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.
