"Where do I sign up? I wanna be a contestant."
@DDT_PM said:
"Lol I wonder if people will marry for fame in the end."
@MoskovichN said:
"They need to sort out lobola issues. In the 1st season, some families didn't attend/approve of the weddings cause lobola wasn't paid."
@Leeleemakibs said:
"There are too many things that could go wrong. I can’t believe the girlies are willing to risk it."
@Hopingvilakazi said:
"They need to vet the men on this show very thoroughly. Imagine marrying an 'alleged' ra**st or abuser at first sight."
@Dr_Uncle_ said:
"Why must we always copy everything? Obviously a version of Love is Blind."
@Akhona_PQ said:
"I never watched the first season, is it real marriage or just an experiment? Yho, I can imagine being matched with someone you wouldn't entertain on a random day."
@KopanoMashishi said:
"I’m so confused. Haven’t we had MAFS? I remember going to the website for the SA show to apply, and they wouldn’t let me cause I was underage (few months shy of 24 or 25?). The group chat, TL, FB feed and my parents laughed at me.
