Wickedly Perfect?

Interested on reality TV shows? Wickedly perfect is one of the reality-based TV shows which I’m fond of. The show is all about doing a masterpiece out of the guidelines, materials and time given. Different people from all walk of life especially those whose jobs are in the design (interior decorator, painter, etc.), are mostly in the show. They are grouped into two in which they would work on a certain area, a barren land for example, and make it as nice as possible. Aside from the group project that they would make, they would also create an individual project based also on the given instructions. These are important because if their group won’t win, their individual project would determine if they would be nominated by the judge and unfortunately, go home. Their group mates would vote the person which they think, had helped and contributed the most.

There was a time when they are assigned to create a family park of their own choice of design. The teams were given a barren lot, equipments for transporting sand and gravel like back hoe and a time limit of twenty-four hours. Each person was given a small plant which they would trim and also choose a specific design.

If you are into creative and art field like me, the TV show said above would be appropriate for you. I even made a bag out of old jeans! There was a time when they are to make a short show in which they are to create a decorative or useful work of art. I got the idea from one of the final seven contestants of the reality search. One time, I saw a pair of jeans and my mother was to put it as a rag. I told her not to and I cut it and start working with it until I finished it.

Some people say that reality TV shows are scripted but for me, they are wrong. If you really watch every inch of the show, you would see how the participants manage their time by not sleeping just to finish their work. You would also be amazed on how a certain person uses his or her skills in making a beautiful piece of art. Even their quarrels among the contestants are shown. For example, person A has commented on the work of person B and person B took it personally and tells the story to person C and person C told person A and the whole thing went on and on until the quarrel grows and there would be a fight against them. This would be a bad sign for the team cooperation could be affected and each person might not agree on the planned thing to do. And this is what they call as scripted? They must think twice or they must watch first before they judge it. It’s not only a reality search but also a show which makes us realize the different talents and skills within us.
