Dube sparked a revealing discussion with Mmeli when he admitted he'd never expected the situation between himself and Kokii. However, he didn’t hold back, adding that Mmeli and Thandeka’s situationship was even worse, claiming that many housemates, both men and women, were irritated by Thandeka. The honesty opened the floor for Mmeli to address lingering tension between himself and Thandeka, especially their recent fight. Mmeli expressed frustration about Thandeka’s constant concern over what might be happening outside the house, saying it doesn’t sit well with him and affects their dynamic. 

The conversation quickly shifted to gossip and power dynamics after Buhle B reportedly labelled Dube, Kokii, Mmeli, Thandeka, Liema and others as the "Big 6", a group accused of gossiping. Interestingly, the “Big 6” narrative resurfaced again later, this time with Thandeka listing the supposed members as herself, Kokii, Dube, Trixie, Bravo B, Mmeli and Liema. They were also referred to as the "A-listers" of the house.

Rather than rejecting the label, Dube encouraged the group to see it as a sign of strength, suggesting they were the strongest housemates in the game. Thandeka doubled down on the confidence, boldly stating that if anyone were placed against them, that person might as well give up. 

Away from strategy talk, emotions were running high for Trixie. During a candid chat with Didi and Mashel, she vented her frustrations with Bravo B, dropping the line, “If your man doesn’t know where he stands with you, go stand with another man.” Clearly unhappy with the uncertainty of her situationship, Trixie admitted that her past connection with Ofentse may have complicated things further. Didi also revealed that Ofentse had tried to paint Trixie as a player – a narrative that didn’t sit well with her.

Overwhelmed, Trixie later confronted Que, questioning how Ofentse and Tumi the Barber found out about the kiss she shared with him. Unfortunately, Que’s responses only added to her distress. The emotional weight became too much, and Trixie was later seen in the garden, visibly upset and in tears.

Bravo B eventually approached her, concerned about her subdued mood. In a moment of vulnerability, Trixie apologised for not being upfront about her actions in the house and offered to tell him everything. Bravo B’s response was calm and reassuring, making it clear that he had no issues with her at all, a moment of grace amid the chaos.

With alliances forming, labels flying and emotions spilling over, the Bazozwa house is proving that strategy and feelings rarely stay separate for long.
