The shows started trending even before they premiered. The Road had many viewers confused in the first 10 to 15 minutes of the show as people discovered it was a set upon a set. Many comments were given about the show and most were positive. Below are what people had to say about the show.

Directly after The Road, Please Step In premiered. Please Step In is a docu-reality show that seeks to resolve pressing family issues through an intervention. The hosts of the show are Angie Diale and Dosto Nooge (remember him from Selimathunzi?). The opening show last night had many people talking on social media.

Last night’s family matter that needed resolving was about a couple where the husband had financial troubles. According to his wife, the husband spends his pay cheque before the debit orders go through, was/is cheating on her and has a baby out of wedlock. The most surprising thing was when the woman said she can’t get a job as she has a criminal record because of her husband. Simply explained, she caught her husband walking down the street with his side dish and the wife confronted the side dish only to realise they were at the back of a police station and the side dish ran into the police station – that is how the criminal record came about.

Into conclusion, the couple agreed to get help and the man promised to change.

Twitter had much to say about this. Read it all below.

Now that's how you host a show like #PleaseStepIn consideration, respect and intergrity irrespective! Abuti Dosto, happy u back on screen!
