Who¡¦s The Biggest Spoiler Now?
After all the hoo-hah 8TV made about spoilers, they ended up being the biggest spoilers themselves. That¡¦s what you call ¡§shooting yourself in the foot¡¨. I was totally shocked and extremely disappointed at the news article that appeared in the Showbiz section of The Malay Mail on Thursday 15th June 2006, the very next day after the studio recording of OIAM Top 10 Show, declaring the entire list of 10 finalists with a group picture to boot. A similar news article was seen a few weeks earlier in the same paper when the Top 20 were finalized, and now this. And they had the audacity to reprimand the negligible number of contestants who spoke about their experiences from the show in the forums. What are you guys doing? You just killed the show for most of us. And worse of all we were initially accused of being spoilers.
I am genuinely surprised that they actually made such a premature expose. Did someone in the organization goof up? Or did the ever hounding entertainment paparazzi manage a coup. Will someone in the know care to elaborate?
As for the rest of us, I guess the oomph has now gone. Maybe we will take a break from watching the show until the live episodes go on air. Who knows we may even get the results in The Malay Mail even before the live final episode goes on air (as in the Celcom advert for FIFA WCS where the English goalie receives the latest score via sms). I can already see the head lines now, ¡§Wildcard Suki Trumps Dayang To Win OIAM¡¨.
