Season 1
The spotlight sparkles on the effervescent and lovable YFM Twinz, Hlelo and Ntando Masina.
Their bubbly voices are heard on radio, they are seen all over the small screen and it seems as if these fabulous ladies are on the social scene 24/7. Finally viewers get to see what life in Mzansi's fab lane is like with Blame It on Fame.
The show goes behind the scenes with the Twinz as they high-heel their way through everyday life and mingle with Mzansi's rich and famous.
Produced by Rapid Blue, the series promises to give South Africa more glitz and glam than a sushi and champagne party and some startling revelations that not even a search engine could provide.
The sassy Twinz have two different personalities. Hlelo is well-opinionated, has attitude and stands firmly for what she believes in, while Ntando is the easier-going twin. She is witty and humorous.
Hlelo finds herself trying to understand Ntando and often pops the cloud that Ntando seems to constantly float on.
Each episode of Blame It on Fame is themed around an event, a daily-life curveball, or a feud involving family or friends of the Twinz. Sometimes about something mundane, or sometimes about something bigger.
The show tracks the daily doings and schmoozings of Hlelo and Ntando, following them to malls, the gym, their celeb connections, parties and other major social events on the Jozi calendar.
