Honestly, I felt the same way when I first saw the PCK/TAR promo. But to be fair, we really can't blame the station. Firstly, Ch5 doesn't know much about what goes on in the episode. They only knew who the artistes from MediaCorp r involved in the filming but only a select few from the production crew members knew where it was filmed and what had occurred and they were bounded by the US$10m confidentiality clause. When I was still working in the station in Sept, I had to sign a confidentiality contract too ,simply because I knew that the TAR team had come to Singapore [and that was the only thing i knew!!] Therefore, the Ch5 promotion team could only focussed on the only concrete thing they knew..that PCK would be on the show and that of coz that TAR would be in S'pore. Also, the choice of using PCK as part of the detour was one of the many suggestions offered by the station to the creators of the show when they came to S'pore and it was up to the creators whether they wanted to use him. Anyway, I think it's only fair that we watch the episode tomorrow and make our judgement about whether Singapore is well-portrayed in the show before dissing Ch5...We should be glad that the show has chosen to come to Singapore actually. I've actually read some postings in some tv forums where Singaporeans actually queried why their country was chosen as a TAR locale stating tt Singapore is too small/boring/sterile. Bah! Anyway, remember - The 2 hour Amazing Race at 7:30pm tomorrow!! MUST WATCH!!
Read in the papers that Joe Augustine from Power98 has left the station. I think
Got a gynae appointment at 4pm later. Should be able to get the 3D pic of the babe today *cross fingers*...
