Lights, Camera, Action!

From the Namibian, by Natasha Uys:

THANKS to the avid BBA viewer who suggested the BBTV task.
It was immensely entertaining and had me laughing out loud more than a few times.
After a week filled with competing egos and creative differences, the broadcast on Thursday evening was truly a success! It began with a recap of all [...]

Eviction 9: The Last Untouchable Falls

Thank goodness and good riddance Kwaku. Your exit was long overdue. I still say Meryl should’ve been in the house instead of you or any of your other original ‘untouchable’ buddies. At least he didn’t irritate me as much as Bertha did during her interview or embarrass himself any more than he did in [...]

Eviction 8: Bertha slithers out of BBA house

Another one bites the dust! What a night, what an outcome! I mean who thought that Bertha was as equally hated across Africa as Maxwell was – 12 out of 13 votes! Damn! I’m not surprised though, the girl changed like a chameleon overnight from Jesus Girl to Satan’s Ho in the house. A strategy [...]

Code is HoH for the 1st time

Code became the new Head of House after almost guessing the correct time in the task. He was only 5 minutes off. A pretty random task on Biggie’s part, which I like, seeing that it doesn’t disadvantage those housemates who are less intelligent than others or those who are physically challenged.
With either Bertha or Kwaku [...]

Big Brothel : Season One

 
So we’re past the halfway mark in this season of Big Brother Africa, and I must say it has been one of the most interesting installments produced by M-Net/Endemol yet.
At the beginning, I believed that the housemates this year wouldn’t compare to those of BBA1, but as the weeks went on – I was [...]

Nominations 7: Bertha vs. Kwaku

Oh yes, the ‘Untouchables’ get touched yet again! We all saw it coming, no one can honestly say that they didn’t believe that either of these two would be nominated. Despite Big Brother being a tad predictable these days, I must say that I’m enjoying how each of these cockroaches are being exterminated one by [...]

Eviction 7: Lerato – Bye Bye Baybee!

[I'm finally back and I apologize for just disappearing like that. My phone line was affected by the lightning we've been having and it only got fixed today. However, here's some articles I'd written]
So it was between Bertha and Lerato to get the boot tonight and THANK GOODNESS it was Ms. Lerato Sengadi! This girl [...]

Richard is new Head of House

This afternoon Big Brother instructed Housemates to shoot basketballs into a hoop to determine who the new Head of House will be.
Each Housemate was given five minutes to throw the balls through the hoop. The Housemate who puts the most balls through the hoop, within the time limit, will win the esteemed position.
Things started off [...]

Penthouse Prisoners

So Ofunneka and Kwaku have been in the penthouse for two days now, not counting Sunday evening, and it’s turned out better than expected, thus far, for me anyway.
As they have mentioned on numerous occasions in their diary sessions, Ofunneka and Kwaku have nothing against each other and they’re from the same part of Africa [...]

Nominations 6: Lerato vs. Bertha

What a sh-HO-down! THE best head-to-head we’ve had since Jeff vs. Justice.
Surely, BFF’s Lerato and Bertha saw it coming with their four measly votes against eight. They luckily managed to escape last week due to the twist, but the public knew that sooner rather than later these two conniving sisters a.k.a ugly stepsisters (Ofunneka is [...]

(Fake) Eviction 5 & 6: Double blow for the ‘Untouchables’ and the ‘Big 5′

Muhahaha *in evil voice*. Must say I enjoyed the ‘Fake Eviction’ show thoroughly! Tatiana’s HoH ’speech’ on why she replaced herself with Lerato was memorable (somewhat long), but honest.
Many people had been wondering who Big Brother would choose to send to the Penthouse for four days which would come with immunity for the week as [...]

Maureen is new HoH… finally!

Following an apple bobbing task to determine who the new HoH will be, Maureen emerged victorious, clenching the title for the first time. Seems this time around Big Brother wanted to give the housemates something a little physically demanding – well for Bertha and Lerato anyway. The challenge required housmates to have their hands tied [...]

Maxwell dumped like a hot potato!

ZAMBIA’S Big Brother Africa 2 housemate Maxwell Chongo has been dumped by his fiancée, Suli Sinkala, for what she terms his foolish behaviour while in the House.
And Maxwell, who arrived [...]
