Okay, I'm not going to write about the weather again, although as rather water-logged Jo'burgers we've become as anal about the weather as Capetonians are! (It's freezing btw, winter arrived today.) So for those who aren't taking advantage of long leave with all the public holidays, let's look at the launch of SA's own Survivor by Mnet. I for one, can't wait. Imagine, as example, a line up like this trying to survive on an island somewhere in Panama, but with all our unique SA dynamics... Frikkie, the tow truck driver from the East Rand interacting with Sipho, the tough Metro cop from Soweto; with Storm the kugel from Sandton and Dave, the 'horticultural' student from Cape Town? Maybe they will throw in a business high-flyer, a farmer or a surfer dude from Durbs as well... it should be an ad makers dream and a great source of trivia for later on in the year when it launches, as Mnet will pretty much stick to the formula of the hugely successful US version of the show. Trust no one...
Enjoy!
