Idols VII
Idols is a TV show that discovers new singers. We ended Season 6 in December 2010, and M-Net decided they wanted a new one to distract viewers from awful, depressing shows like Carte Blanche.
So here we are doing it again in 2011... Start warming your vocal chords and dusting off your instruments. Here are some updates on what everyone has been doing since the last season:

Talented recording artist and rapper, and man of flat-caps. Pro has spent most of the intervening times between seasons of Idols hosting Miss South Africa pageants at his house.
Randall is the grumpy, crotchety nay-sayer. You must know this, even if you've only seen the show once. He gets cross when singers screw up songs, and never just lets it go. He takes it personally and dishes it out personally as well. There is no middle ground. Having said that, Randall has a wicked sense of humour and tells filthy jokes. He can also party up a storm.
Randall is currently busy knifing pensioners and desecrating churches, but has assured me that he looks forward to Idols VII. It is the only meaningful employment he has had since late 2010.
Unathi is undoubtedly the prettiest, kindest and most wonderful person on the show this year. She sometimes laughs out loud at inappropriate material and hits Gareth, but is otherwise perfect. She also spends a lot of time making babies and radio, in that order.
