Housemates win thier second 100% wager

Wednesday

After wining the first full 100% wager last week, the hotshots went again to show their confidence in their talents and wagered 100% yet gain with Big Brother.
This week’s task  was about the modern dance battle. Like last week, this week housemates were required to  split into two teams; thank God that this week it was  not biased. We  had the blue team and the green team aka the zombies. In a  battle, each team at a time had to present their dance. All  happy and excited, the  green team  took the dance floor first and shook their bodies like there is no tomorrow.
After the green team’s presentation, it was the blue team’s moment and with ladies like Esther and Goitse, expect the best from them… I wouldn’t want to play judge but the fact is that, they nailed it.  At this particular juncture, what was left was Biggie’s conclusive statement. Yes of course,  they impressed him and he  had to let the 100%% wager out of his store. This has been the hotshots’ second 100% wager secured and they look very confident to retreat.
Congratulations to the hotshots….Which team rocked the dance battle?

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.

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.

Saturday

It’s amazing what a little bit of competition will do. Up till now the housemates have been taking it easy, but since they’ve been divided into two groups for the extravaganza – a split which has already caused tension – they have been hard at work to make sure they win the big prize on Saturday.
Things came to a head between Lilian and JJ, as they argued over creative control. Professing twenty years of experience, JJ wanted to apply his expertise to the extravaganza; but Lilian felt he had to let go and hand over the reins to the others every once in a while. Samantha was not fazed by either of them, making sure her thoughts on the performance were heard.
But before long the housemates had calmed down as they gathered in the bedroom and jived together. Lilian and Permithias had a good time bumping and grinding, before she was scooped into his arms and plunged to the ground in an elaborate dip. Their disagreement about Permithias’ prank was forgotten for the moment. Will it be wiped from Lilian’s memory for good after some energised bonding?
They weren’t the only ones getting into the groove, as Kacey Moore and Resa waltzed about the room in a tight embrace. Esther soon started, rocking her tiny hips from side to side and beckoning Arthur and JJ to join. Piled on the bed, Butterphly, Idris, Trezegah, Luis, Mira, Sipe and Macky2 were not to be swayed and, with shuffling papers and serious concentration, carried on preparing.
Huddled in another corner, Sheillah and Nhlanhla were doing a dance of their own, absorbed in serious conversation, faces close together, deepening the connection that has escaped no one’s attention. How long will we have to wait before their dance gets a little dirtier as well?

Waiting in the wings

The show was about to start and yet the housemates could not settle down. Despite deciding that it would be in their best interest to take a break and rest their voices and bodies before the extravaganza the rehearsals continued.
Costumes were being prepped and props sought out in an excited swirl of colour and activity, and the butterflies increased ten-fold when Big Brother announced they only had 30 minutes left before they had to head to the stage.
To make matters worse, a fight broke out between Tayo and Nhlanhla like two schoolboys on a playground, letting loose with words, but luckily not fists. Egos clashed once more, as they argued about who would win the extravaganza, with Tayo stepping on toes by declaring that if the other team won, it would merely be a matter of sympathy.
They simmered down eventually, but the stage had been set. Whatever the result we can only imagine that Nhlanhla and Tayo will have words after the show. Or will the loser merely cower away in embarrassment, while the other is swept up in the euphoria of a win?
The rest of the housemates could not be bothered, and chose not to get involved, focusing instead on make-up, hair and costume. Frankie looked particularly fine as Lilian applied bright red lipstick and gave him a set of sparkly earrings. She could not help giggling, saying that she felt like she “was damaging his face.” He got quite a kick out of seeing his reflection. And Africa is sure to get a few kicks of their own as they watch the housemates shine on stage once more.

Confirmed Grudges in Hotshots

Friday

If you thought it was going to  take forever for clashes to develop in the Big Brother house, rethink! At   this particular juncture, the hotshots have already identified and confirmed the fellas they can’t click with now or later.  During their diary sessions earlier today, Biggie was asking housemates if they have fellow housemates that they can’t click with. Fortunately or unfortunately, some had names to give while others  kept the sheet clean.
Basing  on yesterday’s fight between Tayo and Arthur in which Ellah and Frankie poked their noses, Tayo vowed never to talk to Ellah again! The angry Nigerian explained that Arthur wouldn’t have  taken the issue seriously  because in the first place he never meant it but courtesy of Ellah and Frankie who added fuel to the burning fire, the matter became worse.  Despite making  things clean with Arthur he said he has nothing to do with the Ugandan lass.
Sheillah also disclosed to Biggie and Africa how  she doesn’t like Zambia’s Resa because she knows it that she doesn’t like her too! The  21 year old Botswana AAT student dished this to Biggie after he asked her the housemates she finds real in the house.  She went ahead and explained that Resa is one person who will be crystal clear, stand  in one’s face and tell them how she doesn’t like them!  That’s a  brave…. Sheillah also added Permithias to her hate list as she finds the young lad two faced.
The next pair on our grudge list is M’am Bea and Samantha. While shedding tears in the diary room, M’am Bea told Biggie  that she finds it hard to relate to Samantha after she recently offended her in the kitchen. Samantha  also has her least favorite person in the house  who is none other than  the Sheillah who hates Resa and Permithias. The South African hairdresser explained that Sheillah is to rude for her liking!
Don’t get mad, get even…..Arthur also believes that he won’t be able to Tayo as a person he wants to talk to because he’s fake. He  added that he meant each and every word he said because he wants to break him down for his game. Arthur believes that this is Tayo’s game plan to have his big threats discouraged and later weaken them.
As Big Brother always encourages housemates to settle their differences, things might change at any time from now….Whose reason do you find reasonable?

Luis Quits Lilian and Hots Mira!

It looks like Luis couldn’t bear the one sided affair he was launching for Nigeria’s Lilian, he is now exploring Mira!
Following his revelation in diary session on Day 3, Luis is seems to be falling for another girl. Yesterday he told Biggie that he had been increasingly developing a strong thing for  Lillian but realised that she was not the same about him and that their friendship would not develop further. He then said that he would be focusing on his game moving on and making sure that he gave off his best.
Today Luis seems to be getting closer and closer with Mira. In fact after Sheilla’s intervention as cupid, the two ended up sharing a bed, cuddled like star-crossed lovers yesterday. And we can’t help but wonder if Luis did not steal a kiss from that moment…
Today Mira walked over to sit herself next to Luis and placed her one leg on top of him. Their physical interaction developed and soon the couple had their arms wrapped around each other, whispering sweet-nothings. Things seem to be getting serious from the look and sound of things. Luis was heard affirming that he was now feeling better when Mira asked him how he was doing. Could it have been that it was because he was next to her?
Soon after the couple started talking about evictions and Luis expressed his confidence that she isn’t going anywhere and Mira reciprocated the same faith that he would also stay on the show. Luis caressed her back as he said, “We are going to make this work no matter what happens on Sunday”. To this Mira responded by stroking his face and getting closer to him.
If we are to go with how things are unfolding, we might be welcoming the “Luira”(Luis and Mira) to the lovers’ board….what do you think?

Big Brother Africa Hotshots maintains usual hype

IT was a night of fun and of course lots of glitz and glamour at The Big Brother Africa (BBA) Hotshots launch on October 5 at The Whippet in Linden, Johannesburg, South Africa.

After the unexpected burning down of the former BBA house also located in Johannesburg, viewers and audiences were naturally eager to see how this new venue would turn out and with no doubt Big Brother did not disappoint.
The usual presenter, Ik Osakioduwa, popularly known as Ik, introduced audiences to this year’s edition with a stunning cabaret performance of the official Big Brother theme song. It was splendid, well curated and off course something audiences never expected.
During the launch show for the first time ever, all 26 housemates were given one-minute slots to showcase their talents live on stage. It was something new and exciting.
Each and everyone in the audience had an opportunity to score each performance with any mark between 1 and 100, which also made the whole night worth the while for everyone present.
As a way of connecting audiences with the housemates through the talent show, Big Brother further explained that it was a way to come up with the housemate who scored highest, making them Head of House who would be the ONLY housemate not up for eviction this coming Sunday.
With a wonderful saxophone performance Tanzania’s Laveda got the top score beating the top 6 who included Kenya’s Sabina, Ghana’s M’am Bea, Nigeria’s Lillian, Rwanda’s Arthur and Zimbabwe’s own, JJ. Her win thus meant that she would be the only one not in danger of going home after this coming Sunday’s eviction.
As usual at BBA launches, award-winning musicians from Nigeria, Tanzania and South Africa also took the stage with their various musical talents.
Nigeria’s multiple award-winning superstars Davido who is already well known across Africa for a number of hits like DamiDuro, Aye and Skelewu did what he knew best leaving the crowd screaming for more.
Other performers included Tanzania’s Bongo Flavor recording artiste, Diamond, who also performed before at one of Big Brother Stargame’s previous eviction shows, South African hip hop musician Cassper Nyovest known for his smashing hit Doc Shebeleza and the Nigerian-born Emmy Gee featuring AB Crazy and DJ Dimplez.
Audiences were welcomed with a red carpert entrance and the show was full of life. As usual BBA Hotshots was aired live from 7pm on Africa Magic, Africa Magic Entertainment, Africa Magic World as well as on DStv channel 197 and 198.
However, as the show goes on Zimbabwean audiences eagerly await how far the country’s representatives this year Butterphly and JJ will reach. This is the period which will see audiences glued to their screens for this 63 day journey.
Furthermore, ZiJudgement Yard’s finest, DJ Flevah, will also be playing in the Big Brother house on Friday October 31 .

Is Tayo Bubbly Loud Or Real?

You know I am always telling you how a Big Brother Super fan  I am.  I have lived to watch many seasons with different characters from different walks of life in that one house. I get to know someone who acts for cameras and someone who   is real. It is just four days  and people have started  accusing Nigeria’s Tayo of being loud, all over  the  place and poking his nose into things that don’t concern him.
Here is my say on the dude. Oh before  I tell you, did  I say that Marky 2 is one chilled and cool guy in the Hotshots? I am now telling you that and hope to regret not as time goes  on……On the first day or so  Macky2  was negative about Tayo. In his diary session, he told Biggie that Tayo is a loud mouth without substance and that since he only talks when he has something to say, Tayo is a bit of a chunky pill to swallow.
A day later, it was the same Zambian lad  telling Biggie that yes Tayo talks but he thinks he’s wrong about the guy being loud  as he is just Tayo who says what he wants to say and in a real spirit. Now this one made me love Macky2 more and made him  a homie and best Hotshot. Apparently, he went to Tayo to actually have a conversation and he was surprised that they had good content….Since then, he finds some five minutes at least to hang with Tayo every day.  This is one guy I want hanging around Tayo as much as possible
I therefore stand on  two black legs to  defend Tayo that he is a real dude who says the truth you don’t want to hear! On a normal day I might write what pleases everyone but when I switch to the real day, it will be the real sh%t coming to you. I am not taking  a stand for Nigeria but I am throwing more light about Tayo and you never know we might see some other real characters of his kind mushrooming during the 63  days stay  in Biggie’s house.
Hey, Did you read that article when  I was talking about the Tayo and Arthur fight? Frankie and Ellah had a part to play in adding fury to the fire but I wonder how they are  feeling when they see that Tayo has apologised to Arthur and things are back to cool! This is why they warn people about taking front row seats in other people’s arguments. Even though I still wonder what Tayo said during his apology/explanation, it’s not an issue as long as they are now talking.
At the end of the day, every human being is entitled to their opinion, what is yours?
For those on my side, I expect comments down there and this…

Flirt alert

Thursday

Conversation was flowing in the house, as the housemates took it easy with a late-night snack. Samantha was getting passionate with a heart-to-heart, although Laveda was hardly captivated and Sheillah’s focus was elsewhere.  It turned out to be Nhlanhla receiving her undivided attention, as they edged closer and closer together. Things got interesting when they started chatting to Mira, proposing a double date with her and Luis. Sheillah became more and more touchy-feely as the night progressed, happily draping herself over Nhlanhla.
Outside, JJ and M’am Bea struck up an intimate exchange, talking about finding love. She seemed to be turning into a motherly figure, having chatted heartily to Luis earlier in the evening as well. Kacey Moore, chilling in bed, was chatting to Resa, already cosy in her pyjamas. It seemed to be all talk, no action between the housemates. Were they holding back as part of their strategy? Gauging the situation is part of the game, and none of the representatives want to make the wrong move.
But as they headed into the early hours of the morning, and the drinks kept coming, the housemates let down their guard. They had already been pairing up in various assortments. Tayo and Samantha seemed to have a thing going, but after the party she barely acknowledged him, rather carrying on with her spirited discussions. Some relationships may end up being merely platonic, or perhaps strategy, but as for the flying sparks, were they a budding romance or fatal attraction?
Sheillah was worried it could have been the latter. After flirting with Nhlanhla all evening she started pushing him away as he moved in for a kiss. He managed to rain a gentle shower of caresses on her forehead, but it went no further. Will the kiss happen? Africa is waiting on the edge of their seats.

Time to twerk

What better way to celebrate a big win than with a glass of wine? Or two? Or three? The housemates took to the storeroom with gusto, diving for the alcohol and cheering “to the Hotshots”. They were very pleased with themselves for a big gamble and a big win.
The housemates have set the bar high and Big Brother will be counting on them not to let him down in future tasks. Will they have the courage to make another big wager for the next task? The way they were celebrating suggested they would have the confidence again. They are hotshots, after all. But for the moment all the housemates cared about was letting go, now that the pressure of the presentation was gone.
With Cassper Nyovest pumping in the background, the dancing continued off-stage for the housemates. Clearly they couldn’t get enough, especially Nhlanhla, who started a sexy dance for Sabina, slipping off his shirt, but going no further, much to the other housemates’ dismay. Luis was also quick to lose his shirt and give the ladies an eyeful of his abs. Sheillah responded quite quickly, climbing all over him before he inexplicably dashed off. Not to be outdone, Lilian clambered all over Nhlanhla, who quite enjoyed her second show of twerking.

The show goes on

Announcing the presentation everyone was so looking forward to, Alusa leapt on stage and got the ball rolling, acting as MC. First up was Tayo, looking super smooth in his tux. He had a go at motivational speaking, sharing the encouragement and powerful faith his parents provided him as a child. Swept away by emotion, he forgot to introduce Macky2 who created an incredible rap song entitled "Africa, your time is now". Butterphly came alive in front of the mic, "taking a peek into the lives of the housemates off the stage".
Arthur got on stage trying to get his housemates to chuckle at his stand-up routine, bringing the topic of Biggie and the diary room sessions into the mix, which the housemates enjoyed, because who could relate better? Everyone was keen to see Laveda with her saxophone, especially because it helped her win head of house. She did not disappoint, throwing in a few extra moves and a gorgeous costume.
Luis, taking over MC duties, announced his fellow countryman Permithias, who amped up the mood before reading a poem, red rose in hand.  Beauty queen Ellah graced the stage next, singing a gentle tune. Sharing strong emotion was a common thread running through the presentation, and Mira brought this across with colour and emotion, blossoming as she recovered from her shyness and stage fright.
Goitse rocked her outfit as she swaggered across stage, and Nhlanhla swung from creative expression to motivational speaking, before announcing Sabina who showed off her acting skills. She raced through a gamut of emotion, showing a completely different side to her comedic skill-set.
Coming on with radio skills was Mr. 265, who also formed part of Lilian’s acting skit, a brave performance considering she had so little voice to use. Hot on the heels of her squeaky pleas, was a twerk like no other, and completely different to the first half of her performance.
Trezagah rapped in Portuguese, bringing a different flavour to the presentation; while Resa got mouths watering with a poem about food. Sipe’s husky voice worked wonders for her and Esther swept up her fellow housemates in an impassioned dance dedicated to Uganda.
Bringing back the music was Sheillah with a song of her own, before JJ’s powerful voice took over as MC. Frankie, looking sharp in a blue and white suit, shared a little something about himself before picking up the pace with drumming beats.
Samantha mixed poetry and song, before Idris came on stage sporting a different hairstyle and a pair of oversized glasses. He got his housemates giggling and clapping, before he started stepping on toes with a few personal remarks.
Displaying her creative skills, M’am Bea went all out with a fashion show, giving the housemates a chance to razzle and dazzle the audience in beautiful ensembles. The show wound to a close with Kacey Moore’s song against xenophobia. The theme of African unity was carried through as the housemates all performed together on stage before JJ closed the show.
Finally, the big moment had arrived. The show was over and Big Brother called the housemates together for the final result. He did not keep them in suspense for long and, impressed with their confidence and courage in betting 100% of their wager and displaying a range of skills, he announced they had won – a result met with jubilant cheering.  After all the fuss and bother, Biggie enjoyed the show, along with the rest of Africa.
