@TVwithThinus posted about Matheba's ratings being low on his Twitter (X) page:
"𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. I'm still being asked about the viewership of Bonang Matheba's B'Dazzled reality show on @SABC3. It's very, very low. Generations repeats in the morning on SABC3 have done better. Monday's 4th ep logged just 331 238 viewers (up from its disastrous 92 833 debut)."
Speaking to Briefly News, entertainment commentator Mlugisi Mbokazi said that he believes is Bonang and the ratings will improve.
He said:
"Bdazzled on S3, I love the show… B'dazzled has grown and matured, but for it to pull big numbers on SABC, I think it could have started so much stronger with more marketing push online and SABC. The 6 PM slot might also be tough for some fans, but seeing it doing well on the SABC+ Plus App is great."

"I don’t watch it live coz of the endless SABC ads. I always watch it on SABC+ later in the evening. The streaming sites & YouTube premium have made viewers more sensitive to ads. I avoid them at all costs. Without the streaming numbers, the ratings aren’t a fair reflection."
@tholo_motaung said:
"It’s hard to believe this, Bonang has a great following and the kind of engagement that happens on X on Monday and Tuesday’s about the show is quite impressive."
@leratojoymof responded:
"I don’t know but I don’t enjoy the show."
@philani_donald commented:
"I believe people watch the app more than they do the actual television."
@TaureanGoddess_ mentioned:
"Problem is that it's on SABC."
@ThabisoBM replied:
"Also, it would be great to see the impact she has had on the SABC+ downloads and sign ups. I have a feeling there is a huge success story there."
