For the past three days, I’ve been in the same room with other prospective show hosts from 10 am ‘till 6 pm. As much as I hate to admit it, I seem to be ‘bigger’ than everyone else and I do mean everyone else, including the male ones. That bothers me a bit.
That is not to say they are prettier than me. They are just so small. When we go on lunch breaks, some can eat more than I do but their physical form is just tiny! God can be so unfair sometimes! Some even snack on junk food all day long and they don’t seem to gain an ounce. Eventually, either I will have to give up on becoming just like them or the network will have to make peace with the way I am physically.
Y'know, I was already on red alert because of my soon approaching 31st birthday. Now as a prospective show host on a home shopping network, I think I need to get in shape before the launch date. The pressure is high!
The question is: How Small Can I Possibly Become Physically? Just look at the picture above. I think that's the smallest I have ever been in my life. Is that good enough for TV and the viewers?
I think I age well. I actually look better as I get older. That’s a good thing, right?
The training classes started on Monday. Since TV is very much a collective effort, show hosts and producers will have to work closely. Therefore, we were all in the training courses together. Later on, we’ll probably spilt up and match one producer with two show hosts as a team. It’s too early to tell which show host has chemistry with which producer.
Everyday I am learning something new about home shopping. TV is one thing and TV shopping is something else. Yesterday we watched home shopping programs from Korea, China and of course, the US. It seems to me that the US market must have more mature consumers than the rest of the world because such as QVC or HSN has a more laid-back style. The rest just seem like variety shows.
This is funny! The thought of feeling stuck scares me from the beginning and it still does even though it’s a done deal - there is no turning back now. I never managed to keep the same boyfriend for more than 2 years and how am I supposed to stay put for 3?!?!
