Flashy hands couldn't save Joe Kazadi and Ayanda Sibisi.

The dreams of two aspiring actors were dashed on BET's Top Actor SA on Thursday (9 April) when they became the first contenders to be bounced from the stage.

The show premiered last week - it airs on Thursdays at 19h55 - and features a crowd of aspiring actors competing for recognition, future work, an agent and R100 000.

The first two to see the stagedoor slam on them were 24-year-old Joe Kazadi and 28-year-old Ayanda Sibisi who were eliminated after failing to make the necessary impact with their performances. The task for the week involved the performance of a scene from the play The Prince of Theatre by Antandwa Kani. Contestants had to prove their acting chops during a three-hour rehearsal followed by a performance for an audience and judges.

With Joe and Ayanda out of the way, 10 remain. They are:
