Time is running out! Register before\u00a0Sunday\u2019s live show to make your vote count!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week\u00a0Sunday (18 February) is make or break for the twelve celebrities and their professional dancing partners who are putting their best foot\u00a0forward to clinch the title of SA\u2019s dancing queen or king in\u00a0M-Net\u2019s Dancing With The Stars SA. It\u2019s time to find out which dancing pair will be eliminated from the competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrepare yourself for an evening of razzle and dazzle, emotional highs and lows, and plenty of suspense,\u201d says M-Net Channels\u2019 Head of Publicity, Lani Lombard.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the show\u2019s leaderboard, because from this week onwards the voting public and the panel of judges will have a 50\/50 say in determining the ranking of the dancing pairs. The two pairs who find themselves at the bottom will then have a dance-off to persuade the judges into staying in the game.<\/p>\n

Viewers will be able to cast their votes to impact the leaderboard when the Dancing With The Stars SA live extravaganza kicks off at Hyde Park Corner at 17:00 until 19:15. And, to add even more drama and excitement to the event, M-Net has added a half-hour live results show to its \u00a0Sunday night line-up. \u00a0The\u00a0Dancing With The Stars SA Live Results Show\u00a0will take place at 20:00, just after Carte Blanche and before the Sunday night blockbuster, which will start at 20:30 from Sunday 18 February onwards.<\/p>\n

This is what the overall leaderboard looks like as the show heads into the viewers\u2019 vote next week:<\/p>\n

  2. Vanes-Mari du Toit:\u00a0 26<\/span><\/li>\n

  12. Thando Manana: 17<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As the voting will be live and the results will be announced on the same evening, M-Net has put some mechanisms in place to streamline the voting process. In a first for the channel, voting will be via the M-Net website or mobi-site only and you have to pre-register before 16:30 on Sundays to have a say in the outcome of the competition.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe registration is quick and easy and it\u2019s once-off,\u201d Lombard says. \u00a0\u201cIn other words, once you are on the voting roll, you are eligible to cast your vote for the entire season. If you haven\u2019t done it yet, please do it NOW, as we won\u2019t be able to process any new registrations after the cut-off time. The dancing pairs are relying on you to keep them on the dance floor and it will really be be sad if your favourite couple leaves because you couldn\u2019t support them.”<\/p>\n
