bring fiqa back :(
Agree very much with what you wrote about Ringo (especially the afraid of committing fauxpass, and just existing),
except that I'd use less tact when saying it.
Who to vote?
Well, if Ringo = The UMNO of MDG
UMNO = controls legions of blind voters by manipulation of mainstream meadia.
RINGO = controls legions of blind voters by whoring of bimbo-blog.
UMNO = censorship of dissenting views in mainstream media by Zam
RINGO = censorship of dissenting views in Cheerserland by mr. bbq
UMNO = calls bloggers names like monkeys, liars before general election.
RINGO = calls judges blind, fungus-eye before recalled to the Top 12
UMNO = Won general election by small margin
RINGO = Got into top 12 only after 1 girl decide to pull out.
UMNO = Postal Votes
RINGO = Blind Bimbo Blog Votes
UMNO = Khairy, Zam, Nazri and all the people who make noise and complain before general election suddenly become low-profile and quiet after general election
RINGO = suddenly become quiet and stays away from drama after getting in top 12.
Then again who to vote?
**************************************
Like the last general election,
vote for anyone but UMNO!!!!!
**************************************
other than Sazzy Falak being inconsequential....
you guys being one of the 3 "official" MDG blogs should have written more!!!!
A lot of things are pretty out of the blue, if you only watch the show but don't get background information...
like in episode 3... i didn't know why was people not happy with ringo being back...
and then previous episode cindy and nadia complaining abt each other... then suddenly talked about fiqa being flirty out of the blue ... how to know ler...
So sad dat fiqa is out, she's my fav contestant too... now dat she is out, MDG is not dat interesting to me anymore...
i like nadia, her look is exotic...
Cindy was abused verbally in her blog, many of them are Ringo fans... check out d comments on her blog http://hotpinkchili.blogspot.com/
i sorta pitty her... she might seems bitchy, but i dun think she deserves so much public humiliation
I think it's quite unfair for other girls that they have to compete for votes with Ringo who has a huge population of bimbo fans. Ringo herself is not up to par for a modelling career.. her height is an issue, i know that many msian girls are petite n of similar height. but as a model, d basic criteria is to be tall. Ringo's picture is okay, not fantastic, her makeover shoot is quite nice, but d photos of d following week until now is not great watsoever... She doesn't do well on catwalk too... she has been outshine by other girls.
she might look cute but modelling is not all bout cute...Her big group of bimbo fans idolize her n make her their goddess... i wonder, how blind the fans are... ppl who make negative comments on her blog will received backlash by her group of fans.
many ppl commented on Ringo's POLITICAL PLOT
Su ann, if u r in MDG, i'll support u all d way!!!
we're looking for a model........not miss-world-peace. thats why i think cindy being....err...controversial is not really that relevant lor.
whyyyyy......
I think Jay's the best amongst all the remaining contestants..sigh..but actually right,none of them deserves the MDG title...
and i didn't like the way sazzy put down ALL the contestants during episode 11.. it's one thing to offer constructive criticism but it's another to eat away their confidence. even tyra - a world class model - gives compliments where compliments are due!
i was starting to like fiqa because in every photoshoot, her pose are different and really stands out.
i'm also a reader of cheeserland, but frankly saying if i hadn't know ringo through blog, i may not vote for her because she doesn't really shines in photoshoot nor catwalk nor personality. * shrugs*
Cindy has a nice face, but frankly i don't like the attitude.
second req = oomph factor
third req = head-turners
etc...
in general, asian girls are genetically-disadvantaged, but even so, cutting some slack in height doesnt extend to 5'2". that's stretching a bit too far. even "voting for a change" shouldnt include this kind of unrealistic change - what kind of change was she thinking of INDUCING anyway by uttering that cliche, sheesh. personally, i would think a minimum of 5'6-7" even among asian girls in order to be competitive with others in the modeling field.
want to vote for someone pretty or cute, please do so in prom queen contest or miss hello kitty competitiion, and not in a model search reality show like mdg. it's quite obvious that all successful models out there are not necessarily pretty and/or cute, but they garner recognition and wealth because they have a unique look or feature and exudes the wow factor along with them, and those are what attracts designers and clients: cindy crawford (mole), kate moss (waif-ish look), elle macpherson ('the body'), to name a few supermodels.
what i despise abt this competition:
1) the whole sms vote concept that had twisted the whole competition to become miss popularity or the girl with the richest-voters-who-dont-mind-voting-continuously contest, and not a selection based on merit and improvement. (where the hell are the judges when you need them?!)
2) the fact that fans of a certain blog we know are so damn adamant and defensive in their (blind) proclamation that their idol is producing absolutely the BEST in absolutely everything compared to other contestants - photoshoots, catwalk, personality and everything else, when clearly the reality is the opposite
on the fact that people who write comments along the lines of mine are labelled ringo-haters, guess what, (drum rolls), we are not. we are merely stating the obvious. in fact, i used to enjoy reading her blog entries from time to time long before mdg and was entirely neutral towards her, until i lost all my respect for her as a person recently. first, she could have written the original mdg-bashing post (free speech rights, right?) but chose NOT to return to mdg when recalled. now, not only did she returned after questioning the judgment of the mdg, she also wants to (desperately) win the competition. and yes, all her blind fans who blindly defended her actions are forced to eat back their words recently when she retracted her words in the dreamhouse -- but think about it, would she have felt remorseful and apologized to the finalist girls for the offensive (as deemed by others) entry if she wasnt recalled? i guess we will never know that for sure, but my take on this is that no, she would not have bothered.
verbatim:
"... and yeah.. i dont know, ever since i join the competition and i realized that i did a mistake, which i am not going to repeat, so..."
~ spoken by her in MDG Episode 11, Part 3, aired on 10th April 2008
versus
"Since I’m no longer in the contest, I can start bitching already! You see, I really am not very happy about the result. I’m not at all disappointed that I didn’t get in, after all I didn’t think I deserve a place in the top 12 since I actually think that the judges were blind when they let me through the first audition."
~ written by her back on 22 February 2008
she "apparently" only realized her mistake after she rejoined the competition? I dunno about you guys, but when i read/hear someone saying in explicit terms that he/she is writing to bitch about something that involves other people, then it hints to me that your entry is more than likely to be offensive right off the bat.
faux pas indeed. but nobody held a gun to her temple. ringo dug her own grave. enough said.
liar liar pants on fire.
(for christ's sake, in all honesty, elaine daly doesnt even really care to know her saddest moment, she just want to see how spontaneous is she in answering question and the way she approaches it or even better, how did she eventually overcome it and become a stronger person as a result)
really, i cant blame elaine daly for disliking ringo, when ringo herself gave such an answer to totally brush-off elaine daly who is one of the JUDGES for the competition. tell me, would you give a similar answer to (brush-off) your job interviewer when you are asked behavioral questions?
i havent voted yet so far but i shall vote for ah lian if she makes it to the top 2/3.
i think that YOU should compete against these girls..
haha..
i sure would vote for you!! :D
sigh, just another popularity contest.
imo, i think Jay is the most deserving to be the first MDG! :D
u're right about ringo though, she needs to stop hiding.
I'm not a fan of Hanis when they're doing the interviews, etc. She's way too saccharine sweet for my liking. But whenever she starts working it on the runway or fashion shoots, that's when I start to sit up...
Go Jay!!
If Ringo wins (or don't get eliminated soon), this show will lose all it's credibility. Sorry to say that... not that she's not attractive, she is, but just far from model quality compared to all the rest!! Again, she IS attractive. =)
Btw, dunno if u noticed, when you writing about Adeline u got a few grammer mistakes. You mix wif her too much adi! =p Wahahaahah...
I won't be surprised if she didn't get enough votes cos of her endless rants about cindy...
Just for the record, I'm not defending Cindy, cos I don't like her much too... *chuckles*
And Hanis is oh-so-sweet !
Well I think Jay really has what it takes to become a great model! she speaks well, great manners, broad shoulders and she's nt pretentious at all! :D
The point is. Why is Sazzy judging, when she is supposed to be the host? And why are the judges playing the roles of teachers, instead of judging?
I WANT HER BACK.. Is it possible to have her back?
Next goes to Hanis, I want her to kick the other girls' ass.
And Joanne was so gorgeous. She transformed so much from high school. Li Tim and i couldn't even recognized her on the runway!!
and why is cindy still on!! she should have left LONG ago. she cant catwalk and her pictures are terrible. sigh
It's time to wake up and vote for the right one....
oh well, guess i'll start supporting jay now.. not that it matters since i can't vote (not living in msia).
i must agree about all the other comments about how the competition works. i think it's unfair to eliminate the girls through public voting. the judges should really be the one doing that. why else are they the judges?
if they really want to use public votes, at least allow the public to see the final outcomes for each photoshoot. all we get to see is their personal life in the house and brief shots of their photoshoot sessions. personality is important, but this is a MODEL search. someone with the best personality may not have the best modelling talent. the public should be able to see the photos from the photoshoots BEFORE voting, not after. it's just so pointless.
as for the judges.. what's their role in this really? i thought they would have a much bigger role. i enjoy kennysia's blog, but i'm not sure if he makes much of a judge. he does represent the everyman, but not so much of the fashion industry, which is ultimately, what the winner will be working in.
i love ringo's blog, but like others, i just find her too quiet on the show. she doesn't stand out as much as the others. i still believe she deserves a chance in the competition though. despite being short, she does have consistently good photos, and she knows what kind of clothing/fashion suits her best. i just think she needs to allow that bubbly online personality of hers pop out on the show. as much as i like her, it's probably true that the reason she hasn't been eliminated is because of her blogging fans.
haha sorry for the long comment. i just need to express my opinions as none of my friends over here in nz watches the show.
and i thought her photoshoot pics came out nice.. especially the wella one..
GAH!! i still can't believe she's out!!! T__T
seeing that she's already out, now i'm rooting for Jay..
i must say though, this has become more of a popularity contest.. *sigh*
but y are u dressed so formal-lah?
im gonna vote for Hanis :)
shes soooo sweett :P
as for ringo, I totally agree with what you said. She needs to start outshining the other girls to convince us she's not just there because of her giant group of voters. still, she must be going through a hard time now with people rounding up on her with such harsh comments.
jay is definitely the real model material, hanis is my dreamgirl.. the rest i dun-remember-who. -_-
And YES, I have no idea why the judges don't judge at all, it's just infuriating to see the competition dwindle into a popularity contest! Actually, not even a popularity contest, 'cause apparently there are people who are voting to keep cindy in to spite cindy-haters (read this from the comments on her blog) o_O They should base it on like 50% of public votes, and 50% of judges' scores or something like that; if not, where is the credibility in the show!!!
And eh, seriously, is there anyway to petition for them to bring Fiqa back in.. T___T
And Hanis and Jay, really, are the best of the lot. Their most recent photoshoot also screams this idea.
In the right order, from best to worst:
Hanis
Jay
Cindy
Nadia
Adeline
Ringo
Cindy's better than Nadia, at least in my honest opinion. No matter how much Nadia seems to be trying, her recent pictures have all turned out looking exactly the same. And while I used to think she was sexy, I've recently found her to be quite unattractive and uses the "pout" waaay too much.
Ringo.. well. I think she's a really sweet girl, but she's really not model material! If this show was "Malaysian Sweethearts" , it'll be a different story.
So now all I've got are Jay, and Nadia. Come on who else doesn't display attitude and set standards like them both. Hanis just doesn't cut it. She's real good but no way near Jay.
Come on don't disappoint me like Malaysian Idol!
even if either hanis or jay doesnt win the mdg title, due to some blind bimbotic votes dedicated to the most undeserving person, (needless to say, with the least modeling potential), we know who we can ACTUALLY expect to see to make it big in future MIFA shows and other modeling gigs as the fashion bigwigs know better
in this competition, the winner is not necessarily the winner, the loser is not necessarily the loser, thanks to the screwed-up sms voting system that retain the undeserving girls in the dreamhouse.
As for now, i will choose Cindy.
with your experience (of taking pics) i'm sure it'd been fun and exciting!
I also agree with your point about the judges having to have more say in the contestants in addition to being great teachers. I wonder what Kenny Sia will be teaching them about though ;)
Lastly, the show's improved but there's definitely room for improvement, good luck to the production crew!
doubt she's gonna win it with so much hate for her, but damn- she's smoking hot!
i think since MDG is already kind of copying ANTM's concept, why don't they just 'copy' everything? just my 2 cents...
I'm following So You Think You Can Dance in Australia now and the judges for the show do a tremendous job in helping ordinary viewers like me who have no clue about dancing to appreciate the finer aspects of it. What appears on tv to be a simple flip is actually very challenging and without the judges to pinpoint that, I would have blindly commented that it was a lacklustre routine.
So yes, we should urge the judges to play a bigger role in MDG so that the voters know what is really going on.
on another hand, right hand preferably, i dont think any of the remaining contestant are good enough to be a runaway model? except for jay, perhaps. but others are just... pbbhhht.
I think HANIS and JAY are fabulous!
Nadia has a great, no wait, scratch that, AMAZING body, but her pictures... arent all that great... unfortunately.
Nadia shows that she really wants it, and she actually studies the stage and all. but somehow, Nadia reminds me of MELROSE from ANANTM. sorta.
Hanis has the looks of a model, and she seems to have grown alot from the start of the show til now.
Jay... carries herself the best. She's great. She's really mature and seems easy to get along with. good qualities for a model.
btw, I love Hanis' look. Her pictures in my opinion were always nice! :) Jay varies from time to time. Maybe its just me, but I adore Hanis' look... as a model.
WEll, basically im commenting here bcuz i was BAN FROM "LALALAND.com" for making some negative comments about the so call "bimbo aka LALA"
U GUYS are ABSOLUTELY right! If she ever become MALAYSIAN DREAM GIRL... GEE.. its such a disgrace for us Malaysian girls.. i think next time i might need to put a plastic bag over my head when i go out...
In my perspective, the only reason why RINGO is back on TOP 12 is because of the Marketing Scheme of the PRoduction Team, after all, this is an online reality show.. wutz a better marketing tool than to have a blogger inside with gazillion no. of fans.. who has no other life than waiting for the newest episode by the comp every single day??
It's so obvious that the reason why Ringo was brought back because its the very first MDG show, and producers are obviously afraid that there will not be enough people oogling over their laptop to watch their oh-so-great-idol!!
Honestly, i don't see anything in Ringo that is worth being look up too. She's short, not pretty (refraining myself from using the word "fugly"), bimbo, pretencious, hypocrite!!
Just because she has a famous blog (i dun even know why), all her blinded "fans" are so crazy over her "funny" post.. And thus, they are down on their knees praying her like a god.. OMG.. What is wrong with Msians.. To call myself a Msian, i feel so ashame of it!!
As for Adeline, i dun understand why she can make it so far!! To say that Ringo has no quality in her (ok, maybe she's "cute" and ppl like it.. Bimbo fans).. But Adeline.. She looks so stoned and blur in and out of photoshoots.. Except for the fact that she's tall.. I really don't see what's so great about her.. She look just like any other girls u can c in Sg Wang... I really wonder why she gets so many votes every week.. Is Sg Wang promoting her?? I won't know.. I'm not in Msia..
Now, I hv to consider about Jay and Hanis.
and now fiqa's out, practically there's no reason for me to watch anymore.
I thought u are personally quite close wif ringo?
u are truly a good friend. "real" good friend.
i bet she will be really sad when she sees what u wrote about her. but u can juz stop "pretending" to be nice in front of her in future right?erm...even Sweat...cannot even remember her name?? wow, a bunch of good friends.
Anyway SA, hope you got what you want.
'Jay For MDG!!! how come nobody vote for Jay despite so many ppl agreed that Jay deserves to win!!! It’s time to wake up guys!!!! Jay was in the bottom three for so many times in these show and she was nearly eliminated in the new episode!!!! Please vote for Jay!!! Seriously…since the vote was accumulated, Jay has the lowest votes, thus there must be many votes that goes in to make her into top 3! Jay is going to leave the show next week if nobody take any action!'
guess what, it's awaiting MODERaTION... WTH... what r u trying 2 do, ringo?
isnt it ironic? spend thousands of RM for SMS, then get a ambank check that is worth as much back (if she wins). it is as if she doesnt have any net gain of $$ at all
but OH, we forget the car.... lol
Hello?!??! As if she doesn’t know she has an entire troop of lala supporters who hog her blog every single second, wasting their every single cent voting for her so that malaysia’s first dreamgirl is indeed a nightmare!!!
i was like WTF??!?!?! cant really believe some ppl could pretend to that extent.
she's such a goddamn professional faker.
she din even acknowledge that her fans spend so much money to support her so that she can win the MDG title... utter hypocrisy
how come the whole world can be aware of where the primary source of her votes come from except herself? is she really that oblivious? -_-
considering she is aware that 1) she has self-promoting entries on her blog with help from mr bbq since early march, 2) she read the entries and comments periodically using the limited internet time at dreamhouse.
no need to buat bodoh to that extent right?
*reallly fear for her safety next time when she doesnt even know that her office building is on fire while all her co-workers in the building have long evacuated
kinda starting to feel sorry for her
i'm currently rooting for jay and hanis =)
Hanis has never been in the bottom three either... i hope she gets it... but i'm voting for Jay... she has the complete package... her batik shoot wasn't too good though... probably frustration that no matter what she does Cindy and Ringo are goig to top her... unfairly at that....
the depending on wholely on SMS was a bad idea... i know generates income and all that... but still there are some major errors made by the production team....
Su Ann.. don't the official bloggers have any say on how things are run???
