Day 13: Savage slapped with a cringeworthy reality check – BBMzansi

“You are also a work in progress” says Kay B.
Nate-kayB-Savage

What began as Savage giving props to Kay B and Nate's cooking skills quickly turned into a major cold splash of reality. Kay B called him out on his off behaviour in the house and told him, from now on he should also start every conversation with her by saying ‘I’m a work in progress,’ just like Biggie instructed Bonni Bee. Talk about a swift wake up call.

Savage told the ladies to keep those lekker meals coming, saying it was the first time he actually felt full in the house. But Kay B wasted no time, hitting back, 'So, you weren’t feeling full the last time the 'work in progress' was in the kitchen?', throwing shade at Bonni Bee. Kay B didn’t stop there, she proceeded to remind him exactly what he used to say back in Bonni Bee’s days of hogging the kitchen. 

Kay B didn’t just talk the talk, she acted the whole scene out in Savage’s voice, reenacting how he’d grab Bonni Bee’s arm and say, 'Guys, I would want Bonni Bee to be in the kitchen forever.' Savage was  totally embarrassed and to his defense he said he did all that because he hadn’t tasted their food yet.

Kay B told Savage that he is a work in progress just like Bonni Bee and that next time he better start thinking before he speaks. She didn't let him off the hook, she continued to remind him just how her and Nate kept telling the housemates they can also cook and deserved a chance, but Savage kept insisted Bonni Bee should be the only one in the kitchen. At that moment, Savage instantly got shy and from his face it looked like he wished there was a rock he could crawl under to hide his face.

The ladies cornered Savage and asked if he still wanted Bonni Bee in the kitchen. He tried to play it safe, saying he wasn’t picking sides and was rooting for everyone. 'If there were two kitchens, which one would you choose?', he was querried.

Without missing a beat, Savage threw some serious shade, saying he would choose the one that actually makes him full, giving Nate and Kay B’s kitchen all the credit. 

It’s been an interesting day between Kay B and Savage. Earlier in the day, there was serious tension when Savage tried to sneak his cup into the sink while Kay B was washing dishes. Kay B wasn’t having it and she completely ignored him and wasn’t giving him any room to rinse his cup. Her body language was screaming, 'Leave me alone, bro!'

Bonni Bee has been stuck serving her punishment, leaving her with no time to tend to the pots. Will she reclaim her self-proclaimed title of Head Chef, or will she have to share the kitchen with the others? Only time will tell.
