Last Sunday I was watching the grand finale of Ghana’s Most Beautiful with my daughter and wife.
My daughter loves the programme show and so I had allowed her one hour over her bed time to watch the show to 9pm.
When her time was due we all left midway to go and sleep.
My wife had tipped Badu of Ashanti representative to win because of her ebullience, vivaciousness and strong character over the entire season.
I also knew from snippets of the show I had watched that Badu had really shown herself as one to dominate the final.
My daughter said her favourite was Naa though we all agreed Badu was the front runner.
When I got to know the following day that Badu didn’t win, I wasn’t as shocked as the position she had.
Badu did not win, but she also wasn’t the runner up nor the second runner up or even fourth, she was fifth and last! At least so said the reports.
It was 21-year-old student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and Western representative Yaba, who beat four other finalists to win the title.
For me though, the most important thing about this season’s Ghana Most Beautiful is not about who won as the effort put in by the station, TV3 to make it a very memorable 10th anniversary edition.
I saw over the period that TV3 had put a lot of effort into the production like they have before but with a bit more.
Again I noticed that the season came with improvement on the start and end times for the live shows.
TV3 had been so disrespectful of time, especially closing time, for all their reality shows that I wondered where this new discipline came from.
Whoever brought that into it need a pat on the shoulder.
Kudos to whoever led the production through the season and kudos to Yaba for winning the top prize.
To Badu and the other three, I wish them well in their next endeavour.
