<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ellah and Idris were often seen snuggling under the covers. They even kissed several times as they enjoyed their time in the Big Brother house. But after their mothers visited and cautioned them during the freeze task in the second last week of the show, things changed and they ended up in a complicated situation as the 21-year-old Tanzanian photographer couldn't decide whether he wanted to be with Ellah or not.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This of course made her most upset, but the 24-year-old Ugandan beauty queen couldn't help all her infatuation. In an interview with Uganda's <a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/663103-ellah-i-had-plans-to-marry-bba-s-idris.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>New Vision</i></a>, Ellah, real name Stellah Nantumbwe, has revealed that she had plans to marry the Big Brother Hotshots winner. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Life has changed, but for the better. I am proud of what I have achieved so far.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I watched you on the Scoop 'n Scoop show on Urban TV.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was my first time on TV as a presenter. I was not nervous. I was just myself. I guess the cameras in the Big Brother House helped a lot.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Definitely Idris Sultan. He has a great masculine body. I think he has all the qualities any woman would want.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tell us about Idris. Was the relationship real?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I do not know about him, but for me, it was real. Right now, we are settling back into our lives. We will see if we still have the feelings for each other.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are in touch. But I cannot tell you to what extent.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For me, it is about maturity, not age.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, but we decided to put our relationship on hold. This is because when money is in control, a lot can happen. We shall give ourselves some time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">At that moment, I did not care at all. I just wanted to follow my heart, be myself and be happy.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being aggressive, manipulative and having self-pity.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You get very anxious when you enter the BBA House: You do not know what to expect. But soon, it gets easier as you interact with your housemates. The diary room sessions and the cameras remind you that you are not in isolation. Just knowing there are people outside who are around you is comforting.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was a good friendship. We always had a good conversation. I guess he was so kind to me because of my character. I did not forgot to tell him "thank you" after every session.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I did not and I would not want to meet the person behind the voice. It is just nice that the voice makes you feel like someone is watching over you, like a real big brother.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Honestly, I would totally understand that and move on with my life.</span></span></div>

After Idris together with Tayo were declared the final two, Biggie called them to the Diary room where they’d their very last Diary as Hotshots final two during which Biggie wished them the very best of luck and urged them to continue playing their game even on the outside.<br /><br />Shortly after leaving the Diary room, they were Chauffeur driven in a Limo to the Live Show stage and had a red carpet walk greeting fans and invited guests.<br /><br />Host IK had a chat with the duo before going on to call out Idris’ name as the winner of Big Brother Hotshots! He jumped up in excitement and went on the floor before being congratulated by Tayo, the 6 first evictees of the day and then the rest of the ex-Hotshots joined in the celebrations thereafter.<br /><br />Huge congratulations to Idris, one lucky lad there!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s been a mouth-watering Final Live Show of our beloved Big Brother
 Hotshots which was preceded by the Ex-Hotshots making a red carpet 
appearance an hour before all the cameras changed focus to the studio 
with host IK who invited the the former housemates on stage. All of them
 performed for Africa and from the screams and chants which could be 
over heard from the audience, it weas clear that they were having 
priceless fun.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The red carpet was dazzling and the next to walk past cheering fans was Samantha
 from South Africa. Upon being asked what the feedback had been from 
fans, she told Carol that she was amazed at the love she got across the 
continent, but particularly from her home country.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Carol mischievously enquired whether Samantha’s money was onIdris or JJ,
 two men the lovely lass had close relations with in the house. 
Samantha’s coy response was that she was OK with either of them winning.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next to arrive was Multichoice 
representative Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, the regional director of M-Net (West 
Africa). She spoke about the fire which ripped through the original 
houses, and thanked everyone behind the scenes for pulling through 
despite all that went down. Her personal highlight of the season was 
when the ex-housemates were in the house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Representing Endemol, the original big 
wigs behind Big Brother, was Senior Head Creative Brendan Gabriel. His 
view on Big Brother remaining so big on the continent was that it 
allowed Africans to escape into an opulent house and party.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After these heavyweights continued their walk down the red carpet there were more housemates to greet. Frankie, from
 Rwanda, looked spiffy in a sharp suit. Following him was the incredible
 host IK, who told us what he was getting up to when he was not on Big Brother Africa.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A platinum-blonde Sheillah looked glam in
 a sexy white dress, who Vimbai said had caught the eye of Desmond 
Elliot. The lovely girl from Botswana could not wait to launch her 
career, including utitlising her incredible voice.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We’ve seen only a handful of Hotshots and
 top dogs walk the red carpet, but there are plenty more to come. Make 
sure you keep on watching so that you can see all your favourites and 
hear what they have been up to.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The end is indeed here and how better to start off the morning with some noise? The day started off with a prank for the Three Suckers and a shocking altercation between Tayo and two members of the Three Suckers – Nhlanhla and JJ.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Earlier in the week, JJ and Nhlanhla had neatly pranked the hotshots by carrying their bags outside whilst they slept. The rest of the hotshots woke up only to be startled by the sudden disappearance of their bags. They all wondered what had happened and even considered if it may have not been one of Biggie's pranks.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This morning, in retaliation to the prank, the rest of the housemates carefully orchestrated a prank on the Three Suckers. A mixture of eggs, couscous and flour was poured over the boys, pulling them quickly out of bed and into the shower!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the pay-back prank, Nhlanhla said that their prank was better than the one pulled on them but what really set Tayo on fire, was a comment that JJ passed which he admitted to have not clearly heard but hated that he said anything behind his back. JJ insisted that he was neither talking about him or to him.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tayo went over to the shower where the boys were cleaning themselves up. He shouted and pointed fingers at JJ, threatening that if he dare repeated the things he said to him inside Biggie's house, outside of the house, he would deal with him decisively as he would not have any protection – no Biggie and no cameras. Perhaps JJ needed to consider bodyguards!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">JJ kept telling Tayo that everyone was witnessing who he really was and urged him to continue with his insults and threats. And Tayo did not disappoint! We wondered if the Nigerian model was not simply anxious about the finale show and at least hoped that he was not serious about doing damage to JJ and Nhlanhla after the show.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's the final day and it's going to be a long one, as the top eight Hotshots try to stay busy and keep their minds occupied before the grand finale.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last night's dinner and ONE Africa Concert will at least give them plenty to talk about. For their last night they were spoiled by Big Brother with a six-course meal and performances by seven African artists. They asked the Hotshots a lot of questions about the game – giving them the perfect chance to reflect on their journey in the Big Brother Africa house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The final Extravaganza will take place tonight and housemates spent time yesterday preparing. During the afternoon they took it easy, although they often filled the house with rapping and drumming as the five remaining men hung out together in the living room.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They will also get a chance to reunite with their former housemates and after receiving encouraging messages from them during the dinner party they are probably even more excited to see them.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The end was near and with it 
performances, facades, pretences and perhaps even strategies were 
falling by the wayside. What was interesting to see was how the 
remaining eight – well factions of them at least – had eased into a 
comfortable space, so comfortable with one another they almost resembled
 a dysfunctional family.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Idris
 and Butterphly were a typical case in point. The two friends were often
 frank with one another, able to the laugh at themselves and at each 
other.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They were also not too shy to tell one 
another just where to jump off which often made for funny bickering as 
they threw shot after shot at one another.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it wasn’t Idris accusing Butterphly of
 talking like a “cheese girl” with a pointed anglicised accent, it was 
her yelling over her voice to drown out his drivel. Idris often got the 
backing of his bandits Nhlanhla and JJ
 while Butterphly got honourary member, or rather “suckateer”, in their 
boys club The Three Suckers. She was always able to stand her ground 
with him while she grounded him by not buying into his ego-driven 
emotional trips.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This morning while the pair were cleaning
 up the garden they got into it yet again, this time with Butterphly 
taking the upper hand. It was all very funny and endearing to see. After
 surviving Idris’s add when he was Head of House there little to no 
doubt that this pair were as close as two peas in a pot.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the housemates gather around for the 
final Extravaganza rehearsals, their commitment to the last hurrah was 
palpable. With only the top eight left there were no teams and it was 
really about how housemates were going to create a unified whole 
performance while adding their own individual flavour to it. Their 
rapping and rhyming was taking on good shape for tomorrow night.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In line with this week’s theme, looking 
back to their journey over the season, each housemate was tasked here to
 come up with an extravaganza piece that spoke to how they have grown 
and what they are going to take away from the experience.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With M’am Bea carrying the song with her sweet melody and Tayo feeding a proudly African and edgy djembe beat to the track the rest laid their respective verses on the tune. From Sipe expressing her gratitude and honour at being a Hotshot to Butterphly and Macky2
 speaking to their highlights in the game through a natural flair for 
the spoken word everyone was primed to bring their A-game at the last 
extravaganza performance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the style of a hip hop cypher – which 
historically brought together musician, poets, MC’s, rappers and 
wordsmiths alike so each could tell their own story in the whole –  the 
housemates turned rappers were going to affirm just why they were 
heavyweights having come so far in the game.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today was indeed a “musical day” of sorts
 going the the way Biggie has been unleashing various tracks nonstop. 
After doing their rehearsals for their final Extravaganza of the season,
 Biggie surprised housemates by playing back <i>“Mira On The Wall”</i> a song concieved and crafted inside the Big Brother house by evicted Namibian reps Luis and Permithias. As soon as it started playing, the house was filled with ululations, jubilations, chants and praises for Luis.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It should be noted that the inspiration 
behind this now hit love song was drawn from the short on-show romance 
Luis had with Mozambican belle Mira. unfortunately the pair only got to 
know about each other for just one week following Mira’s eviction, 
something that would see Luis spending the next three weeks in the house
 just thinking and getting a “depression” over his lost love.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s as a result of intense missing of 
Mira that he teamed up with countryman and famous guitarist Permithias 
who composed while he penned down the lyrics to the song.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After their respective evictions, they 
got together, worked on the song and produced it. When listening to the 
song, Luis is heard expressing his undying love for Mira while 
Permithias plays backup vocalist and serenades the lyrics too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, as it played Tayo, Idris, JJ, Nhlanhla and Macky2
 rashed to the lounge (infront of the mirror) chanting, singing and 
dancing. It may have played for just once but trust the Hotshots, they 
were as good at mastering some if not all of the lyrics of the song and 
begged Biggie to play it again. They later sent shout outs to Luis and 
apllauded him for the good work.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s one of very final days in the Big 
Brother Hotshots house and it’s only ideal and natural for housemates to
 start talking about life after the show whose curtains come down 
tomorrow evening. By the look of things, most of the them want to 
venture into the entertainment world something that is probably a nice 
move basing on the pace the industry in Africa is growing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Housemates were coming to the realisation
 that their time on the show was certainly not in vain, whether they 
took the money home or not. They were already winners with all the 
exposure to opportunity they had already received. This morning Idris
 sat down with theButterphly as she attended to a mountain of laundry 
and the two friends shared their hopes, dreams and plans when the leave 
the house tomorrow.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Butterphly came in a wordsmith and showed
 Africa just how talented a poet she was. While she wasn’t quite sure 
where she would start but she was going to venture into music and get 
her business idea’s off the ground. She had certainly made her mark as 
one of the brightest sparks and communicators inside the house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Idris wanted a comedy show all to 
himself. He was shooting for the stars with his talent as comic and one 
day hoped his show could land a slot in an international comedy channel 
like Comedy Central. He advised Butterphly to write for as many mediums 
as she could on the outside .</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Butterphly however advised Idris that he 
could make a good co-presenter because he’s very funny but the Tanzanian
 lad wanted a show of his own and said he’d persue it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s just hours before the much 
anticipated grand finale of Big Brother Hotshots but the stress and 
anxienty that most probably comes with it didn’t deter the likes of Idris and Ma’m Bea from having a little fun as they got busy courtesy of some fine African tunes Biggie played in the morning.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shortly after working out with Nico, showering and having a chat with JJ,
 Idris made the most of the morning time dancing infront of the mirror 
to Biggie’s selection. Interestingly, most of the song Biggie played 
were from East African artistes like Wyre something that made Idris even
 more wild as he sang, jumped and danced along. He however gave himself 
some much needed brief rests and then returned to the floor with a 
new dance style.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ma’m Bea who was busy with her routine 
cleaning duties danced and cleaned at the sametime and surely it was a 
sight not to be missed as the Ghanaian designer shook what her mama gave
 her as if her life depended on it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, the finale is just around the

 as a result of having an eye on the looming show.</span></span></div>

Butterphly the ‘suckateer’

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just when you thought Butterphly was 
coming out of her cocoon and blossoming into an independent player she 
goes off and seeks entrance into the infamous Three Suckers ensemble. 
Not only that but they were giving her the poor girl the run around; 
kind of like how your brothers ran away from the sister who wanted to be
 part of the crew all the while making fun of her. After being Ellah’s cheerleaderfor the longest time we reckon she was certainly jumping from the frying pan to the fire with the boys.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last night The Three Suckers sat in all 
their idle glory cooking up yet another prank as part of their campaign 
to have fun and ruffle feathers in the last week. At first Butterphly 
took the moral high road and told them she would not be part of such a 
nasty prank but she later capitulated and was a whole lot more eager to 
play a small part in the pranking.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But for voicing her opinion she was 
labelled a “suckateer” by the Three Suckers, alluding somehow to her 
being an inferior sucker who wouldn’t make the cut because she lack the 
necessary guts.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was no doubt that guts were 
something “Buttaphleeza” needed more of, especially going up against the
 band of the mischievous. She had promised Africa more self-expression 
earlier in the week and while she was louder and more vocal than the 
withdrawn character we had gotten used to she was still prone to using 
someone as her crutch.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After being banished from The Threa 
Suckers club she withdrew to go over her recitations for their upcoming 
final extravaganza and later, indulge in her favourite past time and 
sleep.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She may have spent just seven days in the Big Brother Hotshots house but Mira
 left her mark untainted and it surely seems the gorgeous belle also 
stole a few more hearts. We’ve been used to the fact that she was and 
still is “Luis‘
 woman” but that didn’t deter a few more Hotshots expressing how they 
felt about her and who would it be if not for two thirds of the suckers;
 JJ and Nhlanhla.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The fact that it’s rememberance week, the
 two lads indeed went down memory lane reminscing the good times they 
shared with the Mozambican beaut, the pair agreed that they should have 
probably tried their luck on her. The excited suckers said that going 
for her wouldn’t have been a bad idea but she was most likely to 
friend-zone them basing on the fact that she’d so many “secret 
admirers”.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

 said that he remembers the kiss he’d with her in Sheillah’s presence as
 if it just happened before going to explain how she was dressed on the 
second day – simple jeans and a tee. She also struck JJ on the morning. 
He gleamed as he recalled how he’d gone to bed next to a beautiful girl 
only to wake with her looking ten times as good.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They then talked about the great friend 
she’d make but their lips couldn’t stay away from the word “perfect”, 
stressing that she was a perfect being.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s been a chilled morning today just 
like the rest of them this final week as housemates seem to have 
retreated back their shells “after all we are already in the final”. 
Well, today housemates will have task presentations thus they’ve been 
busy putting final touches to their respective sculptures and it’s 
during these preps that Sipe had a one on one with bestie Macky2 accusing him of criticising the way she has fun.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It all stems from the way the Malawian 
spends her time especially when intoxicated. She accused Macky2 of 
always criticising him and not having her back as a friend would do 
adding that he’s always painting her in negative light.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We all know that Macky2 likes his cool 
and quiet environment and when it comes to people singing on top of 
their voices and drinking like their lives depended on it, he gets 
irritated.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A vividly angry Sipe told off Macky2 that
 if at all Africa doesn’t vote for her because of the way she has fun so
 be it because she couldn’t change it as she was being herself.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Macky2 tried defending himself and 
reasoning with her but she refused to give him audience continuing to 
accuse him of this and that and finally told him that she didn’t want to
 continue talking about it.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In changing things a little this week, Big Brother decided that the final extravaganza would form part of the finale show on Sunday night. Housemates would perform live from the Big Brother house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The extravaganza had to be exactly four minutes long and had to showcase the talents of each of the remaining housemates. These features could include drama, poetry, comedy, dance and song.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Biggie challenged the housemates to also consider all the skills that they have acquired over the Hotshots season when crafting their act. This week’s extravaganza was themed: “The Big Brother Hotshots Journey”.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Biggie gave the housemates the rest of the day to conceptualise and plan their performance.  In the evening, housemates would be asked to present their creative outline for the extravaganza to Big Brother. Housemates also had to prepare and submit a script for their showcase piece by tomorrow morning.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Housemates began work and Macky2 said that he wanted to make sure that the crew ended the show on a high note with a splendid presentation. We certainly could not wait to witness the splendour of an explosion of talent from the remaining housemates!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since it was the finale week, Biggie made a few “necessary changes” 
to the weekly routines of the housemates. Biggie required all housemates
 to take note of the changes and to stay aware of them. Below are the 
changes that Biggie made.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Head of House: There would be no Head of House this week. All of the housemates had to assist in the management of the house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Weekly Task and Wager: Housemates would be presented with a variety 
of tasks throughout the week. The tasks would be themed around 
housemates’ memories of their time in the Big Brother house and they 
would have to bring them all together for the final presentation on 
Friday night.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Housemates had to importantly note that there would be no luxury 
wager this week but housemates would play for a surprise mega reward on 
Saturday night.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Extravaganza: The final extravaganza performance would be on Sunday 
night during the live eviction show and housemates had the week to work 
on their presentation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Presentation: Housemates would be asked to do a mini presentation 
each night, which had to relate to either an aspect of the task or the 
extravaganza presentation. This meant that Friday’s presentation was a 
culmination of the week’s mini presentations.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This should be an interesting week!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">JJ shared with his fellow housemates that he wanted to do more work with African musicians and that it was his main reason for returning home. He said that he wanted to add flavour to his music and could not work to begin work on his music.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Macky2 expressed how he could not wait to see what would happen when he went back home. He was also looking forward to going back to his music career and said that he dearly missed studio time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Idris said that a lot awaited each of them outside of the house and that it would be interesting to see where they ended up and how their lives would change after the Big Brother show. From music, the conversation between the gentlemen and the lady (Sipe) turned into one of Talents.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Curious about each other’s talents, the housemates began asking each other what they reckoned the next person was talented in. Watch here for a bit of that conversation:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems that with only a week left for Biggie’s show to reach its end, the housemates began thinking seriously about their lives outside of the house. Which housemates are you looking forward to bumping into along the streets?</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The day after four housemates left the house started off with RJ Benjamin taking the housemates through some singing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> RJ took them through some voice warming exercises, as per the norm, and told them that he wanted each hotshot to do a solo that he could offer criticism on.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">M’ am Bea was the first one up and sung her song. RJ said that she needed to work on pronouncing her words more clearly as a clean pronunciation created a beautiful sound. Butterphly recited a poem and told RJ that she was more into rapping than she was singing. RJ told her that she was clearly good at spoken word and persuaded her to sing more as he believed she could.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sipe came with a rather ambitious song choice, Beyonce’s "Listen", and she quickly aborted the mission when she neared the chorus. She next decided on a song in her mother tongue and RJ told her that she in actual fact sung much better in her language.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The singing steadily continued; Tayo and Nhlanhla each sang one of Permithias’ songs. RJ thought that Tayo’s singing had improved and whilst Nhlanhla did not seem comfortable at the beginning, he gave it another try and had the rest of the housemates joined him at the end of his song. Watch the morning session here:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">RJ Benjamin soon left the house and the housemates got started on their breakfast and some went to shower. The house was much quieter and we watched as the housemates carried on without some of their fellow hotshots. Tayo on the other hand, kept singing and dancing, seemingly coping well with the few housemates remaining.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This week should be interesting to watch as it is the final lap. Who do you think is taking the prize home?</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After revelling in the Sofa Lounge concert as a reward for making it to the final week some of the final eight housemates looked back on various moments over the season that stood out for them. The three musketeers Idris, JJ and Nhlanhla took a funny and frank walk down memory lane and listed their love hits and misses inside the house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The three lads ventured into a candid conversation, with JJ suggesting that Idris’ friendship with Samantha was more than meets the eye. Nhlanhla even suggested that he enjoyed all the attention from the girls as much as he wanted to make it look innocent. Idris also pointed out that JJ kissed Ellah and shouldn’t bother denying it. JJ did admit to nursing a superficial crush on the Ugandan beauty.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It also came out that while Nhlanhla shared a kiss with Mira back in the day, he and Sheillah never ever took it there. He was however very attracted to her. Mira came out everyone’s girl of choice; she was bubbly, bold, beautiful, had a killer bod and was the least complicated of all the girls in the house. Nhlanhla even beamed at his special memory with Mira to whom he fondly referred to as “scheme”, which in this context could be understood as friends (with benefits).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">JJ would marry Samantha and, surprisingly enough, Nhlanhla would marry Goitse, but we’re not sure we buy that story. Idris, of course, was stumped for choice with all he had on his plate. He was also voted somewhat of a pimp in the house for obvious reasons.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nhlanhla finally threw out the loaded question; who amongst the them do they predict a winner? With the exception of themselves they couldn’t decide on who was the most deserving.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is clear that this is going to be a week of bringing up old and fond memories as housemates wait with bated breath to find out who Africa would keep for the final win. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s always hard to say goodbye to the one you love. Tonight’s eviction saw Nhlanhla and Idris kiss Sheillah and Ellah
 farewell; their lady loves had been sent packing. As they put their 
remaining luggage in the store room the knights in shining armour 
quickly penned letters to their damsels.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shortly after the eviction show, as the housemates mourned their 
fallen soldiers, Idris could be heard saying that Biggie had taken two 
of the most important women in his life, leaving him all lonesome in the
 house. But he certainly wasn’t complaining about remaining in the game.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He and Nhlanhla got the bright idea to reach out to their lost loves 
one last time in a short and sweet love letter expressing their undying 
affection. In his letter Idris showered his recipient with kisses and 
hearts so she knew just how much she meant to him. He also made sure to 
let her know she was already missed and that he couldn’t wait to see her
 in seven days' time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nhlanhla poured his heart out all over the page. He encouraged 
Sheillah to make the most out of their first week apart since they had 
met one another. He also called her his “Titanic” and the “captain of 
his ship". Clearly attached to his queen, he ended the letter with an “I
 love you”.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">All this outpouring of love was impressive but we have to ask 
ourselves, as always, if their intentions were genuine or was this a 
ploy at fishing for country votes from Uganda and Botswana? Only time 
will tell.   </span></span></div>
