Jeeeeuwce. There's big beefo going on between
the judges on e.tv's new reality show Step Up Or Step Out. Specifically between Arthur Mafokate and Penny Thloloe because of their opinions on which crews should make the next stage and their points of view on the different dance styles.
no Xplanations needed
The auditions went to Durban this past weekend and a mole who was there has spilt that things between them got verrrry tense when they were choosing which crews should go to the next stage. The auditions wrapped in Durbs so crews need to be chosen for the next phase which involves a workshop.
The beef's obviously a build-up and explosion of what
Cheesa noticed at the
Cape Town auditions.
This from Cheesa's interview with Penny:
Cheesa: What do you think of the other judges you’re working with?
Penny: I think we get that question a lot. Uhmm Arthur…we seem to be oil and water for some odd reason. Uhmm... but Emile is great (laughs) I don’t know with Arthur there’s something he does which rubs me the wrong way (laughs). I think I’ll need some water to calm me down (laughs).
As Cheesa mentioned in her interview, the two have been judging very differently. The blow-out between them happened over a krumping crew.
Penny didn't like the crew and said their krumping wasn't good enough, Arthur liked them and wanted them to go through and then the two got into a heated argument when Arthur challenged Penny's knowledge on krumping.
She's a ballet and Spanish dancer and choreographer so he was like: "You go and do it and show how it should be done."
Which she didn't do. She just sort of brushed the suggestion away apparently.
