I’m so excited to be a part of the “Surviving the Reality Race” panel on April 10 at Reality Rocks.” said Allie Smith, “The Amazing Race 16″ contestant.
“Without the fans, reality television would just be plain ‘ole anonymous reality, wouldn’t it? And there is no bigger reality television fan or advocate than Murtz Jaffer” said Deborah Cloyed, author of The Summer We Came to Life and “The Amazing Race 7″ contestant. “I am so proud of my friend, Murtz Jaffer. He is hard working and courageous, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award for distinction in reality reporting,” said Peih-Gee Law, “Survivor China”.
Mr. Jaffer has been a part of the reality television community for the last 11 years and holds the esteemed title of being the only reality television reporter to attend and cover over 1,000 reality show premiere parties, charity events and finales around the world. His reputation in the reality television community is as unique as his style, trademarked by his purple suit and fedora. “From his fan-boy roots and unparalleled Survivor prediction to hosting his own hit reality series in Canada, no one has his hand on the pulse of this genre quite like Murtz Jaffer. On one hand, he studies this scene with the obsessive compulsive precision of a micro-surgeon; on the other hand he is the ringleader and instigator behind some of the most infamous reality parties ever to rock the Hollywood strip!” said Kent Kaliber and Vyxsin Fiala, “The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business”.
“A reality event is not complete for me until I see Murtz in his purple suit! I am honored as the winner of Survivor Gabon to be presenting this special achievement in reality award to a real winner like Murtz and look forward to participating in the Surviving The Reality Race panel at Reality Rocks on April 9,” said Bob Crowley, “Survivor Gabon” winner.
