What's the show looking for?The inside scoop from an insider:
"We are looking for pairs with a lot of personality, who have a great rapport. We want to know why people are motivated to win the R1 million, and we are looking for people who are passionate and even competitive! (But these are obviously not the only criteria that we're after.)
"Sometimes a pair just walks in with a magical chemistry between them - whether they're best friends, life partners or family members - and are the type of people who the rest of South Africa can relate to.
"Upon arrival at auditions, contestants will be asked a few very simple general knowledge questions. They might also be interviewed by a member of the production team, and based on their general knowledge and the personalities of
both contestants, they'll either progress to the next round or not.
