Today's diary sessions were marred with emotions and startling revelations as housemates bore their souls to Big Brother about the game-changing Head of House challenger that shook them to the core just before last night's nominations. 

During his diary session, on then off Head of House Uyanda told Big Brother that he was adamant that his competitiveness intimidates his fellow housemates. This was after Biggie asked him how he felt about winning HoH then being dethroned by Spha Lee. 

Alliances and cliques forming
Meanwhile, the session further revealed that that alliances and cliques were forming in the house, with some housemates even giving them nicknames. Abobo called Ezra, Nate and Swiss the Amaphephandaba Squad claiming that they always start fights. Other groups that seem to have formed are the snake and the support groups. 

Guys turn on each other
As for the guys, it looks like the girls' fighting energy has rubbed off on them. Abobo and Uyanda called out Ezra and Swiss for having no backbones, referring to them as followers. "For his age, he should be able to stand on his own," Uyanda said of Swiss. Well, the feeling is mutual as Swiss also told Big Brother that he finds Abobo annoying and generally does not like him.

Alliances exposed
Nsuku spilled the tea on the "Snake group" alliance, which allegedly consists of Ezra,  Melino, Nate, Siphesihle and Swiss. She added that her own alliance was with Bonni Bee and Mata and they were more of a "support group." Jojo spilled the tea on groups like the "news anchors" and "tea gossipers" forming after Uyanda’s HoH win, while Savage called out factions like Nate’s army and Bonni Bee’s crew, noting Nate leans on her group more than Bonni Bee does. Mandy Hagan opened up about team dynamics, warming to Nsuku despite their history, and remarked on the housemates getting increasingly “spicy.” Sipha Lee weighed in on the drama, blaming the women for stirring things up, while Siphesihle shared her frustration over Jojo allegedly stealing her idea and how house boundaries are being tested. 

Men's Conference
Though there's a bit of tension among the guys, the men's conference has been formed to deal with those differences and they held their first meeting around the blazing fire in the garden this evening.

It's definitely going to be a very interesting week in Biggie's house!
