Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela sparked a social media debate after reporting that Big Brother Titans' finale received low ratings.

On Twitter, Phil stated that just 346 000 people tuned in to Mzansi Magic on 2 May when South Africa's Khosi Twala was crowned the winner.

"Big Brother Titans finale lured 346K viewers to Mzansi Magic on Sunday April 2nd. A disappointing draw compared to Big Brother Mzansi which pulled 753K for it finale. #BBTitans dominated and still amasses huge engagement on social media. Why do you think that is?"

Phil Mphela and Big Brother Titans' viewers debate possible reasons for poor ratings

As Phil questioned Big Brother Titans fans about what they believed the show needed to draw the same numbers as Big Brother Mzansi, they were honest.

Some complained that the reality TV show lacked entertaining housemates since many were evicted before showing their full potential. Others pointed the fault at the ridiculous loadshedding schedule as April had stage 6 loadshedding, reported EWN.

@unusuaIHQ said:

"The tweets that got exposed of the director already congratulating his winner. Websites leaked the order of the top 6. So, who in their right mind was going to watch the finale when they already knew the outcome?"

@nkhensanie shared:

"I never really watched #BBTitans. It didn't have that thing for me."

@hlehle_miti replied:

"Personally, I didn’t watch the finale because I knew who was winning. The pairing messed things up. As much as they were trying to be fair, It would have been nice for individuals to battle it out."

@ZaharaAbdallah7 commented:

"The production was the downfall of Big Brother Titans. The professionalism from BBN is top-notch."
