The several steamy scenes on Big Brother Mzansi Season 6 have some South Africans voicing their concern about the reality TV series.

Trixie cheated on Bravo B with Que after a steamy session with Ofentse in the first week. Buhle B and Tumi the Barber went all the way during a bathroom incident that had tongues wagging on social media.

Netizens split over BBMzansi steamy scenes

Social media users flooded the comments with responses to the social media user’s question. While some responded to the question, others criticised the concept of reality TV shows.

Here are some of the responses:

@Tweetbynice1 said:

“Honestly, it’s just for entertainment and a peek into human behaviour under pressure. Plus, some people love the drama!”

@Sbudamoore suggested:

“Why they can’t produce programs that will uplift the youth of this country, educational programs, entrepreneurship programs, skills development programs, with so much airtime we can all learn a thing or two, programs like Class Act which was producing renowned actors, programs like Coca-Cola Pop stars, which gave you good musicians, instead TV is full of Moja Love ‘Uyajola’ nonsense.”

@SandileKaMsibi claimed:

“All of DSTV has been doing this for years: Selling you a culture of degeneracy till you own it and defend it as your own.”

@MvelohEnhleh said:

“I always think of their families and friends, maybe I am so much on privacy because what are their families saying?”

@Taiwothoughts argued:

“Big Brother isn’t about teaching values; it’s about showing how far people will go for attention, drama, and a check. Reality TV, not real-life lessons. 🤷‍♂️”
