R.I.P. Bigat10

R.I.P. Bigat10:

R.I.P. Bigat10
Me, crying? Nope.

Greek text translation:
Remembering the times you’ve bored us to tears with its format, especially
having a new feature “raffle time” which is the most useless, time-wasting
feature ever done on the show. I thought the game was more fun than that
but it lacks liveliness, just like the contestants themselves; only one(s)
you’re interested in are the foreign visitors and cute 18-year old girls.
What does someone like me learn from that? I’ve learned to always give
foreigners/tourists nasty looks because they’re racially different and to date
girls who lack personality and just focus on their good looks and fit body,
and to forget about who they are as a person because after all that’s what
makes a meaningful long-term relationship. Thank you for puncturing rusty
thumbtacks in our brains and polishing it up with more boredom, we will all
miss your wonderful goodness. You never excited us anyway.

Out of all the games I've seen on Wowowee, I've cried tears of boredom more on Bigat10 than any other game. Usually when this happens, my dog rushes into my room and threatens to bite my arm for being such a cry-baby wuss. Blame it on Bigat10.

There's no other feature that can liven up a game like this. Ever since the show came back from the ULTRA tragedy, here came "Raffle Time," sponsors, contestants' mediocre dancing, more sponsors, more mediocre dancing, etc. What's worse is that I can never listen to the questions being asked because they are orally presented in the most misunderstood tone that I feel like I'd rather to fill my ears with hot water than sit and listen to the questions being asked; it's that horrible. Take the hint: a game's a game. Read the question properly, and stop playing favorites, whoever wins WINS.

But no one listens to that rant; they all still play cute thinking that people are more attentive to how they act during the game instead of focusing on they themselves on getting the game through (during this time, I've probably tuned in to another channel or have fallen asleep; I don't know about you people). So I've just about had it with this and took the initiative by delivering one simple message:

Bye Bye Bigat10!

It was nice knowing you. We've met a lot of people, we've watched tons of old people dance, we've watched loads of less fortunate ones most of whom YOU'VE defamed and we've seen and picked on girls who are more artificial than human. Shame on you. Why should I still be crying upon the cause of your death? Pitiful.

Here are my reasons not to cry for Bigat10's death:

1. Game format: sleep time.

Simple enough. I can't clearly hear the questions being read because of the person reading it. I don't like having to sit and watch contestants go through 4 questions, in which they all don't know the answers to. Hosts chit-chatter way too much paying less attention on finishing the game...I've lost my energy, I'VE LOST MY ENERGY. Change the channel please.

2. Contestants dancing.

Guess what that is. I mean, nothing in this universe is worse than having to watch an overly-ecstatic contestant dance like they're having a seizure. You know what's more fun than watching contestants who think they can dance? Watching paint dry.

3. Racial tension.

So the game had a fair share of showing foreign visitors and tourists participating on the show, with some lucky enough to play the game. Only thing is whenever I see these foreign people greeting their loved ones, I wished I had told them that if they were to be chosen to play this game, don't expose yourself and your loved ones a lot because the people around you may not like you, may envy you, may mistreat you, and so on. Why is this so? Well, there'll always be this one white man telling everyone he's happily married to a filipino woman and whenever he says so, everyone in the studio falls in complete silence. Why, what's wrong? Is it because that woman married a man who's not of your descent? What makes ALL of you think that's "wrong?" Just because her husband is not filipino doesn't mean he's a bad person. So cut your hatred business, you're all embarassing yourselves in front of these foreign folks.

And besides I get this all the time, even though I too am filipino but I don't look like one which is why I had to list it on here. Yet in reality, there are only 3 or 4 currently, who've found the true person I really am and has proven everyone that I'm not who you thought I was. I'm sure the same goes for these foreign folks. Sure it's easy for people like you to say "let's just all get along together;" you swallow the rhetoric, as a result, nothing changes. If you're going to advise people to "get along together regardless of who they are racially," PROVE IT. Don't sit there and say it.

4. TV time burned.

Self-explanatory. Here's a perfect example:

How vain and painful. Excuse me while I finish my nap.

5. A means to hit on attractive underaged/foreign/barely legal/taken/married women.

Let me ask this question to all of you: what word comes to mind when you watch a man, who's old enough to be your father, hit on a girl, who's young enough to be your younger sister?

Here's the answer:

GROSS.

Business is business, and if you're going to take this time to unbutton your shirts to approach a girl, who just attended the show FOR THE SHOW (unless she's a money-hungry dolt), you ought to be fired. Do I hear harassment?

I've seen staff members hit on girls in the audience and literally ask for their phone numbers ON CAMERA. Am I missing something here? So let me get this straight: just when you thought you're socially ostracized and unattractive to appeal to everyone, you decide to use the show to try and court girls you never will succeed with? Brilliant.

And because of that, this is a plea to all women who participate on the show: I know it's nice you're stunning enough to be able to gain some camera time. But right when you see male stage directors and camera operators starting to hit on you, tell them off. If that doesn't work, bring your over-protective brother, father, boyfriend, best male friend, etc. I'm tired of having to see these people use the show as "the dating game." If you bored show workers can't succeed with these girls, game over - get back to work.

(Please advise these to all women if they decide to attend the show. Together we can all end any forms of harassment occurring inside and outside the show, and make Wowowee more hospitable.)

This rant is not only towards Bigat10, but to all games as well. It's hard to enjoy the show when these things happen. Please, get on with the show. Better yet, get rid of this horrid game.

I sure hope there'll be a new game that'll replace this one. I'd love to share my new idea for a game but I haven't finished it yet. If you're from the media who'd love suggestions for new games, please email me.
