Audition Me Finalists

If most people’s default news channel is CNN, we usually have channel news asia. They got great lifestyle and news features there that’s because. I am totally hooked over Channel News Asia’s Audition Me finalists! Try watching them Audition Me, every Sun 8.30pm beginning 1 May. We can vote for our favourite hosts in the food, travel and sports categories. Let’s break down the finalists:

The finalists for the FOOD category:

SHERRY LEE
She has a diploma is Mass Communications and has had years of practice both in front of and behind the camera. Her best traits are her dependability and honesty and says her ability to communicate well and relate to others is a strength that has helped her get around and make situations work for her.

SASKIA JOOSE
A native of Sydney, Australia, Saskia is a citizen of the world, having grown up in South Africa, America, Mexico, France and Italy. She has a healthy appreciation of different cultures and cuisines and her one tip to those who are uncertain of what to order at a new restaurant is to ask your waiter for suggestions.

CHERYL MILES
She's one-third of an all-girl band, CCCrush, the grand champions of MediaCorp's Talentime 2001 and counts writing and recording songs, dancing, and acting among her varied talents. Cheryl is also a certified fitness instructor who rates her ability to apply false eyelashes and execute 10 consecutive cartwheels (though not at the same time!) as two of her best, yet underrated, skills.

MY BET: SHERRY LEE- I don’t like the blond girl, I just don’t, she lacks spunk, very model-ish. Cheryl Miles has been a face on tv and practically isn’t new, so I want to see someone new on Channel News Asia, I want Sherry Lee!

The finalists for the TRAVEL category:

BENEDICT GOH
He made his debut on television in 1996 and is best remembered as the host of the Pyramid Game. Since then, as an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces, he's climbed mountains in Taiwan, and trudged through jungles in Brunei. He's traveled most parts of the world and believes that with age comes maturity and wealth of experience.

CHARISSA SEET
She had her own television and radio programmes while still in school and describes herself as spunky, resourceful and personable. She likes to doodle and specializes in sketching women. Singing is one of her passions and when she does have the time, she indulges in kickboxing and hip-hop classes.

MARIAH ZAINAL
She's been involved in both television and theatre for the past 12 years, having hosted in Malay for Suria and been a full time producer/presenter with Passion 99.5. But her real passion is in acting, which she has done since her college days. She believes that being a wife and mother have added depth to her character and given her a new dimension in life.

MY BET: BENEDICT GOH- Omg this is the hardest category to choose from! Aish!! Okay all 3 of them had movie, tv and radio stints. I like Mariah Zainal because she is so bubbly! But it all comes down to Benedict Goh! His English is just perfect and he looks so daymm good!

The finalists for the SPORT category:

RHYS TAN
He's a fresh graduate who lists playing the drums (too loudly) as one of his cardinal sins. He's played gigs and recorded music with bands in London and Manchester. He firmly believes that the joy of sports is derived not only from participating in it but also from watching it. And so, he loves to watch tennis, football, snooker and Formula One racing.

AMOS BOON
He's a sports junkie who has had a go at most sports, from golf to squash and even to extreme sports like wakeboarding (he's even competed in regional wakeboarding competitions). He's been playing soccer professionally for 10 years and confesses to being addicted to the adrenaline rush that comes with sports.

DAREN TAN
He's the typical fun-loving guy next door who, once he sets his heart on something, goes at it with a passion. He's a full-time theatre actor and a part-time DJ with Perfect 10 98.7 FM. In his spare time, he writes and performs songs on his guitar and keyboard. But his first loves is really sports, especially soccer.

MY BET: AMOS BOON – Daren Tan is not a new face cause he is a dj on radio already. He is very sporty when I see him do his sports stuff on tv. He looks like he can do it and he is very spontaneous.
