| BBA host, IK with two of the evictees |
It
is no longer news that Sheillah, Trezagah, Ellah and Goitse fell just one week
short of a shot at the USD 300 000 prize on Big
Brother Hotshots as they were sent home in a heart-stopping quadruple
eviction on Sunday night. The big news however, is that their departure means
that eight housemates are now left in the game – and one of them must be named
as the winner next Sunday!
Viewers
must now choose between, in alphabetical order, Butterphly (Zimbabwe); Idris
(Tanzania); JJ (Zimbabwe); M'am Bea (Ghana); Macky2 (Zambia); Nhlanhla (South
Africa); Sipe (Malawi) and Tayo (Nigeria) – and get voting! Next week’s 2-hour
live show will start an hour earlier, at 19:00 CAT, to pack all the drama of
season 9 into one sizzling episode.
Macky2
revealed his Head of House ‘add’ decision to the housemates, with Ellah
declaring “I knew it” as he’d explained that he’d based his decision on who he
felt was a strong competitor. The Ugandan was spared - in the first round of
evictions, at least - as IK revealed that Sheillah and Trezagah had been
evicted. Joining him on stage, the Motswana said that she’d known ‘something
was up’ when she wasn’t nervous for the first time, this week. She declared
that her ‘thing’ with Nhlanhla as “very complicated” and that it wasn’t “a
relationship”. Trezagah said he felt “so bad” at falling so close to the final
and explained that he’d moved during the ‘freeze task’ – the only reason he was
up for eviction in the first place – because he thought the task was over, and
that he was being pranked again.
IK
went back into the house and revealed that someone else was going to be
evicted. He read out two more names – Ellah and Goitse – taking the number of evictees
to four. The Ugandan could consider herself particularly unlucky to be sitting
on the stage with IK, rather than sipping celebratory champagne inside the
house with the finalists, as she never received a single nomination on Monday
and was only up for eviction because Macky2 had added her to the list. She
showed her annoyance when she told IK that she just wanted to punch Macky2 –
though she also said she was proud of him for making a bold decision. Goitse
said she was feeling “super awesome” and that she was looking forward to using
her newfound fame to help her explore dancing, acting, writing, poetry,
presenting “and everything”.
Five housemates were tied
on 1 country vote apiece after Africa voted this week, so the tie-breaker rule
came into effect, sending the four contestants with the lowest percentage vote
for all countries, home. Since JJ picked up a higher percentage vote, he
was spared and sent into the final. Conversely, Tayo picked up the most country
votes (4), followed by Idris (3) and Sipe (2).
Sipe
won the StarMeter prize this week on the back of the question: “Which of the Big Brother Hotshots housemates do you
think has what it takes to win?”. Big Brother celebrated the work done by the
Friends of the Global Fund Africa this week, naming them as winners of the USD
100 000 ONE Africa Award – in keeping with the housemates’ theme for the past
week.
Ugandan
Reggae & Ragga star Bebe Cool performed ‘Love You Everyday’ and Fally Ipupa
almost brought the house down with ‘Original’.
Voting
