We may have missed recapping the first few weeks in the Big Brother Mzansi house, but week 3 is where the story really starts to thicken, and trust us, this is exactly where you want to jump in. Alliances are forming, egos are clashing, and the house is finally feeling like Big Brother Mzansi.
This week, the house became a real-life version of the apps we live on. With the theme being AmaVIP, popularity became key, demonstrating that it not only determines who comes tops but that it influences privileges, relationships and who really runs the house for the week.
The past week in Big Brother’s house was both exciting and somewhat somber when the housemate’s received punishment from Biggie. Neliswa scored herself a win for finishing the challenges at the Friday night arena games, securing a R10 000 win for herself. A moment worth celebrating and a reminder that individual hustle still counts in this game. Those celebrations were, however, short-lived as Biggie warned the Housemates about not taking the competition seriously and breaking the rules.
In this instance, only Dene Jones and Mshefane were the ones who were praised by Biggie for good behaviour. The notorious Thandeka received the toughest punishment, which included being banned from the next Head of House games and dressing as the ‘main character’ until Biggie decides otherwise.
Wager loss
We saw the first wager loss for this season, and it hit hard. Housemates had to create a fictional brand calling for all their skills for which they wagered 100%. Creativity, communication and teamwork were meant to shine here, but instead, cracks began to show. They were dealt a blow when they lost, and all the Housemates admitted that this wager was all about working together, which they did not do. In a rare moment of self-awareness, they all agreed that they did not give it their best.
Biggie’s punishment
As a group punishment, Biggie closed all the bedrooms, including the Head of House suite, with Housemates having to sleep in the lounge. This was because of Biggie’s frustration by Housemates challenging his authority and dragging their feet during tasks. The wager preparations were chaotic, and the housemates’ feelings often got in the way of teamwork, emotions ran high, patience ran low.
Saturday party
This, however, did not deter the housemates from having the most fun during Saturday’s Chillers Party turnup with DJ Shaun101. Galxboy brought the drip and the housemates looked like real VIPs and had social media buzzing on who should be signed as an ambassador for the apparel brand.
Don’t forget to tune in this Monday, 2 February for the new week’s Head of House challenge to see who the captain of the Big Brother Mzansi BAZOZWA house will be in Week 4.
