Pierre Deporte still had short brown hair, and was not yet the goldilocks that we know him as in Tamna the Island. He looks like he has just donated 5 litres of his blood. (You can take my blood!!!)
Pierre Deporte in 2007
Pierre Deporte in 2009There was some guy from USA, and he was so tall, during the opening dance, when an Asian woman danced with him, she didn't even reach his nipples. He was probably the guy who was most influent in Korean on that show. When asked "What's the reaction of Korean girls whe they see you?" He did this mock eyeing-you-from-top-to-bottom-and-fox-whistling thingy.
And there was this Malaysian guy called Jing Chien Poh. He said stuff like Malaysia is a really backwater country where couples do not even hold hands in public.
And there was this Japanese guy who said that back in Japan, no one said he was handsome. But in Korea, girls are so boy crazy that they like his looks. So they came to the conclusion that all the guys on that show were LBH.(Losers Back Home)
And there was this really strong guy from Iran of Turkey or something. Called Amir. Two women hung on to his biceps and he swung them around WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GROUND.
And there was this really random talk show host that asked random questions like:"Who would you rather drink with out of the female panelists?"
Anyways, back to the highlight of the show: Pierre Deporte!!!!!!!!!
He said some rather controversial comments. He said that often in nightclubs, Korean women try to go over and chat him up. They approach and keep talking even when he makes it clear he finds them annoying, sitting next to him, drinking, and asking him his name. He said that his method of choice was to just ignore them.
And he also said “I don’t like when girls act like a princess, I feel like I want to smack their heads”
I thought that comment was hilarious but most people don't think so. Here are some comments on the dramabeans site.

I agree with Dramabeans on some of the comments are overflowing without restraint. I mean, no offense, you are on Korean TV, think before you say anything. Haven’t they heard the Chinese proverb “No one will think you are mute if you keep your mouth shut”? And when I was watching this show, even I feel disgust at what some of the participants were saying. For example, one of the comments from Pierre was “I don’t like when girls act like a princess, I feel like I want to smack their heads”. Really. Smacking people’s heads now. How kind and thoughtful. Nationalism is quite irking when it comes to extreme. I’m Chinese, and I know how extreme the nationalistic people can go. But when a foreigner basically just talking crap about people, you would feel pissed off too.

Personally I don’t think Pierre’s comments were necessarily offensive (I wouldn’t go that far) but it does kinda make him seem like a dick. But he just made himself look bad, so whatever.
But read this comment. I think it makes sense.

lol, happened to come by this old post…“I don’t like when girls act like a princess, I feel like I want to smack their heads” Great, we’d get along fine. hATE the princess acts. but considering he pretty much grew up in korea, his views are more like that of the average korean guy as opposed to the average french guy no?
Anyways anyways. Back to the show.
And there was this part when he and this woman crossed arms and pretended to drink (nuptial) wine. Like in traditional Korean weddings. Lols.
