Special Notes
SA's Got Talent won back its spot as the most popular reality show in the country when 3-year-old DJ Arch Jnr performed on Sunday, 4 October. It premiered in #1 on 6 September, remained there for two weeks, dropped to #3 and blitzed back to #1 with DJ Arch.
The rugby had a notable impact on Muvhango on SABC2 this week. The game between Tonga and Namibia aired on Tuesday, 29 September which pushed Muvhango out to 21h30. A second episode of Muvhango aired at 22h00, bringing the overall average down for the night. On Wednesday 30 September two episodes of Muvhango aired once again, with the second one significantly lower than the first.
