M-Net “Reprimands” Idols Contestant Freddie Van’Dango
24 Aug 2011 by Steyn du Toit / 3 Comments
As if it’s not bad enough suffering a broken ego, several bruises, and a broken cheekbone, M-Net has now also “reprimanded” Idols contestant Freddie Van’Dango. He drank alcohol on Friday night, tuned a DJ and was then apparently assaulted by a cage fighter. He claims he never raised so much as a fist himself, but does concede to having a “quick mouth and a rocker mentality.”

Idols Finalist Apparently Beaten Up By A “Cage Fighter”
23 Aug 2011 by Steyn du Toit / 7 Comments
A bout of flu broke out in the Idols house last week. To help “lift their spirits” the contestants were given permission to go out in public on Saturday night – without supervision.

TV: Seth On SABC 3′s Top Billing – ‘Roast Summer Vegetables’
31 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Ja, so basically I surprised even the great Silwood Cooking school, with my orgasmic roast summer vegetable dish. But I can’t take all the credit for it – as it was sent through from France, by Mother Dearest. Click link for the video (and recipe), in case you missed it. Fans of Idols’ Adeline will be quite pleased with this too..

There’s A Mara Louw-Shaped Hole In All Of Us
26 Jan 2011 by silverstreak / No Comments
The producers of Idols South Africa have let Mara Louw go after three seasons of racist slur, violent outbursts, faux couture and drunken shenanigans. Boy, that was fun. She was the single judge who could always be counted on to do something unscripted and rash at around the 40 minute mark of every episode. What do we do now?

Mara Louw Admits Being Drunk On Air
06 Oct 2010 by silverstreak / 1 Comment
Monday evening’s episode of Idols SA was the standard mix of tepid content, low production values, and a small group of talented vocalists vainly struggling against a tide of disinterested public, average backing tracks, and of course, inebriated judges.

So, some of you may have noticed, some of you not, that the sixth South African season of the least-successfully exported show of all time, Idols, has crawled it’s tawdry way on to our television screens.

RANDALL ABRAHAMS WITH KNOB END IN MNET TV GUIDE
02 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 11 Comments
I really do hope that Randall Abrahams doesn’t think all the negative press is a compliment to how well he is playing his “nasty” character on SA Idols. I must make it radiantly clear that this is not the case. Unlike in the US, where people “hate” the nasty judge, Simon Cowell (they do actually [...]

THIS GUY WILL WIN IDOLS
17 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Amazing how Idols is doing “so well,” yet they have urgently changed the rules, following disappointing ratings. SUDDENLY the process has changed from entering into the 12 girls / 12 guys vibe, and has gone straight to a final 14. Desperate measures to save the show in this, the Dying Swan scene. From TVSA: [...]

16 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It’s interesting to note that this whole debacle with Idols began when 2oceansvibe suggested that Dave Thompson experienced a Freudian slip when he told a contestant that there might be no a show next year. We even gave reasons for the slip, including the possibility that the show might be going on, but perhaps Dave [...]
