IDOLS JUDGE CHALLENGES 2OCEANSVIBE
As Seth responds to Randall Abrahams via video
10.02.2009You should be pretty up to date now on where we are. If you’re not, I would advise following these links as I give them to you. I was flipping through my satellite TV a few days back and caught 5 minutes of the Idols highlights channel, testing to see if such a short spurt would reveal the usual slow motion car crash. It did. The result was the article entitled DAVE THOMPSON DROPS IDOLS BOMBSHELL .
Within 24 hours I received emails from both Idols judges mentioned in the story, Dave Thompson and Randall Abrahams. I published and responded to Dave’s email in the article entitled DAVE THOMPSON CONFIRMS WINNING MEANS NOTHING. And now, I give you Randall’s email and my response in video format.
Randall’s email:

Subject: Idols 5Dear Seth,
I read with keen interest your comments relating to this latest
season of the show and issues related to Dave and myselfFirstly, who exactly are you and what exactly qualifies you to make
these willfully attention-seeking comments?!As Dave pointed out in his mail – you seem to spend an inordinate
amount of time and effort attempting to apply Chomsky to Idols – are
you by any chance in the process of completing a doctoral thesis?It is your contention that I am the “Simon Cowell” of the group -
this is a view held by several others? Have you ever met Simon or
worked with him? Or are you basing your humble opinion on a
comparison between an American and a South African reality television
show?Finally, if you need to resort to expletives to make your points
perhaps you would want to engage me face to face – in order to test
both my intelligence and my patience. This is an open invitation!Finally, I resent your overall (dis)regard for both my own and Dave’s
professional integrity and our professional backgrounds to date.
Yours is not an opinion shared by large numbers of people in the
entertainment industry but as you’re so well versed I’m sure you know
what they say about opinionsMy warmest regards
Randall
By its very nature you can only have ONE “finally,” Randall.
Anyway, we get the idea.
Please find my video response below:
Over to you, Randall..
February 10th, 2009 at 7:58 am
Barney! Barney! Barney! Seth – you’re a fucking legend.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Whaaaahahahaha dude faken hell thats funny!!!!!
Be the cage fighter you always meant to be…use the kemosabi heart ripper technique, works wonders!
February 10th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Seth, that’s fucking hilarious.
Not sure if you heard Gareth Cliff this morning when asked about Idols – he said ” I don’t want to do another Idols, I’m sick of listening to bad singers”
Awesome
February 10th, 2009 at 8:38 am
Sounds like you’re getting a little too defensive Randall. Now now, you need to work on your asshole alter ego if you’re going to use it off-screen as well, your insecurities are showing…
PS how on earth is Chomsky applied to Idols. Redonkulous.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:43 am
……FINISH HIM!!
February 10th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
February 10th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Is that Randall’s real e-mail adress that you published?
February 10th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Seth, sir, you have outdone yourself.That was quality.
February 10th, 2009 at 9:23 am
It’s cool to both marketing engines (2Oceans and Idols) cashing in on each other. Clever people on both ends.
February 10th, 2009 at 9:36 am
This is AWESOME!!!! Seth punch him in the ovaries.
February 10th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I will pay R 100.00(ex VAT)to see Randall moered……
…just a tip though;search his handbag before the fight starts..
February 10th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Classic! The marketing exposure, both you guys (20ceans and Idols) have been and will be getting must be huge, I see if you type in “randal from idols” on google 2oceans is right up there.
Very clever work Seth.
I want to be on you!
February 10th, 2009 at 9:56 am
If Randall chickens out of the boxing match – perhaps you can challenge him to a karaoke!
February 10th, 2009 at 10:10 am
hilarious shit!!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Hit him in the POES!!
February 10th, 2009 at 10:25 am
You would have thought that after Dave almost wished he never responded, that “Randoll” would have taken a feather from his cap. Also it looks like “Randoll” is loosing sleep over this as he was up at 3:22AM typing away…
February 10th, 2009 at 10:31 am
this is WAY more fun and entertaining than idols.
my warmest regards
February 10th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Awesome. Any chance you could introduce “Twitter” to your media mix, so as to keep us (your devoted audience) informed of the developments, on the hour? Excellent stuff Seth, I’m sure your site traffic is currently kicking Idols site visits in it’s own parallel moer’ing.
February 10th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Seth,
No doubt, even with your glass, jaw you would take him. But don’t do it. Why put your good looks in harms way?
February 10th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Incredible! I’m picturing 2Oceansvibe cheerleaders and a huge crowd chanting “Seth, Seth, Seth”!
February 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Quaility…made my day
February 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Feck, nevermind the fight, that water must have been poes-cold dude. Is there anything you can’t do? Nope, didn’t think so. Randy, watch your arse, china…
February 10th, 2009 at 10:53 am
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Posts like these are exactly why I am so crazy in love with you Seth.
Like, bra-elastic-burningly stupidly crazy in love.
I just want you to know that I volunteer as the scantily-clad cheerleader for this monumental boxing event. As long as I get to take the first swing at that Randal moron.
February 10th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Randall, you pint-sized twit! How dare you ask “who exactly are you”. How can you judge what is basically a popularity contest if you don’t even know South Africa’s most popular ‘cewebrity’?
February 10th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I love how personal this is all getting. Randall must not forget the power of the internet though, and how much this could tarnish his reputation even more (if that is possible).
Randall, I am sure you have a good reputation in your industry but we don’t care, because we are not in it.
February 10th, 2009 at 10:59 am
ooo ooo ooo – we need voting buttons, like:
Is Randall behaving like:
a) A doos
b) A really big doos
c) All of the above times infinity whatever you say
February 10th, 2009 at 11:01 am
baaaaahahaahahahaha – that is priceless!! Congrats – that is true Rotherham class.
After the fight Moet on me young man…
February 10th, 2009 at 11:06 am
I don’t think it will be as one-sided as some are expecting though.
I remember seeing Randall cleaning up three guys once in a drunken brawl outside Contis in the 90’s, after one of them knocked his jug of Tafel beer.
So this should be one hell of a match up.
February 10th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Absolute classic…you better publish the aftermath of Randalls broken nose and mess up his hair a little…that will do the trick!
February 10th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Finally, KAZAM!!
Finally, Randall you pompous twat.
Finally, You gonna get your teeth knocked out!!
February 10th, 2009 at 11:15 am
I think I know a little boy who needs a change of undies!
February 10th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Brilliant Seth! Hehehe
Unbelievable that these pompous amateurs responded to having their pretentious bubble pricked! Idiots!
C’mon folks, support Seth’s noble cause and get this wannabe trash terminated! Write to webenquiries@multichoice.co.za and demand that Idols is removed
February 10th, 2009 at 11:18 am
BWHA HA HA HA HAH A HA HA HAHA..
fucking demon video… awesome stuff..
February 10th, 2009 at 11:20 am
What a lag.
February 10th, 2009 at 11:28 am
You rock my world …you have made my day my friend!!! Do yourself a favour get him to wear the tux he wore for his wedding…he’ll make a slippery entrance…i think the colour was “mother of pearl”.
Good Work big love boytjie xx
February 10th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Kik hom stukken is sy ma se vreet P…
I think u should as for Myra to be put in the ring too… someone needs to smack some kind of sense into her head!
February 10th, 2009 at 11:38 am
AWE SETH!
KICK RANDALL IN HIS P*%S!!!!
YOU HAVE THE JUNKY FUNKY KID$ FROM $ALT RIVER BACKING YOU UP!
HO$H RANDALL JOU BANG DING! RAAK WYS! EN WAT WAT!
February 10th, 2009 at 11:48 am
shyte dude
Randall is funny, I know the guy, he is petite, perhaps 1.7m max and definitely not intimidating, he would get boxed in real life as well 
February 10th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Hi there guys,
Randall has established himself within the music industry quite securely. However, Sometimes with security comes the indulgence of tyranny. Randall has moved away from commentary of a purely appropriate critic to one who prays on the dreams on innocent ppl.
Take a page from the books of Gareth and Mara, Mr Abrahams and develop a soul or perhaps a blood vessel…. or 2
The Champ
February 10th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Every what the meaning of RANDALL is?
R-red neck
A-Ass hole
N-Nazi
D-Doos
A-Anal raider
L-Lesbian hater
L-Losser
February 10th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Seth, Seth Seth, i am as straight as they come, but you my pumpkin, may touch me in my special place… This has been lekka funny from start to finish. Randal, you’re a blithering idiot!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Brilliant. Kick his ass seabass.
February 10th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Dude, that is so funny!!!!!!!
Great work on that video…lololol!!!!
I would love to have seen Randall’s face as he watched that clip, dammit, that guy is toast!!!
What are the bets of him actually responding….he probably thinks he is above a response!
Keep the clips coming Seth, train hard and keep the focus!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Hey team,
Wow! Thanks for the support – means a lot. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Like that time… nevermind.
Looking forward to hearing from Randall…
x
February 10th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Oh.
My.
God!
This is going to be the best thing to happen to Cape Town, maybe even…the world, since the TBG.
I would pay money to watch this fight.
Will Dave challenge after Randal I wonder?
February 10th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I just mailed Randall, just to make sure he knows about the challenge. What a cock. Destroy him Seth!
February 10th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
well played
February 10th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
We should put some money on this
…
Still, probably one of the funniets replies sent in the history of mankind!
February 10th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
make a support group on “failbook”
February 10th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I would pay good money to see Randal drop. What a twat!! Go Seth, I’ve got your back.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
don’t forget to #brandminus idols on twitter seth.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
WTF was Randal thinking!
If I can offer any advice to Randal is……………..RUN!!!!!!!!!
Dude, seriously you can give criticism out but you can’t take it!
SETH for President!
February 10th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
funny sh*t! You just need a wife called Adriaaaan and it’s a done deal. Maybe klap Shawn (No.39) when you’re done with Randall. I don’t dig his vibe.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Kick him past his poes!!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I hope that Randall gets hit like he owes you rent! Tear that girl a new one.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I’m in … R 100 on the ‘Sethmeister’ to down Randall in 3.
Where do we lodge the cash ???
February 10th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Finally, I just finally want to say that I can finally use ‘finally’ as many times as I want. Finally!!
KO!!
February 10th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Randal, Randal, Randal… my Dad always told me, “as jy dom is moet jy kak!”. Randal, I hope you understood that Chommy, cause your ‘professional integrity’ is looking a bit kak to say the least. WTF were you thinking taking on someone with a massive following at their own game on thier own turf? That is not very intelligent and I think someone lost their patience there Randal. tut tut, very unprofessional.
Seth, kick is ass on behalf of everyone who has been subjected to his ‘insightful yet witty’ comments on that super average show and for his generally KAK attitude in real life (clearly highlighted by the tone of his email).
February 10th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
This is quite simply the best post I have ever read and seen. Legen-dary!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
hahahahhaha. Seth, me boyo. You’ve outdone yourself this time.
Kick him in the cunt!!
Anyway. I really do think ol’ Randy is a waste of space but I don’t wish that sort of end to her.
Besides, Randy already looks like a distressed leather sofa at the moment. I’ve seen better stomachs on corpses.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Shame…Randy looks like a distressed leather sofa at the moment. I’ve seen better stomachs on corpses.
February 10th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
hey is that onrus?
February 10th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!
Can’t wait to see wannabe Randall clapped in his beak! If i hear one more pathetic comment from him trying to be Simon Cowel i will unsubscribe from dstv…
that movie was priceless
February 10th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
give him a c.unt punt
February 10th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Seth you ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! Will be backing you 100%!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
This is absolute shit. GROW UP.
Honestly…what absolute rubbish. I also have a question: Do you even know who Chomsky is?
February 10th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Of course we do Michelle. He’s the hippo on the Chomp wrappers. Duh.
February 10th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Seth you legend….
Kick his ass !!!
February 10th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Who wants to start a betting pool!?
February 10th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Awesome stuff, can’t wait to see what happens next!
Go Seth, Go!
February 10th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
speechless…
February 10th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
I think Joans comment. No 30. Is the best comment so far
February 10th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
You poor, trusting fools. Can you not see that Seth is being used? This is CLEARLY a cynical attempt by the TV station to create an online controversy to attract attention to an otherwise moribund TV show. The oldest trick in the book.
February 10th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
like anybody gives a shit mr bones…
February 10th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I wanna see a Seth Rotherham 30 point punch combo! Wahhahahahaha! Go SETH!
February 10th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Thats is just too awesome for words!!!! I love the way Randy schemes he is the Bully now because he is on TV!!!! Imagine how much the cool kids must have punished him back in the day!”Test my intellegence and patience…” WAAAAAA does he think the rules have changed?you cant give a bully-boy challenge involving intellect or patience…idiot! Everyone knows that?! One thing I will tell you is he is back in the chair at his shrink!Your challenge has brought back the memories of being slapped around in the showers after PT!!! Oh…and Randy, winning a patience compo doesnt lay to rest the ghost of all those locker room beatings!!!
February 10th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Handbags at dawn methinks . . .
February 10th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Brilliant video!
We need a platform that judges creative talent like this!
February 11th, 2009 at 2:38 am
This has to be cooked up by an agency.
Anyway, hopefully Randall will get what’s coming to him.
February 11th, 2009 at 7:27 am
I read this story for the first time the other day and I have to admit I found it pretty damn hilarious.
With everything that’s happened over the last couple of days this is starting to sound more and more like a marketing scheme.
Remember the professional actor that was planted in a previous season? Come on, a televised boxing match with proceeds to go to charity?
A gold star to the marketing guy that came up with this one.
February 11th, 2009 at 8:12 am
Sounds like a heap of fun, or perhaps just a rerun:

Rich,
Posting a link to your own blog is taking things a little far. especially if its a piece of shit. You had so much to say about 2Oceans and the Sa Blog awards so Im just wondering what you doing over here with the cool kids?
I see you have managed to post 3 entries in 2009, that must be some sort of record for Joblog?
February 11th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
ha-ha-ha Randall made a school boy error, he retaliated to the “press” with the press?
haha looser
February 12th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Randall best practice his bending …
Seth, be sure u use a condom!
February 12th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Randall is tone deaf. The guy is an ‘idiot’ – there is no other way to put it. “Yours is not an opinion shared by large numbers of people” — I hate to burst your bubble Randall but large numbers(most) in South Africa think you’re an idiot! You’re delusional if you think otherwise! Merchandising or not, your faggot-slap responses won’t save you.
February 12th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
I will donate R500.00 to a charity of your choice should you beat Randall in a properly judged boxing match, whether on points or by knock-out!
Can you tell that I don’t like Randall very much
February 13th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Seth you are a fcking LEGEND!
randall go sleep…people are over you bru – and yes randall it is a view shared by the MAJORITY of South Africans – clearly you suffer from an irony deficiency!
February 13th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Seth you’re a dick, but an extremely entertaining one. Big ups to you. Love the blog. Randall is a dick as well. But unless he is engaging you in bitch fighting, he is about as entertaining as a used teabag.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
A retirement home with handbags and walkers at 15 paces would be more fun than watching those two pansies slugging it out…
Idols? Didn’t that end in the 80’s??
February 13th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Vir R 100 sal ek vir Seth namens Randall Moer
February 24th, 2009 at 9:45 am
screw this randal crap! im into seth!
April 6th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Hahahaha. Pissed myself laughing. How retarded are these guys… Hope he accepts.
April 30th, 2009 at 10:47 am
I will fly down to CP to see this, awesome video!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
GO SETH…..IM THERE!..FATALITY!
