@MaakePheladi commented:

"Can they pls have cameras around the houses 24/7? A lot happens behind closed doors, and we keep hearing 'behind the camera’s you are not the same person,' but we never get to see the raw footage."

@KgomotsoTlhapan mentioned:

"I hope those experts conduct due diligence, we don't want this season's drama and toxicity on the third season, please. They must be thorough."

@Nokwazi_Zee responded:

"Even when matched by 'experts', it seems the success rate of modern relationships is 25%. Even if that 25% is being generous, given what we know about the last standing couple."

@MoeketsiSports replied:

"They should really do a proper background check on the people next time. If they really did a background check, they would've known that some of the people are in relationships and married."

@LindieKay shared:

"Oh no…hopefully they’ll do proper vetting this time and not bring us actors and DJs who want to expand their popularity."
