My SP Year 2 Essay: The Big Kahuna
Foreword: They wander around looking for things to do. Sometimes they talk to people, grab a bite, or read a book. They are what we call: People with too much free time. I'm usually fine with such people, but one specimen got on my nerves today; by going overboard.
So there stood a nervous person in front of the camera trying to pull off a god-knows-how-many-pages-long script. This clueless goon had agreed to stand-in for the absent host, mindful that it's a rehearsal and he only had about 3 minutes to scan the script. It wasn't a stellar performance, but acceptable for such things. Somewhere in the middle of recording, in walks the Big Kahuna, otherwise known as specimen #1. It wasn't the best time to witness our 'skills', but i guess he'll understand, just a passer-by after all.
Poo! After the recording, the Big Kahuna was asked to comment out of courtesy. And it was neither encouraging nor constructive. In fact, it was baseless and unneeded. I say unconstructive because specimen #1 was obnoxious. True as the comments were, they were put in a way that irked the living daylights out of me. So he thinks the whole cast were unprofessional - I couldn't disagree more, 2 were stand-ins asked to help not 20 minutes before, and another 2 were guests totally oblivious about tv recordings. But he was annoyingly blasé about his ignorance of the situation at hand. He went on to say things he wouldn't otherwise have said if he knew the real deal. Eventually somebody told him, but the Big Kahuna just couldn't relent. Apparently, he had been a stand-in before and was of course, better - all hail the Big Kahuna! Ironic how professionalism was his crux. Regretful how i merely thought of 101 ways to stomp out of the room like a feather boa-wearing diva with hair up so high it said 'hello' to the studio lights, but didn't actually do so.
In conclusion, i think the Big Kahuna should check his ego at the entrance of the studio, which is used by amateurs 90% of the time. Because not doing so already proved how he made a fool of himself, while the amateurs just feel bad - a terrible lose-lose situation. In other words, do not talk like a raging ball of arse-ness when you know nothing. I guess it's true what they say, it only takes one thing to happen.
Cloning is the peak of narcissism
