Star Circle Quest Theme

a copy of a copy; how can anything get any worse?

The reality show 'Star Circle Quest' is perhaps the most unoriginal, mindless creation of any TV network. 'Star Circle Quest' was created by its parent network solely for the purpose of riding on the coattails of the current leading reality show of their rival network 'Starstruck' (which is also a plagiary of US-based reality shows itself).

'Star Circle Quest' has got it all: three very insulting judges, very illogical and unnecessary challenges (since when did eating exotic food become a part of a talent search?), and a very simulated hype which the parent network is very well known for (the network is famous for blowing fame out of proportion, resulting to overrating).

Obviously, this show is a result of the heating network wars. Since the rival network came up with a phenomenal reality talent show, everybody knew it was only time until they come up with their own. The result: a second rate reality show everybody's bound to forget next year.

During the last 2 years of the network war, ABS-CBN's strategy was to 'pirate' big stars from the other network. GMA, on the other hand, pirated the directors and creative minds of the other network. we all know what happened of course.

'Star Circle Quest' is perhaps one of the lowest sinks the network ever made.
