The One of a Kind TV show

          Normally when you're on the set of a TV show, you would be told how to act. For "Zoink'd", it's a whole different story! You can have fun whether you're on it or watching it! The grade 7's and 8's all went on an extravagant trip to the studio of the new show, "Zoink'd". The anticipation was killing me! I was really psyched about this trip. As soon as my teacher told us about it, all I could do was scream!

          Have you ever wanted to watch a show that's hilarious but nail biting, kooky but amusing, and absolutely humorous? Just watch "Zoink'd"! "Zoink'd" is a little different than other shows you might have seen. There are kid judges and adult contestants! In "Zoink'd", the contestant must perform their talents for four kid judges. If a judge the contestant's performance, they would pull their lever. Once they pull their lever, a machine would shoot different things out of it like water, confetti, and footballs. After a few contestants perform, we'd take about a 10 minute break.

          The 4 judges on "Zoink'd" were young who each had a different age and personality. Natalie was the oldest judge! She was 14 years old. Natalie was nice and kind, but if she doesn't like your performance, she will definitely zoink you! Next is Wyse, an 11 year old boy who sleeps during class! He's funny but honest! If he thinks your performance was bad, he's not afraid to tell you how bad it was! The third judge was a cute little girl who's around 9 year old and has a name that sounds like Alaska! Her name is Aleksa! Aleksa is a really smart girl and exciting girl who knows if someone really has talent! Last but not least, there's Neal! A 10 year old boy who likes to fence! He might look like a nice, easy going guy but he's actually a hard shell to crack when it comes to judging your performance! The host of the show was my favorite, Adam Christie! Adam was fun to be around and was histaricol when he was off camera! During the break, a man named Josh would come out and entertain us. Josh would go around the audience and ask us to perform one of our own talents. After we perform, he would give us a YTV mouse pad or a whoopee cushion.

          "If you can't be zany, you will be Zoink'd!" That's what Natalie would always say before the contestants would perform. The first contestant was Cam Steele! He did break dancing in a rapper costume! He was good, but not good enough! Cam Steele got zoink'd and eliminated. The second contestant was a magician! Most magicians make someone disappear and the judges were hoping he'd do something different! Sadly, the magician did the most common trick a magician can do, he made his assistant disappear! None of the judges were impressed. The magician got eliminated along with a few other contestants, the crying lady, the whistling lady, and Jropez. After they were eliminated, there were two contestants left to perform, James Murphy and Rob Patterson.

Rob Patterson did a few tricks for his performance. He juggled, then took 3 cups, poured water in one of them, and shuffled the cups around a few times. Next he showed us the cup that he put the water in and the water was gone! The last trick he performed was putting a bean in his mouth and then popping it out of his eye! It was a little disturbing, it was still impressive! Rob made it to the next round. James Murphy was the last contestant of the day. He did an amazing routine that everyone danced and clapped to! The judges loved it and let him move on to the next round. Lastly, they tallied up the scores and the winner is…..JAMES MURPHY! The wonderful prize he won was $1000! The punch line is that it's in pennies.

          A lot of kids, who are my age, would definitely want to watch "Zoink'd". I mean, what more can you ask for? It's got everything a hit TV show needs! Humor, suspense, wackiness, crazy costumes, upbeat people, and a lot of entertainment!  I think "Zoink'd" is going to be a smash hit TV show and a favorite of many!
