project runway malaysia

watched my first episode of project runway malaysia yesterday (8tv, 9.30p.m., friday). am a real sucker for reality shows...my brother included because he was the one who tuned into the channel and got me into watching. we watched janice dickinson models inc as well following that. hahha.
back to malaysia's version of project runway. it is interesting to see budding stylists and designers undergoing tasks after tasks to view for the title. however, what i want to talk about here is not the designs (what do i know anyway...shopping for clothes that suit me i know lah). what caught my attention was how haggard bernie chan looked on the show. i dun mean to be mean here, but i just can't help noticing how droopy her skin is. ok..maybe she just did not look taut in this particular episode. today she is featured in star section2 and you can see her nicely touched-up photos there. how different they are from the real her in front of the camera. i guess all those photoshops did wonders on anyone. will see how she is in the next episode.
one irony of the show is, they are trying to make that very bilingual. the Q & A session with the contestants is done in mostly BM. heck even bernard chandran and bernie chan asked questions in the national language and one can imagine how careful they are when articulating the questions and phrasing them. haha.
bernie chan said "tahniah, anda melayakkan ke pusingan seterusnya."
however, when it comes to discussion time among the judges, they are soooo much more comfortable in english and this discussion among them is carried out solely in english alone. why not have this part in 2 languages as well??
anyway, at the end of the show, it is the designs and the winner that matters but all these flaws make it more interesting to keep watching the show. haha. how ironic.:P
