Netizens support the outrage, while others claim that there is no way SomGAGA would be left out:

"I bet that he's already part of the production and is a judge."

"Bathong! But Madame Gigi (Somizi) and Evita Bezuidenhout (Pieter-Dirk Uys) were the first famous South African drag queens on TV. Pieter is almost 80, so who else do we have but Somizi? Sadly, some things are just inevitable."
