I’m still in the middle of watching both Seasons One and Two of INVINCIBLE YOUTH (and will be for awhile- did you know that Season One alone had 58 episodes? WHOA!) and have come to believe that as far as reality shows go, it’s one of the very best shows out there!
There’s always something fun and interesting going on with those beautiful Idol girls, watching them working hard in the woods or fields for their daily meals, playing games for treats at the end of the day, or helping the town elders with things like cooking or taking them to the doctor, their wide-eyed innocence and big-hearted generosity makes you just fall in love with them and then you suddenly find that when you’re not watching the show, you really miss them!
More than anything else, though, the thing that always makes you leave the show with a warm and melancholy feel is the awesome ending credits. While the girls are performing their errands and chores every day, a photographer is always on hand to document their duties, and each episode ends with a montage of some of the best photos set up against the song “It’s All About You” by English Pop band McFly. I’m telling you, the beautiful and gentle images accompanied by the simple and optimistic song gives you SUCH a warm and fuzzy feeling, I find myself misty eyed at the close of every episode!
They were to replicate this formula in Seson Two of Invincible Youth, with the equally sweet and gentle Paul McCartney Beatles’ song “I Will” accompanying the same heartwarming photo images, guaranteeing that at least for now, the girls of G8 will continue to capture the world of reality TV and beyond!
