The eight contestants took to the stage to pay tribute to two Reggae legends. Isaac Gregory and Lucky Dube. They performed NIGHT NURSE by ISAAC GREGORY and DIFFERENT COLOURS/ONE PEOPLE by LUCKY DUBE.

Adora and Joseph called out the least five, Simon, Jimoh, Niniola, Immaculate and Roland. It wasn't a surprise to see Simon who enjoyed massiv support from audience/viewers in the past weeks. I think Bibi's comment played a role in it. But i was shocked to see Roland and Immaculate there.

#PFWA: NOMINAION SHOW; Night of Covers and Classic Duets

It was a night of covers and duets. Each contestants performed twice. Sound sultan was a guest judge. They started with the covers and Omolayo was the first to hit the stage.
OMOLAYO:     I wish  - Lighthouse family

GABBIE- I don’t really know how I feel about this cover. I just wasn’t feeling it.  The beginning was weak. For a high life song, it was OK but as a cover/remix of a Lighthouse family song it was quite annoying. 5/10.

LADY J- I didn't quite like how he started the performance but the switch to highlife made up for it. He made me want to get my bata on. I don't think he was at his best vocally though his last note was everything 6/10

L- I didn't understand the beginning of the song but he later made the song his own. I liked the fusion of juju.He could have done better though. 6.5/10.

#PFWA: ELIMINATION SHOW; End of the road for Johnny and Nancy.

#BBATHECHASE: Elikem talks about Feza, Pokello and Nando.

Elikem had a press conference in Ghana, i listened to it and decided to transcribe the interesting parts of it.

ABOUT POKELLO.
He said when he got there he met Feza and thought she was a good girl but he was wrong. Initially she gave excuses of culture and when he got out he found out she liked him and wanted him to push harder. Then he went to Ruby and saw Pokello and things turned out good. He said he's Pokello's type of man, tall dark, masculine and she's his kind of woman " hard to get" "fresh to death"and he's taking it one step at a time and he believes they will work.

ABOUT SEX TAPE
The first or second day he got to Ruby, she told him about it and how everything leaked. He  said he has seen it and he doesn't want to say " I like it, it is niceeee".

#BBATHECHASE: Melvin and Beverly's welcome party.

#BBATHECHASE: Rumours, Rumours, Rumours.

Big Brother The Chase may be over but increasingly it is becoming the most controversial season of Big Brother Africa yet! There are rumours that Zimbabwean housemate Hakeem and Kenya’s  Huddah might have had sex before the show’s finale last Sunday night. Hakeem, who was in a heated relationship with Zambian Cleo before his eviction from the show is alleged to have betrayed his love for the Zambian rapper after he had openly proposed to her while in the house.

Cleo, who survived in the reality show to the final day, Sunday, had also professed and maintained her love for the well built Zimbabwean model and the emergence of a love fling between him and Huddah has stunned followers of show. Reports indicate that all evicted housemates – including Hakeem and Huddah – reported to the Hilton Hotel in Sandton in Johannesburg ahead of the finale, Sunday. Sources at the hotel say that the two got very touchy and intimate during a ‘party’ at the hotel. A picture of the two kissing passionately has added currency to rumours that the two got sexually intimate after the party. Reports have it that Huddah might have leaked the photo.

Tuesday 6 August 2013

#BBATHECHASE: Read Oneal's post eviction interview.



You and Feza have been under scrutiny since your relationship started, why do you think you’ve been the most talked about couple in this season?

I think it’s because of my strong personality, our union made it very easy for her to conform to who I am. In a sense she was sort of swallowed up by my personality which I stand by all the time, I’ll admit I’m a bit of a tough person to deal with so at the end of the day viewers saw a relationship that consisted of two submissive and controlling individuals and I guess that made for good television which ultimately made our relationship the most talked about in comparison to the others. I came across as someone who has control issues and I will not necessarily disagree with the public, I’m a person who controls their space and Feza came into my space and when you are in my space chances are - I will control you

It’s interesting that you speak about control, because a couple of weeks ago we asked Bassey to predict the next evictees. He actually said that you and Feza were next. He claims you were not only conspirers but that your relationship was an absolute pretense and that you were very much controlling of everyone, what’s your comment on that?

First of all Bassey is 22 years old, so it’s very difficult for me to draw anything out of any statements he makes and no disrespect to him and his country. but I think he’s too immature to analyze or rationalize any situation that involves me. I’m a very complex person that deserves a lot more than a measly comment from Bassey.

What was your best tactic for surviving the Big Brother House?

I’ll revert back to my strong personality comment because when we first entered the house I was very reserved, I analyzed people and the strategic ways they played the game, so that really worked for me because people couldn’t figure me out. However, I will admit that my strategy worked up until I met Feza where a lot of dynamics started to change, I put my guard down and had to accommodate somebody else. Within that process I started opening up to not only her but to other people in the house too and in terms of errors in my strategy. That’s where things began to fall apart for me as a player in the game but at the same time I don’t want this to be misconstrued as me saying that I regret getting into a relationship with Feza. If anything, I sacrificed and I was willing to sacrifice my strategy because I had met someone special and in a way I let go of my controlling characteristics and submitted to my feelings.

Speaking about opening up, and just letting you guard down. Whilst on the show we saw you have very deep & meaningful conversations with Bimp who was also Bassey’s least favorite housemate, would you say that you’ve gained yet another brother in Bimp?

Too a large extent and that’s thanks to Feza, because at first I didn’t know Bimp that well but Feza insisted that I actually meet up with him because she believed that Bimp is so much like me mature wise especially. So I agreed to meet up with Bimp and when we met I felt a very intriguing depth about him and from there on I found it very easy to relate and talk to him on an intellectual level. I found that he is a very mature person although I saw a bit of weakness in him when it came to how he played the game. I will go back to the age comment because despite how wise he is at the end of the day he is still a 23 year old who is likely to make mistakes and yes I have gained a brother in him.

You’re also a radio personality back home and considering that you have a following that likes and dislikes you, are you a bit weary of how your followers back home will react to you when going back on air?

Not necessarily, the one thing I know about my country is that it doesn’t matter where I am in the world, I always know that I’m their son, their child and that’s how they’ll always treat you. You go out there in the world and make mistakes, and they see those mistakes but they’re very forgiving because it’s just something that’s within us as people from Botswana. I know that many will crucify me for the things I’ve done and said in the house but I know my country, only a very few will hold onto the mistakes I’ve done. The rest will appreciate my work on Big Brother, Botswana has my back all the way.

You once mentioned that the reason you entered Big Brother was because you believed the house lacked you, seeing that you’ve gained this experience would you audition for the competition again?

Quite frankly I wouldn’t audition for the competition again and with me mentioning that Big Brother needed an O’Neal I meant that, I say this without even flinching, Big Brother needed O’Neal so bad and I’m just glad I put it the way it is, because I left my mark and I know I have changed as an individual because of the game. The fact is I’ve created dialogue, and the dialogue I’ve created across Africa isn’t necessarily a soppy one where people pretend to love each other. I opened up a platform for people to really say what they feel about other countries, and how one could express themselves about the overbearing nature of some West Africans. I feel that we dance around certain regions of Africa simply because they are more popular than others and I felt that it just makes us inferior. Somebody had to just stand up against that and I was that person.

Elikem read out the Airtel Arena Showdown to the housemates. They are to compete in sack race, egg race, scooter race and tyre roll. The housemates were divided into two teams. Elikem sat the game out and later joined Melvin, Bimp, Cleo and Beverly who won the showdown.

Melvin, Bimp and Elikem discussed nominations, save and replace and the pressure that comes with that. Elikem said it's easy for him  to save himself and put anybody up since he has been nominated by that person. Bimp and Melvin agrees it's emotional for them and difficult to do.

Angelo discussed with Beverly about her smoking habit and tried encouraging her to stop. In the lounge Big Brother played Channel O for the housemates. Later that night Angelo and Beverly got very cozy and intimate under the blanket.

Saturday morning saw most housemates still sleeping after staying up late the other night. They later woke up and got something doing from cleaning, to doing laundry.

The housemates gathered in the garden for the Airtel Picnic and the Airtel Show which the housemates re-introduced themselves to Africa. Later in the afternoon, Elikem the HoH picked Melvin to accompany him to the rendezvous room and both played video game.

Beverly and Angelo spent the evening relaxing in the jacuzzi and discussed everything and had a nice time together. Dillish prepared dinner for the housemates. Housemates prepared for their Saturday night party. They were thrilled to a lovely party by DJ Vision from Ghana and Cleo was ecstatic when he played her song. Later that night Angelo and Beverly got into a fight, but was sorted later.

On Sunday morning, the nominated housemates, Oneal, Feza and Elikem got their hair done by Big Brother's stylist. Elikem also gave Bimp a haircut and helped Melvin shave and trim his beard.

It was a quiet Sunday as usual because of  eviction fevers. Some housemates tried sleeping during the day while some engaged in lightweight discussions.

The nominated housemates had their nomination diary session. Feza said if she leaves, she will leave a proud person. Oneal talked about how nervous he is especially for Feza. Elikem talked about his relationship with Bimp and how he does not know how Bimp will take it when he knows he has been swapped.

The housemates prepared for the live show and gathered in the lounge. The live show kicked off as usual with the host IK. IK later crossed into the house and evicted Oneal.

After the eviction show, life in the big brother house continued with some housemates chilling in the jacuzzi including Feza whose boyfriend had been evicted. Elikem and Cleo were in the bedroom and discussed about how the nominations could go on Monday.

#BBATHECHASE: Goodbye Oneal.

Oneal AKA Anti West Africa, AKA particular 'jancthure' exited the show this evening. I actually thought Feza was going to leave today.

After Elikem revealed his swap to his housemates, IK then told Oneal to leave the big brother house immediately as he had been evicted from the house.

Ik asked him about all the West African comment and dude said he isn't sorry and won't apologise for it. He also talked about his relationship with Feza and how he's planning to bring Feza to Botswana a week after she leaves the show.

Anyways, it's good to see the Oneza alliance broken. And this is how Africa voted;

Angola: Bimp
Botswana: Oneal
Ghana: Bimp
Kenya: Feza

Malawi: Bimp
Namibia: Bimp
Nigeria: Bimp
South Africa: Oneal

#BBATHECHASE: What is happening? Day 67.

The day started differently. There were no trainers to put the housemates through the morning exercise as usual. When the trainer arrived into the house, Big Brother called him into the diary room and he didn't return back to the house. Angelo and Melvin took it upon themselves to exercise without the trainer while the other housemates were sleeping.

Oneal and Feza did their laundry together early in the morning. Melvin got very playful with Dillish in the bedroom. They were both all over each other playing, teasing and pillow fighting. Melvin also appeared to give Dillish some pecks(kiss) to the delight of numerous 'Mellish' fans on twitter.

The housemates were given the first task of the day. The Housemates had to create a TV advert for the TV Show in time for Presentations tonight. Housemates had to use Lipton Tea as the main brand for their advert. The Housemates had to come up with a five minute advert using the tea, cups and the backpack. Meanwhile, Oneal and Feza prepared breakfast for the housemates.

Diary sessions started with Dillish. She believes housemates will win their wager. She also noted that Feza and Oneal have recently been mixing with the housemates and suspect maybe it's because they are up for eviction. Feza said only her, Oneal and Bimp are real in the house while the rest of the housemates are putting up an appearance. Oneal couldn't stop ranting and complaining about housemates sucking up to the HoH and not accepting his ideas for the Lipton tea advert task. Bimp had a lot to say about Elikem in the diary room and how he thinks he is putting up an appearance and not real.

The diary session continued with Beverly, Angelo, Cleo, Elikem and Melvin. They all agreed that winning Head of House at this stage in the competition is very important and crucial. They also agreed housemates have now taken the Power of No task very seriously as no one wants to be exempted from the Head of House task.

Housemates continued with their task work and put finishing touches to their performance in preparation for their task presentation. The Head of House Elikem read out a brief to the housemates in which Big Brother cautioned the housemates to adhere to the time given.

Bimp confronted Elikem about his feelings towards him. He said "Elikem, I'll be honest with you. I have been angry at you since Friday because of the fight, as well as Nando's Exit. I think my anger has played a role in me thinking you swapped me. I had taken it personally but now less personally." Bimp then later told Elikem he doesn't think they would ever be best of friends. Elikem told him anyone could be up and it's up to Africa to save the person. Elikem also said "I don't care what you think of me. I know what and who I am. I've been a target since the game started and that has made me a stronger person. However, I am glad you came to me and opened up, instead of going to talk to other people."

The housemates started their task presentation. Elikem and Feza handled the News Bulletin and read out the News as regards the Big Brother house. It was followed by the Weather Report which was co-presented by Cleo and Dillish. There was a Lipton Tea advert break after that which Oneal, Elikem and Dillish participated in. The presentation ended with a comedy show which Melvin and Beverly starred in. Cleo, Dillish, Elikem also made appearance in the very funny short comedy show. The housemates won their wager and were rewarded with Popcorn, drinks and also treated to a movie in the lounge.

Oneal didn't look happy because the movie biggie played was from West Africa, he was outside most of the time. He also has his usual quarrel with Feza which left her cvrying inside the Jacuzzi. Oneal also said he's tired of the house and the West African thing.
