Last night I attended the recording of the fight night finale of Way of the Warrior and Cape Town celebs came out to support cool guy Colin Moss, who besides being involved with heavy duty production word behind the scenes of this innovative and original reality show, is also the Way of the Warrior presenter.
From the gaggle of local celebs who attended, I quickly pulled rugby player Breyton Paulse and Natalie Becker out of the crowd and put them together with Colin Moss to pose for this quick photo. Colin Moss looked quite relaxed (considering his Gathered Moss production company is actually producing Way of the Warrior).
And let me just say that Colin Moss has just a wonderful rapport and interaction with a live audience on a level that very few MC's and celebs in this country has: gentle ribbing, but never pandering, completely in tune with the jibes and friendly hecklers in the audience, and instantly reacting and feeding back to them. Colin Moss is clearly feeding off the energy of a large crowd, never looking stressed and in fact - I suspect, once again seeing him in action - loving it, gently steering masses of people to do exactly what they need to, without them feeling as if they've being controlled or stage-managed. If you know showbiz, you'll appreciate what he's actually able to do because not a lot of celebs can pull it off successfully and make it look so easy.
Yesterday evening the celebs could barely contain their excitement at Grand West's fight night and were anxious for the guys to get into the ring (there were several fights leading up to the final two contestants of the show). However the final episode gets edited down for time, it will be well worth watching.
The final two Way of the Warrior contestants, Glen and Andrew duked it out in the ring - much lighter than what they were when the show started - while the cameras rolled and the crowd cheered. You can catch the season finale of Way of the Warrior on Monday at 18:00 on M-Net Action (DStv 106).
