BREAKING. Paradise Lost? It's rather email that got lost in Survivor SA Santa Carolina.


You're reading it here first.

Does M-Net send out email or snail mail? This is how the email looks that M-Net has send out to subscribers on the M-Net website. There's just a few problems.

Talk about Paradise Lost and a reality check! M-Net only sent out this email at 21:00 on Wednesday night! Embarrassing. That is an hour and a half AFTER the premiere of Survivor SA Santa Carolina's first episode at 19:30. You would think that M-Net - if the broadcaster did really want to send out such an email - that it would try and have it in inboxes BEFORE that time and not half an hour after the first episode has already ended.

And the promises of ''exclusive video interviews''? Well, it's exactly midnight and now officially Thursday morning. It's hours after the show has ended and the official website still contains no sign of ''exclusive video interviews'' and nothing but the most basic information and contestant information.

Most email users, if they receive an email would instinctively click immediately on it to be taken to the content it promises. In this case, a Paradise lost and a reality check.
