Big Brother Africa 8: The departure and arrival

After the whole swap thing and the unending tears in the Rubies house, the euphoria in the Diamonds. It was time for the housemates that were swapped to leave the old house for their new house. Big Brother had given the four housemates Denzel, Neyll, Hakeem and Melvin thirty minutes to pack their belongings and get set to leave.

Big Brother Africa 8:Relationships and love triangle in the Ruby house.

Relationships and who's feeling who was the topic during the diary session this afternoon in the Ruby house. That, and also the tension and anticipation of who is giving who his or her gifts during the presentation task this night. LK4 is obviously the man of the moment, while Koketso is the lady of the moment and coincidentally they both seem to have a thing for each other. Housemates talked about the budding relationships in the house and most talked about is the bond between LK4 and Koketso.

Big Brother Africa 8: Rubies relationship.

It's been a general and group thing in the Rubies house with all housemates at most times participating in all the fun and entertaining stuff. We've not had a stand out character or anyone particularly outshining the other. No particular love interest unlike the Diamond house. But i think that is going to change soon and we might just be seeing couples in the Ruby House.

Big Brother Africa 8: Late Night party.

It is always about entertainment for the housemates in Rubies.  After getting some booze from biggie the housemates got into party mood. Without music in the house, they created their own party. It started in the lounge with about 5 housemates dancing and singing out aloud in front of the mirror. After noticing Beverly and Maria in the jacuzzi, the party shifted out right in front of the jacuzzi and every housemates joined in the fun.

With Bassey beating a talking drum, the housemates chorused the song " Go Zambia, Go Naija, Go Ghana etc" , The housemate from that country got in the middle and danced to the talking drum and the chorused song, it went round with every country being represented in the Rubies house and the housemates showed their skills, except for CEO/Queen Pokello.

 It was really fun and good to watch Beverly, the Nigerian housemate, who  jumped out of the jacuzzi to dance along in her bikini with her co-Naija housemate, Melvin when "Go Naija" was being sung. And wow... Selly, the Ghanaian housemate is gifted, girl knows how to shake and whine that booty.

No dull moment for the Rubies. Which is your favourite house, Diamonds or Rubies?

Big Brother Africa 8: Did Bolt and Betty have sex?

Something definitely went down between Bolt and Betty last night. They have both been all over each other earlier in the night, sitting right beside each other, drinking together, alongside Elikem and Feza, at some point Betty rested her head over Bolt's shoulder while he softly played with her hair and randomly kissing each other. Later in the night when most housemates were already asleep, the camera was on Elikem and Fatima, Yes you heard right, Fatima. Both sleeping on the same bed and chatting, later on the camera shifted to Bolt and Betty on the same bed with what obviously looked like something was going on.

Big Brother Africa 8: Denando and Anaboltty.

Could we be having another 'Richiana' or a 'Lohan' that never happened in the Diamond house? Nando and Dellish have been spending quality time together. Last night, they were talking and sharing a fruit together. This morning, Nando fed Dellish and she looked like she enjoyed every bit of the attention.

Dellish and nando enjoyed a hot bubble bath this evening, smilling and laughing. They've been inseparable for the better part of the day.
  Are they together because of the  speed date task, or  are they naturally attracted to each other? Like i always say, time will tell.

Big Brother Africa 8: A night of Massage.

Diamond house came alive late into midnight just after their diary session was concluded. All housemates were still awake late into 1am.

The point of meeting and attraction was in the bedroom where Bolt, Elikem, Dellish, Nando, Feza, Motama and Betty were locked in general conversation. Betty was very quiet all through with her eyes just fixed on Bolt who was enjoying his conversation with the others, with Annabel going and coming in between.

Nando : He's fun, bubbly. His session was quite short. he has no strategy, he's just going to be himself. He wants more girls from the other house.

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. 

Big Brother Africa 8: The imitating game

It seems all the fun this morning was happening only in the Rubies house as the housemates just immediately after The Natasha Show engaged themselves in another interesting game. This time around, imitating each other and making fun of each other. The game was introduced by Oneal who said a housemate will imitate another housemate, and the imitated housemate will take to the stage and imitate another housemate till all housemates have been imitated.

Big Brother Africa 8: The Natasha show.

 
It was mad fun in the rubies house this morning. Big brother had ordered all the housemates into the bedroom until further notice. It didn't take long for the housemates to start to entertain themselves.

This time around it was the Malawian housemate Natasha who took the initiative to do something similar to a talk show/interview. Wrapped in a red towel, she stood up holding a torchlight which she used as a mic and started interviewing the housemates one after the other. It was really fun with each housemates taking turn with Natasha to dish out what makes them fun and unique.

Big Brother Africa 8: Early morning session

Be ready to miss a lot of drama, if you dare close your eyes for a minute.

Bolt from Sierra leone and Betty from Ethiopia engaged themselves in a very steamy session this morning.They couldn't keep their hands off each other. They locked lips passionately, caressed each other so well, to the point of seeing Betty's breasts.

Bolt told Betty, he liked her since the first day he saw her, love nwantintin. He even thanked her for a compliment.

Big Brother Africa 8: Stories that touch and The kissing galore.

Less than 24 hours into the show, and we already have a chatterbox in the house, Nigeria female representative, Beverly cant seem to stop talking.

She has gone through 21 years of her life in 30mins. From her dad not being able to send her through school, to being molested, her mum being a "Hustler". From her being expelled in primary school to joining the convent, dropping out of college. Terminated a 4months pregnancy, her mum disappearing for 2 years to the extent of her going through 'undignified'  means to make a living, so much that people thought she had HIV. And she didn't fail to mention this more than five times.
 Beverly, are these stories not too much for international tv?

Compared to Beverly's 'autobiography', Hakeem also told his story. How he dropped out of school, went into modelling, went back to school. Then he got someone pregnant, he had no money so he had to drop out again to fend for his baby.

The Rubies housemates are not only about stories, they also know how to have fun. They engaged themselves int the usual 'spin the bottle game'. which saw Selly kiss Biguesas, She smooched Sulu. Beverly also kissed LK4..woohoo! cant wait to see the end result of these kisses.

Much didn't happen in the diamond house, apart from Elikem and Huddah getting into an argument in the kitchen. The effect of which was Huddah's nomination by majority of the housemates.
