DONE with the thrills, frills and razzmatazz that come with being in the Big brother House, contestants are gradually settling down to the real business of tasks, nominations and evictions. Barely 24 hours after they made it to the Big Brother: The Chase, the housemates are already nominating each other, ahead of the first eviction.
Early on Day 1, the housemates in both houses got the chance to claim the honour of the fiercely contested Head of House role. Instead of battling it out in a task, Big Brother made the selection random, making the housemates select a ball from a box in the garden without peeking; the one who chose the winning ball would be Head of House for week. Feza picked the right ball in the Diamond house, while Beverly was victorious in the Ruby house.
After a testing day, which saw the housemates having to make nomination decisions on the fly, the lounges in both houses were in sombre mood as Big Brother delivered the nomination verdict. The 5 housemates that are up for eviction this week are Selly (Ghana) & Natasha (Malawi) and Diamonds Denzel (Uganda), Betty (Ethiopia) and Huddah (Kenya). Viewers can now decide who stays and who goes!
The Diamonds’ nominations saw Huddah, Denzel and Elikem lead the pack with seven, six and four nominations respectively. Betty, Annabel, Fatima, Bolt and Neyll picked up two nominations apiece, with Dellish picking up one. Diamond Head of House Feza stuck to her original nomination decision and saved Elikem, replacing him with Betty, who she had nominated during the day.
Once the Rubies had spoken, Selly and Bassey had 6 nominations each, with Natasha and Hakeem picking up three each. Cleo and Biguesas were each nominated twice, while Sulu, Maria, Beverley, ONeal, Koketso and Pokello were each nominated once. Beverley, in her role as Ruby Head of House, chose to save Bassey and put Natasha up for eviction in his place.
Each week voting opens immediately after Monday night’s nomination show and closes at 06:00 CAT on Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, Bharti Airtel, a leading telecommunications services provider with operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa, is now the official sponsor of the BBA 2013.
Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Airtel Nigeria commented, Segun Ogunsanya said, “Africa’s viewers are known for their passion for Big Brother Africa and we look forward to developing a number of exciting initiatives during season 8. I am delighted to welcome AfricaMagic and DStv into our family of commercial partners. We are also pleased to be associated with Big Brother Africa 2013. The show presents huge opportunities for Airtel to make an emotional connection with our customers.”
Big Brother The Chase has 28 housemates from 14 countries. The housemates will need to gain acceptance from viewers in order to survive evictions. After 91 days of drama and thrills, the winner will pocket a whopping USD 300,000 prize.
