Bà Tân Vlog is probably a name that is no longer unfamiliar to all of us. Famous for her gigantic food creations, Bà Tân Vlog has also made an impression through her appearances on television, sharing stories about her life, the ups and downs of her past, to her current success. However, among the television shows she has participated in, the most notable one is still “Challenge of Comedy.” Specifically, during the qualifying round, before the show she participated in aired, there were many opposing opinions and condemnations if the show’s results awarded her 100 million like many rumors. And then Bà Tân Vlog did not receive the actual 100 million, but it still helped her get into the Gala night thanks to a special exemption.
Appearing in the Gala night, Bà Tân no longer wore her familiar polka dot shirt, but the scripts and sketches she brought were considered very outdated and bland. She still used artist Lê Giang as a theme for her competition, still with the term “gigantic” to get through the first two rounds and made the judges laugh, thus easily passing the first two rounds. And although she changed the theme, Bà Tân still could not get past the third round and had to reluctantly accept the 5 million prize.
However, what surprised everyone was when MC Trấn Thành presented the prize, Bà Tân refused to accept it and stated that she came here just to have fun and not for the purpose of taking money home, and just being able to appear on stage was enough to make her satisfied. Therefore, she dedicated her prize money to charity for those in difficult circumstances.
“Thành ơi, I want to say this. My life has come close to the end, and stepping onto this gigantic national stage is already fulfilling my wishes.
Before entering the competition, I told the children that I was just participating for fun, and even if I received a prize, I wouldn’t take it. That’s why I give this 5 million back to you, Thành, to use for charity for those in difficult situations.
I want to say a few words to you, Thành. I only started Vlog at the end of my life but got lucky to be supported. Honestly, I must be lucky to have money to enjoy in Saigon, otherwise, I would still be doing construction work, farming, how could I have money to come here to have fun. Just coming here is enough for me to be satisfied” – Bà Tân Vlog shared with Trấn Thành.
However, Bà Tân’s performance has also received many mixed opinions from netizens. Alongside a portion praising her noble gesture, there are also many who condemn and criticize, claiming that the performances she prepared were too bland, mostly using old “scripts,” lacking creativity, sophistication, and failing to evoke any emotions or laughter from the audience.
