Monday- Weekend Wrap Up

                                      Wrapping up weekend TV



Weekend television is always something to look forward to, especially if you don't have any plans. Here are some shows I watched this weekend.



 I don't know if anybody has noticed but Idols has become very monotonous, scripted and a bit boring. It is has changed along the years and has lost that "thing". I am honestly tired of people going on to the show to embarrass themselves knowing very well that they can't sing at all. Yes some could describe their actions as being brave, stepping out of their comfort zones and even ticking off their bucket list. But I am  pretty much sure there are other ways to acquire the 5min fame they look for. I'm just glad the auditions are over.



On the other hand OPW this Sunday was quite interesting. First things first Thembisa Mdoda's well thought out outfits and her undisputed talent of presenting really elevates the show to another level. As for the young pastor the groom, who seemed to be all over the place with his not so great dancing.  Went as far as describing himself as a pastor "wesmanje manje" which to me proves that he too saw that his actions were a bit over the top. With that statement he was also subtly suggesting that  pastors who are older are boring as watching paint dry . I choose to differ from his opinion, in my eyes I saw a bit of an immature individual who lacked that bit of humbleness. He should certainly not expect me at his next sermon. Lastly can somebody tell me how does one plan a wedding with just R18 in their bank account.


I quite enjoy watching new shows but sometimes I find that they are almost a repeat of shows that once existed. But ever since INumba Numba started I have been looking forward to Sunday evenings in front of the telly. It is a breath of much needed fresh air, I appreciate the amount of new  faces, they bring a different element to the show as we don't really know what to expect from them. I thoroughly appreciate the talent that is Sdumo Mtshali, his dedication to his craft is clearly visible in his portrayal of any character he plays. The fact that the location is in the actual township, really helps us experience the core of the storyline. Israel is also brilliant at interpreting what is really going on in the scene and takes us with him on that journey. I look forward to seeing what they have in store for us next week, should be quite intriguing.



Which shows did you watch this weekend? What do you think of the above mentioned shows? Lets share.

Thursday All Access- In Conversation with Connie Zitha

Image
  Meet Connie Zitha who has mastered the art of plaiting, and hair magic. While her 7year old peers were running the streets, she was getting lessons on how to plait hair by her mom. This didn't sit well with her in fact it came as an irritation, but little did she know that the plaiting lessons would build her an empire.  I had a chance to sit down and get to know her business a bit better.  At the age of 13 years she started taking plaiting seriously, even got encouragement from clients to start her own business. She took this into consideration after she matriculated, although her plans were to study either psychology, teaching or nursing. But as you know life has a way of redirecting us at times. That's exactly what happened to Connie. In 2011 she opened her salon and as they say the rest is history.  In a competitive industry like hair you need to be able to stand out, and she has definitely found the for formula ''the way I start when plaiting ensures th

Thursday #Throwback- Baddest villians of all time

Image
Watching soap operas  as families played a role in our childhoods, the villain's brought even more spice to the scenes. That is why I have compiled a list of  villains that will always be in our memories. #1 Laqasha from Sgudis Snaysi He wasn't a villain per say, but he sure did give us a scare when he came around with his stick ready to break Sdumo's knees. As a child I told myself that I would never want to run into Laqasha in a dark alley.       #2 Stefano DiMera from days of our lives     This man has to be the baddest villain I've watched on television. He taunted people, even from beyond the grave. His obsession with Marlena was the most scariest thing to watch. He terrified  me for years even now I still get nightmares.            #3 David Genaro from Rhythm City     This character will definitely go down in history as one of the baddest villains we've ever witnessed.  His ability to control any situation to suit
