In 2014, a variety show called I Can I BB (Qi Pa Shuo) was screened. In the form of debate, this show wanted to find the "most excellent talker" with unique views and outstanding eloquence among all the people speaking Chinese. As soon as it was shown on the internet, the show became popular among young people. Now, this show is preparing for its seventh season, and such a long-lived variety show is rare in domestic variety shows. Behind the popularity of I Can I BB, the mentors and “Qi Pa” played an important role.
2014年，一档名为《奇葩说》的综艺节目播出了。这档节目以辩论的形式来寻找在华人华语世界中，观点独特、口才出众的“最会说话的人”。一经播出，这档节目就在年轻人之间走红。2020年，这档节目已经在筹备第七季了，如此长寿的节目在国产综艺中也是很少见的。《奇葩说》如此受欢迎，节目中的导师和“奇葩”们功不可没。
Originally hosted by Ma Dong, I Can I BB has Cai Kangyong and Gao Xiaosong as mentors. Ma Dong's humorous host style was well received, and the collision of the views of Cai Kangyong and Gao Xiaosong's is very brilliant. With the development of the show, more and more mentors such as Jin Xing and Luo Zhenyu joined the show, bringing new elements to it.
这档节目最初由马东主持，由蔡康永和高晓松担任导师。马东幽默的主持风格广受好评，蔡康永和高晓松的观点碰撞也精彩纷呈。随着节目的发展，越来越多的导师如金星和罗振宇等也加入了节目，为节目带来注入新的元素。
The key factor of “Qi Pa Shuo” is obviously these “Qi pa”. “Qi Pa” are a group of people with distinct attitudes, new views and unique expression ways. There are new Qi Pa added every time a new season is started, and the images of them are deeply rooted in the hearts of audience. For example, Yan Rujing, who is good at using food as arguments; Fan Tiantian with straightforward character and rich experiences; Ma Weiwei with has sharp views and quick thinking; Chen Ming, who “calls for love in the center of the universe” and so on. Their fantastic performances are also the highlight of the show.
《奇葩说》灵魂自然是“奇葩”们，他们是一群态度鲜明、观点新奇、表达独特的人。每一季节目中都有新的奇葩加入，奇葩们的形象也深入人心。喜欢用吃来举例子的颜如晶，性格直率、阅历丰富的范湉湉，有观点犀利、才思敏捷的马薇薇，在宇宙中心呼唤爱的陈铭等等奇葩们的精彩表现也是节目的一大看点。
Besides, the debate topics of I Can I BB can always arouse audience’s sympathy. They talked about whether life can be measured in numbers (“Should we sacrifice Jia Ling to save other people?”); they faced the question of life and death (“Should critically ill patients be encouraged to live?”); and they argued about the attitude towards love (“Should I choose the one I love or the one who loves me?”). These valuable debate topics have also become a key factor in the show's enduring history.
作为一档辩论节目，《奇葩说》的辩题往往能戳中很多人的痛点，能引起人们的共鸣。他们曾讨论过生命能否用数量来衡量（“要不要牺牲贾玲救大家”）；直面过生死的问题（“该鼓励病危患者活下去吗”）；争辩过对爱情的态度（“该选择我爱的人还是爱我的人”）。有价值的辩题也成为了节目经久不衰的关键因素。
The seventh season of I Can I BB will be screened in the second half of the year, if you have not seen this show, don’t miss it!
《奇葩说》第七季将在下半年播出，还没有看过的朋友们，赶紧把前六季刷起来吧！
