For most, Mondays are blue. In Biggie’s house, they also have the power to neutralise the potential of ships, blow up friendships, and expose ambitions that eclipse loyalty. Like clockwork, the nominations came, and long-standing connections were tested beyond their limit.
Khosi and Thabang
The social media streets are not the only place abuzz with rife speculation about Khosi and Thabang’s relationship. Yemi saw it and said something. During Sunday’s live eviction show, Ebuka also pointed it out, and shook the tables.
For this reason, Thabana’s decision to save Juvone, instead of Khosicle, led to some tears.
In an emotional debriefing session between the two, Khosi expressed that she’d been hoping to get a break from having to face the hook of eviction this coming Sunday. Based on their “sibling-like” connection, Thabang could have put in a good word with Nana. Thabang, however, assured Khosi that he cares deeply for her. He doesn’t want Monday night’s nomination outcome to affect their relationship.
Yelisa and Kaniva
Yelisa putting up Kaniva marked one of the night’s biggest blindsides. Until recently, Blue Aiva and Yemi’s romance had been gaining momentum. Not even Khosi’s ultimatum last Thursday (5 February), was enough to drive a wedge between the two. Not the same can be said for Yemi’s team putting up his boo for eviction.
After the nominations, Yemi approached Blue Aiva for a heart-to-heart. He ‘fessed up to the fact that the love triangle between him, Blue Aiva, and Khosi has started to overwhelm him. He shared that he now intends to move forward with Khosi. However, he vowed to keep the door open for a connection in the outside world.
Could the ship be sailing?
Tsatsii and Kanaga
They have arguably one of the most stable – and exclusive – relationships in the house. But on Monday, Kanaga Jnr and Tsatsii’s blissful nest suffered a harsh blow. When the time for nominations came, the Royals nominated Kaniva along with Blaqleng. In simpler terms, Tsatsii’s team opted to put up her boyfriend’s team for possible eviction on Sunday. That’s tough love, all right!
Will their ship continue to survive the crushing waves? Perhaps. Last week, the Royals used their veto save privilege to save Blaqleng, instead of Kaniva. It made all the sense: the Royals needed to return the saving grace to Blaqleng, who’d done the same for them weeks prior.
Blue Aiva and Olivia
Olivia’s wigs look fly on Blue Aiva, who’s been rocking them to complement her style. Unfortunately, nurturing a new sisterhood and sharing fashionable items was not enough on Monday night. Along with Juvone, Kaniva put up Juiovla as their second pair. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, one wonders if the girls will be sharing any more fashion accessories.
Nana and Olivia
Jennie O, Nana, and Olivia were tight in the house. But, just a day after Jennie O’s eviction, the remaining women have already had to face the possibility that strategy trumps friendship. After an indecisive back and forth, Thabana finally settled on using their save veto privilege to swap Juvone for Juiovla.
Just moments after the nomination announcement, Olivia flew into a rage. It happened when Nana got teary about how things panned out, and Juicy Jay comforted her. Olivia blasted Juicy Jay for being soft on Nana, who, she felt, had just hung them out to dry.
