Laveda complains about Tayo’s ‘bullying game’

Thursday

While in the Diary room for her Diary this afternoon, Tanzanian beauty Laveda unusually looked perturbed which made Biggie to ask her what the matter was. The former HoH told Biggie that something happened last night between her and Tayo elaborating that the Nigerian rep had bullied her.

“He bullied me and then pretended that it’s a joke. Come on, I know what a joke is,” an angry Laveda spilled. She went on saying that Tayo felt like the boss in the house and that he seems to like shouting and acting loud just to intimidate others.

Biggie apologized and assured her that everybody in the Big Brother house was equal to the other stressing that he has her back and would make sure that no one is intimidated and where need rises, he’ll intervene.

One wonders where this alleged bullying game will end but whichever way it is, we hope it doesn’t get out of hand.

Tayo at peace witheverybody

“Being at peace with everybody gives me great joy,” Tayo shared with Big Brother during his Diary Session this afternoon referring to the fact that after apologizing to the likes of JJ, Alusa and all housemates in general yesterday had brought peace to his inner self.
The Nigerian lad said staying in the Big Brother house for almost two weeks had helped in discovering himself more and realized that life is more fulfilling when one is at peacewith everyone.
Tayo who has become a topic of discussion in the house and on the outside seems to be rubbing some housemates if not all up the wrong way as some of them won’t stop complaining about his alleged ill behavior during their discussions and in the Diary Room.

Meanwhile, today Biggie has been asking housemates what they made of his apology, JJ shared that he felt it was genuine but if at all he didn’t mean it then he’s talented as an actor. Laveda differed and said that she didn’t buy it as some housemates are capable of doing anything for the sake of the game.

DJ Twist set for the Big Brother Channel O party this Friday

Wednesday

Jose Joao, better known as DJ Twist sprightly host of The Empty Fridge on Fresh FM is set to fire up the turn tables at Friday night’s famous Channel O party. Representing Namibia this week, DJ Twist is elated to have been invited to herd this sheep of party-hungry Hotshots, and after last Friday's thrills and spills this was a party we didn't want to miss.
We caught up with the electrifying MC and jockey for a quick catch up.
Well versed in various musical genres DJ Twist expressed a soft-spot he has for old school music. This seems to be a growing trend amongst DJ’s and musicians. That being said however, he love giving the crowd what they want which is often the latest and freshest.
From a young and tender age Twist has always been an entertainer but was set to follow in the producer-footsteps of his father and even considering embarking on an upright path as a lawyer. Boy are we glad the lad came to his senses and headed for a radio station to pursue music. He has since been serving Namibia the finest of dance tunes.
His musical influences include DJ’s Bantu Soul, Euphonik, Kent and jazz pianist Bob James for texture. With all these layers the housemates are in for a party like no other.
Twist reckons he’d do well as a housemate but figures Luis and Permithias are a good pair to represent Namibia.
We look forward to a stellar set by DJ Twist at the Channel O party on Friday night.

Permithias Added, Nine On Block!

Tuesday

Following the  erroneous  omission of Permithias from the Nominee  list yesterday evening, fans’ complaints went viral during the past 24  hours asking Biggie and his organisers to rectify the problem for a fair treat among countries. M-Net this afternoon released a press statement acknowledging the error and promised to correct it. It was therefore decided that the online voting be closed and the  already -in-votes be cancelled by the  auditors. The statement went ahead to say that the Nominee read would be re-done  this evening to the Housemates  and Africa.
With all housemates gathered in the lounge, Big Brother told them about the big error made in the revelation of the nominees yesterday. He told them that a housemate’s name was left out  which called for  the cancellation of the  votes that had come in already to make it fair for all housemates. He then read the final list and in alphabetical order were, Esther, Frankie, JJ, Laveda, Lilian, Permithia, Sabina and Tayo. He again let them know that the HOH has the power to add one Housemate to make the final list of Housemates up for eviction.
Called to the Diary room for her add decision, HOH Samatha did not make any change regarding her yesterday’s decision. She kept Ellah’s name as her add decision making the final list as Ellah, Esther , Frankie, JJ, Laveda, Lilian, Permithias and Tayo for  possible eviction.
You can now start voting to keep  your favorite housemates in the game.

‘Sheillah is part of my strategy’ – Nhlanhla

South African Hotshot Nhlanhla dropped a bomb in the Diary room this afternoon when he revealed to Biggie about his game and strategy with Sheillah being part of the latter.

“Sheilla is part of my strategy,” he said. This seems to have intrigued Big Brother who continued ‘interrogating’ him about this ‘strategy’ that involved Sheillah. The young lad revealed that he thinks Sheillah has put her in her strategy and thus he was just returning the favor stressing that this didn’t in anyway put their ‘relationship’ in jeopardy.

Nhlanhla also told Biggie that he gets a long well with Sheillah and she helps him get to know more about other housemates because she’s outspoken.

It’s Day 9 and week 2 of the reality show and it seems housemates have started unleashing their ‘strategies’ but we hope this particular one doesn’t back-fire.

Nominations and reactions from all over Africa

This week’s nominees are down to just eight from last week’s 25, a huge relief to the housemates, Africa and the voters probably. Two Hotshots; Mira and Resa are out already, one wonders how many will be leaving Biggie’s house this Sunday.

This week, Rwanda’s Frankie, Zim’s JJ, Tanzania’s Laveda, Kenya’s Sabina, Uganda’s Ellah and Esther as well as Nigeria’s Lilian and Tayo made it to the dreaded nomination list. So Permithias didn’t make this list after gunning 6 nominations? Hmmm…

By the look of things, Uganda and Nigeria will have to double their voting efforts if at all they are ensure that non of their reps is kicked out come Sunday but it seems these two countries are great danger of losing at least a Hotshot. The two nations will also need the help of other countries in this struggle.

As usual this got passionate Africa talking, from the fans’ comments, it’s clear who they want in and out, read on to see their feed back.

Luis: ‘I can make Mira’s dreams come true’

Prior to Mira’s eviction last Sunday, she had formed a strong bond with fellow Hotshot Luis and the two had also developed a strong liking for each other something that caused ‘emotional’ pain to Luis when the Mozambican beauty was booted.

During his first Diary since her exit, Luis opened up to Biggie saying that they had talked about the future and how she wanted to win the money so that she could realize her dreams. Luis stressed that he was hurt by her eviction but shared with Biggie that he’s going to do all it takes to win the money so that he helps her achieve her dreams.

“I can make her dreams come true if I win the money,” he confessed. From this statement it seems Luis is ready to ‘share’ the money with Mira should he win it.

Luis continued letting out his heart to Biggie on how he felt about Mira and how he misses her. “It’s been a while since I last felt strong about someone,” he stated.

He however said that Mira’s eviction is something he’s going to use to push on because he’s sure she would want him to be strong and win the game.

Press Release: Correction to Big Brother Hotshots voting process

M-Net and Endemol South Africa have taken immediate steps to address an error that occurred during the Nomination Announcement on Big Brother Hotshots on Monday evening, 13 October 2014. The name of Permithias was erroneously omitted from the list of this week’s nominated housemates and was not made available as a voting option for viewers on the relevant platforms.
Housemates made their nominations on Sunday evening. Frankie received 8 nominations, Tayo and JJ received 7 each Permithias received 6, Esther received 5, Sabina received 4, and Lilian and Laveda received 3 nominations each.
M-Net and Endemol South Africa have taken the following steps to correct this error and to ensure that the voting process is fair to all nominated housemates:

1. All voting platforms, except SMS, will be closed as of 11:00 CAT on Tuesday 14 October.
2. Big Brother’s nominee read will happen on Tuesday 14 October after the broadcast of the Daily Highlights show at 20:30 CAT on all relevant channels, so that the housemates and viewers are aware of the full list of nominees.
3. All votes, including SMS votes, for the period Monday 13 October 20:30 CAT to Tuesday 14 October 20:30 CAT will be verified by auditors SizweNtsalubaGobodo on Tuesday 14 October 20:30 and will be excluded from the accumulated vote count for Sunday 19 October.
4. Charges for all SMS votes received between Monday 13 October 20:30 CAT and Tuesday 14 October 20:30 CAT will be reversed (users will be refunded).
5. Voting will reopen on all platforms directly after the housemates have been informed of the relevant nominees on Tuesday 14 October after the Daily Highlights Show, 20:30 CAT.

The nine housemates nominated for eviction on Sunday 19 October are therefore: Esther; Ellah (both Uganda); Frankie (Rwanda); JJ (Zimbabwe); Laveda (Tanzania); Lilian; Tayo (both Nigeria); Sabina (Kenya) and Permithias (Namibia). Eight of the housemates are up for eviction based on nominations received from their fellow housemates, while Ellah is up for eviction after Head of House Samantha used her powers to add her to the list. Ellah will not be informed of her nomination until Sunday evening when Samantha reveals her decision during the Live Eviction Show.
M-Net and Endemol South Africa apologise to viewers for the error and can confirm that the correction will have no bearing on the results of the eviction vote on Sunday 19 October, due to the independent auditing process verified by SizweNtsalubaGobodo.

Idris Loses it on Goitse

Idris in the diary room last night let biggie know of a romantic date that he was putting up for Goitse .To Goitse things seem to be moving so fast than she expected.
They took a moment and parted from the rest of the housemates, laying in the couch which looked like the moment was an intimate between the two. Idris argued with Goitse about  grooming her nails which sparked off Goitse’s nerves and she admitted to him saying she was an independent woman not to be ordered or pushed around by any body.
Feeling abandoned Idris run to Samantha and Butterphly for a feminine perspective then to Nhlanla and luis to validate
his feelings of rejection .

NIGERIA AND UGANDA IN DANGER AS THEIR REPS HIT THE BLOCK

We have always been telling you that the game is on but the real game started on Sunday with the very first eviction and Nominations thereafter.
From the nominations and final Head Of Household add decision, the final names of housemates up for week two’s eviction were released. Esther, Frankie, JJ, Laveda, Lilian, Sabina and Tayo being the initial nominees, HOH Samantha added Ellah to the list making a total of eight housemates on the block from whom at least one will head home come Sunday.
With just 13 participating countries, in a few days moved, Uganda and Nigeria have been the first to taste the hottest seat of the hotshots with both their housemates on the edge! Yeah, hottest, you might think of Zambia and Mozambique who have already lost a housemate but Nigeria and Uganda are likely to lose both!
With 8 Housemates on the block and 13 countries voting plus the Rest of Africa vote, there is going to be a big battle for the votes. The 8 countries will have to save their housemates first and for those having two on the block, it will be bloody. I wouldn’t want to speculate that it will be among the four housemates to leave on Sunday but sharing their country votes induces one to think about it.
Let’s talk about the battle for the country votes between Ellah with Esther and Lilian with Tayo. Last week it was the same thing because except Tanzania which had only Idris on the block, the other countries had both reps in danger and this implied a small winning margin even people without a country vote managed to stay.
This time round it’s a different story and some votes across Africa will go to favorite housemates leaving me worried for Nigeria and Uganda. It’s hard to know who from these four housemates will win their country votes because of different personalities and different country tastes. Uganda’s Esther is outgoing and but still it doesn’t leave the self centred Ellah. Lilian is one housemate you would call for entertainment and so is Tayo. This makes it tough for the Nigerians but all will be known on Sunday.
How do you think Africa will decide?

Housemates to be divided into two teams again

Monday

New HoH Samantha kicked off her reign with a task brief she read to housemates and they had to decide how much they would be Wagering with Biggie this week. It seems after winning the first 100% Wager of the season last week, housemates have become very confident and once again decided to go for another 100% Wager!

Just like the previous week, the task brief read clearly that housemates had to split into two teams, the procedure is not yet known but it may be up to  Samantha just like Laveda who faced some housemates wrath for the rest of the week. One wonders how the South Africa lass will pick her team.

For the task, the housemates have to choreograph and compile a modern dance show. During the week they will receive training from different instructors. Afterwards, they will have to apply what they learnt in order to go face to face in a modern dance battle. In addition to choreographing and compiling the dance-off, the housemates have to design the costumes and create a backdrop. Biggie is certainly not making it easy for the housemates.

We wonder how the likes of JJ, Sabina and Alusa will fare if they coincidentally happen to be on the same team again bearing in mind that they were also struggling to be heard last week something that contributed to their team loss.

How do you think Samantha should come up with her team?

Another emotional victim

We have all gotten familiar with the loudest and coolest guys in the house but this morning Esther broke down and started crying. Her fellow housemates had been talking about romance and relationships, and it brought back memories of a painful past for Esther.
Akankwansa aka SMALL PEPE got married last and held on the horrible moment for more tha eight months .As the tears flowed from her she made a passionate proclamation about the way women are harassed particularly in relationships.
The conversation was among Samantha, Lilian, Macky2, Tayo andM’am Bea, sharing her background with men and how it had affected her.

Mira Also Leaves The Hotshots!!

After saying good bye to Zambia’s Resa as the fist hotshot to get evicted  from the Big Brother house, Africa’s votes also decided to send Mira from Mozambique home.
Leaving her beau Luis and country man Macky2 still battling for  the $300,000, Mira has become the second housemate to leave the game out of the 26 who entered a week ago. This now leaves the  journey to 24 housemates planing for the grand prize.
In her chat with host IK on the Live eviction stage, she said that it was a good feeling to be in the house and she was grateful for  the opportunity though at the same time she feels good to be outside the house. ” I miss my family and my phone,” Mira said.
About Luis, she said he’s an amazing guy she has ever met and  she likes him as she watched their kissing  video clip. And about her kiss with Nhlanhla, all she had to was….he’s my brother!
We going to miss Mira  and …..we wish the best to Mira in all her endeavors.
