I just watched Miss America back to back 2013 and 2014 (current year) shows.
I have to tell that in 2013, there is like a 'magic touch' in the show. In 2014 show they just lost it. I have no problem with the winner Nina Davuluri. Appears okay (actually I still have half hour of show to watch).
My problem is that from America we expect 'something classy'. Like the 2013 show.
Just watch the 2013 show and then compare it with the 2014 show and you will know what I am talking about.
The 2014 show appears 'worse than a show from the Third World'. Or if not worse then 'something similar'. Only most of the people (in audience) were white.
Maybe hosting it in Atlantic City instead of in Las Vegas made the difference.
Anyway, I am confident that America will bounce back. But definitely it cannot become 'what it was'. I feel America is becoming more multi-cultural and the shows reflect the same and the 'new poor' or the ones 'denied access' are the ones who are of white origins.

Hunger Games new trailer is out and saw that in MTV Movie Awards show (2013). I feel after the original Hunger Games being 'almost devoid' of black (negroid) characters, this time they have taken care to include a lot of 'black faces'.
Maybe the original movie makers never thought that Hunger Games would become so big. And hence, in the sequel, they took care to ensure that the 'stain of racism' is removed in the sequel.

Bigg Boss November 25 episode I watched and feel it was nice. In that episode due to violation of the rules of the house, Bigg Boss stops access to the kitchen and in that respect food of the contestants.
The point which was too good was that 'food is a basic requirement in life'. In fact it is the most basic requirement. A child who is born wants food. In fact this 'very requirement of food' is what makes Zombie movies popular. Because when the 'dead become zombies' in the movies they lose all power of thinking which makes them human and then they revert to the 'most basic of the needs', i.e. satisfy hunger.
Another scene which was good was when remaining little quantity of Chyawanprash belonging to Sangram was shared among many inmates of the house. They ate each other's 'jhoota'.
And this increased their bonding, I feel.
After googling, I find there is no 'corresponding English word' for 'Jhoota (food)' in English. Thus, it could be 'infected food' (infected by the person who ate it or tasted it first). But the infection might not actually be there. It is there in a 'mental state'. And since the food is 'jhoota', it becomes 'unfit for consumption' by the person who considers it 'jhoota'.
Thus people who can eat each others 'tasted food' trust each other and are closer than those who don't or avoid it altogether.
