Budiey
Sepertimana yang Budiey khabarkan sebelum ini, program realiti The Biggest Loser Asia musim kedua akan menemui penonton dengan peserta yang baru pada 21 September 2010 ini di saluran DIva Universal jam 9 malam.
Dengarnya, jumlah peserta ujibakat meningkat untuk musim kedua. Mungkin ramai yang telah sedar bahawa program realiti TV yang penuh dengan drama untuk menguruskan badan ini berjaya terhasil. Lihat sahaja juara dan finalis musim lalu yang telah kekal langsing. Juara David Gurnani yang dah lupuskan berat badan sebanyak 83kg dan berjaya membawa pulang USD100,000 dan sebuah kereta. Tapi ada peserta dari Malaysia yang kini makin berisi badannya. Biasalah, Malaysia kan kaya dengan makanan. Tambahan pula di bulan Ramadan ini, banyak sekali makanan lazat juadah berbuka dijual di Bazar Ramadan.
Kalau sebelum ini, Budiey ada khabarkan hos baru The Biggest Loser Asia musim kedua ini diberi mandat kepada hos baru iaitu Marion Caunter. Dan kini, Budiey mahu mendedahkan pula siapa peserta yang akan berlumba-lumba menguruskan badan mereka.
Nah, sekarang Budiey dedahkan 16 finalis untuk The Biggest Loser Asia 2 dimulakan dengan 3 orang peserta dari Malaysia iaitu…
