LET'S face it. Reality show producers and creators are running out of ideas since the concept exploded earlier in the decade. With pretty much everything in real life covered and overexposed on the telly, it's getting hard to find anything original and fresh, and most viewers have realised that maybe, fiction is more entertaining.

Still, some reality shows made an impact on the Malaysian audience in 2009, creating the buzz and hype that kept the airwaves exciting. Now that the new year is here, let's look at some of the outstanding ones from 2009... some for all the wrong reasons.

CHRISTMAS always brings out the smile in shopaholics, when (most) things are cheaper and almost  everything from every brand in the stores  go on sale.

THEY dazzle you with their hands and fingers and their penetrating gaze. Sometimes, just a tap on the shoulder is enough to put you under a spell.

They’ll have you emptying your bank account right into their hands or even break into your home at night, without ever waking you or your family up.

These are the hallmarks of the fascinating crimes of mind manipulation famously known as pukau. Fascinating, because it involves the art of deception, mental-coercion and a little dash of the supernatural.
