Canary in the Mine

When two homosexuals tried it on in the recent dance competition programme aired on Prime TV earlier this year, they were promptly culled by the judges. Sadly, NZ audiences were not quite so discriminating. Despite looking like a sack of spuds being wheeled around the floor, Georgina Beyers was lauded by the kiwi voters. The judges got it about right in Round 1, but succumbed to a fit of PC last night, and then the "popular" vote kept her on while the far more able dancer, Nicky Watson, was put out. As the phone-in vote (which is totally unrestricted, so all your friends could keep txting until their fingers fall off) counted for half the marks, two guesses who was orchestrating the campaign for Mr Beyers behind the scenes. Whatever credibility the show had in the beginning -- and with Jason Gunn's hosting style, that was minimal -- it's totally lost now. All I can say is, "go Norm". All your Rugby mates should ensure you have a good chance of being there in the play-offs.
