When M-Net’s Dancing With The Stars South Africa lit up screens all over SA on Sunday, there were two thoughts front and centre in viewer’s minds:
1. Hell yeah. That should be me!
2. How can I rearrange the furniture and turn this lounge into a stage?
If you didn’t tune in and you’re feeling all kinds of fomo, it’s not too late, pause what you’re reading, and watch the first episode online on DStv Now. It’s available right now, so you too can get involved in all those conversations around Proverb looking so lovingly at Liesl Laurie, and how strict judge Tebogo Kgobokoe really is.
If you feel like you could have been a contender, you’re not alone. Wilmabees, serial TV show enterer and dogged fan, feels the same way. Watch her bright star as it dims with disappointment for not being the chosen one, even though ALL her friends say she’s amazing. *no money was exchanged in the making of this clip...
Like Wilmabees, you need to Foxtrot past your regret, and get into the show.
If you enjoyed that, catch Wilmabees’s attempt to catch the eye of the Survivor SA audition team here. Also, #fail.
