Alright - Reality TV news.
The first season of Australia's So You Think You Can Dance has finished and quite deservingly Jack won. But let's not forget that Demi got to the finals and represented!
Saw a few b-boy friends of mine performing in the finale with Khaly which was pretty sweet.

"Big Brother" is a show that I despise with almost every nerve in my body. A show full of ignorant bogans? No wonder it's doing so well in Australia! This year there's a guy in it called Nobbi. So far everyone's giving him crap for his name and for the fact that he scratches himself. My question is, which guy in BB hasn't scratched himself? Why the hypocrisy? Oh wait... I know... because he's Asian. Maybe he's just hung low. I hope the shower scenes will finally dispel a particularly annoying mythical stereotype.

Usually, when I see an Asian guy on television, I'm glued to the screen... but in this case - I really can't force myself to watch more than 1 minute. It's painful. BB is television at its worse. I heard there was a racist old hag (who idolises disgraced "politician" Pauline Hanson) who got voted off, but apparently made Nobbi sleep outside, away from the others. Her reason? He's "touchy feely". What does that even mean? *Cough* RACIST *Cough*

Okay, now for some awesome news. South Korean B-boy crew - Gamblers has been signed up to star in Paramount's latest dance movie, "Hype Nation". They were also featured in the recent documentary by Benson Lee - Planet B-boy.
REPRESENT!

What? Asians on television being good at something other than academics?

So You Think You Can Dance Australia has a few Asian Australian (and Eurasian) faces. Tonight one of them went home (the crowd booed - so did I). B-boy Khaly of Cabramatta was voted off despite a lot of support in the crowd. In any case, there are still a few Asians left - so keep on cheering for them!

Woah man, I've been out of it for a while. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I'm back to once again enrich this world with awesome Asian goodness.

In Australia, I caught the final episode of "Thank God You're Here" for this year and was pleasantly surprised to find Anh Do in it. I also notice that he's on "Dancing with the Stars" too. This is a show that I refused to watch after Pauline Hanson was on it. To even consider that racist disgraced "politician" (well technically she wasn't even a politician) a "celebrity" is an insult to intelligence. Nevertheless, now that Anh is on it, I may consider watching it to root for him. He's so awesome!

The loveable bboy Hokuto "Hok" Konishi on "So You Think You Can Dance" (season 3) didn't make it to the top 10, but top 12 is still something to be very proud of. Someone uploaded a video of Hok sending himself off like a true performer.

Apparently Hok is now dating one of the other contestants from SYTYCD, but it's not Jaimie... it's Lacey. ( --> Link ^^) Don't know how that happened, but... keep representing brother! (To my American readers: you probably know who won but please don't tell us! We're always behind in Australia!)
