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?

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.
