A Different Kind of Reality

The G7 guests of INVINCIBLE YOUTH Season Two

Not really big on Reality Television (though I'm a HUGE fan of the AMAZING RACE, as readers of my other blog know well) but I have to say that when my friend Shanomac told me about a program called INVINCIBLE YOUTH where they choose seven idol girls to go work and live in the harsh countryside to experience a new side of life, it DID sound like something I'd wanna see! And then when he told me that this season's show featured not only Sunny and Hyoyeon from Girls Generation, but cutie-pie Jiyoung from KARA, it suddenly became a MUST SEE!

Placing eight beautiful girls (collectively called G8) in the middle of "the sticks" and putting them to hard work can be both hilarious and uncomfortable to watch, and there are times when I feel like the judges and foremen selected to arrange the tasks can be selectively favoring some of the members while giving some others REALLY hard work, but there as so many fun and interesting scenes to it as well, that you always end up enjoying the show!

The G7 guests of INVINCIBLE YOUTH Season One

By the time I got to the episode where the girls are taken out to the ocean to catch their first seafood (with a Biggest Crab challenge), it had become my nightly television show to watch before I turned in for the night!  Then during the talk part of that episode, one of the hosts mentioned that Season ONE of Invincible youth featured both Yuri from SNSD AND Hara from KARA! Can you say HOLY CRAP, I NEED TO GET THAT SHOW, TOO!!!

Have to say that this show is a wonderful way to get to know these girls better and quite intimately ( you don't get much more personal than watching Hara scoot around trying to find the best squatting pose to pee in a hole in the ground! LOL) and after each show ends, I come away falling more and more in love with them, especially Yuri in the Season One show. Additionally, I'm getting to know all the girls form K-pop's other prolific girl groups: SECRET, JEWELRY, BROWN-EYED GIRLS, MISS A, F(X), T-ARA, SISTAR, RAINBOW and more, there's at least one girl representing all of them! What a great introduction to those other acts!
