Men, Men, MEN!

The 2008 Men's Health Best Look competition premieres on M-Net this Saturday (6 December) -  just after the 20h00 movie.

The way it usually works is that they only show the Finale event where the winner's announced but this year they're doing a three-part series.

The first two episodes feature the selection process and muscle-building camp the finalists go on and the final episode covers the announcement of the winner that happened at a shindig held at the Waterfront recently.

I went through to it to see what went down and had a pervy time  - except I almost had a heart attack at the end. Check this out:

Can you believe it? It 's what they were all dressed in for their final parade and naming of the winner. I was so stumped that anyone could possibly think it's okay to dress anyone in those pants I couldn't stop taking pics out of shock ...

The only person who seemed to think it was as ridiculous was Mark Bayly who hosted the show. He was wearing proper pants and rolled them up to joke about them - which no-one seemed to realise:

mh_9

Touched! ...
 
Despite the fashion crisis the rest of evening was spicey - I spent the entire time touching guys for us - including e's Derek van Damm, who I spent some time schmoozing too (for my own alterior weathery purposes):

Derek Van Damm

m_h_10
As you may have seen, eNews's got a whole bunch of new weather girls - all chosen by Derek - so instead of being iffy with him for taking my job, I decided I better try to be nice for once and suck up. (Still waiting for the call!)

Touch verdict: a good height and a good mix of feeling smart but sloppy at the same time.

Also - get this, it turns he wasn't there alone but with his girlfriend, Catherine McChesney.

mh_12
The pair met on location for a story - Derek was being interviewed, Catherine was the photographer, they locked eyes and that was that.

Top Billing's Janez Vermeiren - 2003 Men's Health winner

mh_14
Verdict: smelt very nice - a guy-in-a-black-shirt smell - and felt very fresh. Was worried about the pointiness of his shoes though - :

mh_15

Mark Pearce - 2007 MH Winner
(and also a judge this year)

mh_16
Verdict: felt SO hard - which was why I was hysterical.

Mark Bayly

mh_16
Verdict: there's no hope for any of us unfort. Since we last saw Mark In Survivor he's gotten married.

m_h_17
He's also just celebrated having his first baby and recently finished filming an adventure/travel show. No news yet on what channel it'll be on but apparently it's looking like National Geographic.

Also spotted!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

And the winner is ...

the_results_1
Patrick Kasongo (1st runner-up), Brendan Currin (Winner) and Dewald Nolte (2nd runner-up)

Fast facts

- Previous winners of the competition include Survivor SA's Sam Allerton.
- I've always assumed the prize for the winner was to be on the cover of Men's Health but apparently it's that they might be featured - how rubbish is that? - can't believe it's not a done deal!
- The prize includes a cash prize for each of the final three.

For more info on the show and finalists check out TVSA's Mini Site: Men's Health Look 2008.

I am finding it difficult not 2 comment on these shorts! R they comming into fashion? Nkosi yam safa nga madoda alandela every fashon of the Ladies, I can already imagine these shorts becoming shorter & shorter (Sgqebhezana) untill they r 2cm (I think there was a time when mini-skirts were called 2 cm, or 2mm- not sure).....!

Whoever is saying that those guys looks terrible. doesnt exactly follow the fashion very well. This is the new look for this year. I also happen to own a suite like this one. I wear it two weeks ago at my friends wedding. and every one had an eye on  me center of attraction especial girls. Evern the groom asked me whether i was the one who was getting married or him. I think most of u who ar criticizing doesnt know the meaning of being elegant and fashionable.
