According to Mzansi Magic, this show is guaranteed to keep viewers on their toes and guessing at every turn, and the first episode is a testament to that. Viewers have taken to social media to debrief about the first offering and it appears we are in for quite a ride as episode one came swinging we have already seen some surprise eliminations and someone fainting.
This show is so unpredictable and I love it, why are people already leaving???? #TheCatchMzansi

The cast did not disappoint as it is filled with gorgeous ladies and handsome fellas, which makes for interesting TV as it will be much more difficult for them to resist each other.
Some internet users have revealed that the first episode has had them hooked and similarly to a drug addict, they will be impatiently waiting for next Sunday so Mzanzi Magic can give them their next dose. Although it is still early days, some viewers have already identified some contestants they believe are worth keeping an eye on as a favourites throughout the season.
This show? 10/10 and I will be there everytime #TheCatchMzansi pic.twitter.com/WcGN64LIyU
