During Monday night's
HSM:SA Results Show it was revealed that all of the Top 6 remaining contestants have made it through to the Finalé that's coming up on Saturday, 27 September.
Producer Pieter Toerien explained that he and co-producer Hazel Feldman wanted to leave the choice up to the viewers. “At the beginning of this series Hazel and I said that the final vote will be made by you, the M-Net viewers,” he said.
"We’re going to ask you to become producers. You will make the dreams of two of these lovely young people come true. Vote with care and with wisdom,” he urged.
Now it's up to viewers to choose who will be Gabriella and who will be Troy in the live stage musical.
The votes that were cast for the Top 6 between Saturday’s episode and Monday's show will be combined with the next two weeks’ votes to determine the final result.
Voting lines opened at the end of Monday’s show and will remain open until a given time during the Finalé, which will be communicated to voters at a later stage.
There are two voting periods left: from 19h30 on Monday, 15 September to 19h00 on Monday, 22 September. Then the second voting period starts at 19h00 on Monday 22 September and will continue into the live broadcast of the Finalé.
The voting numbers are:
0862277702 Carmen
0862277704 Danni
0862277705 Daniel
0862277707 David
0862277713 Lyle
0862277717 Tsephi
Meanwhile the Top 6 will campaign for votes in their home towns on Wednesday (17 Sept.)
Danni, Daniel and David are going back to Durban to their alma maters - Thomas More High, Westville Boys High and Northlands Primary respectively.
In Johannesburg, Northcliff High will be fêting their star, Carmen, while Tshepi will gladden the hearts of some of HSM’s youngest fans at a local crèche and Lyle will sign autographs at the Cardies outlet in Fourways Mall at 15h30 Wednesday.
There won't be another Results Show before the Finalé. Instead next Monday's episode will feature footage of the Top 6's homecoming visits.
In this Saturday's episode (20 Sept.) the Top 6 will have a final chance to show off their skills to impress viewers before the Finalé.
