Since the producers of the singing competition needed ways to keep viewers interested in the show after fan favourite Somizi stepped away from his duties, they decided to bring in a new judge each week. The choices were not hitting the spot for fans of the show until Dineo changed the tune.

Sunday World reports that Ranaka was the first guest judge to make fans forget about the missing judge for a second. Dineo trended with positivity on social media after her judging gig, leading some fans to request that she books a few more episodes.

This past Sunday, Zaharah stepped into the judging seat. Although viewers did not have many complaints about her, some took to Twitter to continue campaigning for Dineo's judging seat.

@thlogi_mash_jnr tweeted:

"I thought they were gonna appoint her as a resident judge, Dineo is the right person for that chair #idolssa"

'Idols SA' viewers sing Dineo Ranaka’s praises after guest judging the show

Briefly News reported Dineo Ranaka seems to be the only guest judge to get a thumbs-up from viewers since Mzansi's favourite singing competition said goodbye to Somizi. The producers of Idols SA came up with the idea of introducing a different guest judge each week to make up for the massive personality being absent.

SABC News reports that Somizi will not be leaving Idols permanently but is rather taking a bit of time off from work. The publication reports that the media personality was granted time off to deal with personal matters.

So, to keep viewers engaged in the show, Idols SA producers decided to invite a different celeb to join the judging panel each week. So far, the choices have not landed well until Dineo Ranaka waltzed in to save the day.

Dineo passed the viewers' vibe check with flying colours, reports ZALebs.
