After a week in the Big Brother Titans house, the first live eviction show took place last night. Of course, it wasn’t a real eviction; but the housemates didn’t know that until Biggie revealed all.
Much later, the script was flipped again when Biggie summoned the housemates to the second and third rounds of his “Battle of the Sexes” game (the housemates having played the first round prior to the live show). Once again, the males and females were spilt, with the ladies taking on the second round and the gents the third. It was a tense challenge for the housemates, but they conquered.
Once the winners were announced, there was another twist. “Now this is where your life inside Big Brother’s house will become interesting,” Biggie announced before explaining the change-up.
The housemates were led to a line of bowls, each containing several envelopes. The bowls were labelled according to sex and nationality. As housemates were called to step up to the plate – gents first, because they won the first round of yesterday’s game, with Nelisa and Thabang (as the winners of the second and third rounds) allowed to go first – they were expected to pick an envelope from the relevant bowl. Nigerian males picked from the South African female bowl and Nigerian females picked from the South African male bowl and vice versa until the 24 housemates were split into 12 teams.
This is how the housemates were paired.
Thabang and Nana
Nelisa and Yemi Cregx
Juicy Jay and Olivia
Jaypee and Lukay
Justin and Yvonne
Tsatsii and Ebubu
Kanaga and Blue Aiva
Yaya and Marvin
Mmeli and Jenni O
Sandra and Theo Traw
Blaqboi and Ipeleng
Miracle OP and Khosi
To the housemates’ shock, Biggie informed them that they’d be playing the rest of the game in these pairs. And what affects half of the pair, affects the other. So if a housemate gets a strike, so does their other half. If a housemate is disqualified, so is their partner. Importantly, all nominations will be for the pair.
There’s no denying that this has massively upped the stakes and there are sure to be large doses of drama served.
