22:00 Jojo interviews the guys on how they feel to have it to the top three gents in the house, and Sweet Guluva asks her how it feels to be on the top five ladies that made it. She credits it to being herself, and using Smash Afrika's advise, Sweet Guluva says "if your personality is not broken, don't fix it."
21:25 Housemates are debtaing what the past tense of "scream" is after Mshini says the live show fans "screm" for her, but Nsuku says it's "scrom".

14:14 The wager brief is in, and this week’s theme is “Gennovator.” The housemates have gone all in with a 100% wager. For the task presentation, they must come up with three unique innovations to solve specific problems or enhance existing products and services. Let the creativity flow.
13:53 Nsuku is telling Mshini she wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Swiss. She is expressing her gratitude, saying she feels lucky because she wouldn’t have made it this far without him.
13:24 Abobo, Jojo, and Sweet Guluva are analysing the game. Abobo admits that at first, he thought Big Brother Mzansi would be a breeze, but once reality hit, he could feel the pressure building. He is saying he never thought he would cry in the house.
13:00 Jojo and Sweet Guluva are doing laundry while talking about their families. Jojo mentions that she asked her sister to capture her parents' reactions whenever something happens in the house. She says she is pretty sure they have a lot to say about her in the Big Brother house.

12:04 Siphesihle and Nsuku are clashing over unemployment. Siphesihle is upset after Nsuku said that even the employed can go broke, just like those unemployed. She tells Nsuku she feels like she’s making it out to be like she is downplaying the struggles of unemployment.

09:00 The morning is electric for Siphesihle, she is soaring her voice in pure bliss as she belts out tunes while whipping up a steaming cup of coffee. Sweet Guluva is busy stirring his breakfast on the side, looking as chill as ever. Meanwhile, Mshuni is upstairs, demolishing last night's leftovers with a hunger that says, "I’m not waiting for anyone to wake up."
