This show needs review really. It's kinda boring and the winning structure "the winner takes all" is not fair at all. For instance this weekend, that gal won 5k on her own, and got the whole 35k at the end while the dude was working himself out by doing all the tasks given, no no no man, this is totally unfair.

Raps, pls try something out man. Atleast a person must win her/his share and u top up with that 10k.

Still, come on… that guy said he had a bad temper, right… and even after he said in his insert that he is not short/hot-tempered, its just when he gets angry it gets ugly.. Raps still continued to say ‘ke rapelwana’ and the menial task he was given to test the temper... like, come-on! How exactly are Marie biscuits and peanut butter supposed to make a man angry??

Me thinks the show needs more action. It's not a bad idea... it just needs to be more creative.

And as for the shades, Raps we know its summer but please, it mustnt be your uniform. LOLest!

@Carino, u're rite.

And my concern is: u know when they're looking for something? .... at the end they must show that person where it was. (eg: that piece/word that the gal was looking for at that playground) not to send her to the next task.

Otherwise, its better to have a new ambush Ambush show instead of Friends like these every freakin' time.

Yeah the show is great except for the winner taking it all. ay that is not on shem. Its watchable. I just hate his shades, they need to go.

What's with the leather jacket? nd shades

carino
22 Nov 2010 12:05

No, yha... the shades definitely need to go. And that line where he says.. “I’m just a man with a lot of money like Donald Trump minus the hair” OR “Like PDiddy minus the bling. Heheheh..

And eish, Raps le yena... his swagger just doesn’t come together properly. You can see he’s doing it but eish... not exactly complete. Maybe he should have a co-host. Him and BFF Kenny would kill it together.. The constant narration is just a bit annoying.

I think that show prodicers should go back to finish whatever they yhave scribbled on the drawing board because the truth is that they cant give us a half cooked show.

the things the call stunts....how can eating peanut butter with marie biscuit be a stunt?

For instance this weekend, that gal won 5k on her own, and got the whole 35k at the end while the dude was working himself out by doing all the tasks given, no no no man, this is totally unfair.

the other thing that is misleading is that after every task(*sigh* stunt) you are told that you have "won" R5K

truth needs to be told at this stage...it should be something like "you have R5K in your bank which if you win the ulltimate challenge you will take home"

this way i think it wont be too painful if you dont win the fianal chalenge

I think I was traumatised by those hideous shades. Maybe i can try and watch if he can stop wearing them not forgetting that skoli leather jacket. Ingathi uzobaba inkunzi.

@Queen Bee
I also don't like the part whereby a person who has made a lot of money ends up going home with nothing. It is not fair at all

Its really not fair ppl will end hating each other. Coz sometimes its ppl who know each other.

I only managed to watch the first episode, haai that show is boring. I have so much love for Raps but the shades are one of the reasons I decided not to watch anymore.
