Former SBS Newsreader Lee Lin Chin has won The Gurgler’s July 2018 Hero of the Month as recognition for being the best unsung, under appreciated hero.
Like most things in life, she is being widely celebrated after she quit, not during the decades of service on weekend TV.
So t least she can take the small token of our July 2018 Hero of the Month into her time off from the TV.
How you voted for July 2018 Hero of the Month NOW
WHY LEE LIN CHIN WON JULY 2018 HERO OF THE MONTH
LEE LIN CHIN
Why?
SBS has another nomination, and this time it is for newsreader Lee Lin Chin who announced that she is quitting, not retiring, from reading the news for SBS.
If we can’t nominate her for a July 2018 Hero of the Month award, when can we?
Lee Lin Chin is different, professional, knowledgeable about of lot of things, which is probably why she stayed on SBS and no other channel poached her. When she says that her two days a week were getting in the way of her reading and going to the pub, that reaches a good standard of legend.
Hopefully they’ll get her involved for Eurovision next year.
Hero Factor – 8/10
OTHER JULY 2018 HERO OF THE MONTH NOMINATIONS
AUSTRALIAN DIVERS FROM THAI CAVES RESCUE
Why?
Because they kick arse and finally diving is useful. More than a one person submarine offered by a nominated Jerk.
Enough elsewhere has been written.
Hero Factor – 10/10
FOX SPORTS
Why?
Because they hired Kerry O’Keeffe for their upcoming Summer of Cricket, and suddenly that summer has become interesting again. The same cn not be said for Jerk nomination Channel 7 and their hiring of Slats.
Hero Factor – 6/10
CROATIAN FOOTBALL TEAM
Why?
Went from potential Dark Horse to World Cup Finalists, beating a few decent teams along the way, including all three group matches and broke England’s heart later than usual in the tournament. Nice to see a new name in the World Cup final anyway.
Hero Factor – 5/10
SBS, LUCY ZELIC, CRAIG FOSTER
Why?
Were initially there to do just whatever Optus Sport could let them, but eventually broadcast the entire World Cup, just the way we like it after Optus Sport finally admitted they had been hopeless.
They all looked pretty tired by the end, they probably sent a skeleton staff over given the initial arrangement, so glad they felt as tired as us.
For all the picking on her pronunciations, and Fossie’s rants, it was just the right amount of everything, and the Football World Cup should remain there forever more. Commercial TV or streaming services will only f*** it up.
Hero Factor – 8/10
DAREDEVIL BMX RIDER JUMPS OVER TOUR DE FRANCE
Why?
The Tour de France is a lovely piece of background TV, not quite the Slow TV feast that was The Ghan, but what is.
The usual cycling showpiece was interrupted by someone showing even more skill on a BMX as he jumped over the Tour de France field.
Dangerous, yes. Careless, yes. Funny, yes. Hero Nomination, absolutely.
Hero Factor – 3/10
UK TRUMP PROTESTORS
Why?
For their giant Trump Baby blimp.
For their use of the song Hey Baby (If You’ll Be My Girl) to sing about Trump and get a four letter word that sort of rhymes with it.
For their placards, the best of which used the very long-winded Mary Poppins song into a Trump tirade and description.
