Big Brother Winner!

So Wendell ended up as one of the winners.  Can't say that we are disappointed (did not follow the show to the T, but we are happy for him)

It seems that the more 'cheap', 'easy' and 'sleazy' a contestant is, the better their chance of getting the votes; making one wonder about the general morality out in Africa right now... and with this being said it was a real surprise that 23 year old Wendell from Zimbabwe actually walked away with $200K!


Congrats to him.  Here is how the voting was spread out for the contestants as reported by codewit.com:  


Karen: 6 country votes – Nigeria, Angola, Rest of Africa, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania
Wendall: 4 country votes – Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya
Luclay: 2 country votes – South Africa, Botswana
Lomwe: 1 country vote – Malawi
Sharon O: 1 country vote – Uganda
Hanni: 1 country vote – Ethiopia
Vina: 0 Country Votes


Why some people can't accept the outcome of the votes (that they cast), no one will know.  Controversy has started on twitter with viewers asking how Wendell won...sad to be a sorry loser.  From us, a hearty congrats to Wendell for making it and we feel it was well deserved!  

Interestingly enough, South Africans are asking for a South African Big Brother and that BBA should "go away!"

SA Idols 2011 - season 7 bad talent?

It's not just me saying it, but the talent pool we have for idols this year is really low caliber.  Of all the guys that auditioned  these are not the best list of contestants the judges could have come up with and now the public is tasked with choosing a winner from a difficult list of singers...


Top 10 quality American style is the likes of  

and SA Talent to the likes of 

Like for like, the all of the guys in the top 10 would out-perform each and every one of the SA contestants.  It is embarrassing to listen to someone like Miss J singing Fireworks by Katy Perry and Dave having a 'fit' on stage (yes, he has passion but I won't buy his CD!).  

I can't imagine these guys even making it in theater week if they should have been put up against the US contestants to audition! The SA guys can't even stay within key!  

The worst singers were Nolly and Miss J and the best performers last week were Erin, Dene and Crushanda and they only marginally got close to the talent level the US guys are on.  I am interested to see what the SA public makes of this when voting!

Police #FAIL

Only in SA would this happen - the police vehicle illegally parked at a shopping complex were subsequently clamped.
