"She said, "I want a raise." They said "nope". So she, said "I'm gonna walk out and take all of your viewers with me, don't try me." Then they said, "We've got a hundred more like you, bxtch bye".. And now we're here."

@JabzinSA added:

"This show should have ended in the current Season 2; no need to have Season 3 because even their storylines are off and messy now. It's boring now. also, changing Caeser in season 3, Hlomla is going after he replaced Zolisa Xaluva as Caeser's Character. #etvsmokeandmirrors."
