BREAKING. e.tv heading to Thailand with Tropika for more low-class ad-funded television.


Scarier than a bomb scare at e.tv (like what happened last week) is the broadcaster's relentless pursuit to tarnish its image by continuing to dump advertiser-funded faux programming fare on its schedule like Tropika Island of Treasure 3 of which the next sad bunch of sell-out contestants are now known.

The D-list gaggle damaging their reputations for the sake of money when e.tv turns over its precious airtime to Tropika for yet antoher TV marketing exercise does include a celebrity A-lister in the form of Khanyi Mbau (who frankly don't care about reputation) and a B-lister in the form of former Miss SA Tatum Keshwar (what is she thinking?).

Also on the show that will be filmed in Puket, Thailand towards the end of the year is a motley group who don't quite crack invites to Madiba's birthday party but is obviously good enough for Tropika and e.tv. Rounding out the group of seven in this year's Tropika Island of Treasure 3 is Bonang Matheba, Dionne Song, JR (no, not the one who got shot in Dallas), Loyiso Gola (and this isn't one of his jokes) and Afrikaans singer Snotkop.
