lol, think the reason why Isidingo is losing kilo is because Scandal! does not repeat on weekends, I love Isidingo, but I watch scandal coz I will catch Isidingo Sunday morning

Like I said last week Isidingo will lose next time, this is the next time and they have lost. Watch again next time, they will lose more...

And some people watch Scandal simply because they think its better then Isidingo,cause I'm not at home on Sundays to watch Isidingo... I go to church! So... Isidingo loses over 300 000 viewers and Scandal grabs them all! Nice one!

I wonder what is nice about Scandal. Is it Abigail hai

I always wonder why people defend Isidngo and make excuse for why they lose viewers and say other soapies lose because they have bad stories. So, Isidingo too, they have bad stories proof is the viewership going. Why make excuses for them? This patronising story of Charlie learning tsotsitaal and Zulu and us black people must be happy about that. How patronizing? I find it offensive actually...

And they say Isidingo is the best soap in Mzantsi, what a load of crap. The storylines suck, the actors try too hard, and the new time slot- not really working for them...

@Shanydoodle & @Biggiesmalls I agree with you guys...well said indeed...

I am still a die hard support of Isidingo i will not give up i still say what is nice about Scandal? biggiesmalls  i understand you dont like Isidingo but really if we compare it to Generations Isidingo is the best phela people like junk food go to KFC and go to a healthy food shop you will find KFC pack and healthy food None ke niks di line tse snaaks

Isidingo is so not better then Scandal! Lmfao! Damn! Not only do I like both soapies,I also study acting,sriptwriting and directing and have been doing theatre work and working on arts festivals,Scandal is better then Isidingo in terms of storyline and good acting. But I refuse to compare the 2,they both uniquely great
