Day 77: Oh my Gold
I watch this program whenever i am home that is called Lisa Ray says Oh My Gold and runs on TLC every night at 9. Its got Lisa Ray visiting different cities and checking out the gold jewelry at some of the famous stores of that city. Of course, that means that we get to see the kind of jewelry that is popular in different parts of the country and the styles and designs in vogue. I have seen the episodes shot in Kochi, Hyderabad, Delhi and Chennai. Much as i love the gold that is on display, I am coming to hate the show since i cannot tolerate the anchor. Agreed she has bounced back from near death and is living her life to the fullest, but that doesn't mean she brings in that persona on screen. Everything is surprising and wonderful for her. There is something fake about her that i can't seem to describe here. She makes these weird noises and gets over enthusiastic. And i would rather the anchor was a person who knew something about the cities of India and the traditions and the kind of jewelry that is made in India. Maybe i will not watch the show anymore, but the love for all things gold persists ;)

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Just hate the way she hosts the show but love those beautiful jewelry :)
ReplyDeleteThis is true about most of the cooking shows too . Every dish they encounter is the most splendid dish ever.Everyone cant be Anthony Bourdain I guess .
ReplyDeleteI want to tear away the posters of this shows from the billboards. Lisa Ray looks like a disaster with all that gold on her. From your post, looks like she's as much of a disaster as she looks on the posters.
ReplyDelete@ Lasya and Anusha,
ReplyDeleteYepp. She is a disaster.
And totally agree with Vikas. Especially the regional language programs. Everything is tasty and yummy and healthy. Be it deep fried stuff too :P
