When it came to a Reality Show tag we knew we had to get family involved… @Cattereia and @mioscenic just happened to be in the right place at the right time…
[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]
Reality shows you either love or hate but we figured if we gave creative control over to you guys, we would definitely be able to find something for everyone…
So we sent out some invites…
And set up a few examples:
Had just found out that our two co-hosts were sisters actually [can you guess who is the older one?] and so it was a great first for Hashtagging games and AFH to have a family co-hosting…
They were both quickly dominating the game:
