WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

Television programming in Southeast Asia is at an all time low as channels are carrying reject programming from the United States that failed to last what is considered a successful five season run. Many of the series telecast over the past five seasons have had only a short run of one season or a trial limited episode trial period. Much of that undesired programming has been aired on the Fox Television Network owned Star World channel.

There are three series that gained our attention currently airing in the first quarter of 2015. One of those is The Apartment Celebrity Edition now in its 4th season. The series premiered January 25th but we caught after several episodes had been televised. We have viewed this series in the past finding it entertaining and repulsive at the same time. The entertaining part is the behavior of the primarily Asian contestants that have a strong western mentality.

The acrid part is the superior attitude of one of the judges and his condescending communication which is passed off as humor towards the contestants. The celebrities involved are not widely known and we could only identify with one, model/actress Paula Taylor who was born in Thailand and raised in Australia. She previously appeared in the Amazing Race Asia, season 2.

Former Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih is the only other contestant that might be known in the United States. Fakih is very outspoken, demanding and loud. Taylor is more laid back but cunning having already made enemies with her teammate actress/model Lucy Clarkson-Demo.

The show has three teams that do interior modeling for their designated home. Each week they decorate a different room. Each team has a captain. The team rated by the judges as having the worst designed room is subject to elimination. The captain of that team then suggests who on their team they feel did the least to contribute. Two episode ago Taylor nominated Clarkson-Demo who was shocked by her choice since she felt they were friends.

Last week Taylor was setting up Clarkson-Demo to fail since she let her go on with a painting a green tree on an orange wall that she felt was terrible. That project that drew negative opinions from the judges thus t was deemed the worst design of the three teams.

The rude lead judge saved Clarkson-Demo and eliminated their teammate Justin Bratton. Bratton drew ire from the judge that eliminated him when he criticized the judges' taste is wardrobe style in noting that the loud designs of the judges jacket was inside out inferring that the jacket's outside was better suited as lining for the inside.

That judge then told both Taylor and Clarkson-Demo that they were demonstrating childish behavior and having set up a situation tat they would have to get along and work together or he would eliminate them both. That is the drama set up for tonight's episode and others going forward.

This show is a worth watch as the cast is attractive and feisty thus creating some interesting dynamics in human behavior. We recommend this as a WORTH WATCH based on the entertainment and observation of human behavior value.

The Apartment Celebrity Edition airs Sunday nights in the Southeast Asian region on the Star World channel. Check your local listings and the schedule below for the time in your area. The show also is repeated several times throughout the week.
