Tweeps have reacted to the brand's name. Some Twitter users think they are trying to outshine the Big Brother Mzansi housemates, but this isn't the case.
“The Real Housemates” sounds like a name that could’ve been used for a show that’s a continuation of the BB house. It also has 0 to do with what they do as a collective
