Somizi is on cloud 9, or more specifically cloud ONE after finding out that his reality show, Living the Dream With Somizi, is the highest rating reality show in the country - edging out competition from the likes of Zodwa Wabantu, Bonang and more of his celebrity peers.
We might only be halfway through the fourth season of LTDWS but the Mzansi Magic reality TV show has already been blazing trails across the country and the proof was in the pudding this week when viewership numbers for SA's reality shows were revealed to the public.
At a time when Mzansi's viewers have more reality TV content to choose from than ever before, coming out on top is no easy task. How can you beat Jub Jub and Uyajola99 and then have to come up against Zodwa Wabantu Uncensored and still be competing with the soapies on free-to-air television? Which is why LTDWS's numbers are even more impressive.
Entertainment kingpin, Phil Mphela confirmed the news when he wrote on Twitter that the show had attracted over 560,000 viewers at its peak; a rating that no other celebrity reality show in Mzansi could match. Phil wrote:
"Living the Dream with Somizi is currently the number 1 with an average viewership count of 560k viewers. Zodwa Wabantu Uncensored is second with its top episode pulling 516k viewers. Papa Penny Ahee takes the bronze in 3rd with 470k viewers"
Somizi was more than delighted at the prospect of sharing the news with his followers and he took a moment to thank every single person who has watched and supported the show when he said:

It looks as if his impressive reign at the top of entertainment is set to continue and it's worth wondering if he will be able to increase this average with the next few episodes of the show set to air.
