lol, the videos has a PCK feel to them

its so poorly produced.

oh well, not much is expected of them actually.

technically, they are just flag bearers and to ‘glam’ up the sport. hooters girls should have pre-requisite.

angela …gridgirl ???

cheeeh. thought you were gonna say sumthing horrid. haHaha!! but the girls are an accurate cross section of young singaporean women innit?

i reckon they shud just keep their mouths shut. fast cars and fast chicks. eye candy. period. you wanna impress the socks off the boys…. talk fuel injection, brake pads & all (like how you & your krew talk about MTB parts??). haHaha!!

I totally agree with you! I went through each one individually.

I’ll help you hold up the virtual shield .. all the way from Perth.

The better girls normally wouldn’t want to come for these auditions. So as a producer, we already have slim pickings.

@l: no thanks

guerilla: I think its very attractive for a girl to know about cars and its parts…

Joan: You know, you’re right. there may be alot of girls signing up, but trying to get the “quality” submissions is hard. That i must say must be quite a nightmare for a producer.

yeaah. my point exactly. especially for sumthing as specifik as the F1 event. you kant sell speed if you dunno wat you’re on about hey? i saw fotos of the sepang super GT girls. fwaar. pales in komparison (though the singapore reprezentatives look more like “drag queens” than racy ones).

Maybe they should import some other asian girls who more experienced with works like these to mix so our girls can learn from it and then pass it on.

yeah get some hot brazillian chics man….fweeeet!

I agreed with you. I just cannot find any X factor from any of the Grid girls….and nothing attractive enough for me to tune in to watch the SingTel Grid Girls episode on TV5.

Hey go easy on that Malaysia comment.

Azman: well i’m sort of half malaysian, so i can get away with it HAHahahah….

jo: i watched the first episode, and that was painful enough.

what do we aspect, PHD holders grid girls.
not that anyone s gonna test their smart or so. I ve never come across any grand prix where they interview these girls…just to add some feminity to the race !!!! no harm

OMG. i have the same sentiments. i live overseas and when all the f1 hulabaloo i went to check out all the grid girl video blogs and they made me cringe. i mean, overall, they all seem like nice girls with nice personalities but they did NOT come off well in the videos, where some of them even looked like they were reading prompters in the background. very forced. aiyoh… they should have had a few of them chatting together or something to have them feel more natural.

Sotong girl, Maha Maran said she cycle… Take her to jump 5foot ramp… Hahaha!!

sjghouse: if that’s the case, they shouldn’t put the videos of the online. Just ask them to look pretty and do their job as a grid girl. Because by exposing them to the public in that manner, you’re opening them up to criticism, by me and the rest of the world. You’re right, if they are there to add feminity, then is should have been just that yeah?

Tan: bring it on.

Come on. The only reason why they re overly scrutinized and criticized is becos the S’pore GP is the only GP that has an event showcasing ‘gridgirls’in this manner.
There shouldn’t even be a segment on them.
Unfortunately it tells you the type of viewership we have to provide for here.

Lookswise, they re pretty much there for Asian chicks.

i see it more of a fault on the producer’s part. they flippantly chosed the poor ‘hopeful’ girls, gave them horrid (less than grid girl-like) uniforms, terrible grooming (make-up & hair) and CHEAPSKATE and worse-than-crap publicity (moblog videos, channel 5 tv show) etc..

the girls are doing their best.. how could you blame them? do you think they were really having a good time feeling less than they should be? im sure they are aware of how ‘traditional’ grid girls are supposed to be like, but did they have a voice in organisational matters? i’d think not. Moreover, they wldnt’ve did the ‘dirty work’ if they knew they were going to face such harsh criticisms..

so give the singtel grid girls a break and perhaps turn your attention to the very people who caused the horrid experience..

adrenalin: Veryy valid points!!! i’m sure alot of them were not prepared to be portrayed that way. But i still think most of them are not up to par. Bad producer or not, he/she can’t take full blame.

The uniforms weren’t very flattering either doncha think?
