Youth Alpha: All Stars Season

Do you still remember that Mark and I formed a team of 2 and participated to a church game called “Youth Alpha” back to 2009? Well, we both are given a second chance to do it again for a grand prize of 5000 ringgit since they’ve successfully installed this program up to 7 seasons and more than 100 youths had experienced this game. The 8 installment will be dubbed as “All Stars Season” (a.k.a The Aftermath) which means our Mr. Producer, George Harrison, intending to gather 14 teams of 2 from the previous seasons and join this game for once again. Fortunately, Mark and I have been chosen as one of the lucky teams as they categorized us as “the most interesting team ever” judging by our performances in Season 2, though I don’t know whether if it was true or not, lol.

Season 1 was held in late 2008 where 16 contestants were sent to Melaka as they had to accomplish some various tasks by solo. According to what I’ve heard during my second interview, Season 1 was entirely took place in Melaka, also a hometown to my best friend, Wen Sern, lol. In addition, all 16 contestants are above 18-years-old and the game was lasted about a month, longest time used compared to the future 6 seasons. The elimination was attempted by voting against each other, similar to “Survivor” which sounds a little unfair to me. In the end, a Chinese girl named Diane Chong won the game. What was the prize? I don’t know, lol.

Season 2 dubbed as “The Ride of a Lifetime” and made a major improvisation compared to the previous one in May of 2009. This time, the contestants were no longer work on solo and won’t get forced to “kill” one another. 6 teams of 2 (including Mark and I) had been chosen as one of the Season 2 contestants while the other 6 teams are actually from Penang. So, it was like KL VS Penang teams, lol. We travelled a total of 4 different location (or states) during the 2 weeks program; KL, Klang, Kelantan and Penang. However, some of us did not manage to visit all these places as they already got eliminated and were sent back to KL where the final winning team will be revealed. Fr. Valentine, who was our host and the only person that gained a full power to determine which team will be going home next judging by our performances in each task that given every day. Mark and I got 5th place (eliminated in Penang, day 2) and obtained ourselves a pair of Korean shoes as our prize for making it to top 6. The Penang team and also the youngest contestants (Form 1) among the 24 of us won the whole game which granted them a total of 3000 ringgit.

Season 3 begun 2 months after the second installment with 40 new faces of contestants. It was dubbed as “Talent Race” and was also the first season ever that opened for every youth to both Christians and non-Christians. Season 3 developed a new style of game where the contestants formed into 10 teams of 4 and entirely focused on “talent” such as drawing, singing and acting. Since I wasn’t include, so I have no idea who had won that season.

During the Christmas Eve of 2009, Season 4 followed the same concept as the original game where 10 contestants work on solo fighting to earn the title of “Faithfulness” to oneself. Yup, Season 4 was dubbed as “Faith” as the entire game only focused on “Bible Knowledge”. This Season was a little boring (at least for me) since the contestants spent the whole period in our church, never gone to anywhere.

I completely have no idea how did Season 5 and onwards look like since I no longer appear in that church after graduated from Sunday School. O gosh, can’t wait ‘till after SPM :D
