I will say it again - Generations writers know what works for TV, if they wrote what makes us comfortable, why would we watch. This is TV at it's best and no one can say it's because you are loyal bla bla bla, if it was only loyalty, they wouldn't be growing in leaps and bounds like they are doing now, they will only be left with 6 million loyal viewers, clearly the story that people are coming to watch is exactly the one that makes them uncomfortable. That's what I call being  tv EXPERT - MFUNDI is a genius, he gave you what you didn't expet from Generations and the numbers don't lie. You can criticise them all you want but the NUMBERS DON'T LIE. You people are watching but you go on Twitter and Facebook and say you've stopped watching, so if people have stopped like they claim they have, why are the numbers growing? Ask yourself that...

Who's Still Standing is good so glad to see it in the top 10. High Rollers on SABC 3 is an exciting show. I hope it picks up more viewers.
