Ca Mau man grabs ‘Leader' title in new reality show

HCM CITY — A young man from the southernmost province of Ca Mau Province won "The Leader" title in the reality television game show Toi La Nguoi Dan Dau (I Am the Pacesetter) which was broadcast on HCM Television (HTV).

After two months of competition, Quach Van Den, 25, beat 15 contestants as they met several challenges of endurance, strength, agility, problem solving, teamwork and dexterity.

He received 43 per cent of eliminated contestants' votes and 66.7 percent of audiences' votes to take the prize money of VND100 million (US$5,000).

"The show taught me about having strong spirit, iron will, life skills and faith in victory," Den said at the awards ceremony held at the HTV Studio on Saturday.

The show, produced by HTV and Dong Tay Promotion Co, took place on Phu Quoc Island in Kien Giang Province.

During the show, the contestants themselves voted off weaker counterparts. After the last episode, the eliminated contestants and the audience voted for the winner. — VNS
