“Winner 100” Season II Kicks Off

Season II of television show “Winner 100” has officially kicked off on Shanghai Dragon TV on 11th November. After rounds of selection from original submissions, face-to-face interviews and training camp, 16 business elites stood out to enter the finals in a 13-week long live television show.

Their first task was to organize a Shanghai feature tour. The Men's team chose a gardening tour, and the Women's team opted for a dessert tour. The Women’s team won with a profit of RMB347, while the Men's team only netted a profit of RMB268. One of the four contestants most responsible for the Men's team's loss, namely Zhong Jianhong, Ji Jieyu. Xu Qin and team leader Shao Yijia, was to be eliminated. After voting by the professional judges, the audience (via SMS), and the public judging panel, “sunny guy” Xu Qin became the first to be sent home.

One of the key attractions of this season is that it is a “Truman Show” – the competitors all live in KIC during the entire contest, with 12 hidden cameras capturing their every move, 24 hours a day. The show will be broadcast at 7:30 every Saturday night on Dragon TV, and the winner of the prize of RMB 1 million will be selected in the final episode on February 3, 2007. Don't miss it!
