As stupid as this show was, it brought us all together. We'd leave MSN Messenger to sit in front of our TV screens, send out reminders that the show was on in 5 minutes, and text one another while the show was on. Oli would be rooting for the Indian contestants, and all of us would be screaming in frustration/crying with laughter at Jessy Man Ay Teng's antics. The next day at school, we'd gather and bitch and roar about the drama* that ensued, who got eliminated, etc.

*I remember in one episode, this fat Indian woman teased her fellow contestant, a skinny Malay girl, about her track pants - there were wings imprinted on the seat of the pants, and after some outdoor activities, her pants got soiled. So the Indian woman said, "You have a dirty angel on your backside," which made the Malay girl go berserk and she started screaming and crying. Walao way!

But when we talk about 'Malaysia's Most Beautiful,' only one contestant crops up in the conversation every single time: Jessy Man Ay Teng. How can we forget the contestant who made statements such as...

Even though she didn't win the competition, you can't deny she was the highlight of the show. I bet you, you can't even remember the winner's name :) Well, it's Dilla! And I only know cause I Googled it. The fact that Jessy even made it to the finals is mind-boggling and reeks of suspicion that the game show was rigged for the sake of maintaining an audience. No wonder there wasn't a season 2; the show was plain ridiculous. Yet we were hooked.

When Abby told me who the winner was 5 seconds before they announced it, I thought my TV was lagging and I got so potong stim... But turns out she was only guessing and as usual, she has a knack for predicting the right outcome. Hais, Abby Wabby... You should work for the weather channel.
