all right check this out guys we have finally made it
to our seats in an absolutely full auditorium here at the grand finale of the beauty pageant
as part of the kamaton harvest festival now on the way in it was a bit of an atmosphere that
sort of reminded me of a football match in europe where everybody's cheering and chanting and trying
fighting for the door we've seen people with signs up for their contestants that would belong
to their particular tribe and so we'll see the winner in about two hours which is very exciting
hopefully we can uncover the story as to why there's a beauty pageant it's not clear to
me why there would be a beauty pageant at a harvest vessel so this is all sort
of tied with ancient tribal beliefs and we will hopefully get some history as well as
the most beautiful women of borneo what could be better than that all right let's go
you guys will not believe the atmosphere in here if you thought
football matches in europe or wild you have got to come to beauty pageants
people are screaming you would think it was the world cup malaysia versus singapore in the finals
because people are screaming they've got signs cheering sections absolutely wild atmosphere
now we just finished the opening ceremonies and we learned more about the beauty pageant i'm not
sure if you can hear me but quite honestly it's a lot more than a beauty question the head judge
has a phd in the local languages that without this competition would be dying so yes the girls
sort of a beautiful thing kind of a nice way to preserve native
culture and encourage young people to be involved
man it's amazing
which is the only girl wearing a hat so we're
cheering for the girl with the hat on let's go miss papa
all right so we've just met all the contestants and now we are going to narrow it down to the
final 15. lima blast all right everybody we had to break out of there for a brief intermission
because on the program we have the magazine we picked up we bought at the front door
it says they would announce the winner at 4pm and we walked in the front door at 2pm so the
idea was it would be a two-hour show although now it's like six and they're running the video
competition yeah and they haven't even narrowed it down from 44. yeah so on our road to one
contestant we're still at 44 and it's been four hours so it's a nice atmosphere in there
everybody's going crazy it's a full-on party they got cameras on cranes they got sponsors
including but not limited to pepsi cola so it's a real uh party in there but we thought it would be
over two hours ago and seemingly they've done the introduction and a bunch of other stuff yeah very
long show very very long show so we figured we'd go back around and check out the festival because
um maybe a sapphire break maybe a tap high break especially for someone who doesn't speak malay
four hours of different language and we're still at 44 contestants that's true
the journey to the most beautiful women in sabah continues we're still at 44. oh boy oh gosh yeah
we're partying baby all right a bit of a slow start but i think i found the solution
it's so crowded out there you wouldn't believe it oh
today it's super crowded and we just spent four hours
watching a show that didn't start yet no problem we got hungry hungry and we got some
all right so we've just heard the final 15 announcements and papar
is in the running the lady with the hat has a chance to win youtuber right youtuber yeah yeah
my colleagues are sharing your video that's premiering at six
who are you cheering for in the beauty pageant who are you training for
uh i'm not sure they're all really good we're cheering for papara okay
there you have it guys so i will say this way more crowded than yesterday yesterday was manageable
but today is uh shoulder control and so for this reason we've abandoned the uh theater or the
we're auditorium to stay out here because this is where the action is uh wow nice delivery hot water
hot water okay there you have it guys so we're cheering purple park i think they're doing the
question and answer portion now
one before us there is lots of cold beer for sale so we will keep enjoying the festivities here and
the lady with the hat for the win let's go wow we were here during
the day yesterday and it wasn't like this no no no they were full of traditional dances
but at night it turns into a party every traditional houses here turns into a bars
they're all partying drinking beer and there's this tapai for sale
so so funny that uh yesterday was very respectful traditional and tonight it's
like a nightmare it's like an open-air nightclub inside the traditional house the old meets the
all the houses are full of tables
with people getting a bucket and buckets of beer buckets and buckets of
oh they have a legitimate dj they have a dj inside a traditional house what could
be better than that so you need to add water and this becomes rice wine hold on hold on hold on
what this becomes rice wine like papaya
add water so there's alcohol in the rice yes so what if you just ate the rice
can you just eat this
you cannot eat at all
all right had to buy one obviously fermented rice that we poured water in and then drink
the water to get the alcohol now pro tip is fold the straw as to not drink any of the rice
because once the water is gone you add more water there's like three or four hits in this thing
so you don't want a waste of rice how is it face
i've drank worse things in my life let me try
it's not bad it's not good either but it's not bad
this one is much stronger than the top five we had played yesterday
yeah much stronger much creamier from the right someone is singing karaoke really loud
let's party
we've decided
alright
okay
all right so we've a little bit lost track of the beauty pageant
because this has turned into an absolute party vlog oh my goodness i will say this

real loose longhouse is the place we we went house hopping to party
