Fam! The Housemates have been working very hard for their Task tonight. We have seen them build up the excitement over the last few days and hoping that this is the one they finally win.
Trikytee was chosen as the director of the show for this one, which in the beginning let to a little tension with Praise who interfered with the process often. What we can see however is that Trikytee seems to be a natural at this and has gone into a professional mode that no one has seen before. We saw two rehearsals this morning showing that the Housemates are taking him and the Task very seriously.
Vee has had the chance to show her voice off and music direct the whole show. This has included teaching Erica songs and choosing which songs will be sung and how. We love how excited it has made her even though she has complained that her voice has been strained.
Lead Roles
The leading lady
Erica is our leading lady who plays the daughter of a chief. Her parents arrange for her to be married to someone she is not in love with and she refuses, rather, continuing to engage in a love affair with a man her parents do not approve of.
The male love interest
Neo plays our love interest who pursues his girl at all costs. The underdog, who eventually wins the girl in the end. We have seen Neo and Erica play the roles of the couple in love so well the whole week, and they only get better with every single presentation. we hope this doesn't cause any tension within the 'ships after this.
The mother, the wife of the Chief
Dorathy has come into her own playing Erica's mother in the musical. Though she got off to a subdued start, we have seen her grow into her character and become believable. It is a very cute sight to see her standing next to her musical man, Tochi. Dorathy has given us show that we can really look forward to.
The Young Chief
Prince has the role of playing the young chief who is interested in Erica. We learn that his interest is quite superficial in this arranged marriage and that the arrangement is based on Erica's father owing him money. We are very convinced by Prince's acting, especially with the level of confidence he was exuding this morning while walking around the house with his shirt open, he definitely owns his character, maybe a little too much.
The Father, a Chief
Tochi has been a very surprising character, our usually quiet voice of reason in the House comes alone when he plays the character of the Chief whose daughter defies his wishes to marry a man that he does not approve of. His voice carries royalty and respect as he plays his character, we are quite convinced that this guy has been an actor before.
We are gearing up for the show tonight as we see all the ups and downs that the housemates have gone through to get here. We have literally watched them rehearse until all hours of the night, over and over again. We have questioned whether Ozo and Prince will ever speak again, what problems Praise had with Trikytee and even if people will ever sleep again. We have never seen the Housemates work so hard for something, which begs us one last question: After this week of Wins of daily Tasks, will this be the Task that the collective Housemates finally win?
