"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."
Frankly, there aren't many variety shows from TVB that are as much fun as most Taiwanese variety shows in recent years. I think it's the quick wit that really seperates the Taiwanese hosts from the Hong Kong ones. Probably only that Super Trio series by Eric Tseng came close.
So it's really refreshing that TVB came up with a variety game show which not only had a Hong Kong newbie host, actor Patrick Tang, but also a veteran Taiwanese host-cum-singer Harlem Yu. It's called 味分高下, where celebrities compete in a series of games related to food. Waste of food at times, but it's really fun to watch especially when the celebrities join in the banter and the hilarious situations.
Harlem clearly steals the show with his witty remarks and keen observations of his surroundings, but as a host Patrick Tang does a nice job of complementing him. Tang's still learning I guess, though in the episode where the game was brought to Taiwan, it was quite obvious that in segments where Harlem was present, he was completely overshadowed by his more experienced counterpart.
Nevertheless, hilarious results from one of my favourite episodes...
Fat, love to eat, love to sleep, love movies and TV serials especially TVB, love animals especially my cats, love dancing though got poor coordination between my hands and legs, love theatre but no motvation to pursue it seriously, love to ramble yet have a very poor grasp of the English language - like what is happening now.
