TV knows no boundaries

Apparently, Beauty and the Geek has crossed the seas. This was from myspace:

hi chris my name is sunhyang. lately,it's broadcasting "beauty & the geek 2" in korea. i know you from that. it's interesting. but you speak with an air of imfortance. tristin was touched with pity. what a pity!

From South Africa:

Dear Chris

I am 21 and live in South Africa. I am a dedicated fan of yours. I look up to you as a role model. I appreciate your accomplishments and achievements.

I know that you are busy and get tons of fan mail but could you please fulfil a small request from adevoted fan? Could you please send me an authentic, personally signed note or pic made out to me "Clayton". I will greatly appreciate it.Having your autograph will be a real dream come true for me.

My postal address is:

Clayton

South Africa

Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Clayton

Now, I'm not sure which accomplishments he's talking about: was it perhaps when I made a girl cry on national TV, or maybe when I alienated everyone on the show during the question session? To be fair, I was pretty funny sometimes, and I had a few virtues (repentance?).

I wonder how other cultures perceive this whole reality tv phenomenon. Also, if the Korean version has subtitles, I'd love to see how they translated the show. I hope these letters amused (maybe even disturbed?) you.

-- Chris
