Everytime I'm done watching an episode of this, I feel drunk.
Anywhere the Wild On crew goes , whether it's in South America,
Europe, or the Far East, everyone is always drinking and exposing
their boobies.
Jules Asner, the first true host(I think there was briefly one b4
her)was really cute and funny, like the girl next door. I identified
mostly with her because I can't dance for the life of me and when
you see footage of Jules dancing, she is as clumsy as can be.
Brooke Burke came next, and with as much charisma as Jules
had and then some , she also added that exotic beauty she carried
so well. Brooke was my absolute FAVOURITE Wild On! host-she
did what she had to do on the show, took risks but looked cool and
collected doing it. She was pregnant twice during filming(!) but she
could've fooled us! Brooke was the heart and quiet party-girl soul
of the Wild On! atmosphere...just look at how the Wild On! show's
popularity soared after she started hosting. .When Brooke asked a
question to anybody-even to a total drunkard in a really loud club-
she handed them the microphone and awaited their response.
She was a listener. When she hooked up with those cool young
travel guides from each "destination"-Italy, France, etc.-she always
blended in with what they were doing. No action from her ever felt
forced or was made to draw attention in any way. A graceful,
sophisticated, sexy, beautiful but truly groovy and down-to-earth
chick. Brooke was the model host.
Now Cindy is hosting, and though she's real sexy and cute as a
button, it's just too hard for her to match up to the charisma
Brooke, and even Jules had. Although she's an adequate host-it
always looks like she's having fun, and she doesn't run her mouth
or anything,-she doesn't seem to "control" or "own" the
camera....maybe she's very young yet and has to grow into it. I'm
also not as keen on the directing style of this season-they added a
sort of interview with Cindy in each episode, Let's say one is when
Cindy is talking about her personal experience with a party that
night while the show inter-cuts with footage from that party, for
example. Last season would've shown you actual footage of
Brooke interacting with the people and situations first-hand...She
seemed to make acquaintances as she walked by with the
camera close behind her. So there was never any need for
explanation afterward..the party was what you saw first-hand.
This-in my opinion, was a much more natural way to shoot such
scenes.
Either way, the show is entertaining, and definitely one of the best
shows on E! If nothing else, it really does open your eyes to a little
bit of culture -to people who have never even left their U.S. state,
while still realizing that people from all over the world like to get
"wild" in pretty much the same way.
