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!

The Amazing Zoink'd Experience
Name: Victoria

Teacher: Ms. Babb
Have you ever heard of the word "Zoink'd" and wondered what it meant? It is the name of a show on YTV. The grade sevens and eights in Cardinal Leger got to go the Zoink'd studio at the CBC to be a part of a live audience on TV. I was really excited to meet the people at "Zoink'd" and to see what they did.
"Zoink'd" is a comedy talent show. If the judges didn't like a performance, the performer would be "Zoink'd and slobbered in goo. The best performer in the show would win $1,000 in pennies.
At the studio we met Adam Miller, the host of Zoink'd, and the four judges, Wyse, Natalie, Neal, and Alaska. They were about our age and the contestants were all adults. I also met Carlos, the host of YTV.
Some of the performances were entertaining, but a few of them were disappointing. There was one woman who cried like a baby and made rude noises. She soon got Zoink'd and was slobbered in goo which looked disgusting. There were also some very talented performers. There was a magician who made a lady disappear when she got into a box. Another man swallowed a bead and made it come out of his eye. There was also another man who did awesome break dancing which the judges and everyone in the audience really loved.
The break dancer and the bead guy were the two finalists. The host, Adam, asked us to clap the loudest for the performer we thought should win. We clapped the loudest for the break dancer and he won the $1,000.
I learned a lot during this trip. I never knew how complicated it was to produce a half hour TV show. At one time, when the host had a hair sticking out of place, they had to stop the show just so the make-up artist could fix it. There were four cameras filming the show from different angles and many people were involved in producing the show. The experience I had at the CBC studio was like nothing I had experienced before.

Lights, Camera,
Action
Be zany, be hilarious make the judges impressed or you will be Zoink'd. Thinking about auditioning for Zoink'd! I have a word that I would like to say "Get ready to be Zoink'd." If you want to be slimy go ahead and audition I am warning you. Do not say that I did not warn you. If you want to see others do wacky and hilarious performances come and watch as an audience not as a contestant.
Zoink'd is a hilarious dramatical show where the weirdest things happen. Adults come to show and they are allowed to perform whatever they want. There was one contestant who cried just like a baby would cry! If the judges are not impressed by these performances the contestant gets "Zoink'd" which means they are covered in slime! The winner of the show is the contestant who does not get Zoink'd while also having the highest points. The show is the hilarious to watch and slimy for the contestants.
The show was fun and entertaining. I was able to meet and talk to the host Carlos. He is someone I think is entertaining and it was a dream come true to be able to meet him. As I watched the show I had a good laugh with my friend's every time a contestant was Zoink'd. Another exciting part of the show was being able to speak to the judges! Zoink'd been not only entertaining to watch but it was also fun to meet such cool people.
Though the show was fun I was also able to learn educationally from it as well. I learnt how important it is to be a good sportsman. Some contestants were very upset when they lost but in a competition there will always be a winner and a loser you just have to be happy with either. I also kept that in order to be better than the next contestant to be the winner. The winner needs hard work to be crowned Zoink'd master and would be awarded $1000 but the $1000 are in pennies.
There was fun and entertaining in my paper. What else do you need for this entertaining show? This is my word to you that is to be hilarious, but do wacky and funny talents but if you do not impress the judges you are "Zoink'd." I am just going to say that while I was an audience I was happy. If you are a contestant get ready to be slimy from the judges. Don't be jealous because one day you can be on TV.

Zoink'd
Have you always wanted to go to a funny, entertaining, exciting, liveTV show? Well then I think zoink'd is perfect for you! Zoink'd is a TV show that will be on YTV in March break in 2012. The zoink'd studio is in the CBC building in downtown Toronto, ON. The game is simple.
Adults come on stage to preform things that they think is cool. The judges zoink them if they don't like it. Three zoinks and you get gooed or hit with ball of different sizes. The rest of the judges give out points. The contestant with the most points wins and is zoink'd master. And did I tell you that the judges are kids?!
At the show there were four kid judges. Kid judges?! Now when do you
get to ever see that? The judges are Natalie, Wyse, Aleksa, and Neal. I've never heard of the last three names before. The host of zoink'd is really cool! He is Adam! Here is a guy everyone would scream about.
The host of YTV! CCCAAARRRLLLOOOSSS! I can't believe Carlos came! Many people in the seats got to high-five Carlos and handshake Adam. I got to handshake Adam. I wish I got to high-five Carlos.
There were also many contestants. The contestants were funny because they wore funny costumes, danced crazily, cried like babies, and best of all, zoink'd! The zoink'd master with $1000 was James Murphy! The
runner up was Rob Patterson! Their scores were the closest scores yet! Rob got 36 and James got 39 points! The amazing thing was that they both never got zoink'd!
On our breaks we had so much fun! There were people singing, dancing and doing wacky stuff! After a while when the people came down to do their talent, they ran out of prizes. During the breaks after a zoink'd a crue called the goo crue cleaned up all the "zoink'd" messes. The threw all of the excess ball into the crowd. Also the person at the top of the "goo station" threw a few balls too! I went down to the bottom of the steps just to get a ball. There was also a game a game were you would get a marshmallow a try to throw it in Adams mouth and you would get a prize. Near the end, I went down to do my talent. I did the worm! Sadly I never got a prize. At least I got
the ball! Anyways, that was awesome!
Zoink'd was a great show! In my opinion I rate this show #5 on YTV. I wish that I could be on the show and get the $1000, be zoink'd champion, and be zoink'd with the goo all at the same time! Tuesday's trip to zionk'd was ecstatic, entertaining, funny, and amazing all at the same time! Zoink'd was like Teen Ranch. That is how fantastic it is! Be zany or be zoink'd!
To Zoink Or Not To Zoink
"Be Zany or be Zoink'd" said a judge from the show Zoink'd. In case you didn't know Zoink'd is a show where adults test to see if their talent is cool or not and to make this show even better they got kid judges. Now Zoink'd is located at the CBC building downtown and this show will be appearing on YTV. Zoink'd is so hysterically funny because we get to see adults do some crazy and wacky things like we get see magicians, dancers, and some other crazy talents. If the adults do boring and non-cool, wacky, and funny stuff the judges will zoink them which means stuff will get dumped on them like ping-pong balls, streamers, footballs, and slime. Zoink'd is one of the best shows you will ever watch, I guarantee it. This was such a wonderful and funny experience.
Speaking of wonderful and funny so are the show's judges and host. The judges are Natalie, Wyse, Aleksa, and Neal. The host of Zoink'd is Adam Christie, he is so hysterical. The judges Natalie, Wyse, Aleksa, and Neal are in charge of points, of course judging and zoinking the contestants. The one and only host of Zoink'd, Adam Christie, is in charge of mostly doing interviews with the contestants, doing intros, and doing the closings. Now that you know the names of the judges and the name of the host you probably want to know some information about them right? Well Natalie is in grade 8, 13 years young, is blonde, and is judge number 1 on Zoink'd. Wyse is next and Wyse is a 6th grader, 11 years young, has great style, and is judge number 2 on Zoink'd. Next up Aleksa, Aleksa is a grade 7, brunette, and is judge number 3 on Zoink'd. Last but not least is Neal who is in grade 5, 10 years young, and is judge number 4 on Zoink'd. Adam Christie is the skinny; hairspray using; hysterical host of Zoink'd.
Not only is Adam hysterical but so were the contestants. In total there were 8 acts put together. There was a guy in a bear costume, a guitar playing guy, magician, horrible whistler, rope jumpers, Robert Patterson, a lady crying like a baby, and James Murphy. The guy in the bear costume was supposed to be a rapper but it looked like a bear costume, all he did was beat boxing and do some dance moves, when the guy began the judges zoink'd him. Next was the guitar playing guy, he wasn't bad no but it just wasn't cool or funny enough to win over the judges. Next up was the magician and all he really did was make somebody disappear, people thought it was cool but Wyse thought it wasn't original so zoink'd him and unfortunately the magican did not make the finals. Next up was the horrible whistler and all she really did was whistle while dancing, c'mon anybody can do that, I guess the judges felt the same way and zoink'd her. The next act was rope jumpers and they did some pretty cool tricks but I guess the tricks weren't good enough for the judges because they didn't make the finals. Next contestant was one of the contestants that made the finals and that is Robert Patterson. Robert Patterson was a magician and he made water disappear and made a bean pop out of his eye, it was really cool and his trick as so good hat he made the finals. The second last contestant of the day was a lady crying like a baby, the judges thought it was kinda creepy and disturbing so they didn't let her get in the finals. Last contestant was the Zoink master and that is James Murphy and James is a break dancer and his dance moves were so smooth that it was enough for him to get into the finals and win the competition while getting $1000. It was really cool.
Since we are talking about cool why don't we talk about the set of Zoink'd. Now that was an amazing place to be. On the set of Zoink'd you will see 2 tubes one pink and one blue. In those tubes there are canons that shoot stuff at the contestants if they get zoink'd. They get shot at with streamers, ping-pong balls, footballs, etc. But those aren't the only things that get dumped on the contestants. The contestants get dumped on with slime if all of the judges don't like the act. So if you look up you will see something green and it looks like a shelf, that's where the slime will come out. You've heard about the stage now let's talk about where the judges stand. The place where the judges stand kind of looks like a mini stage for them only. Ok, now the bleachers were mostly fun to sit on, well for me because I got a front row seat. Since there were 2 schools there we hade to separate the schools one on the left other on the right but since our school filled out on whole side of the bleachers the other half sat with the other school since there was more room. Another reason why sitting in the bleachers was so fun is because on our side there was a camera hovering around and the director said we'd be on camera the whole time. On our side there were at least 3 or 4 cameras one was even right in front of me, the camera guy said don't mind him so I didn't. Coolest I've ever been at.
Zoink'd does sound pretty cool right? Right, well at least if you said yes. All the acts at Zoink'd were funny, cool, interesting, or just plain boring. This show is the most hilarious show I've ever been to and seen. What makes this show even better is that kids get to be included in this. This show might be one of the best shows on YTV. Why? It's because you get to see adults do some crazy wacky things. I don't know about you, but I'll be catching Zoink'd on YTV soon. This was such an amazing experience and show.

What is this fascinating word you call Zoink'd? Zoink'd is a game show hosted by YTV. It is where crazy adults come and show us their talent. There are four kid judges who judge the adults to see if they are worthy enough to not be Zoink'd. There are about ten contestants on the show. The winner of the show always has the craziest talent. Zoink'd has fun props crazy talent and a very colourful studio. The show shows you talent that has probably never been seen before, it's wacky and you will love it.
On the show Zoink's there were two hosts, one for the commercial break and one for the show. Josh was the host for the commercial break, he entertained us when the show was on commercial. Adam was the host for the show. There were four judges, Natalie, Wyse, Alexis and Neal. My favourite judge was Wyse everyone loved him especially my friend Holley. There were about ten performers. The performers were adults with crazy talents competing against each other. Most of the performers were really good but in the end it came down to two performers, James Murphy, and Rob Paterson. James Murphy's act was break dancing, it was amazing. Rob Patersons' act was like a magic act, he was really good. In the end the winner was…….James Murphy. The hosts performers and judges did a fantastic job.
Have you ever wondered what shows during commercial? During the commercial break the host Josh would choose a contestant from the audience and the contestant would show us their talent. They also threw footballs, whoopee cushions, marshmallows and ping pong balls. There were all kinds of different talent like singing, different kinds of dance and much more. Most of the kids who went down to perform were from my school which was really great. The commercial breaks were my favourite part of the show because we got to goof around, talk to the hosts and show our talents. I really hope that everyone enjoyed the commercial breaks like I did.
Wow! Those were the first two words I said when I walked into the Zoink'd studio. It looked spectacular, the different colours, the props, the judges 'stage, everywhere I looked something was going on, either make up, cleaning up, props or people practising their lines. In the studio they had a lot of props, the props were mostly used to Zoink the performers. The Zoink'd props were ping pong balls, streamers and confetti and the coolest one of all was blue glue. I expected the studio to be way bigger and with lots more seats. I didn't know that every time they use a prop they have to bring out a crew to clean it up. I think just being in that studio was a great experience for me.
The only source of knowledge is experience. Zoink'd was educational because we were learning media literacy. I think that was another great trip that my classmates and I got to experience. I am
really glad that I got to Zoink'd because I got to see for the first time what goes on in a real live studio. I never thought that my grade seven year would have such wonderful trips. Overall the studio judges, performers, props and the commercial breaks were fantastic.
