Anyone catch this K show on TV Sun mornings? It's a bunch of Korean celebs that choose songs from an 'automated' norae-bang machine. Once a star botches a song, they're gone. The remaining competitors go through elimination rounds until an 'MVP' is crowned. The MVP goes on to the end-of-the-season battle royale. I'm a pretty avid follower of the show.

On a recent episode, half of the stars were easily eliminated in the first round and the Wondergirls seemed to steel the show. Even the camera guys couldn't even seem to unglue their lenses from the girls. They passed through pretty easily. One of the boy bands featured couldn't even nail the new Wondergirl's hit 'Tell Me' which seemed to be handpicked by the directors of the show. Perhaps this was just a particularly weak group this go around. All hail the Wondergirls.

That's just my beef. I doubt that this observation will permeate into the Korean news outlets. However, you heard it here first.

Anyone here seen the show? I hope you can enjoy my observations.

What are you sayin', dude?

Just like Super Junior, the Wondergirls are everywhere. You can't escape them.

So why did you put the word 'rigged' in the thread title? Do you think they cheated? Since you're an avid follower of the show and saw the episode, did you hear any off-notes or mistakes?

They're pretty girls. Nothing wrong with just looking at pretty girls.

They're 14.

They can't even get a tampon up there. That's why we have laws and society frowns upon pervy old guys perving on them.

Two are 15, two are 18 and one is 19.

Still nothing wrong with looking at a girl. Otherwise, every straight guy over 12 would be in jail. Big difference between looking and touching.
