If we try hard enough, all of us can hear our mother’s voice admonishing us to wear our best pair of underwear whenever we leave the house. There is always a tale of looming doom painted by the what if scenarios that all mothers can weave so well. What if you are in an accident! What if you end up in the hospital! What if you have to give a stranger the clothes off your back!
For all mothers it seems their worse nightmare is for their child to be found with torn underwear on one of these unlikely occasions. I am absolutely sure that no one’s mother has ever used the what if you had to go on stage to mock a model scenario before. However, I am sure that Pull Bois’ (can there be incorrect spellings for nicknames? I wonder) mother was well proud of her son’s choice of underwear last night. Imagine the poor woman’s consternation if the drawers had been holey. Imagine yours and mine.
Thankfully he had taken the advise the wear his best drawers. That allowed him to offer some comic relief on a night where it felt like being at the tent was like a visit to your favorite dentist. What had been advertised as the most entertaining tent of the season was anything but last night. The MC of the night seemed to be making a deliberate attempt to antagonize the small audience by mispronouncing every other word, telling the most atrocious jokes and just being horrible. The calypsonians were okay I guess, but after having been ‘tackanized’ by the MC I was less than inclined to be kind to any of them.
I was even less inclined to give any slack to the free lance model of swim wear who was flopping gracelessly across the stage. That is until Pull Bois pulled the stunt of the season. He had disrobed and was following the model on the stage. I tell you..she had nothing on him.
So $30000 and five quarter finalist later, Spectrum Tent is over for this season.
