovers (ooh...I LOVE makeovers!)
(The following pictures are taken from http://www.malaysiandreamgirl.tv/top12.html)

#1: ADELINE


#2: ALISON


#3: CINDY


#4: EYNA


#5: FIQA


#6: HANIS


#7: JAY


#8: JEAN


#9: NADIA


#10: NATASHA


#11: RINGO


#12: VALERIE


Needless to say, some don't speak English very well and some are just outright boring (come on, you can't even give an interesting introduction?). From their introductions, I can so tell what questions were given to them to answer:

1) Tell us about yourself and that you're running for Malaysian Dreamgirl.
2) Tell us why you think you can be the Malaysian Dreamgirl.
3) Why should the other girls watch out for you?

The finalists just simply have no sass and no attitude and no personality (see...so different from America's Next Top Model...cannot be rip-off from ANTM la). Pretty or not, yes la...pretty. Model potential? Maybe la...the makeover has been a great improvement for most of them so we'll just have to wait and see what the girls learn from this experience.

I'll be catching the episodes online (new episodes every Thursday and Saturday) to see...
