I’m not very familiar with the world of supermodels and stuff, but give me a reality tv show and I’m
there.
Last night SABC 3 started “Make me a Supermodel”.
Having given that Bachelors and their sick momma’s a miss, I thought I would check out the new show, not thinking I would like it.
I’m not really sure if I liked the show or Tyson Beckford…but enjoy it I did. But hey, it’s a reality tv show and like I said, I love those.
None of the male contestants I saw had anything on Tyson.
That man is freaking HOT!
Arghhhh… let me just start working!

I bought my 14 January 2010 You magazine today and there were the 18 “celebs” who are about to star in Survivor SA: Santa Carolina.
M-net will be broadcasting the series from 20 January 2010.
While many of the faces (if not their names) are known, I would probably describe some as B-listers. A few wouldn’t even make any lists at all.
We have a few who are reality tv whores – meaning they’ve appeared on other reality shows and would probably appear on more if given half the chance.
Included in this list are:
1. Cindy Nell-Roberts, 28 (Strictly Come Dancing, Miss SA)
2. Ashley Hayden, 42 (Strictly Come Dancing)
3. Garth Collins, 43 (Strictly Come Dancing)
4. Sade Giliberti, 24 (So You Think You Can Dance – host)
5. Kaseran Pillay, 33 (Going Nowhere Slowly)
Soap actors :
6. Izak Davel, 26 (Scab in Egoli)
7. Christina Storm, 35 (Bienkie 2, Egoli)
8. Gys de Villiers, 49 (7de Laan, Binnelanders)
9. Sandi Schultz, 45 (Dr Adams, Binnelanders)
Also:
10. Okkert Brits, 36 (former pole vaulter)
11. Darren Maule, 37 (comedian and actor, Hard Copy)
12. Craig Jacobs, 35 (designer)
Totally Unknown (to me) :
13. GiGi, 42 (exotic dancer and actress)
14. ProVerb, 28 (hiphop artist)
15. Jub Jub, 29 (musician)
16. Lady Lea, 29 (DJ)
17. Hanna Grobler, 27 (actress and Bok van Blerk’s girlfriend)
18. Louw Venter, 34 (actor, comedian)

By now the entire planet is probably aware that the queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey, will end her show on 9 September 2011.
The implications in highly competitive US markets are said to be far reaching.
But that doesn’t even take into account what the next two years is going to do to us Oprah Show viewers, regular and otherwise!
Just imagine it…
Two years of goodbyes from actors, self-help gurus, murderers, victims of every imaginable atrocity, make-over artists, home decorators…
Two years of final of everythings.
Retrospectives of good, bad and ugly hair years, ugly crying moments…fat and lean years…
Will we be able to handle it?
Worst of all will we South Africans once again have to be subjected to Noelene of 3 Talk at 5.30pm
weekdays?

So I decided to skip the first few minutes of the final result show.
Because we all know how they like to drag things out on a normal night, never mind the final.
The top three were announced in as slow a manner as you could imagine.
First George, then Darren and lastly Cleo’s name was called.
I nearly had heart failure at the thought of an upset.
Either George or Darren…please!
After an ad break Cleo was named in third place. Mercifully for the sake of my ears.
It came down to George and Darren – as many people predicted.
The judges said more of the same…blah, blah, blah…proud to be South African.
Eventually, after an eternity the winner was announced.
Darren!
I had a Shado moment …sniff, sniff.
Happy with the final result in the end.

This morning Ian von Memerty and Shado Twala appeared on Gareth Cliff’s breakfast show to promote tonight’s final.
They said (like us) they were delightfully surprised at the extent of the talent in this country – and the variety of different fields contestants were proficient in.
When asked why Cleo was selected ahead of drummer Daniel, Ian gave the most ridiculous answer I think I’ve heard as a reason a contestant was eliminated ahead of a less talented one.
Ian said he was afraid that Daniel was taking strain. (Not that he looked like he was.) But that’s not even the kicker.
He said Daniel has had loads of opportunities already – like performing in New Orleans, USA. And he was headed to somewhere overseas later this year.
If he had all the opportunities in the world, why would the child be taking strain in a local talent contest?
Whatever, Ian!
I thought this was SA’s Got Talent, not who can/can’t take the strain in the judges opinion.
Ian also said the two favourites are Darren and George. I agree with that.
I’ll be more than happy if neither of the two children – Kalon/ Cleo wins.
For the rest, I like them all and any of them would make a worthy winner.
I will make my decision only after viewing the acts tonight though.
