Congratulations, hardly watch mtv but I know they have great productions!
Am I the only one who thinks this mtv Vj search is crap? Gather a thousand and one ppl to search for a single winner, and then place him/ her on a basic salary after all the hype! Look at Ehiz, the young man has not gained a single ounce of weight even after winning.. Ooh dear
” the young man has not gained a single ounce of weight even after winning”….OMG You’re mean lmaoooooooooooo
