Idols SA: All the drama of theatre week round 1

Johannesburg – Theatre week, also known as hell week, kicked off with a bang! The 79 golden ticket winners hardly made it off the bus when they were hit with a twist. They would audition as soon as they stepped off the bus. They performed for the judges and were either sent to sit on the white or red seats.

While the first lot of ‘survivors’ thought they were safe. the second bus of golden ticket winners were just touching the ground. The same fate befell them.

With the first round of theatre week auditions out of the way it was time for the make or break group stage or as one contestant put it, "Welcome to the 10th annual Hunger Games".

Scrabbling for songs and groups made for interesting viewing and in the end it was a battle between the North and the South with two groups going head to head with the same song. In the end there were only 31 survivors left standing.

Here’s what went down!

Hot seat vs the safe seat.



Just when they thought they were safe they got shuffled.

And then commenced the battle of North vs South.


And then came the casualties of group stage.


Here's what Twitter had to say about the group round.
