Everything you need to know about Wedding Bashers 2

Cape Town – The Wedding Bashers return for a second season on Sunday, 14 October at 18:00 on M-Net (DStv 101).

Season 1 of the original M-Net production was so popular that it even had a special four-episode series in which the bashers themselves turned wedding planners. (Read more here)

If you’re new to the show this is how it works.

The four wedding bashers judge the décor, entertainment, food, and fashion for an overall score.  At the end of the season the wedding of the year will be crowned. 

Now that you’re up to speed, here’s what you need to know about the new season.

1. NEW JUDGES

Joining wedding planner Zavion Kotze and TV presenter Denise Zimba are former Miss South Africa Bernelee Daniell and chef and food stylist Zola Nene who are replacing Cindy Nell-Roberts and Siba Mtongana. 

Zavion will judge the decor, Denise the wedding entertainment, Zola the food and Bernelee the fashion.

2. 1 WEDDING PER EPISODE

In the first season there were two weddings per episode. This time around there will only be one wedding per episode. This means viewers can get to know the couple better. 

There will be 15 wedding episodes and a 16th one in which the winner will be crowned.

3. NEW SCORING SYSTEM

In the first season each basher scored the wedding on their respective areas. Their overall experience score was then done in secret.

This season the bashers will be giving their overall score which will be revealed to the viewers. For input on their respective areas there’s a new rating wheel representing levels such as “OMG Amazing” and “Ho Hum”. 

When added together it will determine the top five weddings that make it to the finale of the competition. 

Viewers can also give their score online which will be added to the judges score to determine the top 5 for the finale.

4. LEADERBOARD

Also new this season is the leaderboard which will be updated every week as the weddings are scored. 

This will also enable viewers to keep track of where their favourites are.
