Forever Young, is it scripted?

Written by Cheesa from the blog Cheesa Chat on 19 Mar 2012

So this past Friday I remembered that there is a reality show called, Forever Young and it happened that it plays on Fridays at 19h00 pm so I was not late to catch it. It was going to be my first time watching it, as it started the previous week apparently.

So I tuned into Vuzu to see what Forever Young is all about and to see Lungsta’s sexiness *sigh*. 


The show started showing them arriving in Brazil at ntoni ntoni De Janoro. Lungsta is the one who organized the trip to Brazil for them. He was in charge of transport, accommodation and everything.

They had a bit of drama with transport and accommodation but it was later sorted. Apparently Lungsta organized a top notch transport for them to take them from the airport to the hotel but there was no transport. They ended up taking a bus to the hotel.

They arrived at the hotel but the place they arrived at didn’t seem like a hotel. They started panicking. Siya and Thomas asked Lungsta if that place is the hotel he told them about, that it’s a place next to the beach and there’s a Jacuzzi and all. Lungsta told them it is not what he was showed by Flavio the person he was dealing with. 


He started making phone calls to Flavio querying about the venue telling him where they are and that it is not the place he showed him on the internet. While he was busy with that, Siya and Thomas were taking pictures with the locals and chatting about whatever.

It happened that they were at the wrong street at the wrong place. They went to another street and got the place they were looking for. Hayi ke the boys made themselves comfortable picking rooms then hit the streets of Brazil.

They went out to have fun by the beach and met with their SA friends including Dj Dimplez. They had a drinking spree. Thomas was going crazy like a kid from the rurals who just arrived in the city. He was having the most fun. Apparently he didn’t want to go to Brazil at first but ended up going with the influence of his friends. 

Hehehe then the acting began! Something that showed me that the show which is supposed to be a reality show is scripted!!!! Thomas’ girlfriend actress, Samukelo Ndlovu appeared at this restaurant looking a bit depressed.

While they were showing her, they were also showing Thomas going crazy in Brazil having fun. He was like a kid in a candy store. Samukelo’s friend joined her at the restaurant and they started chatting about Thomas being away and stuff.

The friend, I think her name is Olwethu kept on asking Samu why she let Thomas go to Brazil. Samu was missing Thomas. Olwethu asked Samu if Thomas has communicated with her since he left for Brazil and Samu told her he hadn’t. 


Samu was making excuses about what could be the reason Thomas hadn’t called her and all that. Olwethu asked her why she was making excuses for him. Hheyi this whole thing was a big deal with this Olwethu girl. She even told Samu how glad she was that Matli (the actor) her boyfriend didn’t go to Brazil.

What showed me that this show is also scripted like Blame it on Fame was the fact that there was a camera following Samu. Like why the hell should there be a camera following Samukelo??

I mean the show is about Lungsta, Thomas and Siya not her too. Yes she is Thomas’ girlfriend but why there should be a camera following her specifically with no Thomas around when she is not part of the show but part of Thomas’ life? Shouldn’t she be appearing on the show when she is around with Thomas? 

Heee and the acting went on with Olwethu and Samukelo at the restaurant! Akere they were busy debating this Thomas issue being in Brazil? So Samukelo went to the ladies and left her Blackberry on the table leaving Olwethu there with it.

Olwethu grabbed Samu’s blackberry and sent a BBM to Thomas. And mind you all those guys are using the same blackberry which is Siya’s.

After Olwethu was done sending the BBM she checked the coast to see if Samu is not coming and put the BB back on the table pretending she didn’t do anything. Samu came back and they started chatting again. 

Samu showed Olwethu an article in one of the Sunday papers which is about her and Jafta Mamabolo being love birds telling Olwethu that Thomas has not seen the article etc.

Back in Brazil, Siya received the BBM and he was the first to see it before Thomas. He had this long face after reading the BBM. We still dunno what was said on the BBM that spoiled everyone’s mood in Brazil.

Siya only said the BBM is gonna spoil things for them especially Thomas coz he was the one having the most fun more than anyone else. Siya told Lungsta that there is something he wants to talk to him about. 


Hayi ke he just showed him the BBM and Lungsta also changed face after reading the BBM and told Siya that Thomas should not see that BBM coz it is gonna spoil the mood.

While they were busy trying to hide the BBM issue from Thomas. Back in South Africa Matli joined Samu and Olwethu at the restaurant. Matli seemed like he didn’t know what he was there for.

He also joined “the three guys being Brazil” convo saying he wished he was in Brazil too. Olwethu kept on being touchy touchy with him as if she was trying to make Samu jealous that her boyfriend is with her etc you know how they do it in soapies mos? 

Hayike back in Brazil Lungsta and Siya agreed that Thomas should not see the BBM. Lungsta even said Siya must delete it if he has to. They went back to have fun with other guys. Thomas didn’t suspect any bad vibes with Lungsta and Siya.

So this Friday they are going to show Thomas and Lungsta fighting about the BBM thing. Thomas will see it eventually and go mad that they hid it from him. He is going to be mad especially with Lungsta. Siya will be the referee trying to stop the fight.

What we don’t know is whether Olwethu sent a dumping BBM or that Thomas should come back or else…We don’t know.

But shem for me I saw a lot of acting in that reality show that reminded me of Blame it on Fame and the show is full of actors anyway.

If you watched what did you think?

Several time on the table reading what happend on the show, COZ it sounds horrible, or maybe its the way you presented the 'fails' in the show Cheesa.

LOL GA trust me it happened exactly how you just read it. I know when I am watching TV analyze everything but hheyi hayi shem that show ne! It was like some drama or soapie.

Even now reading this sounds like a script of some drama! I was like Gosh these guys must not pull another Nonhle Goes to Hollywood on us! 

Now the transport and accomodation thing makes me think it was part of creating drama. Hayi ke the camera in SA part gave it away totally!.

I forgot to mention the reality show I am liking at the moment is Running with the Reps also on Vuzu Tuesdays at 19h30. I know those boys are famous for nothing but their reality show is entertaining shem. And seems more real than any other SA reality show.

No offence to Lunsta but I still don't see why women are going gaga over him

Apparently Lungsta organized a top notch transport for them to take them from the airport to the hotel but there was no transport. They ended up taking a bus to the hotel.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *dead*

They had a drinking spree. Thomas was going crazy like a kid from the rurals who just arrived in the city.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

While they were showing her, they were also showing Thomas going crazy in Brazil having fun. He was like a kid in a candy store. Samukelo’s friend joined her at the restaurant and they started chatting about Thomas being away and stuff.
Of course these things are scripted, rehearsed and the perfect scene is filmed lol

Like why the hell should there be a camera following Samukelo??
I mean the show is about Lungsta, Thomas and Siya not her too
Thank you

Please renmind me to check it out this week neh Cheesto

I agree with you Cheesa, Some of the scenes from the show look VERy cooked and planned! 

I was also wondering why they would show us Samkelo, i was ike uhhmmm, and we are seeing her because....? Secondly, is Lungsta and Siya single? Why is the camera NOT following their lovers?

Anyway, the fight that is to come in thye next episode looked very heated, i cant wait to see,,,and this whole thing of hiding that BBM was probably to create suspence and keep up guessing, for all we know the BBM said 'I miss you a lot Thomas'

It looks like a good reality show, but they must hang on a little with the acting and stop planning it!

Secondly, is Lungsta and Siya single? Why is the camera NOT following their lovers? They said they are single kwi 1st episode . I am sucker for reality shows plus I'm a hug fan of these youngsters including Samu so I might be a lil biased when it comes to whether the show is gud or not *hides* But ekumele nikwazi is all reality shows are SCRIPTED , from the Kardashians to The Braxton sisters . Speaking of which last week Thursday Monique was interviewing the Braxton Sisters on the Monique Show sabc 2 and she asked the Braxton sisters if reality shows are scripted or not and they said yes . Otherwise the viewers would get bore !

Siya doesn't have a girlfriend. On the first episode, he said to Thomas when he was having problems with Samu that every man should have at least six girlfriends because there are enough women on earth. A re yena he is happily single, not in a relationship and dating as many women as he wants.

Scripted or not, I love the show, especially Siya, AKA Scook. He is crazy and says whatever comes to mind without thinking, no tact at all. That scene I talked above on my previous post was hilarious and Thomas was having relationship issues, talking to a friend and looking for sound advice but got a lot of gibberish from Scoop. The look on Thomas's face was literally saying he regrets even asking him for advice, LOL

is that Thomas or Jafta with Samu in that naked pic? whoever it is damn that's a nice booty! Between the two (Forever young & Running with the Reps)I am not sure which is worse, both of them lack direction but that said damn some of those Reps are hot! and what's with the sagging pants on all of them? it's a house full of horny boys and they are walking around flashing their booty's like that? am I missing something? On a lighter note to all those that don't find Lungsta attractive, don't worry we understand! lol!

i am reality show ho but this one aint ma cuppatea.they come across as teenagers or juvenilish for my viewing tastes.i stopped watching when they showed the hotel scene with samu and all afta the channel o awards.the swag is a bit too much for me,i cant stand the lingo.#running back to kenny's private jet to eat idombolo nomgodu#

"Not in a relationship but dating as many women he wants".............. Am I missing something here O_o ............ Have to agree with you Tizoz some of those Reps boys are hot sheim. I'm so gonna watch tonight I wanna see the fight. Sometimes I always wonder what they're parents say when they're watching that show phela those boys are wild and some of them are young.............Cngle I was not impressed by So What first of episode of this season. It was so boring their "reality show" is more of a documentary than a reality show. They talk alot to the camera and try too hard to come across as these "motivational speakers" that they want to be. Ingathi bazondidika bona kuse early..................... About ubu juvenilish on Forever Young hayi sheim I also did spot some childishness on them. I don't know this obsession with swagg on SA celebs they come across as people who are trying too hard to be seen as like they're living the life. It just does not happen naturally with them man.
