7de Laan Drinking Game 2.0

Hillside Happy Hour Returns

As a devoted 7de Laan fan (and founder and president of the Rickus Fan Club), I am extremely grateful that SABC 2 continues to post every episode of the show on YouTube, allowing me to continue to engage with the residents of Hillside on a different continent.  The writers have given viewers plenty of moments to shake their heads and roll their eyes or eagerly anticipate the next episode to find out how a particular plot is going to unfold.  In addition, they have also given me plenty of material with which to create an updated version of the 7de Laan drinking game (see the first iteration of this game in the April 2017 archives).

So, gather your friends, pour yourselves a shot and down it when:

> Bonita mentions that Daniel is “al wat sy het” (a double shot if anyone asks “hoe gaan dit met
   Daniel?”)

> Karmen or Daniel is at the clinic. 

> Olivia wears a pair of awful high-waisted jeans.

> Xander enters a room like he’s being chased by an axe murderer (a double shot if he’s wearing the
   grey suit)

> Lesedi threatens someone in her office.

> Alexa or Fikani is waiting for the “uitslae” of some “toetse” they ran.

> Aggie singlehandedly organizes a last minute event.

> Vanessa changes her hairstyle (a double shot if it’s an improvement on the previous one). 

> Matrone looks into the camera and purses her lips in disapproval

> Esti buys a dress that she couldn’t possibly afford on a waitress salary.

> Anyone mentions one of the three specters, Gloria, Thandeka or Evelina.

> Netta gives a history lesson with a political angle.

> Chris has that “deer caught in the headlights” look.

> The Welmans have left their front door unlocked and someone just walks into their house.

> You see Ben’s dimples.

Bonus: You also need to down a whatever alcohol is near whenever Jacob is in a scene – because that’s the only way to make the scene bearable.
