Se7en’s “Win-A-Date” Winner

Congrats to Kylie, the Grand Prize Winner.

I know some people were suspicious that the date was probably a set-up one, because the winner turns out to be a hot, pretty girl. However, having been working in the showbiz/TV/CF for more than 5 years now, it’s not a big surprise for me.

We all know that most of the reality shows on TV are scripted. Please note that I am not saying that the date was a scripted or set up one, I am just saying that I wouldnt be too surprised if it was.

Regardless, she is still the winner of the date (although the date was kinda lame.. and Se7en looked bored.. maybe he was expecting dinner with lots of booze?) She’s still lucky for winning the Samsung phone :)
