When people join contests and win, they should be ready to accept the unrelenting attention given to them whenever and wherever they are. There is no point in joining a widely popular contest, gaining exposure, and then, shunning every day encounters with ordinary folk.

Sometime ago, towering beauty (TB) went to a bank to transact some financial concerns. By that time, TB had already won so much prestige for the country, and thus, recognizing her was unavoidable. As she reached the counter, TB transacted her business with the teller facing sideways. Of course, the teller did not immediately recognize TB, and had to ask shyly if TB was that beauty queen. Instead of smiling, TB retorted, “I’m in a hurry.” The teller got the message and TB left hurriedly.

Among the latest crop of models and talents who have captured the crown in beauty contest, TB was admired because of her academic achievements and self-confidence. Nonetheless, these same qualities have been pinpointed as the cause of her lack of good public relations. After all, her life did not hinge on building a career in entertainment, as she seemed bent on practicing her profession.

When showbiz knocked at her door, which was common for beauty contest winners, TB was unable to deter the media. Every so often, the media would realize that TB was tired of answering questions, and was on the point of showing irritation. During her reign, part of her private life was revealed and her love life was scrutinized. TB stood by her man, and settled down with him.

Despite her achievements, the detached attitude of TB will always pale in comparison with other contest winners who continue to nurture their ties and play along with the media and the public.

So Lost without an Idiot Board

Looks are often associated with certain expectations. On the one hand, beautiful celebrities are often expected to be articulate and ready with excellent responses in the same way that they project such on screen. On the other hand, performers who are not bestowed with good looks are often thought of as lacking intelligence and ideas that are limited by the slapstick comedy they often perform. However, the true test of intelligence and wit is not in looks, but in spontaneity and stereotypes are often wrong.

Two actress-models, AM1 and AM2, proved looks were not enough to captivate a select audience comprising of young and articulate boys. Obviously, AM1 and AM2 were chosen to be the hosts to excite the boys and make them have a memorable time in the event. Both AM1 and AM2 appear regularly as hosts in various television shows and play various roles in movies, and thus, expectations were high.

What is not known is if the organizers were aware of stories of the problems AM1 has in following the idiot board during her hosting stints. Lucky for her, the production continues to give her the opportunities to hone her skills. By contrast, AM2 seems to be a smoother host despite the accent that comes with her upbringing in a foreign land.

During the said event, the boys got bored with AM1 and AM2, and like typical high school students, they started to be noisy and irritated. Apparently, AM1 and AM2 got lost in their spiels, as they did not have the usual script and even gadgets to guide them. In terms of spontaneity, they failed to make the connection with the audience. Of course, it did not help that AM1 came from the rival school. Hence, the following year, the organizers deemed it was best to ask a new female sports figure (SF), who comes from the same school, to host the said annual event. SF was such a hit and the boys, this time, had a blast.
