Despite multiple requests the past week which M-Net's publicity machine couldn't be bothered to even respond to, it's clear that the 9th season of Idols will also be showing from Sunday that it has also adopted the American Idol content change where the judges sit and interview contestants during the second phase known as Hollywood Week in America and Hell Week in South Africa.
M-Net's didn't respond to media enquiries seeking clarity about the Idols change to include this portion.
In this further evolution, the judges sit on a black platform interviewing contestants who walk in (and walk out) with trepidation, but its clear that it will be seen from the Sun City round of episodes which will start to be shown from Sunday 25 August.
Since M-Net didn't bother to respond to a media enquiry about it it's not clear until when channel 199 as the Idols Extra channel will be running on MultiChoice's DStv, which is showing supplementary Idols programming such as the Golden Ticket winners, Wooden Mic contenders.
