A massive wager loss could be looming for the Umlilo housemates.

The mood in the house has been unsettling today as housemates were giving each other some serious social distancing, even at the risk of a wager win.

The vibe has completely shifted, and there’s no end in sight to the ongoing conflicts. In today's diary sessions, some housemates expressed their lack of confidence in their wager presentations, and Philile described the day as draining, a true reflection of the tense atmosphere.

Cliques have formed, frenemies are emerging, and pretence is in full swing as everyone vies to steal the spotlight. The day started off on a tense note with Mshini and Ash-ley Ogle clashing over their wager presentation once again. Ash-ley Ogle threatened to trash her teammates work, but Mshini wasn’t having it. She quickly reminded Ash-ley Ogle that the only authority in the house is Big Brother, not her.

The Water Team was all over the place today, no rehearsals, no unity, and Ash-ley Ogle was busy playing helper in everyone else’s group. So, what’s really going to happen with the White Team, is what frustrated Beekay. He spilled the tea to Big Brother, saying that housemates are out here gossiping about the drama in his team, but they’re forgetting that a bad performance will ruin it for everyone. And one thing Biggie’s house doesn’t tolerate? A lack of teamwork. Whether flying solo or in a group, the expectation is standard 'get it together or face the consequences'.

Gugu from the Blue Team, was fed up with the lack of effort from her teammates. In her diary session, she didn’t hold back, expressing her frustration that, at this rate the team is heading straight for a wager loss. Gugu added that she was tired of playing the role of the team motivator, chasing her teammates around just to get them to rehearse. She told on her group members JojoMelinoSavage, and Swiss as lazy, revealing that all they've done today is sleep.

Gugu’s battles of the day didn’t end with her team drama. She also had a showdown with Abobo, calling him out for slacking in the kitchen. As kitchen duty partners, Gugu feels like she’s carrying the load while all Abobo does is eat his way through the day. After a heated exchange in the morning, Abobo finally washed two dishes, and Gugu was left stunned. She couldn’t believe her eyes and went to vent to Mandy Hagan, telling her she’s done with Abobo and would handle everything herself from then on. Talk about a kitchen meltdown.

It’s clear the house is divided, and no one’s making any moves to mend the broken pieces. Housemates have chosen their poison, and they’re sticking to it, no matter the cost. The real question is will they patch things up before the wager presentation, or will they let the wager ship sink and suffer the aftermath? Only tomorrow will tell.
