I personally liked the gimmick of Saeed, not as much as Alissa Flash or Cheerleader Melissa but I couldn't stop snickering with the accent Melissa put on, why not just have her speak normally instead of putting on a ricockulous accent, Was it because they billed her from Syria?

Didn't she wear a full burqa? Why not just dub someone with a proper accent or speaking Arabic over her promos?

Wow, I totally forgot about Raisha Saeed until right now.

Instead of her sounding like a stereotypical Arabic woman like she was trying to do, Raisha sounded like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle.

which accent? it would often change from week to week or even mid-sentence.

Whose brilliant idea was it to completely cover up a woman as beautiful as Melissa?
Also, the gimmick was dumb as dirt.

The gimmick made 100% sense, for someone to be managing Kong as a monster. It was a throwback gimmick.

I bet she's a Jeff Dunham fan. SILENCE! I KEEL YOU! This was what I was coming in here to post. No joke, every time she said "SILENCE!" I'd respond with "I KEEL YOU!" |

It was a great gimmick. It suited Kong to have a mysterious associate and handler like Raisha.

Stupid gimmick, considering that women wearing burqas wouldn't be allowed to be seen in public without being accompanied by a male. At least in Saudi Arabia.

Still better than the Gywneth Paltrow method of using the same vocal infliction no matter the role. |
