I spent this weekend by watched the traveling and culinary programs in television. It’a a good program which worth to seen for people whom have a nice fantasy about going outside (is it for take a break, for have a good food, for have a good vacation, for have a good experience and etc) but never plan and take action for make it real. I just watched, but it’s enough to increased my happiness index.ย
Especially for traveling programs, they shown the beautifull place from Indonesia and other country. Actually, I enjoyed it, even the cameraman shot the host often than the view. I don’t blame the cameraman, but at least they must show us (as viewer) the view of destination to teasing us, to make us feel so envy, to make us curious, to make us dream about it and going there. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable if they shot the host too much, I want to see the view!!!. If the situation is bored like that, I always thought there’s no different by the sinetron with great a background.
However, no matter how I hate the bored part of that program, I still love and always watched until finish. I’m appreciated to the crew whom went so far for tried so hard to make us satisfy. I’m appreciated to their research which brought us into the new place. I’m appreciated to the cameraman whom presented the great view in my screen. I’m appreciated to the editor whom make it perfect. I’m appreciated to the host whom dressed up so well and gave a little comment about that place before went with smile. Also, I’m appreciated to the dubber whom explained more clearly about the destination. Thank you!!!
Culinary program is the second place in my list (and the temptest program in Ramadhan). There is nothing wrong with culinary program, but I have a big concern about it, at least please consider from the viewer side.ย
We (me and mom) watched the culinary program whom hosted by an amateur woman, she is beautifull, talkactive, had a good pronounciation for say the name of food and the bar or restaurant which deserved it, had a good communication with manager and waitress, had a big curiousity and etc. But those are dissapeard while she shown how she ate … iyyuuhhh!!!
She is came to the sate stand and make an order for mushroom sate and vegetable sate. Then she pick a seat with a man who sat alone and she start the conversation in (over) action. The order arrived, she pick one sate and tasted, OMG!!! I can’t describe how she ate likes nobody watching without a little bit of shame of her act, too disturbing … and disguisting …. eewww!!!
Then, she came to the Thailand food stand, choose the menu and waiting the order. She explain to us (the viewer) about the food she order with fully mouth, Hey! finish your food then talk!!! I hate the way she used smell the food, I hate the way she used the tongue for reach the food, I hate the way she cleaned up her dirty mouth, I hate the way she ate!!! WHY? WHY? WHY? why ย they choosed her? my appetite dissapeard as soon as she cleaned the plate.
Here is my mom comment while watched her.
My mom : “Itu presenter acara makan-makan (kuliner) kok jelek banget makannya”
Me : “Waktu interviewnya gak dites makan mah…”
My mom : “Masa sih? liat itu sampe monyong-monyong gitu”
Me : “Ya kan yang nginterviewnya juga gak tau kalau (cara) makannya kaya gitu”
My mom : “Harusnya ya, kalau acara kaya gitu (kuliner) yang dipilih tu yang bagus (cara) makannya”
Me : “Iyah, harusnya sih kaya gitu”
My mom : “Terus ya, kalau jelek gitu mah jangan direkam pas makannya”
Me : “Iya Mah, jadi males liatnya juga”
My mom : “Udah ah, ganti, ganti (channel) ke yang lain”
Come on … as host she’s isn’t ate for herself, she ate for viewers, all viewers whom watched her, all viewers in Indonesia!!! As the host at least she make us starving and searching more about the food, not make us annoying with her manner and change the channel. Please see as viewer side. I thought, I’m watched an amateur video whom shown how to ate your food shameless.
My only ADVISE for the HRD department of every television whom has a culinary program : Please make an eating test for the host and choose the right one who, beautifullness and communication skill are useless without the manner.ย
I’m not a professional, I’m not a televison program criticus, I’m not traveling expert, I’m not culinary expert, I’m just a television user whom dissapointed by culinary program host.ย
