Reality TV gone wrong.
The Straits Times has reported on the case of a man who ended up on a Popstars-style Chinese show, but then wasn’t able to get off it again. Here’s an excerpt:
‘His lack of enthusiasm played out in half-hearted singing, rapping and dancing alongside the other, more eager contestants. Performing under the stage name Lelush, he urged the public to vote him out, saying he did not want to be among the 11 winners of the show, who are contractually obliged to form a boy band.
“Don’t love me, you’ll get no results,” he said on one episode. But viewers took to his dour persona and kept him in the running for nearly three months.
