Big Brother africa 8: Rubies diary session.

The housemates had their first diary session of the season today. As usual, the first diary session is not always revealing. 

Cleo : she's loud, but not as loud as she thought. She gets along with Koketso, Beverly, Oneal and her Zambian counterpart which is obvious. she doesn't have a strategy, just be herself and will let biggie know if she comes up with a strategy. she feels she will win the grand prize, though there are strong personalities in the house but she believes in herself. she doesn't feel good about nominations, was difficult for her to nominate. She feels horrible about nominating Selly, because after that they have talked and are getting along. she will start nominating strong people from next nominations.

Melvin : he's fine, just there, nothing to be too happy or too sad about. He's definitely happy to be in the big brother house. It gives him an opportunity to represent his country and share with the world what his country stands for. It's a platform for him to show Africa what he stands for as an individual. Getting to meet people from different countries for the first time, getting to know different culture and different countries. Melvin is from delta state, a graduate of University of port Harcourt, industrial chemistry, had his post graduate  at the University of Lagos,Nigeria. He's  an entertainer, been into entertainment for 5 years, a model, an actor. He's from a family of 6. Surprised about two houses, was expecting one house. the house is fine which he expected. he is going to be himself, has a personality that's entertaining, a fun loving guy. likes to laugh a lot, he is easily amused.

Beverly : Big brother noticed she looks down, she misses her mum, Denrele and her family. she will cope as she has a new family and coupled with the fact that she went to a boarding school. Biguesas is free, Oneal is cool, says what he wants to say, Hakeem is also free and everyone is wonderful. She feels very normal and only remembers its a game because of diary session and nominations, hopes to last 91 days but she feels like a winner already being in the house. She is the youngest and that makes her unique, she's happy and proud to be head of house especially as she is the youngest. She's a diplomat, very liberal and learns to appreciate and love people. Young, charming  and full of life. Thanks big brother for bringing her to the house, sends a shout out to her mum and misses her and her friend, Charity.

Bassey : Bassey is fun, crazy, doesn't give a 'fuck' about what people say, can run naked and go outside and don't care, a neat freak, awesome, likes fun people. Understands he is not in his house, has to be patient and try to get along with everyone and avoids confrontation. He has never been in a jacuzzi before, first time ever was last night and he likes it, the house is cool and very creative except there's just one toilet. Natasha is crazy, a control freak, a real mum but she is real and he likes that about her. Getting to know more of Hakeem and he is fun. Being a Sierra-Leonan and his skin colour being different makes him unique. His character also and he likes entertaining people. He's a family guy, a good coffee maker and Lk4 and Koketso likes his coffee. He will act to entertain big brother, he expected to be nominated and he felt sad at first but felt strong as they see him as a competition.

Koketso : she is good, fine and happy. Missing her family and wondering what people think about her. The house is a lot smaller than she thought, people in the house are cool and they all get together. Koketso is socially conscious, compassionate, caring, she is daring and mischievous sometimes, inquisitive, fun, passionate person. Talks about the underwear day and how she likes to make herself heard and not let opinion forced on her. She doesn't have a strategy, her only strategy is to have as much fun as she can. She's been thinking about nomination and how difficult it was for her to nominate.

Hakeem : Hakeem is a very passionate, smart, confident, humble young man. A model, has wild and moody moment. temperamental and can blend with any crowd. He is ecstatic to be in the house as he dreams of being in the big brother house. Getting on along quite well the housemates, gets along more with LK4, Biguesas, Beverly, Natasha and starting to get along with Bassey. It was the most difficult thing to nominate someone just in a day. He believes the housemates are like a family. Wasn't surprised about Bassey being nominated but feels bad now as he now sees more of Bassey. And he doesn't understand why Selly got nominated as she's very cool and down to earth. His strategy is paying attention to details, gestures, movements, and to become a distraction to people and figure a way out to entertain Africa.

Sulu : He loves fun, he is friendly, talks a lot and loves people. It's awesome to be in the house, everybody is his sister and brother. He forgets most of the time that it is a game. Said the house is beautiful, was very happy about the fire task as it made him  bond with the housemates and got to know them better. He's getting along very well with Oneal, LK4, Selly, Pokello, Natasha, Melvin, Beverly. What sets him apart is his understanding about life, his personality and attitude towards the housemates. His expectation is to win the money. Nominated randomly, believes the nomination was fake as no one had any good reason to nominate. Predicts there will be drama and tension in the house after the eviction on Sunday.

Pokello : She is an independent woman, strong minded, loyal, friendly and kind. Despite what has been written in the press about her, she is a different person, lovely person and can be controlling at times. Feels the housemates understands her personality and understands her. Feels the press has portrayed her badly back in Zimbabwe and big brother gives her a platform for her to showcase her real self. Her nude pictures was released to the press that went viral and gave her a negative image. It was an invasion of her privacy and to assassinate her character and career. She doesn't feel it will affect her chances in the big brother house. She doesn't have a strategy, just wants to get close to everybody. Getting along with Beverly, Sulu, Selly, Oneal and LK4.

Biguesas : His strategy is to be himself, to show housemates what they can take as an example. He's a neat freak and wants some household items from big brother, such as mops, washing machine,etc. Language barrier is really a problem for Biguesas

Natasha : she is very unpredictable, she likes fun. Fellow housemates are good people which makes it difficult for her to nominate as she didn't have any reason to. She's glad to be in this house with the housemates.She has no expectation coming into the house except to win the prize.She also complained about the recurring headache and her blood pressure.

Oneal : Was happy with big brother's treat for his birthday, didn't expect it. The house is amazing, absolutely magnificent. The housemates are a bubbly bunch. Majority of the people came prepared for the experience. He was very prepared also for the game. He is passionate about music, thinks he is an entertainer at heart, interested in global politics, curious at mind and also he is a misunderstood individual. He wasn't sentimental about the revelations of nominations and took it differently from other housemates. He's a strong person, not only physically but also mentally and can handle any situation.

Maria : She's been waiting for so long to be called. She is a simple girl. She is a model, a PR, event and image consultant. Behind all the smile and happiness, she is very sensitive and cries inside. She felt so bad about the nominations because one of the people she nominated, Selly was up for eviction. She has become close to everyone, can't think of anyone she isn't getting along with and will be difficult to nominate. She expected the house the way it is, she loves it as it is comfortable and welcoming. She doesn't have any strategy, she just wants to try to be herself, have fun and be entertaining. Africa should expect a lot of dancing, smiles from her. She is an ambassador for happiness.
LK4

LK4 : He is humble but sometimes flamboyant, arrogant, intelligent and a comedian . Africa should expect a new experience from him. It is a great experience to be in the big brother house. His strategy is to be protective of his heart and disciplined when it comes to women but also to be himself and make Africa see who he is. He loves the housemates, they are amazing and are complimentary. Nominations was very intense and emotional for them.

Selly : She is being real and being herself. She doesn't have any limits, she is open minded. She has an opinion and will defend what she believes in. She hates backbiting and will confront anyone who backbites about her. She is an only child and was brought up by a single mother. And being in the house is a challenge for her and hope to escape eviction, and be in the house for long. She likes adventure and wild stuff. She is focused, determined and things always come to her. She wasn't very surprised to be nominated because she was laid back and hadn't connected with a lot of people. But feels bad about being nominated because of the expectations and pressure back home in Ghana. She cries in the diary room as she is worried about being up for eviction. Big brother consoled, encouraged and put a smile back on her face.
